You found us! Welcome to our tiny community! Yea this one was apparently created 2 years ago? Doesn’t look like it’s on lemmy, probably on kbin. I’m still on both reddit and here (oh and discord too, keep forgetting I’m also there!) because my 3rd party app still works, but probably not for long.
Feel free to post any drama related posts here! The goal is to get people talking so our community can grow (so we can go back to lurking lol).
I wanna come here often! However, my lemmy instance (lemmy.world) and/or client (Connect) is laggy and buggy at the moment. I can’t see replies to my comments and it takes minutes for a comment to be submitted. I’m hoping that would be resolved in a few weeks after the mass migration from reddit.
From what I gathered, World is struggling from the massive influx of users and has been lagging badly on my end too. Bigger is not always better it seems on the fediverse. I signed up to another smaller instance and things were much snappier there. I just don’t know how to migrate all of my subbed communities over.
Shin Ha Ri is a single woman who works for a company. She has a male friend, who she has had a crush on for a long time, but she learns he has a girlfriend. Shin Ha Ri feels sad and decides to meet her friend Jin Young Seo, who is a daughter of a chaebol family. Jin Young Seo then asks Shin Ha Ri to take her place on a blind date and even offers some money for her time. Shin Ha Ri accepts her friend’s offer. She goes out on a blind date as Jin Young Seo while having the intention of getting rejected by her date. When she sees her blind date, Shin Ha Ri is dumbfounded. Her blind date is Kang Tae Moo. He is the CEO of the company where she works.
Kang Tae Moo is the CEO of a company that his grandfather founded. One day, his grandfather informed him of an upcoming blind date that he set up for him. Kang Tae Moo is a workaholic, and he is annoyed that his grandfather sets up blind dates for him. He decides to marry the next woman whom he meets on a blind date, so he won’t be disturbed from his work anymore. That woman is Shin Ha Ri, but she is pretending to be Jin Young Seo.
On the following day, Shin Ha Ri receives a phone call from Kang Tae Moo. He asks her to marry him.

Hello! I was hoping we could move over to lemmy.ml’s kdrama community to combine our users. But it looks like we’re all still quite comfortable over here somehow lol.
I’m watching both too, but enjoying 19th Life a bit more. I do think KTL feels easier to watch, and loved seeing the prince’s character and those other drama references lol.
I shouldn't have started See you in my 19th life before it finished airing, so I'm refraining myself from starting King the land to avoid the same anguish when I'm not able to binge watch it.
I wish I have your wisdom before I started both. They are both about hotel chaebols and have some sort of mystery involving their mothers. I forget which chaebol has what specific trauma/incident sometimes. But yea maybe that’s just me lol
Holy shit I paused the episode (ep 7) to come here and squeal but SPOILERS!!!
when he ‘pecked’ her and she tiptoed up to reach him, grabbed his face and said ‘this is a proper kiss’ i SWOOOOOONED, like holy hell and wow what a kiss for a kdrama (i know the kisses have vastly upgraded since the fish mouth and stay still for 1 sec) but wow you could see tongue in that kiss. jieum has such a strong character and by god is that sexy as hell
Edit: no wonder the pace is so fast, it’s only 12 episodes! I thought it was the usual 16 and was wondering why things were progressing so fast between our main leads
I KNOW RIGHT!!! Shin Hye Sun never disappoints, including her kisses!! I’m still remembering the ones in Mr Queen. Ah~~
I can’t wait to see Driver Ha and Chowon’s kisses next! His gaze for her has been so intense that I feel I should look away sometimes. If that’s an indication how their kisses will be like, then oof… I will need a cold shower!
Eps 7 and 8 are really one revelation after another! Can’t believe we’re more than halfway there already, and that this drama will end next week! Sobs
This is the first thing I’ve seen her in so I had no expectations or preconceptions about her but when I first started the drama I didn’t think she was that attractive but I’ve eaten my words multiple times over already.
😭😭 This drama should’ve been 14 episodes at the least, they’ve cut out so much from the webtoon. I’d rather king the Land be the one with 12 episodes than this show. I find this show much stronger than king the land
Hahah to be fair, I also thought the makeup/styling could’ve gone better for her in this drama. She was beautiful in the other dramas I’ve seen of her.
Yea I thought this was the 16 episodes drama and King The Land was 12 for the first couple weeks, then realised it’s the opposite. The reaction I’ve seen so far has been that this drama started off strong but it stagnated soon after. On the other hand, KTL keeps a good pacing and has good star power. I still like this drama better than KTL, but can understand why people loves KTL more.
I recently got a Viki account to watch Reborn Rich and What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim. Finished them a couple of weeks ago. Now I’m watching See you In My 19th Life and Hotel del Luna in between new episodes.
Yes, i got a viki account a few months ago too, when i noticed how many good series there were, that did not show up on netflix, or only much later. What you mention, all those are on my watch list. Except Hotel del Luna, which i already watched twice.
