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.
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.
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.
