This made me curious. And I looked up all the shows you listed. All of them were pretty!
But comparatively- King of Dramas was the only which could be called ‘not pretty’!
Or were you talking about the show’s story being pretty?
So so intrigued!
Hah! I was actually using pretty to mean “great show, lovely feels” something like that. So, I was referring to Boys Over Flowers (which was definitely pretty!) but was also kind of terrible in an awesomely cracktastic way. But I had to include it since it was my gateway kdrama. I was trying to list all the shows that still resonate with me even if it’s been a few years (some shows I enjoyed at the time, like Miss Korea, but I remember nearly nothing about them). I loved King of Dramas because I identified with the writer.
I’d definitely recommend King of Dramas because it was such fun looking at the behind the scenes drama of how dramas get made. I didn’t expect to be on board the romance bc there is a serious age gap between the two leads, but Anthony won me over. @javabeans and @girlfriday had fun recapping that one, if I remember right.

My shows are so pretty. Except you. You know who you are. You are embarrassing, but I had to include you.

Ah! The struggle with Boys over Flowers is quite real! It was my gateway drug to the wonderful kdramaland but it WAS quite stupid!
I haven’t watched either Miss Korea or King of Dramas.. Time for new shows methinks 🙂

He was awesome in it. Such a flawed, funny character. Enjoy!