I got Viki just to watch Reborn Rich, but then I added about 8 other shows to my watchlist, Taxi Driver 1/2, Goblin, Healer, The Second Husband (150 episodes!), etc. Looks like I will be keeping the subscription for awhile.
Awww I keep tearing up seeing the sisters’ interaction in the past! They’re just so adorable together!
I’m also wondering why the shaman people only appeared now in her 19th life. She has reincarnated so many times before, and pretty sure it’s not the first time she approached people from her previous lives (we even had flashback of that child who approached his previous mum I think). So why now? Is it because people in this life actually believed her, therefore something bad will happen to them?
I’m still watching ep 6 but just want to get this out here first.
When he was a little boy, he ran up to his former mother and called her mom. He didn’t say he was reincarnated and the mom just thought he was crazy and had him thrown out.
Didn’t the shaman say that Ji-Eum’s revelation to her sister would cause problems?
And who’s Han-Na, the singer with short hair and friend of the shaman? She recognized Ji-Eum as Joo-Won when they were crossing the street and said she grew up well. When she walked past the portraits in MI Hotel, she was looking at the one of Bo-Young.
Oh you’re right! I didn’t realise he only called up to her.
Before I watched the latest 2 eps, I thought Hanna (the singer/dancer) was also another shaman. Like there was a group of them roaming about to warn/catch those reincarnated people to keep them in line or something. But yea, that was way off! Lol
We know now who Hanna was, but from the flashbacks Min Gi looks to be someone from her past as well.
My guess, he was someone who was in love with her but she was in love with the past Seoha as well. Then she died, maybe related to Seoha, and Min Gi somehow had/has the power to keep them both reincarnated and remembering their pasts in the hope that they rekindle their relationship in the next live. But Jowon/Ji Eun kept going back to Seoha. I don’t know how Seoha’s mum got to do with this though.
You’ve read the webtoon. Has the story in the drama changed much from the webtoon?
I'm really enjoying King the Land. I'm 2 episodes into See you in my 19th Life. I like both the lead actors but the pacing feels weird, so I might drop it.
And now another subscriber :-) A bit late to the party; i have been doing searches for kdrama instances, but nothing popped up until the lemmy update. Glad to have found one now. There is another one too, but it only has one post: !kdrama, i think on lemmy.world
Welcome! There are 4 of us now! Yea the one on chirp.social is the only kdrama community I found, but there was no post before this. I’m still trying out different lemmy apps on Android, but for some reason this one appears as !kdrama as well. Is it because that’s my instance (lemmy.world) and I created the first post? Anyway, this is still pretty new to me so will have to find out more.
How’s Again, My Life? That’s the one with Lee Joon Ki, right?
I think many people have multiple lemmy apps on android, i’m no exception. But i found it through lemmy’s website. Now lemmy has updated, the search function seems to work better.
Political dramas are something i avoid if american. But somehow, kdramas make it interesting. This one has the tiniest little fantasy premise (hence the title). So, i’m currently watching the final episode, yes with Lee Joon Ki, and i’m on the edge of my seat. I also love the cast. A few months ago i took a subscription for Viki rakuten, because i can’t get enough of kdramas. I also fell in love with the language.
I’m drawn to the language as well. Seems a lot more efficient compared to English. Yea Viki seems to have a good selection of kdramas. What sort of dramas do you normally watch?
I’m currently following 3 on-air dramas: See You in My 19th Life, King The Land, and Numbers. I’m loving 19th Life, kinda okay with King, and losing interest with Numbers.
I actually like a lot of different genres; i often like fantasy dramas, like a korean odyssey; hotel del luna and such. But also more criminal/serial killer series, like come and hug me; signal; through the darkness. Zombie series, like Kingdom and zombie detective. I do like romance, but i really dislike the display of weak women. I have to be honest, i do have some criticisms regarding kdrama too, for instance the alcohol culture, dragging drunk women around on someone’s back, or dead fish kisses. I’m also not a fan of misunderstandings that drag along, while they could have just talked to each other and it would have been solved. I’m not sure it’s all about genres that attract me. I think i partly decide to watch when i see certain actors and actresses in the cast. Or when people recommend certain kdramas - that’s what i liked on reddit; r/kdramarecommends was a great source and i’m hoping we can do this here too.
Sounds like we have similar approach to our drama selection, though mine is really more depending on my mood at the time of choosing. I do gravitate more towards action/crime dramas and less towards sageuk, but as long as the story looks interesting I’d watch. Oh and definitely no makjang for me. Tried a few episodes of Penthouse and World of The Married, yea nah.
Oof it will take much longer for us to reach the levels of those two subs, especially with the lack of userbase here. I did see some lemmings who sail the high seas asking about places to watch or get some kdramas, so I think there is some interest.
