Suchwita with Eom Jeong-hwa
Another cool guest sitting down to chat with Suga. Eom Jeong-hwa who I know from Our Blues and who appeared in kdrama Dr Cha earlier this year. She is much more than an actress though. She is known as the Korean Madonna for being the queen of reinvention.
She started out as a singer and dancer. Two of her biggest hits are Poison and Invitation from her 1998 album Invitation and then she moved into acting.
She is no stranger to BTS either. She was one of the guests at J-Hope's Listening Party last year and we have the photographic evidence to prove it.

my top 5 netflix kdramas of 2022:
1. Twenty Five Twenty One
this drama was so heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time; it was a perfect depiction of first love—exciting, thrilling, and sometimes disappointing. i love a kdrama that can make me feel something, and this one definitely did that <3
2. Our Blues
this kdrama met me at a time in my life where i needed the comfort that this show brings; it’s extremely calming and reassuring to see other people struggle and overcome their struggles together. if you’re looking for a touching small town or family kdrama with a little bit of romance and heartache, this is the one for you!
3. My Liberation Notes
to me, although this drama is unusual in that it’s a lot more melancholy and complex than the typical cheerful, carefree kdrama, it was so much more impactful and therapeutic to watch. i loved dissecting Mi-jeong and Mr. Gu’s relationship and seeing it progress as time went on, and the family dynamics portrayed in this show make it so much more realistic for the viewer.
4. Alchemy of Souls
this show was is so action-packed, dramatic, and romantic at the same time!! it’s very exciting and entertaining and it fulfills all of my historical kdrama dreams—but with a modern twist of course. love this show (and it has 2 seasons released in the same year!!)
5. Extraordinary Attorney Woo
such an interesting look into what it’s like to live with autism—the show does a great job of showing both sides of Young-woo’s condition, the fun and hilarious sides, and the more stressful and uncomfortable aspects. in addition to that, it’s an amazing kdrama that is unique and heartwarming! 10/10

sometimes there's something really personal and intense when people with miserable lives without a certain purpose end up finding themselves and struggle to find a little happiness in simple things that make them want to go on even when it doesn't make sense to other people, only to them.

Yall are given a dilf (choi youngjoon) and then never acknowledge him or talk about him with me and at this point I'm beginning to think y'all don't deserve these old (40+) men you claim to love. So that's why I'm taking them all back. All the dilfs (choi youngjoon) are mine. Until you can learn to appreciate them (choi youngjoon).

Jtbc may have the top 2 dramas but it's tvn that is consistently ruling the top 50.
What I am saying to myself is let's aim to be tvn in life and do consistently well even if not at THE top.

OSTs that perfectly represent the Kdrama
Through the Darkness (2022) I recently finished watching Through the Darkness a kdrama about the first criminal profiler in South Korea Kwon Il Yong. It was a slow burn of a show and I imagine that if you are from South Korea it would really hit hard. Kim Nam Gil takes the lead role as the empathetic and intuitive Kwon II Yong.
Lullaby by The Nerd Connection provided the perfect accompaniment to the painstaking and painful mind hunter work of the main characters. The guitar provides a clear sense of time moving relentlessly forward, appropriate for a series which spans the years from the establishment to the acceptance and consolidation of unit as a key part of the institutional structure of the South Korean police force.
Strangers from Hell (2019) Creepy and utterly addictive, Strangers from Hell stares into the abyss and the abyss swallows us whole. I've written about the Hannibal parallels in the relationship between the two lead characters before but, just to reiterate, the sizzling chemistry between Yim Siwan and Lee Dong Wook is difficult to turn away from even in the most tense and gory moments.
The Rose's Strangers is a taut, grinding rock song which perfectly embodies the claustrophobic feel of the show. The backing vocals whispered behind the agonized voice of the lead singer communicate the persistence of the devil to influence while the lyrics emphasize the sensation of being trapped, slowly asphyxiated and wholly corrupted by evil.
Our Blues (2022) Our Blues wasn't everybody's cup of tea but, this drama, highlighting the struggles and small triumphs of different members of a close knit fishing community on Jeju Island kept me hooked until the end. It, along with Secret Garden, Something in the Rain, Run On, and The Island, are the reason that Jeju will definitely be part of the itinerary for my dream trip to South Korea.
With You sung by Jimin and Ha Sung Woon will forever be associated with Min Seon A's emotional journey. She loves her child deeply but cannot care for him because she is literally drowning in her sorrows. Her journey to self acceptance, recovery and healing, aided by Lee Byung Hun's character Lee Dong Seok, is determined and poignant and is perfectly reflected in the lyrics of the song, "I promise I'll never leave your love. My heart is beating 'cause of you"
