My picks for entertainment ~ suggested movies, TV shows, music, and books ~ so you can enjoy some quality ME time! (ATTN Korean drama addicts! This blog has lots of K-drama love.)
In the USA, the most popular streaming sites for Korean dramas are Netflix and Viki. Maybe I shouldd say, the most popular streaming sites that I know of. I have been a long-time Netflix subscriber and even though I give Netflix credit for introducing me to the wonderful world of Korean drama, I am a loyal Viki viewer. I became a loyal Viki viewer because Netflix didn't have enough TV series and movies to satisfy my appetite. Especially not enough sageuk or historical period K-dramas.
These days, Netflix has added lots more K-dramas to their database; and their Netflix Original Series are very entertaining. The Viki Original Series are equally entertaining.
If you want to watch a Viki Original Series, I highly recommend: Lovers of the Red Sky (2021); and The King Loves (2017). Viki has lots more original series that I could suggest but I prefer to finish them and write reviews first, before telling others to dd to their watch list.
“Tomorrow With You” is a 2017 drama series,
with 16 episodes, and can be categorized as Time Travel, Romance,
Comedy (Rom-Com) and Fantasy or Supernatural.
SUMMARY: Suppose you meet someone on one day and that chance meeting saved your life. Then on another day you see your lifeless body being a carried away and the lifeless body of the woman who saved your life is also being carried away. Since you have the ability to time travel, maybe you can go back and sever the relationship you have with her. That should be fix everything. Right? That might work IF ... the ability to travel through time also gives you the ability to change the future. But if it doesn't ...
Yoo
So-joon is a handsome, young and wealthy CEO. You could say he has
it all. What more could he ask for? Love? Well, that's obvious.
But what else? How about the ability to travel through time? That
wasn't exactly something that Yoo So-joon had on his wish list. But
one day while riding the subway train, he felt a terrible pain in his
head. The next thing he knew he was in a different time period. As
soon as he got off the train he met another time traveler. The time
traveler told him he'll have to get used to going back and forth
between past, present, and future. But the most important rule is to
never be in the same time period with yourself. He can't be with his
present self and his future self at the same time. That's bad!
OK!
Important safety tip! But guess what happened? Yoo So-joon saw his
dead body being carried away on a stretcher. There was also a woman
who had died and her name was Song Ma-Rin. Yoo So-joon wondered if
it was possible to change the outcome of this tragic event. He time
traveled again and it turns out he and Song Ma-Rin were married. In
another time period, he and Song Ma-Rin were both on the same train.
They got into an argument with each other and got off the train.
While they were still arguing, the train blew up! Yoo So-joon had
intended to stay on the train that day. If he had, he would have
died.
Somehow
the timelines of their lives were intertwined. In one period, she
saved his life. In another, they both died together.
Song
Ma-Rin is unaware that Yoo So-joon has already seen her future. She
is barely managing to live in the present because her past keeps
getting in the way. Song Ma-Rin used to be a child star but when she
grew up she did not pursue an acting career. The problem is
reporters keep writing articles about how she has not accomplished
anything since her fame as a child actress and this gets in the way
of her moving forward. When she met Yoo So-Joon he gave her this
advice: "Life is shorter than you think. You shouldn't be
hung up on the past.” He
could say that, since Yoo So-joon already knew her future.
Yoo
So-joon decided to traveled back in time to see if he could break
their connection. If he could somehow sever their relationship, they
wouldn't be together, they wouldn't fall in love and get married, and
they probably would not die in a terrible accident. But does
having the ability to time-travel also give you the ability to change
your future?
This
Kdrama series had mixed reviews. Some did not give high marks for
the acting or the script. Others said it was underrated and thought
the chemistry between the couple was great.
I
am always interested in how a scriptwriter will spin a
time travel fantasy / love story. In “Tomorrow
With You”:
The
female lead had a difficult time trying to get away from her past,
so that she could live productively in the present.
The
male lead was trying to get away from his grim future that had her
in it.
He
felt should she could easily fix her problem if she just wasn't hung
up on her past. Whereas the best way to fix his problem was to get
her out of his life, because she is the problem!
