✧°. “crash landing on you” (2016)
KDRAMAs THAT MADE ME FEEL SOMETHING
(not in any particular order)
disclaimer: I just started watching kdramas seriously this 2020. This is highly personal.
These dramas are the best, for me at least, and the ones that made me feel the most. 👌🏻
* Crash Landing On You 🏔
- This has been my black whole for kdramas-I went in and I never came back. This drama made me fall in love with kdramas.
- It is funny, romantic and heartwarming at the same time. It showed that sometimes strangers can be more home than your family.
- I loved the second couple just as much as the main.
- This helped me a lot through this year, I went through a hardcore ‘separation anxiety’ when it ended.
Feels like: a sunny day under a tree surrounded by flowers in full bloom 🌸🌺
Romance: so strong that it can light up the whole of North Korea (not my words)
Strengths: actor’s chemistry
Rewatch? : ABSOLUTELY
* The Tale of the Nine Tailed 🦊
- I don’t watch horror films AT ALL but the fact that I enjoyed this and loved it says a lot about how good this is.
- The magical character made it feel like I was reading a fantasy novel
- Family
- I loved some characters more than others and I wished some endings didn’t end the way they did BUT I understood.
Feels like: a hot bowl of soup on a rainy day
Romance: electric
Strengths: the BROTHERHOOD
Rewatch? : yes
* Extraordinary You 🌺
- the cutest but also mind-blowingly good
- Almost all characters are amiable. They are young but incredibly capable.
- It is like watching anime human version
- Will make you miss your youth (given that I am the same age as the actors)
Feels like: having butterflies in the stomach
Romance: the best of young love
Strengths: unique plot
Rewatch? : definitely!
* The King: Eternal Monarch 👑
- I watched this while it was airing and I very much enjoyed all the theories here on tumblr just as much as the drama itself
- Doppelgänger to a whole other level
- Thought provoking
- Strong independent individuals
- I loved this drama deeply and who wouldn’t fall in love with the male lead who is smart, decisive and loyal.
- The love line was mature without any misunderstanding.
- It will make you cry
- The ending was not perfect but it tied up mostly everything in the end. I wanted to see more of this world.
Feels like: reading a love poem
Romance: literal star-crossed lovers
Strengths: cinematography
Rewatch? : YES
* Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo 🏋️♀️
- okay, right now you just want a break from kdrama mind games. You just want a cute rom-com. This is the drama for you!
- This is relatable in the sense that you are not even an athlete but you think you know what it feels like
- Tremendously raw at times
- Light but with weight
Feels like: falling in love
Romance: adorable 😍
Strengths: friends that are family
Rewatch? : the type that you can watch over and over again
* While You Were Sleeping 🌸
- dreamy and also “what a visual cast.”
- The first episode is an entire movie
- It is smart
- Will make you care for people you don’t even know
- One of my fave endings
Feels like: a beautiful daydream
Romance: love in it’s purest form
Strengths: OST
Rewatch? : done
* It’s Okay Not To Be Okay 👠
- As you may have guessed from the title, it’s about mental health
- humanly tender
- It shows how the toughest battles are in your head
- This will make you bawl your eyes out
- Not for the weak at heart
- Strong female lead
- Found family
- You will need a huggg after this
Feels like: sleeping in the softest silk
Romance: chemistry across all boards
Strengths: Fashion
Rewatch? : maybe? Just because it hurts (albeit the best way) and also because I already did
* Itaewon Class 🌙
- This is something you can recommend anybody
- About life-it’s best and worst moments
- makes you wanna get your life together
- Also, it makes you want to wrap these people in comfy blankets and give them hot milk
Feels like: WINNING
Romance: it will grow on you
Strengths: acting was superb and OST!
Rewatch? : DONE
* Goblin ⚔️
- How can we make a list of kdramas without this main meal? Everyone loved this and I must say, rightfully so.
- Dynamic duo bromance
- Second lead couple was everything
- Noteworthy
Feels like: experiencing the first snow fall
Romance: will also grow on you
Strengths: everything about this was iconic
Rewatch? : highly likely
These are highly mainstream dramas because I’m a basic b*tch but also since I’ve been reading everybody’s lists before watching (mostly). And if your fave is not in the list, it’s likely that I have not watched it so hit me up 👇🏻. I have TONS still to watch so don’t come at me.
All my Love. 💋
P.S. Yet to watch: Scarlet Heart, Hotel De Luna, Reply Series, etc. ✌🏻
I love crash landing on you so far all the characters are noice and i hope there's some second lead syndrome that absolutely breaks my heart thank you very much
NO
JUST NO
tumblr, let's promise to riot when this even makes it out.
Me? Be in love with Se-ju? More likely than you think
