5 Slice-Of-Life K-Dramas That Will Pull At Your Heartstrings
5 Slice-Of-Life K-Dramas That Will Pull At Your Heartstrings
Just finished the #kdrama #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines My husband and I sniffled through the last episode.
Him: Basically, a lot of emotional manipulation.
Me: You mad, bro?
It's a trending today film, so I started watching #Mantis out of curiosity. Because it's not something I'd normally pick. Especially if it was Hollywood. But I'm enjoying the concept, because there's a very Korean side to it all. I am watching it in small sections though ( 3) and will watch the last half hour when I'm less tired.
#cdrama I'm still slowly doing #TheFirstFrost
#whenlifegivesyoutangerines I've still got the last episode to watch 🍊
So here I go: trying #TheFirstFrost and probably the first thing I miss are the narrow alleys of Seoul and Jeju Island 🤣 So I just need to get over that, and Soju.
I also need to finish #whenlifegivesyoutangerines #kdrama
( I have one episode of #kdrama #whenlifegivesyoutangerines left, but I see it's very long, so I'm not starting that this time of night. I've certainly cracked on with it now summer is over. So the: "what next?" question hangs. Should I try a Chinese historical drama if I'm reaching out to the local Hong Kong community moving here? I didn't really enjoy a Japanese one I started watching)

While watching #whenlifegivesyoutangerines I was proud of my #kpop knowledge to recognise this song, and know it's context/ importance in the story of K-pop. Thinking back four years when I was trying to read about Korea history and culture and it was so hard to find anything ( in UK ) I hope there's more knowledge now for anyone exploring the genre after seeing #kpopdemonhunters

I do have some of those on the Baeksang lists already watched, but many more to add.
After #Reply1988, I also went on a Park Bo Gum quest. #HelloMonster, #Wonderand, & #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines
And since "Jealousy Incarnate" I've also been on a Ko Kyung Pyo quest - #StrongestDeliveryMan, #FranklySpeaking, #MarriageInContract, #FlowerBoyNextDoor
I'm watching #LoveInTheMoonlight now for both my PBG & Kim You Jung quests.
#kdrama #whenlifegivesyoutangerines ep 11 - I slogged through the end of this one....
As the nights draw in, it's time to return to #whenlifegivesyoutangerines ( rather than reading in the garden) so I've managed E10 tonight

Now in Compose Coffee. V is not here, in any form at all. But there is a TV and seats and hot coffee.
I'm not going to go into a lengthy plot summary. If this sounds like your thing, I encourage you to settle in and watch this drama. It is a genuine masterpiece, and everything about it is moving and exquisite. All of the actors are first rate, with IU in particular compelling as Ae-Sun. I really liked Ae-Sun's mother Gwang-rye, too. She seems stern and harsh at first, but we see how she treasures her daughter and struggled to give her a better life.
63/N
Gwang-rye is one of those indomitable women who works tirelessly to provide for her family, and her one wish is for Ae-Sun to have a better life, and certainly not one as a haenyeo. Gwan-sik is Ae-Sun's contemporary, a boy from a marginally more prosperous fishing family. Gwan-sik latches on to Ae-Sun from the time they are children, though she rebuffs him and treats him like something of a simpleton.
61/N
This is an epic and often tragic story that in a way mirrors Korea's own metamophosis from a poor, traditional society to a prosperous and modern one. Our story follows the life of Oh Ae-Sun, born in the 1950's on Jeju Island in Korea. Ae-Sun's mother Gwang-rye is a haenyeo, a woman who dives in the chilly depths every day for abalone to support her family.
