top 10 kdrama bromances to feed your empty heart

if you scroll through my page, you can already guess number 1.

#10 - our beloved summer : choi ung and kim ji ung

beautiful beautiful men choi woo shik and kim sung cheol played ung bros for life in this beautiful beautiful drama. one of the best handled love triangles ive seen. they were there for each other through thick and thin, and helped each other through sm. best. on the tenth spot because they could've expanded on it more :(

#9 - what's wrong with secretary kim? : lee young joon and park yoo sik

i could never make it through the series. i left it behind on ep9/10 i think, and primarily because i physically cannot digest how emotionless park min young is. BUT, kudos to the hilarious office best bromance by the great park seo joon and kang ki young. ps - why is kang ki young the pankaj tripathi of korean dramas?

#8 - strong girl do bong soon : ahn min hyuk and in gook du

can we ever forget the legendary wink? or the dream where min hyuk is dressed as a woman? i think not. this was more of a frenemy type bromance, united by their love for bong soon and ironically divided by it, too. i refuse to acknowledge this as a love triangle tho. bong soon was astronomical in not hurting gook du and i will not take any criticism. is it a bromance if one of them is pretending to be gay? (and no, we will not discuss any sort of iTs pRoBLeMaTiC debates here.)

#7 - tale of the nine tailed : lee yeon and koo shin ju

don't come at me with the lee rang comments. rang was his half brother, related by blood. their relationship was top tier, but the stay at home husband yeon and working husband shin ju was too cute to not be classified as a bromance. in the beginning, i saw their relationship as shin ju serving yeon, a dynamic that they both seemed to embody. but as the show progresses, yeon baby we know you love shin ju just as much :*

#6 - alchemy of souls : jang uk and seo yul

song joon ki seems to have an attachment to bromances. han seo had the best character arc of the ENTIRE kdrama universe fight me. that court scene where vincenzo pats han seo's cheek was max bro cuteness. still not over his death. he deserved better.

#5 - vincenzo : vincenzo cassano and jang han seo

even though i didn't very much like the show's first couple, bromance delivered well. hospital scene peaked, complete true beauty sameness. it was pretty hard to understand who was the superior officer in this tbh initially, since their comraderie was so cool, shi jin was kid to soldier in a split second. loved how they chose not to unnecessarily exaggerate the love triangle initially bec i was only rooting for the second couple.

#4 - descendants of the sun : yoo shi jin and seo dae young

business proposal was the first kdrama i saw. i finished it in a three day trip, and i remember thinking more about the bromance than the romance. i was NOT used to the clumsiness of kdramas in general, like wattpad fics incarnated. the bromance delivered well, made me root for the second couple, and was the only initial indicator of kang tae moo being human instead of archaeopteryx. that word was a nightmare to spell.

#3 - business proposal : kang tae moo and cha sung hoon

the most wolfstar bromance if I ever saw one. and NO, i do not ship wolfstar just like i do not ship these two. they are totally adorable, and specially since their personalities seemed to switch from when they were children. yeong turned all serious face and lee gon got fun. love their years of friendship sm, their wordless communication and yeong in general. the acting was amazing.

#2 - the king - eternal monarch : lee gon and jo yeong

#1 - guardian - the lonely and great god : kim shin aka goblin and wang yeo aka grim reaper

yes, i know I'm missing a lot of iconic ones. unfortunately, i haven't seen alot of kdramas and have left alot in bw (like true beauty bec i couldn't see second lead hurt).

spring onion slays ^

told ya, if u follow me u already knew what the first one was gonna be. being the simp i am for the goblin and grim reaper, these two achieved the max points for their bromance. that slow dynamic of goblin calling reaper's hat tacky to fighting with knives to that iconic 'saranghae' to 'HOW DARE YOU' to goblin boiling eggs with his powers while reaper chills the beer. they know each other so well. love love love them and you should too 🔪

in my heart, the trio of our boys beats nothing (except for the gookdu-minhyuk relationship of the crown prince and uk). but instead of choosing the frenemy thing, i decided to love yul and uk more. yul was such a quiet character, with incredible potential in him for me to hate him, but then...(the guy is literally too sweet and beautiful and nice i can ramble for days). and uk, man, our power baby who loves every version of our beautiful but slow girl, needed so much emotional support. uk and yul were not afraid to show their affection for each other, a trait i admired in all the three boys (jang uk, seo yul and park dang gu).

