Ronsboy67<p>Drama Recs Challenge Day 17<br>Lots of "enemies to lovers" are really "frenemies to lovers" like <a href="https://mas.to/tags/KDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDrama</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/MyDearestNemesis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyDearestNemesis</span></a> but not <a href="https://mas.to/tags/CapitalScandal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CapitalScandal</span></a> - it doesn't get much less frenemy than freedom fighter, Japanese lackey.. <br>It is my favourite Han Ji Min Drama, but also has THE BEST , totally 1000% platonic, ML-2FL relationship I've seen.

I’m currently watching <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/TheTaleOfLadyOk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheTaleOfLadyOk</span></a>, which I believe you recommended. Sadly, since I’m watching it on Korean Netflix, my only choice of subtitles is Korean. Needless to say, I’m missing a lot of the details but the acting and production are excellent. <br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/kdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kdrama</span></a></p>
hanktank61<p>Fully into A Korean Odyssey.</p><p>Now I realize coming out of one rabbit hole diving into another one immediately is not the thing to do.

Ronsboy67<p>Reading on MDL of an actor who was "belatedly revealed" to have a private life put me in mind of a fun question</p><p>She was the female lead in a <a href="https://mas.to/tags/KDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDrama</span></a> whose ACTUAL name was "My Beautiful Bride", but to this day I still think of it as "My Beautiful Banker", for reasons the MV makes clear 😀 So, here's the question for <a href="https://mas.to/tags/KDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDrama</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/CDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CDrama</span></a> viewers: Do you have any pet or pejorative nicknames for Dramas that have become so ingrained you think of the Drama by that name? <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGf6Y4cWor4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=AGf6Y4cWor</span><span class="invisible">4</span></a></p>
Ronsboy67<p>Drama Recs Challenge Day 16</p><p>I thought of 2 French books for <a href="https://mas.to/tags/DramaRecsChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DramaRecsChallenge</span></a> 16. Both books have had a very visible impact on <a href="https://mas.to/tags/KDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDrama</span></a> &amp; <a href="https://mas.to/tags/JDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JDrama</span></a> I've seen. 1 is 'petit', 1 is VERY big. </p><p>I chose the BIG one, in Robin Buss's translation. It is perhaps somewhat ironic that I'm more likely to prefer a Drama built around Le Petit Prince than one inspired by (Edmond) Dantes' inferno. 😀</p>
commonst<p>The worst part of the deadlines at work dragging out is that I am losing precious hours of <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/kdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kdrama</span></a> viewing. This is affecting my mental health more than I feel comfortable admitting to.</p><p>I am managing to watch <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/TheSecretRoyalInspectorAndJoy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheSecretRoyalInspectorAndJoy</span></a> in snatched snippets here and there, so that is taking a lot longer than usual. Taecyeon comedy ftw, but I wish I could get time on my own right now to watch a whole episode at once.</p>

I have watched very few k-dramas without Kopiko in them.

Ronsboy67<p>Drama Recs Challenge Day 15</p><p>Another swerve from my bsky pick here. This is a <a href="https://mas.to/tags/KDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDrama</span></a> I *NEARLY* used there, but the character limit too short there. This was not marketed or promoted as gay/GL, since the 2 FLs were mentor/mentee &amp; Regent/rival really. BUT their chem was (imo) HOT, to the extent that the ML, the nominal 'love interest' felt like nothing so much as an intrusive 3rd wheel. I had little interest in him and resented his taking screen time from the pair that mattered😀 <a href="https://mas.to/tags/WhiteNights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteNights</span></a></p>
