Top Five (5) Korean Dramas That Are Old But Gold

Top Five (5) Korean Dramas That Are Old But Gold

There are many Korean dramas, movies, and TV shows, that are “old but gold”. Below is my list of the top five (5) K-dramas that were released one or two decades ago; i.e. 2010 and the years before. But before you scan my list, let me share a little background info. When Did Korean Dramas Come to the USA? The first Kdrama TV series was aired by KBS (Korean Broadcasting System) in the 1960s. Korean dramas started becoming popular in the USA beginning in Y2K (the year 2000). However, their popularity really picked up by the year 2010. The K-drama series that got me hooked was Tamra Island (2009) because … ??? It was on Netflix. But back then the Netflix streaming platform did not have a lot to offer, so I watched the series several times because … ??? There was nothing else! When I became desperate to find more Korean movies and TV shows, I stumbled upon Rakuten Viki, an American video streaming platform that labels itself as

John Cena and J.K. Simmons are set to reprise their roles as Peacemaker and Omni-Man in Mortal Kombat 1. Just a month ago, Peacemaker, Omni-Man, and Homelander were announced as guest DLC characters for Mortal Kombat 1, joining returning favorites like Quan Chi, Ermac, and Takeda. In Mortal Kombat 11, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger lent their likenesses during their prime to portray the Terminator and Rambo. While these DLCs were well-received and popular in tournaments, they were not voiced by the actors who provided their likenesses. Peacemaker and Omniman in Kombat pack one   This time, however, J.K. Simmons, known for his role as Omni-Man in Invincible, will be lending his voice to his iconic supervillain character from the controversial Amazon Prime animated series. John Cena, originally playing Homelander in the Suicide Squad film, gained immense popularity and even secured his own TV series, which has been renewed for a second season. This unexpected success has led some to view Cena’s DC comic run as surpassing Dwayne Johnson’s portrayal

One Piece deserves your attention. In only 10 days, get ready to catch the One Piece live-action series on Netflix.  Fans are kind of split on this. Some don’t really like it ’cause it doesn’t match their own vision of what One Piece is. Others are loving it for how it looks—props, visuals, and all that hard work. Now, whether it becomes a hit or a miss depends on how we all feel about it. And let’s be honest, this show cost a bunch to make. So, it needs to be a big hit to make it worth the cash. Speaking of hits, Netflix doesn’t just want good ratings for big budget shows, like this one. Nope, they want numbers that match up to what shows like Stranger Things get. So, fingers crossed that this show hits the mark, ’cause it’s been quite the investment. By the way, big-budget Netflix shows usually don’t last too long. They often get canceled after just a season or two. Positive reviews means nothing

Sell Your Haunted House | Korean Drama | Not for Halloween

Sell Your Haunted House | Korean Drama | Not for Halloween

, , , , , , , 4

Sell Your Haunted House is a Korean drama TV series, released in 2021. Any time I see the word “haunted” I automatically think “Halloween”. That’s the holiday when people typically look for entertainment that is scary or spooky. But there was nothing scary or spooky about Sell Your Haunted House. That’s probably why this series is categorized as a comedy, instead of a horror. ** Why Sell Your Haunted House Ended Up on My Watch List Jung Yong-hwa first caught my attention when he played Park Dal-hyang, the 4th swordsman in the Korean version of the Three Musketeers (2014). This actor caught my attention again when he acted as a brain doctor in the 2023 TV series Brain Works. I enjoyed his performances so much that I searched for more series or movies where he had a leading role. Sell Your Haunted House ended up on my watch list because the main character, Oh In-beom, is played by Jung Yong-hwa. Jung Yong-hwa has been acting in K-dramas since 2009 and

Live Up to Your Name is a Korean drama series, released in 2017. Medical and time travel are very popular themes in K-dramas. The scriptwriters for this series effectively combined both themes and created a very believable unbelievable story. Soompi.com describes it as a modern and historical mash-up. I describe it as a romance/time travel/medical/historical period drama. Even though Live Up to Your Name is 5+ years old, as of February 2023, fans are still hoping for a Season 2. They are even willing to wait until the summer of 2024, as long as the original cast returns. Wow! That’s loyalty. The Surgeon Meets the Quack The two main characters who ultimately fall in love, are Heo Im (played by Kim Nam-Gil) and Choi Yeon-Kyung (played by Kim A-Joong). They are both highly skilled medical professionals and considered “the best” in their fields. Choi Yeon-Kyung is a female doctor in modern-day South Korea, and her specialty is heart surgery. Heo Im is an acupuncturist from Joseon, and his character is

Explain the Levels and Why a Team of Grim Repears is Necessary The first question is: Why do you need a team of grim reapers anyway? The answer is: Because there are some evil spirits who don’t want to go to their Final Destination. These evil spirits or demons roam the earth here and there and hop from body to body. Each time they find a new host body, they grow stronger. They advance in levels. Level 1 and Level 2 are usually easy to catch and may not
