I have mixed feelings about Seo In Guk’s looks, I’m really not sure he is anywhere near as handsome as everyone says he is, but he definitely can create a character and act him out incredibly well. The choice between the three of the pretty boy period dramas is hard and I guess just boils down to personal preference.Puck shows a different side of Lee Kwang Soo and was a good short drama to while away an afternoon.Shopping King Louie was a pleasant surprise, for although it had a few cringe worthy moments, it also had some touching and sweet ones too. I do, however, love that the lead actor plays with a unique 14 sided die called Juryeonggu, the original of which came from Silla. The fans of BTS whose member Kim Tae Hyung played the part of the youngest Hwarang increased its popularity overseas. Still it was pleasant enough to watch and I would recommend it.Moonlight Drawn By Clouds had stiff competition for a pretty boy period drama with Scarlet Heart: Ryeo which did indeed have a very attractive cast, however it was a more intense roller coaster ride of emotions.Hwarang: The Beginning arrived late in the year and soon gained a decent fan base, but I think it suffered a little for being basically the third ‘contender’ of the year.
So far it is engaging and looks like it will be an enjoyable show. I liked that although one character did change, it was a partial change and therefore much more believable than in some Kdramas.Weightlifting Fairy is currently on air so I haven’t seen all the episodes, but I like that a Kdrama is showing a slightly larger lead actress, (Kim Bok Joo gained about 20 pounds for the role) and is loosely based on a real person. Again an attractive cast with some decent character development. The premise is silly, but this is Kdrama-land after all, and once you are willing to go along with it, the story had a few more twists than perhaps it would seem from first glance. It also goes under the title of Sweet Stranger And Me.
I’ve heard some criticism about Kim Go Eun’s character being too young, but I think I can understand the writers choice of her starting the drama as a girl and not a woman. Real men as lead actors, who have great chemistry and a budding bromance, a story line that seems straightforward, except that the cast of supernatural characters have differing goals and agendas which will no doubt lead to plot twists and turns. Only half way through and each week I can’t wait for the next episode, which says something as usually I will let a few episodes stack up and then have a semi binge afternoon. It jumped into my top three choices of the year.My favorite show so far this year, just edging out W-Two Worlds, has to be Goblin.
Hope you find something good to watch, and you can let me know your favorites in the comments below.You may also like, Hwarang, The Flower Boys of Silla, Is it The Kdrama Actor, Goblin, Guardian, or God, Juryeonggu, and The Best Korean Dramas, (So Far This Year).Please do not copy or use without permission and accreditation. I’m pretty sure this is in no way a complete list. I like her, and the other characters, so hope the drama ends up with a happy ending for everyone.So if I were to recommend the kdramas of 2016 that I enjoyed most I think it would be Goblin first, followed by W-Two Worlds, and then Go Ho Starry Night, with a whole bunch of others in a tight grouping just behind them.Below is a listing of 2016 K-dramas that I could find on various available online streaming services.