I love foreign films and television shows, as long as they have English subtitles. But what if? What if there was a tool to combine my education with my entertainment?
I got hooked on Korean dramas several years back. I especially liked the historical dramas during the Joseon or Chosun time period.
Because Netflix did not have enough K-dramas to satisfy me, Viki became my GO-TO site for Asian TV. One thing that used to frustrate me though was having to wait for a series to be translated with English subtitles. My first K-drama television series was “Tamra the Island”. The young British noble William seemed to have a gift for learning languages. But the one thing I noticed when I started watching K-dramas was that the language was not that difficult to learn. I am not gifted like William however I found it easy to pick out conversational phrases like “Have you eaten?” However, the idea of adding a feature to the video that helps you learn the language? That's absolutely fabulous! Way to go Viki! And the tool will teach Chinese also?? SCORE!
Lee
Dong-wook appears on many lists of “most handsome” South Korean
male actors. But he is not just a pretty face. He is popular for a
variety of reasons. He is very talented, has a versatile acting
range, is known to have a charming persona, and he
is “best buds” with Gong Yoo.
Lee
Dong-wook is an award-winning actor. Since he has been appearing in
Korean dramas since 2005, you might not know where to begin. Check
out this list:
“Chief of Staff”, Season 1, introduces Jang Tae-joon, an ambitious political aide with a troubled past, but a charismatic personality. The dark cutthroat world of Korean politics is an intricate web of power and corruption. Nevertheless, Tae-joon rises through the ranks to become the Chief of Staff. Even though he faces constant moral dilemmas and ethical challenges, he is determined in the pursuit of justice and bringing about meaningful change. His personal relationships may or may not be sacrificed.
Lee Jung-Jae plays Jang Tae-joon.
Season 2 carries on with the political intrigue and power struggles. Tae-joon faces new adversaries, discovers secrets, and forms unexpected alliances. There are new characters and relationships evolve. Conspiracies play out that threaten not only their careers but their lives. The scriptwriters for this K-drama series skillfully weave together personal and political storylines. This intense political drama is very thought-provoking.Where to Watch

"Shine or Go Crazy" (alternate title: "Shine or Be Mad") was released in 2015 and it is a "gem". If you have not already watched, then add this Korean drama series to your watch list. It has 24 episodes and is available on Viki.com.
Talk about palace
intrigue. It's loaded with murder by poison, spies who spy on the
spies, and warriors on different sides. The good guy warriors or the "Righteous" wear
BLACK. The bad guy warriors wear RED. It is set during the period
BEFORE the Joseon era when the country was called Goryeo. The main
character is Wang So (played by Jang Hyuk) and he is the cursed Prince
of Goryeo who is destined to become the emperor. But! Will he be a good emperor or a bad emperor?
The reason the
series is called “Shine or Go Crazy” is because when his future
or fate was read, it was determined that he was born with both a
light and fire. That means he will either shine bright like a star
OR he'll be a madman. We won't know until the last episode. LOL.
Is there a love triangle? Of course! It's a Korean drama! There is
more than one love triangle and some interesting family ties. I love all of those complicated
relationships.
I have a silly complaint though. I
don't really like the costumes from the Goryeo Dynasty (AD 918-1392).
I like the clothes they wore during the Joseon historical period.
But hey! It's history. If that was the fashion back then, I'll just
have to accept it.
It’s official! My kids have decided that their mother has lost all the marbles in her head. Why? K-drama television series. Very pleased with the business decision by Netflix to add such programs into their database. Even more pleased that many of the programs are available for viewing online free at various websites. Can’t explain my reactions. Grew up on American television. My husband got me started watching foreign films. Once my kids began subscribing to Netflix and other similar video streaming services noticed that some of them were into binge-watching. One particularly boring day at home decided to binge-watch a BBC mystery because BBC television mysteries are my favorite. From that point, binge-watching became my way of treating myself to a healthy dose of doing … The Nothing! You know. Those days when you just decide you have earned your “Goof Off All Day” reward and no serious work will be done on that day!
