2025 Promising Korean Dramas

  I thought that it would be fun to predict the best TV shows of the year. Then when 2025 comes to an end, we can come back to this post and see if these shows really turned out to be good. 

  Below are the shows I have high expectations for.


1. <마녀> The Witch



2. <하이퍼 나이프> Hyper Knife


3. <나인 퍼즐> Nine Puzzles


4. <북극성> Tempest


5. <다 이루어질지니> All The Love You Wish For


6. <폭싹 속았수다> When Life Gives You Tangerines

<멋진 하루> 'My Dear Enemy' Movie Review

Image
    As a big fan of actress Jeon Do-yeon, I've always wanted to watch this movie, since she acknowledged this one as her favorite film she appeared in. I wondered why, since this film isn't as famous as her other movies like <Secret Sunshine> and <The Housemaid>. But after finally seeing <My Dear Enemy>, it actually became my favorite as well!   The title of this movie made me feel confused before seeing the movie. The Korean title is <Great Day>, whereas the English title is <My Dear Enemy>. I wondered, did they really have make the title so different? But after seeing the movie, those two titles actually felt similar. They give off a certain vibe, and I figured that maybe the director wanted to preserve that vibe in two ways. After all, I noticed, 'great' and 'dear' are not so different.   The movie stars two top star actors; Jeon Do-yeon and Ha Jung-woo. Without them, the movie might have been a complete fiasco. Because their act...

<고양이를 부탁해> 'Take Care of My Cat' Movie Review

           If I were to choose only one Korean movie, I would choose this one, <Take Care of My Cat>(2001). It is the most special to me. Thanks to this movie, I got to experience personally life-changing events that I will surely cherish for my entire life.    In 2021, the movie reopened in theaters after a 4K remastering. As a big fan of actress Bae Doona, I went to the movies. And what I witnessed was something odd. To begin with, the story was odd. There was no romance, no thrill, no comedy, no pity in it. It was a first. The music was odd, too. Feeling doubtful about what I just watched for 2 hours, not knowing what should have been felt from it, I remember walking out of the theatre dumbfounded.    Then by chance, I got to watch <Take Care of My Cat> again. And I wasn't dumbfounded at all this time; I was dumbstruck. Because the movie mesmerized me. Enchanted me. It was truly a magical moment. I had a realization that m...

<트렁크> 'The Trunk' Drama Review

Image
  A mystery romance series on Netflix, the show is based on a book of the same title. The chemistry of actors Gong Yoo and Seo Hyun-Jin gathered great attention for a long time. My expectations for the show were also high. And it exceeded my expectations wonderfully.   In-Ji works at a marriage company where they provide rich clients with temporary marriage. She has been married for four times, and this marriage with Jung-Won will be her fifth one. In-Ji has always believed that this unique job suits her, but now she isn't sure as she grows feelings for Jung-Won. Jung-Won seems like a mysterious man, and In-Ji is eager to do anything for his happiness, just as any wife should. Since that's what she is paid for. But what happens when Jung-Won uncovers her own secrets? What if he falls for her, too? It's against the rules. But this time, the rules don't matter.   Combining mystery with romance is common, yet difficult to achieve successfully. And yet, the show perfectly...
