How would you react if you find out that the world will ends in 12 days?

I'm really enjoying this series.
I really liked how Golf's character grew during the story and in particular I find the bond with his brother very nice, he's like a light in the middle of all the mess that happens around.
Art is a lovely character, sometimes he reacts a bit on impulse but it's understandable because waking up not knowing what happened doesn't have to be nice (especially if you later find out that the world is about to end and that your roommate has beaten you with a guitar...).
Their chemistry in the nc scene is very high, but also in all the almost kissing scenes. (OT: I was screaming in all these scenes because I wanted them to kiss so bad ?).
The two villains, on the other hand, I expected to be much more evil, but considering that the world is about to end it's okay that they behave in a strange way, who wouldn't? I really like their chemistry: their kisses and their nc scene are on fire.
I'm on episode 9, so almost at the end, and I can say that the actors and director did a great job! I'm very curious to see how it ends... ?

PS. if the world ends i hope i find myself in a room with a nice guy too ??

The summer you will all love!

This new kdrama is getting noticed by everyone, and all the success it's having is well deserved! Who knows, maybe it will become one of the most popular series of 2022? I wish it will.

The story revolves around Choi Ung, a nationally renowned illustrator and Kook Yeon-soo, a public relations expert. Both are 29 years old, both are unhappy and both were madly in love with each other until 5 years ago... at least until they became just one another's ex. For this reason when they broke up they promised to never see each other again, but fate will not be on their side: in fact, during their last year of high school, they shot a documentary together and, after ten years, that documentary is gone viral, so much that fans ask for it to continue to see how the two protagonists are now. So the production house decides to please them. At first it will not be easy to convince Ung and Yeon to participate, but then things will start to take a different direction.

Reading the plot, you might think it's a simple love story, but I assure you that it's not! The feelings in this kdrama are transported from the screen to the viewer's heart, because they are feelings that we have all experienced at least once in our life: regret not having done something, fear of opening up to the other person. This was possible above all thanks to the skill of the two protagonists, played by Choi Woo-shik (yes, the one from “Parasite”) and Kim Da-mi (you can find her in “Itaewon Class”). They have crazy chemistry on screen, and they managed to make us poor viewers participate in their sentimental dramas too! In addition to this I feel I want to underline the beauty of the soundtrack, which made me shed many (too many) tears and the tenderness of some scenes that you absolutely must not miss, so run and see it, you will not regret it!

Here fo you the best k-drama of 2021!

Yes, I say it and I'll confirm it for life, "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" is the best k-drama of 2021, if not one of the best in recent years. Why? Well, nothing is missing: complete characters, a wonderful soundtrack, fantastic light, colors and shots, not to mention the story! But what is it about?

The story revolves around Yoon Hye-jin, a beautiful city girl who works as a dentist in Seoul, but who is fired one day for accusing (rightly) her boss of suggesting expensive treatments to patients just to make more money. At that point, without a job, she immediately decides to look for another job, but unfortunately her sweet ex-boss has spread false rumors about her, and for this reason Hye-jin have to resign. In the meantime, she decides to take a short trip to Gongjin, a small earthly paradise located by the sea where she used to go with her parents as a child, and here she meet Hong Du-sik. Du-sik is literally the opposite of Hye-jin: a handyman country boy who is even called a "village chief" by the citizens precisely because he knows how to do any type of job and above all because he takes care of the village elders. The two initially don't get along very well, but over time, as they continue to cross paths, they take a liking to each other. At this point Hye-jin decides to open a dental office in Gongjin, but initially things will not go as expected due to some misunderstandings, but luckily Du-sik intervenes to get her out of trouble, and things will slowly start to settle down.

The strong point of the drama are certainly the two leading actors, who are played respectively by Shin Min-a (Oh My Venus) and Kim Seon-ho (known for Start Up). In particular, this was the first leading role for Kim Seon-ho, who I can say managed to bring out the best of himself for this rural and unconventional character, in addition to his smile that I personally find very sweet (and not only his but also that of Shin Min-a, if you want to know why I warmly invite you to see it and grasp this adorable detail that binds them). Another familiar face of the cast is certainly Lee Sang-yi (found in Youth of May), who plays a former director of Hye-jin's schoolmate who wants to shoot a new show in Gongjin.
"Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" is one of those romantic comedies that will remain in your heart for a long time; thanks to the skill of the actors and some issues that are addressed, it will be able to warm your soul and make you feel part of a big family: the one of Gongjin. So, if you want a funny and light story, but at times also very dramatic (I cried a lot in some scenes), I recommend this beautiful k-drama, it will not disappoint you.