However, even when indulging myself in binge-watching, never lost sleep over a TV show; and certainly never really thought any series was worth watching more than once. Might watch a few particular episodes a few times more. But never the whole series!
Did I say BBC mysteries “are” my favorite? Sorry. Meant to say “were”.
Huh?? Duh??!! That was how my children reacted. – (???) What could possibly make mom choose an alternative for the BBC? Answer. Those silly cute adorable Korean drama television series that have incredibly simple yet intricate, seemingly never-ending storylines with each episode, that leave with the thought”: ‘Gotta find out how this ends!!’
My first taste of K-drama was a movie called “Commitment”. It was intense!!
Then my husband found a more light-hearted TV series called “Tamra the Island” It’s a romantic dramedy (drama and comedy blend) that was “Inspired by the real story of a Dutch explorer, a young Englishman discovers Kdrama in the 17th century Joseon Era”. (Quote source: dramafever) One of the main characters was played by this tall handsome guy with the “skinny little body” whose name in the series was Park Gue, whose real name is Im Ju Hwan. I was impressed with him so search for more programs where he was playing a character.
My research indicated that Hwan (Park Gue) had made an appearance in this show. Started watching the program only looking for him. Got stuck on it!! Got so stuck one night and didn’t go to sleep until about 4:30 in the morning!! Hwan did make an extremely brief appearance, after about 20 episodes. Talk about an Easter egg hunt! Anyway … glad someone realized this young man’s acting abilities and gave him the lead role in “Tamra the Island”. Disappointed at only catching a tiny glimpse of Hwan in this TV show. However, my decision to view the entire series was filed under “Happy R&R Time Well Spent”. Took me a few days to finish all the episodes. Will say no more because people hate spoilers. But if you like romantic dramedy, you’ll like “Boys Over Flowers”. Wonderful love story. It’s so cute!!
In
"Miraculous Brothers", the two main characters ~ Yook
Dong-Joo and Lee
Kang San ~ meet
each other by accident. But perhaps the accident that brought them
together was actually a miracle. This Korean drama series was
released in 2023 and has 16 episodes.
Some
people are chasing after a young man and he is running for his life.
The night is dark, it's raining, and just as lightning strikes he
runs into the street and gets hit by a car. The driver of the car
takes him to a hospital where he is pronounced dead. While in the
hospital's Emergency Room, the driver hears someone calling “Brother!
Brother!” Not sure where the voice is coming from, he approaches
the bed where the young man is lying dead from his injuries. When he
leans in closely, without realizing it, his breath goes into the
young man's nostrils and his eyes open. HE'S ALIVE!! It's a
MIRACLE!
Lee
Kang San
is alive but he is suffering from amnesia and doesn't even know who
is. Except he does remember having a backpack, although he can't
remember what was inside the backpack. Yook Dong-Joo is keeping
something a secret and kind of hopes Kang
San won't remember. If
Kang San regains his memory, Dong-Joo will want to be there so he can
explain his actions and beg for forgiveness. Since
Yook Dong-Joo was the driver, he accepts responsibility by allowing
Kang San to come and live with him.
Lee
Kang San has no memory but discovers that he has superpowers. He
hears voices, can feel the pain of others, and can disappear and
reappear. Dong-Joo advises him to keep his special abilities a
secret.
At
first, Dong-Joo is worried that Kang San would find out he stole the
manuscript that was in his backpack. But he becomes even more
anxious because:.
An anonymous phone caller tells him that the manuscript should have never been published. He realizes someone else must know he stole the manuscript. If they know, then what are they after? Is he in danger?
A
police detective tells him that the murders written about in the manuscript are actually happening. Not only that but the present-day murders are linked to a 27-year-old murder case.
Dong-Joo
begins to do research on his own about the murders and makes a
shocking discovery. It appears that Lee Kang San is a TIME TRAVELER!
Things
just keep getting more and more complicated.

Plot Summary
In the beginning episode, we meet the young boy who will become the prince and the young girl that he falls in love with and promises to marry. Like typical historical Korean dramas, it is loaded with political power struggles between ruthless court officials and of course, there's a touching love story.
