Cardiothoracic surgeon Oh Yeon-joo's (Han Hyo-joo) father mysteriously went missing while writing the last chapter of his webtoon "W". Yeon-joo goes to his office and is shocked to see a scene of the dying Kang Cheol (Lee Jong-suk), the main character of W, on her father's computer. While reading a note left behind by her father, a hand from the monitor pulled her in and she finds herself on the rooftop of a building next to a bleeding man. She manages to save him and realizes that the person she saved was Kang Cheol. Yeon-joo later discovers that she can only leave the webtoon based on Kang Cheol's change in feelings.

what is it about

 

 

 

Legion, based on the Marvel Comicsis the story of David Haller (Dan Stevens), a troubled young man who may be more than human. Diagnosed as schizophrenic as a child, David has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. Now in his early 20's and free once again, David loses himself in the rhythm of the structured regimen of life in the daily life: breakfast, lunch, dinner, therapy, medications, sleep. David spends the rest of his time in companionable silence alongside his chatterbox friend Shannon (Aubrey Plaza), a fellow patient whose life-long and alcohol addiction has done nothing to quell her boundless optimism that her luck is about to change. The pleasant numbness of David's routine is completely upended with the arrival of a beautiful and troubled new patient named Syd (Rachel Keller). Inexplicably drawn to one another, David and Syd share a startling encounter, after which David must confront the shocking possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees may actually be real.

Driven and ambitious with her career yet compassionate towards her patients, Hae-soo has a negative attitude towards love and relationships in her personal life. Once Jae-yeol and Hae-soo meet, there is much contention between them caused by their strong personalities and refusal to give in to each other. But slowly their bickering turns into love and they begin to learn how compatible they are. Jae-yeol and Hae-soo attempt to heal each other's deep-seated wounds, but their fledgling relationship takes a blow when they learn that Jae-yeol's mental health issues are more serious than they initially suspected.

Echoing these --

 

MISAENG. This is a beautifully written, wonderfully acted slice of life story about a group of interns trying to make it in Korea's tough office setting. The main character rips my heart out. I cried a lot watching this, and I couldn't stop myself from watching it back to back, despite the emotional drain. Slow burn, but seriously... one of the best written shows I have ever seen.

 

HEALER. Ji Chang Wook stars in this, and it has one of my favorite romances ever. It isn't cheesy or silly; it is more about two broken people finding completion in each other. I loved it.

 

W. I haven't finished it, but it has an interesting concept (and some beautiful shots).

 

REPLY 1988. I am also not done with this, and it can be a little slow at times -- BUT it is, again, a slice of life drama about a group of families during 1988. I enjoy the throwback to the 80s, and the lead actress is apparently an idol but I had no clue because she is so good. Highly recommended.

Dramas I love and will always recommend (though they may not be on viki): Reply 1997, Oh My Ghostess, Oh My Venus, Emergency Couple, Misaeng, Healer, I Remember You, and A Witch's Romance.

 

Also echoing Oh My Venus -- it is a predominantly lighthearted drama but is basically about a girl who used to be the most attractive girl at her high school. She grows up, gets a great job, but gains a ton of weight. Something happens that makes her determined to get back to her old self, which leads her to seek out a famously secretive personal trainer to help her. I enjoy it because I expected a lot of fat shaming jokes, and it is really about the fact that she is unhealthy and needs to change it because of that. The romance is charming, and I like how mature/not silly it feels.
