So I’m feeling in the mood for a throwback drama – something not too serious with some nostalgia. Thinking Boys Over Flowers, Master’s Sun or Delightful Girl Chun-hyang… any suggestions?
Good god. You’re scaring me! I heard it was a Park Bo Young drama so I put it on my list for later. Why’s it been blacklisted?? (No spoilers, in case I do watch it 😁)
I second this. I couldn’t finish the first episode of both dramas. Brilliant acting alone can’t save the whole sinking ship of bad script writing and odd choice of directing. If you love PBY, her Strong Woman Do Bong-Soon or Oh My Ghost are both amazing choices. For JCW, Healer through and through is my all time favorite of him. My hear beats fast just think about all the squeal-worthing moments of Healer <3 <3 <3
“I’m Not A Robot” 🙂
All the other ones have some sort of “noble” idiocy wrapped into it at some point–whereas INAR does have it, too, but is resolved so much faster and smarter– and is plenty cute to boot ~!!!
You know, I actually haven’t watched that one! I know it’s a classic old time drama and I’d planned to watch it at some point but I refrained because I wasn’t sure if it was the right time (also I’ve seen so many cold male leads that I’m not in the mood for another one). Definitely going to consider starting it now though!
Haha the cold lead is cold but I still love him because of his vulnerable sides. Even if you’re not a fan of him at first, don’t worry, Goong is filled with meme-worthy scenes of the female lead so you’ll be entertained most of the time. Also, I can’t say enough how much I love the OSTs and instrumental bg of Goong, they’re just amazingly unique and carry a substantial role in weaving overall emotions. Highly recommended!
Also if you’re already watched Boys Over Flowers you might try the Japanese version instead – Hana Yori Dango – it has a better heroine and all of the other actors are good.
Watched every possible version of it by now I think! My favourite is probably the old Meteor Garden – cast resonates with you somehow. Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll check them out.

The other option is to start a new drama that I have no clue about, possibly Abyss.

No to Abyss. No. No.
As to the others on your list…..Master’s Sun maybe?

Definitely NOT Abyss. Anything but Abyss.

It’s hard to describe without spoiling. What happened is not because of Park Bo Young, of course. Girl just has to pick better drama.
If Melty is the worst of 2019, Abyss is a close second. Let’s leave it at that. Maybe you have to watch this to know for sure. 😋

Seen it! Lovely drama (big fan of Chae Soo Bin) but the last episode left me super annoyed (plot lines left unclosed etc).

I’m recommending Goong. The prop design and setup is timelessly gorgeous with enough nostalgia of 2000s KDrama.

How about City Hall or Da Ja’s Spring.
