Since VIKI doesn’t want to aid me in my Woo Do Hwan obsession 😉 (all his dramas and movies on VIKI are not available in Poland), I decided to check something with Lee Min Ho. And I found the drama Personal Taste, where his costar is Son Ye Jin, whom I loved in Something In The Rain and Crash Landing On You.
Well, ok, I watched three episodes, but I don’t know if I’ll watch more. Son Ye Jin’s character Park Gae In is a kindhearted and good person, but she is also so ditzy and clueless. Thanks to the actresses’ talent I found it cute in the first two episodes, but it started to veer into annoying in the third one.
But the main reason for my hesitation to continue is a different one.

Ok, complaining done. Now let’s talk positively about other Korean dramas. 😊
I’m thinking about getting back to Prison Playbook. I watched the first episode maybe a year ago, and found it pretty boring then. But it’s made by the same people that made Hospital Playlist, and I loved this drama so much. Also I’ve read that Prison Playbook has a supporting gay character, and after my bad experience with Personal Taste, I’m curious how they deal with it in this drama (I heard the answer is “quite well”, but we’ll see). So I’m thinking about giving Prison Playbook a second chance.
Sad thing is my choice of Korean dramas on Netflix in Poland is pretty limited, and I already watched almost everything that looked interesting to me. Currently I’m in the middle of Mystic Pop-up Bar and I like it a lot. It’s cute and funny and I like all the characters. It also made me cry twice already, true, but in general it is cute and funny and makes me laugh a lot. Which makes it perfect for watching in the evening after a hard day at work.
There are more Korean dramas at VIKI than on Netflix, but a lot of them is unfortunately unavailable in Poland – see my complaint about Woo Do Hwan’s works above.😊
The next k-drama I plan to watch on Netflix is Mr. Sunshine – mainly because it’s written by Kim Eun Sook, who also wrote The King Eternal Monarch. The drama is set in Hanseong (the former name of Seoul) in the early 1900s, and focuses on activists fighting for Korea's independence.
