Day 23: A Legendary Kiss

Oh boy, do I have a few choices.

#BusinessProposal
- SML tells SFL that he is going to make sure that she remembers the kiss because she doesn't remember the first one. Dude removed his glasses and sent the internet a buzz 😂

#CoffeePrince
-door kiss and no, it is not someone kissing a door 😂 but rather against a door after Gong Yoo has grappled with discovering the FL is in fact a female

2 are from #StrongWomanDoBongSoon
-Min Hyuk kissing Bong Soon's forehead on the sofa after she admits her feelings
-ML lifts FL onto the piano

#Goblin
-the hotel kiss after ML walks FL through the portal back to the hotel in Quebec City

2 are from
#ItsOkayToNotBeOkay
-the birthday kiss
-the desk kiss

I love a good drama kiss 😉

#DramaRecsChallenge Part 1

Damn, I have not been watching any for a couple of weeks and not been checking out this hastag either.

2 posts as I catch up

Day 1: 1st Drama. Thinking it was either #SlaveHunters or #BoysOverFlowers... 2009 BOF it is.

Day 2: An Epic Love Story. #DescendantsOfTheSun or #MrSunshine OR Goblin

Day 3: A Gripping Thriller. Either #Signal or #SaveMe

Day 4: A Powerful performance. Oh this is so subjective because you could easily swap in the word memorable. Gong Yoo in #Goblin or Oh Jung Se in #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay

Day 5: A Compelling Historical. #MyCountryTheNewAge

Feb 4 Memorable sidekick

hmmm, I am going to say sidekicks and note #Hwarang as the 6 men all seem to be a sidekick to at least one other person

Watch your tone around me; I am very sensitive and will cry. #borderlinethoughts #butforreal #itsokaytonotbeokay #itsokaytocry

High-functioning depression often hides in plain sight. Here’s how it manifests:

It’s okay to not be okay. High-functioning depression is real and valid.

@mtechman
#ItsOkayToNotBeOkay is a pretty fabulous drama on a number of levels. It's slightly less serious about the mental health aspects than a show like #DailyDoseOfSunshine but the ML works in a psychiatric unit and is a caregiver for his brother who has relatively severe autism. The references to fairy tales and the wardrobe and sets are all pretty fabulous. I cry easily and don't recall that being a big issue for me with this show.

@mtechman

It's a fabulous drama!!

Of course, the amount of crying depends on you & how much you identify with the problems of the characters.

But there are a lot of funny moments to balance out the sad. Beautiful life lessons & a lot of hope & healing happen too.

It's worth the tears in my humble opinion.

Day 9: Drama from another year that I watched in 2024.

Always enjoyable, I rewatched 2020s #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay. Still in my top 10 all time faves.

@noam @liztai
So many great #kdrama shows in a wide variety of genres on Netflix and even more that are available on Viki.
#CrashLandingOnYou is one that draws many people in.
I started with #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay, which adds fairy tales and psychiatry to the mix. #ItaewonClass was next, with a great revenge story. I have found very few duds, to be honest!