This drama is a gem

What about this drama? It left me amazed. I found the story very deep, at times even too realistic, you can see that there was a big work behind the script, in fact this series, in my opinion, deserves to be seen even just for the screenplay. The narration is very fluid, never boring or banal, and the story tells the difficulties of everyday life from different points of view.
There is Jim (Earth), owner of the chicken restaurant and a very closed person due to a difficult past and present with some financial and relational problems, who, however, can always count on Gaipa (Khao), his friend who is secretly in love with him; and then there's Wen (Mix), the opposite of Jim but a character that will make you collide with the difficult reality that life sometimes puts in front of us: after years of love, even an healthy and happy relationship can end when one of the two stops to love the other, and this thing, unfortunately, sooner or later has to be accepted... something that Alan (First), Wen's ex-boyfriend, didn't understand, even if it means suffering to have him.
Then there is the second couple, personally my favorite, formed by Heart (Gemini), a boy who has become deaf due to an accident and who has been forced to live indoors for three years due to overprotective parents , and Li Ming (Fourth), Jim's nephew and a hotheaded guy, who, due to a succession of events, will have to keep Heart company when his parents are not at home.
I suggest you give Moonlight Chicken at least a chance because it's a well-curated drama in many aspects. As I have already written, the screenplay is wonderful, but also the shooting and photography are amazing (if you don't believe me, just watch the trailer) but the strong point in my opinion are the actors and their performances: phenomenal.
If you decide to watch it, prepare lots of tissues!

What's special about "Crash Landing on You"?

Yoon Se-ri (Son Ye-jin) is a successful business woman who anyone would want to be: a billionaire entrepreneur with a clothing and skincare line called "Seri's Choice". Se-ri's father, recently released from prison on probation, can no longer run the "Queen's Group" (the family's *chaebol) and wants Se-ri to take his place, because her siblings cannot compete with her business acumen. As the "Queen's Group" prepares to make the official announcement, Se-ri decides to personally test the new sports suits of her brand by paragliding, but something goes wrong, and she's caught by a sudden tornado, which pushes her to the borders with North Korea. Here she has a fateful meeting with captain Ri Jeong-hyeok (Hyun Bin): from this moment on begins a tormented and very romantic love story that will accompany you, between super fashionable outfits and moments that will keep you in suspense, until in the end.
*chaebol: term used for the first time in 1984, an industrial conglomerate that is managed by a person or a family (among the best known chaebols also in the West --> Samsung, Hyundai, LG).

Captain Ri, played by Hyun Bin, is a man who appears cold and a little naive, but who turns out to be loyal and very sweet towards Se-ri, despite his dramatic past. Se-ri, even though she is a successful and very rich woman, has a terrible family: her brothers can't stand her because she is a woman and she has been more successful than them, her mother has always treated her with indifference. Surely our two beautiful protagonists are very shippable together, with such tragic pasts! Alongside them, the secondary characters are also very important, in particular Seo Dan, played by Seo ji-hye, an heiress of a North Korean department store and aspiring cellist who is also the "girlfriend" of Ri Jeong-hyeok for an arranged marriage; Gu Seung-jun / Alberto Gu (Kim Jung-hyun, who you may know from "Welcome to Waikiki"), a smart and charming South Korean cheat with British citizenship.

This k-drama was one of the most watched on TvN in South Korea, and there are a lot of reasons why it became so popular. The first thing I want to underline is the importance given to the relations between North Korea and South Korea: from the first moment we see two completely different characters, who represent North Korea (Se-ri) and South Korea ( Captain Ri), who try to interact with each other despite the (few) differences, all seasoned with a good dose of comedy that will make you more than a laugh. Another detail that can be seen is how the series tries to make the military and all North Korean citizens more "human", which I think is very nice ... but the sister of Kim Jong Un (leader of Korea of ​​the North) doesn't think like me, infact she has repeatedly reiterated how South Korea is producing films and series that are impure and unfaithful to North Korean reality. But I can assure you that this is not the case (okay, maybe this series romanticizes things a bit, but I think it's really okay, because it's still a show, not reality!). The last thing I would like to emphasize is that the series wants to get the message across: "Okay, the two Koreas are still divided, but look, in reality you are not as different as they want you to think; you have habits, rituals and a few different words, but in the end you are always Korean citizens, whether you are from the North or from the South!".
In short, if you want to know a little about North Korea and its people, I highly recommend you to watch this drama!
