since we are on the topic of #LoveMyself , i thought i'll share some of my favourite healing kdramas! as you know from my previous post , watching my favorite television shows is an activity i engage in for my own well-being and kdramas are one of those on which I am frequently current! however, with so many kdramas being released on a regular basis, it can be difficult to watch them all. hence, i've compiled a list of some of my personal favorites, focusing on kdramas that make me think about life and don't have too many plot twists โบ๏ธ
โ HOSPITAL PLAYLIST (SEASON 1 & 2) ๐
genre: slice of life, medical
synopsis: the series revolves around the lives of 5 doctors at a hospital who have known each other since medical school! throughout the series, you'll see them navigate various aspects of life, such as medicine, music, and relationships.
watch on ๐บ: netflix
what i like ๐๐ป
๐จโโ๏ธ: rather than your plain basic medical kdrama, this kdrama here explores both the medical and human aspects of working in a hospital!
๐ฅฐ: the portrayal of adult friendships !!! the fact that all of them would make time to hang out regularly despite how busy their lives are is so admirable and it makes me wonder if that would be the case for me when i reach that age
๐คฉ: the ensemble cast !! the kdrama explores a wide range of characters and i love how in each episode, im introduced to different characters and also familiar faces that are crucial to the plot
๐ง: ost lineup solid !!! the best and interesting part about this is the main 5 leads really took the time to learn how to play the intrsuments and perform them in the episodes as well as in the ost
what i don't like ๐๐ป
๐คง: it might be hard to understand the flow of the kdrama at first if you're not familiar with pd shin wonho's shows but it gets easier after season 1 ep 3 !!
๐ซค: some parts of the plots felt rushed into the finale, like there wasn't an opportunity to explore better ways of resolving conflicts (espeically evident in season 2)
rewatch value ๐ค: if you want a wholesome kdrama that centers around friendship, family and life
โ RUN ON ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
genre: romance, slice of life
synopsis: the plot revolves around two people with very different lives, one of whom is a professional athlete and the other a film translator. you'll see how the two people cross paths and navigate the complexities of life in this series.
watch on ๐บ: netflix
what i like ๐๐ป
๐ซถ๐ป: it portrays a very healthy relationship between the 2 main characters, something i find very rare in
๐ฎ: a very unique and charming yet realistic plot -> you can expect yourself to find many meaningful and relatable dialogues that speaks to you ๐๐ป
๐คฉ: the cast acting and chemistry is amazing, barely any awkward moments that makes me ๐คจ
๐ง: very nice cinematography & ost lineup !!! definitely recommend you to listen to run to you by lucy
what i don't like ๐๐ป
๐ซค: as the plot progresses quite slowly, some parts to me feels quite draining and i would skip through it briefly
rewatch value ๐ค: if u want something light heated yet filled with lots of life lessons, especially the ones that motivates you to live life the way you want it to be
โ TOUCH YOUR HEART ๐
touch your heart
genre: romantic comedy
synopsis: the plot revolves around a celebrity who works as a secretary at a law firm in order to prepare for a future role and recover from a scandal. this experience will allow you to witness the development of not only the celebrity, but also the people around her at the law firm.
watch on ๐บ: netflix & viu
what i like ๐๐ป
๐คฃ: the plot is very true to its genre! be ready to laugh out loud throughout this series
๐จโโ๏ธ: don't be daunted by the law firm setting, you don't have to understand law terms to watch this kdrama !!
๐: again another kdrama that portrays a healthy relationship
๐๐ป: the cast acting and chemistry !!! without them, the kdrama wouldn't have been successful in portraying such a comedic yet heartwarming story
๐ง: the ost perfectly embodies the kdrama -> definitely recommend you to listen to red velvet wendy's what if love and 1415's photographs
what i don't like ๐๐ป
๐ซก: many predictable moments -> you probably could even guess the kdrama's ending without watching it
๐: some of the conflicts discussed in the kdrama were resolved very quickly without exploring the causes -> not really a major issue to me since the main point of the kdrama is the characters, their relationships and lives
rewatch value ๐ค: if you want something light hearted with lots of funny and romantic moments
โ YUMI CELLS (SEASON 1 & 2)๐ก
genre: slice of life, romantic
synopsis: the plot revolves around an ordinary women as seen through the eyes of her brain cells. these cells direct her every thought, feeling, and action, ultimately assisting her in navigating daily life.
watch on ๐บ: iqiyi and bilibili tv
what i like ๐๐ป
๐ค: THE CELLS ANIMATION !!! not only is it effective in capturing the main character's inner thoughts but it also adds another layer of interpretation for the causes of her actions
๐: again, another unique plot that's very simple yet comforting and relatable in our daily lives
๐๐ป: the cast acting and chemistry !!! the main leads especially, they were so convincing and engrossed in their emotions and i found myself emotionally attached to them ๐ญ
๐ง: ost lineup is pretty solid ๐ง -> definitely recommend you to listen to nct 127 doyoung's like a star (season 1) and got7 jinyoung's shining on your night
what i don't like ๐๐ป
๐คจ: some parts of the plots can be draggy and unnecessary (espeically evident in season 2) + occasionally questionable because i couldnt understand what kind of direction the writer is heading towards for these characters
rewatch value ๐ค: if you want a fresh way to approach a kdrama and something light hearted yet realistic but not too harsh
there's a lot to unpack here but i hope y'all enjoy the in-depth review! do let me know if any of these kdramas are your favourites and if not, which are your favourites ๐
