Thread of Korean Piff (Series')

[tofuspeedstar]

I'm running out breh!

I'm eyeing Misaeng and Life right now. And if you haven't got to it yet you should try My Mister, it's depressing though bouquet of Ls for many in the cast.

Misaeng is kind of slow. It's like off-beat funny though. I liked it a lot.

Life is good.


I am once again plugging Start Up for y'all in here again. It is easily taking my spot for the #1 series of 2020 and we're only 10 episodes in.

Edit: Just noticed you said My Mister. I'm on episode 2 and like it a lot so far!

 

[tofuspeedstar]

So you really finna leave me hanging and make me watch:

The Good Detective
The Lies Within
Voice
The K2
Day & Night




I will take blame and admit I was the one to bring up Rugal, y’all really finna leave me up to my own devices?

@Chaval tell me something

@Roadie pipeher @KingDanz tell me something


@tofuspeedstar help!!!

K2 good

Voice is great, season 2 I've heard is amazing. Going to start it over Thanksgiving week.

Good Detective I'm actually starting tonight!

START UP!!!! I WILL KEEP PLUGGING IT TIL Y'ALL WATCH IT!!! haha

 

[tofuspeedstar]

Since most of us in here relying on Netflix, I'll drop my list of recommended ones, I'm into pretty much everything except like historical stuff, so I'll watch espionage and spy stuff, but have no problem watching some cheesy romance/slice of life:

The K2
Crash Landing On You
Start Up (Still Airing)
Itaewon Class
Cheese In The Trap
Hospital Playlist
IRIS
Last (About a rich dude that becomes homeless and ascends to the top of an underground hobo fight club)
Stranger (really good)
Misaeng (slow at first, off-beat humor)
Voice (haven't seen s2 yet but heard great things)
It's Okay Not to Be Okay (I'm on Ep. 12 thus far, but hooked)
Bad Guys (There's a bad guys 2 but the cast is different...)
Vagabond
Record of Youth (I'm on ep 5, but I like it so far)
Black
My Shy Boss
Revolutionary Love (hilarious, main female lead is the same as Misaeng and I think she's cute..so..yeah)
Life (REALLLLLY GOOD, like low key)
The Reply series are hilarious/slice of life as well, I liked 1994 the best. I haven't seen 1988 yet
Suits (Yes, there's a Korean version that crams all 9 seasons into 16 episodes, the efficiency!!!)
Inheritors (aka Heirs, it's the typical rich man, poor woman story but funny, they shot a chunk of it in So Cal)
Sound of Your Heart (funny, I didn't like the reboot though)
Designated Survivor (I enjoyed it a lot, low key)
Chief of Staff (Bad guy from Rugal is the main character here)
My Mister (really good!!!!!)
Prison Playbook (This one got slept on alot for some reason??? But really good)
Live
Extracurricular (stepson from Itaewon Class is the main lead here)


My friends have highly recommended Let's Eat/Let's Eat 2, haven't started those yet. I've been told to watch Mystic Pop Up Bar as well.
There's one that popped up recently called Graceful Friends i'm going to start over the weekend

Avoid:

Rugal
Bad Guys: Vile City (I mean you can try, I just don't like a reboot of a show and a totally different cast)
Hyena (I got like 3 episodes in and man, I couldn't finish...and I'm about to be an attorney myself LOL)
Boys Over Flowers ( I mean you can, I just thought the Japanese and Taiwanese versions were 100x better)


Haven't seen enough to form an opinion:

Argon (I'm on episode 2 I think and just stopped watching cause I got sucked into Watcher on Viki, but will pick up at somepoint)


Now if you're like me and have gone off the deep end and paid for a VIKI subscription (but it's still accessible even if you don't pay, just ads), I can drop that list as well later this evening.

Hope this helps somewhat brehs, I know a lot you guys have probably already seen, but figured I'd drop it anyways for those that may have just gotten into it. I also have seen plenty of shows from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Germany, Netherlands, etc. I watch just about anything international if it looks interesting.

Edit: As a baseline though, I think all of y'all should watch City Hunter:

Watch full episode of City Hunter | Korean Drama | Dramacool

You watch Greed of Man before? Greed of Man is probably the GOAT HK series if you can find it in good quality with English subs. Wai Ka Fai, frequent collaborator with Johnnie To directed that series. The opening sequence in the first episode is pure madness.

You'd be surprised how fast you get sucked in. 16 episodes can be knocked out in 2 days haha. Just depends on you. But I think most dramas do a great job of the cliffhanger to get you to watch the next episode.

I haven't, but I'll add it to my running list. I'm watching Line Walker at the moment via Drama Cool. Considering starting a whole ass spreadsheet to keep track of what I've watched and my thoughts on it. I finished OCTB a few weeks ago because I'm a big Jordan Chan fan, so anything he's in...I'll watch.

Same habit with K dramas too, if there's an actor/actress I like, I'll pretty much watch everything with them in it.

Man they do.

So many times I be trynna go to bed or go about my day..... but then watching these shows...... they end with some crazy cliffhangers that I look at my clock and be like “maybe I should watch one more ep”

Was very guilty of this all throughout college and law school. Even today I do it even if I have a 7am meeting or some shyt.

You'll also eat a lot more Subway after watching enough of them

Line Walker 3 just came out btw.

Check out E.U. and Lives of Omission from TVB. I liked those better than the Line Walker series.

Yep! I'm on S2 of LW rn. Good stuff. For whatever reason the whole gang/triad culture of Hong Kong is very interesting to me, so anything related to it, I will usually watch. I've gone down the rabbit hole of all the big HK gangster movies and loved all of them (even own a handful of them on DVD/Blu Ray)

I have heard fantastic things about Lives of Omission!!! Good to get another backer for it.

I ran through Arthdal Chronicles like that. 18 episodes of bronze age fukkery all of them movie sized.

You should try My Country: The New Age
