Personal favourites #series

To start a wonderful tradition, I decided to share my favourite Korean series and movies with you this time, showing you that the Korean film industry indeed has its own gems that worth every second that one can spend in front of the screen of their computer.

Since finding quality websites is not always as easy as it sounds, I would like to recommend you the one that I found a few years back. Even though there are ads in the beginning and in the middle of the episodes, they are not that annoying. {click here}

The first series I chose is Goblin because this is one of those series I started while it was still ongoing and I usually don’t do such a thing. Yet, back then everyone was head over heels for both the plot and the characters of this kdrama (my favourite one was obviously the grim reaper) therefore I was curious whether it is really that good or simply just mainstream. It turned out to be both and being the first Korean supernatural series I saw it has a special place in my heart. Also, the poem about first love during the first part of the drama when Eun Tak marvels at the autumn leaves is pure beauty.

He’s psychometric is a pretty new kdrama that made me addicted within a blink of an eyes - although it’s true that the first episode I saw was the third one actually but where is fun in watching everything in the appropriate order. It is about a young man who is able to read objects and traumas of people and about a crime in which he lost his parents. It has dozens of interesting layers, it is well-structured and full of amazing characters and thrilling plot twists. The main leads (all four of them) made an excellent job and even the less important characters were fun to watch. Lee Ahn’s personality is charming, complex and easy to fall for.

Healer is first kdrama I have ever seen. This was that one particular series that sucked me in and kept me here ever since. I remember watching the first episode with scepticism and getting bored halfway then seeing the very last minute of it and falling. The plot was amazing, fresh, something that was able to keep me in front of the scene for hours. I think I finished it within four days and also made one of my friend watch it because it is a must. Thinking about it, I can feel nostalgia running through my veins. A story of the tragedy of parents, the liberty of speech, the power of love and lots of action. The perfect combination.

Train to Busan is not a series but a movie that might sound boring if we think about all the zombie movies that had been made during the past few decades yet is interesting to watch when one gives it a chance. I saw it with my best friend and we both liked it especially the ending since it was unexpected. Of course there were times when we exchanged knowing glances and sighed heavily at some scenes but overall it is still a favourite. The good guy is charming, the teenagers are foolish, the bad man is selfish. The writer, the director and every single actor made a good and realistic job.

Another first, this time the first Korean movie that I have seen. Truth to tell, the plot surprised me a bit since I did not watch the trailer in advance and those powerful scenes that the movie contains were also shocking. The suffering and the unnerving uncertainty that all the characters feel are very much real and fill the eyes of the audience with tears. Even though I could not recall the whole story, the feeling remained and that is what tells that it is a good movie.

What is your favourite kdrama or Korean movie? Would you recommend something you are still watching or finished currently?
