“ Extracurricular” revolves around Ji-soo’s (Kim Dong-hee) unique and dangerous extracurricular activity. If a sweet story with some dark twists and hilarious comic relief sounds great to you, I would recommend watching “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim?” because it has all of this and more. After Mi-so searches for the elusive man from a traumatic experience from her childhood, she and Young-joon realize their mutual feelings and help each other heal from their past.Īlthough Young-joon is a narcissist, and Mi-so is a complete workaholic, these two characters are quite lovable and made a wonderful story. Mi-so tells him she’s going to resign after working for nine years, because she wants to settle down and live her life a little bit, but Young-joon decides to thwart her efforts. He relies on his secretary, Kim Mi-so (Park Min-young), for everything: choosing his ties in the morning, firing incompetent employees, buying flowers for his publicity girlfriends, and more. In this K-drama, Park Seo-joon stars as Lee Young-joon, the vice-chairman of his father’s corporation.
I would recommend “Vincenzo” to anyone looking for a fantastic thriller with comedy, action, and, most importantly, pigeons.
Wanting to help Hong Yoo-chan and his daughter (Jeon Yeo-been) so that he can access the gold underneath the plaza, Vincenzo joins their law firm to fight Jang Han-seok (Ok Taec-yeon), the secret chairman of Babel Group.įrom the witty social distancing basil line to the incredible, action-packed arson scenes, “Vincenzo” is an amazing series with a satisfying ending, elaborate plot, and very complex characters. His intentions change when he runs into Hong Yoo-chan (Yoo Jae-myung), a public defender living in Geumga Plaza and fighting Babel Group, a conglomerate that can only be described as evil. This K-drama is about a consigliere for the Italian Mafia named Vincenzo Cassano (Song Joong-ki), who returns to South Korea in search of gold belonging to his former boss. If you’re looking for a historical K-drama with an exciting plot, major twists, and really cool outfits, then “Hwarang” is the one for you. I had been expecting this to be another boring historical K-drama, but it was far better, and I have no regrets about staying up past 1 a.m. When I first looked at the cast list, I was surprised to see so many names I recognized ( SHINee’s Choi Minho as Kim Soo-ho, BTS’s V as Seok Han-sung, etc.). Among these young men are Sammaekjong and the mysterious commoner Kim Sun-woo (Park Seo-joon), who is surprisingly connected to the queen. The Hwarang are an elite group of warrior scholars consisting of the sons of the nobility. As he comes of age, the nobles become impatient for his ascension to the throne, eventually forcing Queen Ji-so to create the Hwarang to maintain control. In the K-drama, Regent Queen Ji-so (Kim Jisoo) rules Silla while hiding her son, the young king Sammaekjong (Park Hyung-sik). The plot of “ Hwarang” is based loosely on events in the three kingdoms period of Korean history. Here are a few K-dramas that I have watched that I would like to recommend. Although not all of them have made their way to Netflix, there are quite a few notable ones that deserve the high ratings they have received. Netflix has a sizable library of K-dramas, and many genre options to choose from.Īs Korean culture becomes more popular internationally, K-dramas have been rising in viewership. K-dramas can be found on a variety of websites or streaming apps, one of these apps being Netflix.