Hiii~~

I love your icon because (1) Esom is adorable and (2) Because this is my first life is the first drama I ever watched and it holds a special place in my heart. It's not at all my favorite but I do think fondly of it but I don't think I've ever seen you talk about it. you have really good taste and have introduced me to a lot of bangers, so I was wondering what your opinion of the drama is (you don't have to write a really long review a sentence would be fine lol)

You are so lucky that Because This Is My First Life was your first k-drama instead of Boys Over Flowers like me :P

It's honestly so so good (aside from a little gripe I have at the end) and it's in my top 10 for sure. Esom's character is one of my favorite characters of all time, up there with Goo Se Ra - I just love everything about her! And Jung So Min is one of my favorite actresses. We love a soft boy and the whole marriage contract and consent issues were dealt with perfectly!

I don't talk about Because This is My First Life because I have complicated feelings about Lee Min Ki. He was arrested for sexual assault but was not indicted because the victim took back her original statement. And I KNOW that means that by law he is innocent, but the whole story was really shady (and powerful men get away with so much) so I just have trouble with him...

I'm so lucky I saw this drama BEFORE I learned about that stuff and maybe I should finally let go of some of my anger at these problematic boys but like (!!!) Anyways, I kinda love that you noticed I don't rec this drama a lot even though it deserves a lot of praise <3

#problematic actors #because this is my first life #kdrama #ask #it's possible that he's innocent i know I know #but like how many famous men get away with so much simply because the law and money are on their side?#i live in the usa and wouldn't be at ALL surprised if we had trump as our next president again #anyways i'll stop rambling

Hi :) what are your faves kdrama ?

Hi hi! :D Whenever I get ask about favorite dramas my perspective always seems to change as time goes by tbh! Here's an old ask from 2021 that included my favorite kdramas — but now I'm honestly really picky with what I call a "favorite" drama. Like yes, I still very much enjoyed past ones I called a favorite but if I had to put it in a category it'd be that I just enjoyed it a lot in the moment. If that makes any sort of sense 😭 For a drama to be a favorite I literally need to feel some sort of attachment to it. So if I would give a list of fave kdramas it would literally be like just one ngl 😅 But anyways I'll list kdramas that I enjoyed watching and would recommend giving a try!

K-drama Flashback: 12 Classic K-pop Music Videos Featuring K-drama Actors

The following article has been posted on June 11, 2022 at 07:01PM:

An Overlooked Tracks News Finding: Here’s an article you might have overlooked. Having a partnership with NewsAPI, we try to catch music entertainment news for you to view, read and possibly enjoy. We will continue to find what’s available in the world of music entertainment, concert information and music releases. But obviously you – the listener and reader are the biggest source for news in your area, so if you can share with us. For right now, look at what we found for you:

“From The Rolling Stone – India Magazine Website – K-drama Flashback: 12 Classic K-pop Music Videos Featuring K-drama Actors”

An essential selection of hit music videos starring superstars from the worlds of K-pop and K-drama

Our K-drama Flashback series is a modest effort to create a space with cues to recall memories. It’s an attempt to gather recollections of this rich trove of classic Korean content – K-pop, K-drama, Korean variety shows or Korean movies – that I periodically delve into. Consequently, while considering what to publish for the series this weekend, I felt like rehashing a dozen iconic K-pop music videos starring some of the best K-drama actors. I believe that this selection of nostalgic music will lift your mood.

