I often steer clear of OCN dramas, as they usually lean towards darker and more intense content. But when one of my favorite actors was cast in the new webtoon adaptation of Rugal, I decided to make an exception. This show is definitely a far cry from my usual rom-com drama fare. Join Kmuse and I to see if this gritty, action thriller will find a regular spot on our watchlists.

I’m here! Yes, I know I’m a little late, but I’m super excited to have started Kdrama-land’s newest addition to the A.I. romance genre.

My fellow drama fans, after what seems like forever, Park Seo Joon is finally back on our small screens – YEAY!! And if you haven’t given his new web-toon based drama a try yet, just know you are missing out! Itaewon Class started out by making me nostalgic for the internationally diverse streets of Itaewon. But it was the roller coaster ride of emotions during the first two hours that has me moving this drama up to the top of my weekly-airing watchlist!

We here at Dramas With a Side of Kimchi usually give new shows the good ol’ two-episode/two-hour try when trying to decide if a freshly premiered drama is one we want to pursue. However, I felt I had to make an exception for the MBC drama Love With Flaws. I thought the premise sounded promising. BUT initially, I found myself getting hung up on a certain plot device. Join Karie the Maknae and I to see whether this new Kdrama made the cut for us!

It’s another South Korean serial-killer drama! (How there can be SO many variations of this one specific storyline??) I already have a show of this type on my drama plate and I was NOT going to be tempted into starting another. But, Yoon Shi Yoon had other plans for me, LOL! Positive commentary from my fellow K-bestie, coupled with some giggle-worthy screencaps on Twitter and my resolve totally crumbled! Keep reading to see if you should check out Psychopath Diary too.

I have a confession – I made a rather rash and spur of the moment decision last week. I started a new C-drama without waiting for my fellow fangirls to tell me how it ended! Eeeek! I just recklessly pushed play. And then I KEPT pushing play. And now, 10 episodes later, here I am fangirling alongside Clkytta over this drama! Join us as we share why you should be watching this wonderfully, fluffy frivolousness too!