Childhood Trauma
A young prince
witnesses horrific bloodshed and commands that it be stopped. Since
he is a small child, his command is disregarded and he is returned to
his father; only to learn that it was his father who ordered the
bloodshed. To add insult to injury, his mother is “accidentally”
killed (really she was murdered).
From that day forward, he not only
hates his father, HE HATES EVERYBODY!
Everybody except his close
friend from childhood. Everybody should have at least one true friend in this world.
Two Marriages of Convenience?
The prince is forced into a marriage of convenience. His wife, the
princess, becomes pregnant by another man. In an effort to cover up her infidelity, the father-in-law (the father of the princess) attempts to kill
the prince. The assassination attempt fails. However, while trying to escape his assassins, the
prince falls down a slope and hits his head. A poor man finds him and takes care of him as best he can while he is unconscious.
When he
regains his consciousness, he does not remember who he is. When he was the prince he had given an order that all spinsters get married. The poor man's daughter has not yet obeyed this command and time is running out. The poor
man is desperate to save his daughter from being punished for disobeying the law. She is in peril and could be flogged to dearth. So he the prince that he is his daughter's husband-to-be and that they
must marry immediately. Another marriage of convenience?
What Happened During 100 Days
For 100 days,
he lives the simple life of a commoner and falls in love. He is found
by his father-in-law and brought back to the palace. His memory has
not returned. But slowly bits and pieces of incidents from his past,
like puzzle pieces, begin to fit together. His story begins …
AGAIN!
Gradually he realizes who he is and what he needs to do, i.e. fight against those who want him dead. But he also knows
what he wants to do, i.e. marry the woman he fell in love with
as a commoner. Eventually, he'll discover that she is the little girl he met when he was a
child and had promised he would marry anyway. Sadly, along the timeline from their childhood to young adults, many many unhappy and tragic events have occurred.
Will the prince overcome his opponents and will he and the woman he loves be able to live happily ever after?
Nam Ji Hyun plays Yi Seo, the woman he truly loves.
RATING
Most viewers gave this series 4.8 out of 5 stars or 9.5. out of stars. I agree. To date, 100 Days My Prince stands as "the 11th highest-rated drama in Korea" (Source); and fans are super excited for Season 2.
The first film was Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds. In the previous film, Su Hong was a vengeful spirit roaming the earth. In this sequel film, Su Hong (played by Kim Dong Wook), the vengeful spirit has now been taken into the afterlife. He must pass the series of heavenly court trials and prove that he has lived a virtuous life (not counting the time when he was misbehaving as a vengeful spirit).
If he is judged not guilty, he can be reincarnated.
Only ... he does not want to be reincarnated.
But? What will happen if he does not get reincarnated?
That causes a problem for the trio of guardians. Assisting souls and helping them get reincarnated are acts, “good deeds”, that are credited on their records. If they can help a certain number of souls get reincarnated they will also be allowed to reincarnate. They were once human and evidently, because of what they did in their past life, they were unable to prove their worth. So the gods in charge promised they could return to earth as mortals IF …
Su Hong's insistence that he does not want to be reincarnated is complicating matters for them.
But what did they do in their past life?
Their memories were wiped. So they don't exactly know. In this sequel film, the life story of each guardian is revealed. It turns out there are some differences they need to resolve with each other. Su Hong's heavenly trials and the reconciliation of the relationships between guardians all take place in 49 days.
Along With The Gods: The Two Worlds, released in 2017, is a film that explores Buddhist beliefs regarding the afterlife and reincarnation. It is based on the webtoon series by Joo Ho-min.
Kim Ja Hong (played by Cha Tae Hyun, “Brain Works”) is a courageous firefighter who died in the line of duty. When he enters the afterlife he finds himself being escorted by a team of guardians. They inform him that he died and that he must go through seven (7) otherworldly courts. In each court, there are specific things that he has done in his life and he will either be judged innocent or guilty.
The Three Guardians are:
Hae Won Maek (played by Joo Ji Hoon),
Gang Rim (played by Ha Jung Woo), and
Lee Deok Choon (played by Kim Hyang Gi).