Park Seo-joon in “I Remember” by Bang Yong-guk (with Yang Yo-seop)

The critically acclaimed duet of South Korean rapper Bang Yong-guk and Beast vocalist Yang Yo-seop was panned by the Korean Broadcasting System owing to the extreme violence depicted in this music video. However, the hip-hop track with rock elements fared really well in terms of traction. The most intriguing aspect of the MV is that it introduced actor Park Seo-joon, who made his entertainment debut with “I Remember.” I’ve always thought this actor to be an ace at expressing himself. Be it in romantic scenes, in tragedies, in comic timing, or whatever else, his portrayal of emotions is on another level. This video, without a doubt, confirmed Park’s acting prowess and his status as a rising star. Although it has been more than a decade since it was first aired, listeners and viewers continue to revere it.

Lee Min-ho in “Kiss” by Sandara Park

“Kiss” was performed by South Korean idol singer Sandara Park aka Dara, a member of the girl group 2NE1. The track served as the background score for a Cass Beer commercial film starring Dara alongside Lee Min-ho. Oriental Brewery stated in 2009 that it had selected the artists as the faces of its beverage brand Cass 2x, and the song was utilized as a result of that. The initial kiss sequence between the two was dubbed one of the most memorable events of the year. A brief sequel was made in reaction to the positive response to the music video. Dara, who works as a bartender in an elite restaurant in the sequel, is taken aback when she learns that Lee works there as well. Unlike “Kiss,” the video concludes happily with the characters reconciling. By the way, you may have noted that Kim Woo-bin also appeared in the video – it was one of his maiden acting projects, before he made a name for himself as a K-drama star.

Song Joong-ki in “Men Are All Like That” by Kim Jong-kook

The track “All Men Are Like That” belongs to the album Journey Home, where the intensity of the lyrics stands out the most. The presence of Song Joong-ki, in addition to Kim Jong-kook’s excellent vocals, adds another unique selling point to the MV. The story depicts the ebbs and flows of a romantic relationship. When it begins, hearts flutter, and lovers stay and care for each other. However, with time and increasing obligations, sentiments gradually fade into insignificance. The song conveys this from a man’s perspective, with lyrics like “I held hands tightly for fear of losing it/ I was sorry to part with you/ I looked back over and over again/ I’m walking ahead of you/ I don’t look into your eyes when I talk/ I don’t love you.” The orchestral arrangement with Kim’s powerful voice expresses the melancholy that Song Joong-ki emphasizes on screen.

“I Need You” is a song by South Korean balladeer Kim Hyung-soo, better-known as K.Will, from his third mini-album of the same name that was released on February 14th, 2012. The music video features South Korean superstar Ji Chang-wook, SISTAR Bora, Yeo Jin-goo and Kim Bo-ra, in addition to the dramatic instrumental and passionate singing. The ballad depicts the heart’s desire for the beloved, and one of its most notable features is its rhythmic progression. While the build-up to the chorus is executed deftly, making the sorrow underlying the lyrics apparent, the romantic notes make for a beautiful love song, and Ji’s charm further adds a unique touch to the grandeur of the tune.

“Congratulations” is one of the most well-known songs by South Korean pop-rock band DAY6. A morose Choi Woo-shik is seen in the video sitting in a train and ruminating about his ex-girlfriend. Beautiful memories of the past turn excruciatingly painful in the present when he finds her sitting in the same train with another man. I love the interplay of the past and present, especially in terms of the tone that aligns with the atmospheric details. While the colors of yesteryear are warm with a grainy texture, the present comprises a desaturated color palette in tandem with the somber mood of the song.

Kim Hyun-joong in “Unbreakable” by Kim Hyun-joong (feat. Jay Park)

“Unbreakable” is a crossover hip-hop song with stunning orchestration and traditional Korean instruments. Additionally, hip-hop artist Jay Park’s rap verses attract attention. Kim Hyun-joong and Park’s marriage is masterfully integrated into “Unbreakable,” which captivates listeners. The music video – which includes supercars, martial arts, sword dancing, and wild animals – demonstrates unprecedented artistic beauty by harmonizing images from the East and West, offering a spectacle in the process. The choreography that reveals Kim’s strong muscular physique is a departure from his soft-natured characters in K-dramas such as Playful Kiss or Boys Over Flowers. “Unbreakable” is a killer track, confirming the artist’s dedication and the rigorous production process. Kim is said to have heralded a cataclysmic transition in the music industry with this number.
