In the source link, there are #151 gifs of Ahn Jae Hyun in episode 1 of the 2023 kdrama The Real Has Come. Ahn Jae Hyun was born in 1987 and is South Korean, so please cast him accordingly. All of the following gifs were made by me for roleplaying purposes. You can crop/edit however you’d like, all I ask is that you don’t whitewash and don’t include in other gif hunts. A like and/or reblog would be greatly appreciated!
This drama focuses around the Joo family. Seoyeon's mother married Wonjae's and Wonseok's father when she was a kid, and together, their parents had Seojoon. Their parents passed away years ago, so now the four siblings live together, and the older ones are raising Seojoon, who is still in high school. Wonjae, Wonseok, and Seojoon have always been gorgeous, and their scorned lovers have always caused trouble for Seoyeon, making her prejudiced against good-looking men. What will happen when a gorgeous man named Lee Kang Woo tries to woo her?
Exaggerated expressions for everything: 15/10
Poop jokes: 10/10
Use of Despacito: 10/10 Like damn, they really got their money's worth. You could probably make a drinking game out of it.
Realistic gay representation? IN MY KDRAMA? GASP: 100000/10 Wonseok is gay, we get an entire gay romance side couple, AND two gay coming out stories. Revolutionary.
Healthy step-sibling relationships that are totally relatable: 10/10 2nd marriages are often taboo in Korea, so this was awesome
This drama is hilarious, wholesome, and sweet. Romance all around, and the best family moments ever. The main character, Joo Seoyeon, is so relatable. There are juuuuust enough characters that you don't get bored, but not so many that you get overwhelmed. Would recommend. Just look at these siblings
I am so excited for the next episode now that we have stopped the wedding!
I guess she figured this was the best way to stop the wedding? I think she has been watching too many Kdramas...but, I am not complaining. He is just so confused, and he asked her to marry him to stop the wedding!
Either Seo In Guk is releasing an epic YouTube vlog type video thing on his channel with Ahn Jae Hyun and K. Will, or my subtitle-free-Korean is very rusty and he's releasing a super problematic video, but either way I can't wait to watch it.
Just some of my thoughts for some of the dramas of 2023...
-KING THE LAND !!!!!
The natural chemistry between the main leads is just so so soooo real that it makes it hard to believe that they're "just friends" in reality; However, at the same time it makes sense, as both Junho and Yoona have been in the entertainment industry and have known each other for a long time (2pm and SNSD go wayyyy back, IYKYK). I'm kind of surprised it took them this long to meet for a drama project, but as a fan of both 2pm and SNSD, I'm so glad to see them both working together again. There are so many funny moments in this drama and the added sound effects and acting make some of the scenes so funny. I also like the easter eggs added in the drama haha. Definitely a feel-good drama. I ship the main leads..!! They already know each other so well and they're also starting to look the same haha.
-See You in My 19th Life
This series is based on the webtoon, and the drama was surprisingly not bad. Ahn Bo Hyun and Shin Hye Sun both are great together, and I feel like recently Shin Hye Sun has been typecasted into these somewhat typical bold, fearless characters that are also seemingly reflective of her own personality but in this drama I was able to kind of see somewhat of a different side to her (hard to explain hahah). And Ahn Bo Hyun...he's very versatile as an actor. And finding out that he's now dating Jisoo of BP...super unexpected haha !! The drama itself is somehow comforting with all the characters meshing well together. Pleasant~~
-Celebrity
Hmmmmm this one was great but something about the female lead I can't put my finger on.. While I do feel like her acting has improved over the years and I see that in some scenes of this drama as well, there were parts where it just seemed flat but I'm not sure if it's just how her character was written. The storyline itself was definitely interesting nonetheless, and I didn't have much expectations going into it, but it does touch upon the effects of social media in modern times and I liked the mystery/thriller type of vibe.
-D.P.
Star-studded cast; haven't watched this yet but excited to pick up where they left off for season 1.
-The Real Has Come
The cast is talented and there are strong characters in this drama and lots of twists and funny moments. It's light and funny, but there's 50 episodes so there are definitely times where it's a bit draggy but also that's typical of any family dramas.
-Oasis
Jang Dong Yoon!!! Hahaha I think the cast did a great job with their portrayals though I feel like Jang Dong Yoon just has such a baby-face and looks like he wouldn't hurt a fly but he looked so cool playing this role as Lee Doo Hak. I liked the old-fashioned style of this drama as it took place in the 80s-90s Korea, so it was really refreshing to see the type of fashion, dialects and overall atmosphere during that time through this drama, and think about how much has changed. There were parts of the drama that felt a little repetitive, but I think overall the cast made up for it.
-Apple of My Eye (금이야, 옥이야)
Typical family drama, a little predictable but expected haha.