They must attend each of his heavenly court trials, sort of as his team of defenders, and present proof that he has lived a virtuous life and therefore he should be reincarnated to live once again in the mortal realm. However, a problem has arisen that is making it difficult to prove his worth. It seems that his brother, Su Hong (played by Kim Dong Wook) has died a wrongful death, and has turned into a vengeful spirit. His brother's ghost is roaming around the earth venting his anger. Some of that anger is directed at Kim Ja Hong. He and his brother need to resolve their difference and reconcile with each other, so the trials can be completed.
Of course, since Kim Ja Hong is dead and no longer on the earth, it might be hard to get in touch with his brother's spirit which has not left the earth. No worries. The guardians will find a way to bridge the two worlds.
Finland Papa is a K-drama Viki Original series that is an unusual story of love and healing. Just 6 episodes; released in 2023.
Finland Papa centers around the life of a young woman grieving the loss of her grandmother. In the first episode of this very short series, we meet Yu Ri (played by Kim Bo Ra). She is wearing the traditional black hanbok dress and standing alone in front of her grandmother's memorial. You can immediately feel her grief, pain and sorrow. Not only has she lost her grandmother, but her father had also tragically passed away. They were her only family. Now she is left in the world all alone. How will she carry on?
Her childhood friend encourages her to apply for a job at a restaurant called Finland Papa. According to the job ad, the applicant will be required to eat dinner with the staff. Yu Ri goes for the job interview and SHE'S HIRED!
There is something delightfully wonderful, yet mysterious and strange about the restaurant, such as:.
None of the employees know who “Papa” is. They have never met the owner of the restaurant. But he gave 10 rules they must follow or they will lose their jobs.
One of those rules is: If one of the employees has a problem or something that's bothering them, all of the other employees must stop what they're doing and listen.
Beware of a wolf in sheep's clothing. Narco-Saints is a Netflix series released September 2022, and based on the true story based on the true story of a drug lord named Jo Bong-haeing. This criminal creep is definitely not the hero of the story. The hero is an honest businessman from South Korea who traveled to Suriname to set up an honest exporting business with his dear friend.
Kang In-gu (played by Ha Jung-woo) is the business andPastor Jeon Yo-hwan (played by Hwang Jung-min). is the wolf in sheep's clothing; a drug lord pretending to be a servant of the Lord.
Kamg In-gu'ss friend is brutally murdered and he gets falsely accused and thrown into prison for drug smuggling. While in prison he is visited by someone from the National Intelligence Service and is recruited to participate in a secret operation. The goal of the operation is to capture the drug lord who deceived him and murdered his friend. Uh oh! The wolf has grabbed a tiger by the tail. HE'S GOING DOWN!!
Business Proposal is a Netflix Series released in 2022.
What is the best way to avoid going on blind dates? There are two different answers to that question.
1) Get your friend to show up for the date in your place and have her put on an act that will make the blind date run away and never look back!
-OR-
2) Propose marriage to your blind date. For real?? No! Of course, it is not a real marriage proposal. But it is a real business proposal.
Shin Ha-ri (played by Kim Se-jeong) works as part of Go Food's Food Development Team One.
She not only comes up with great recipes but creative ideas of how to turn the company's food products into best sellers. Her parents run a restaurant that sells great fried chicken. Her family, which also includes a younger brother, is not rich but they live comfortably and are happy. Her BFF (best friend forever) is Jin Young-seo.
Jin Young-seo hates the idea of arranged marriages and wants to marry for love. The problem is she keeps getting set up to go on blind dates to meet her “future husband”. But it's not really a “problem” because she has found the perfect way to get out of going on these dates. She sends her BFF instead.
Kang Tae-moo (played by Ahn Hyo-seop) is the president of Go Food.
He did not work his way up the corporate ladder. His grandfather put him in charge. But nobody can accuse him of not doing his job. He runs the business operations successfully, not just in South Korea, but in foreign markets as well.
Kang Tae-moo's grandfather wants him to marry so that hopefully he will see his grandchild before he departs this life. But Tae-moo has “issues” and does his best to avoid marriage. Kang Tae-moo's grandfather orders him to go on blind dates until he finds the woman who will become his mate for life. OR ELSE!!
Shin Ha-ri shows up pretending to be Young-seo, not realizing that the blind date is HER BOSS! Shin Ha-ri does everything she can to discourage him and make him dislike her, not realizing that Tae-moo didn't want to be on the date either.
Tae-moo thinks her behavior is strange but he is distracted by his own thoughts. He's thinking of how to avoid the remaining blind dates his grandfather set up for him. He comes up with the perfect way to get out of going on these dates. He proposes marriage to Shin Ha-ri.
WHAT???!!!!
No worries. It's not a marriage proposal. It's a business proposal.
Shin Ha-ri signs a contract pretending to be his future wife. She goes FROM pretending for her best friend TO pretending for her best friend's blind date. That way Kang Tae-moo's grandfather can stop pestering him and he can keep being married to his work.
Why do the best-laid plans always seem to backfire?
On this list my favorite actress is Number 10. Kim Yoo Jung.
She has been acting since she was a child and I like to call her the “Korean Shirley Temple” because her acting skills, even from when she was a little girl was impressive. No surprise she has grown up in the business and they still offer her parts. I have seen her in many series and movies and even when she played a support role or a small part, I still liked her. She comes across as being a beautiful person, both inside and out. Just to name a few of the roles that I remember her from:
* Tamra Island
* Dong Yi
* Iljimae
* Love in the Moonlight
* Moon Embracing the Sun
Most recently, she starred in A Viki Original Series, “Lovers of the Red Sky”. (I published a review on Read.Cash. )

popular historical webtoon about a manipulative lawyer who
orchestrates lawsuits and takes advantage of the victims but
accidentally gets hailed as a savior of the people, which leads him

High
School Seniors Earn Credits for College
It's
your last year of high school and the last thing that you're thinking
about is … FIGHTING ALIENS! And it's not a video game or anime. It's REAL!
For
about a year there have been some strange-looking spheres floating in
the skies. Were they dangerous? Did they pose a threat? Nobody
knew. Nothing ever happened. Well! According to the news that was
reported to the general public, nothing happened. The military knew
a different story but the higher-up officials who headed up defense
operations did not want to cause mass panic and hysteria.
Seongjin
High is a typical high school with a typical graduating senior class
of boys and girls. There's the girl that all the guys like, the
besties who always stick together, the nerds, the outcast, the class
clown, the bully, etc. One day the homeroom teacher for Grade 3 Class 2 announces that early admissions to college
or university have been canceled. Instead, the students will serve
in the military. No worries. Their service will be translated into
credits that will count toward their future education.
That announcement on that day changed their lives forever!!
Each
episode of Duty After School poses a new challenge for these kids to
overcome. The characters are very diverse and the differences in
personalities often cause clashes.
Some are selfish and immature,
and their fear makes them think only of themselves. They are not
team players but they will stick with the team because … it's safer
when you stick together.
Others prove to be brave and loyal and
emerge as leaders who can take charge when serious decisions must be
made. They will make a sacrifice for the team if they have to.
Fortunately for all of them, Platoon Leader Lee Choon-Ho (played by Shin Hyun-Soo) is an excellent role model.
Viki
viewers gave Duty After School a rating of 9 out of 10 stars. I
agree.
Scriptwriters for Delivery Man get A+++ for their creativity. A taxi service for ghosts? What an unusual storyline.
A
taxi service for ghosts? Seo Young Min (played by Yoon Chan Young),
is a cab driver who discovers that he can see and hear ghosts. These
wandering souls are unable to leave this world because when they
departed this life, they had some unfinished business. He starts a
service where he picks up these lingering souls, and helps them
finish what needs to be done so that they can be delivered into the
afterlife.
It
proves to be a profitable business endeavor. Only …? His first
ghost passenger is Kang Ji Hyun (played by Minah). Her problem is
not so easy to solve because she has no memory of who she is and why
she ended up in his taxi cab. But she does prove to be a valuable
assistant and with her help, Seo Young Min can help his other ghost
passengers pass on to the next world.
This
series was released in 2023 and is only 12 episodes. Viki viewers
rated it 9.3 out of 10 stars.
