    SPOTLIGHT ON Makjang - May, 2024

    Welcome to our Spotlight On post series where you can share your picks of dramas that deserve the spotlight! Each Spotlight On post is focused on a genre or theme, as you can see in the post title. Based on this genre/theme, you are welcome to share your views about dramas you have watched that fit the topic of this post, which is:

    Makjang

    Makjang dramas (막장 드라마): A drama that is difficult to understand or accept based on common sense and moral standards of an average person. These dramas will often feature things such as forced situations/settings, tangled relationships, affairs, and birth secrets. Other hallmarks of makjang dramas include switched identities, revenge plots, power struggles, death (lots of it, especially due to murder), incest (often shown as undertones rather than real relationships), amnesia, blackmail, and evil rich people.

    The word makjang (막장) is actually not an officially recognized word but rather a non-standard form of the word kkeutjang (끝장) (noun), which means the end or the conclusion (such as death or complete failure). In popular culture, the term makjang is used to represent the idea of having reached the extreme. In the context of dramas, makjang can refer to stylistic, tonal, or narrative elements in dramas that chooses to play up the outrageous and extreme in otherwise normal dramas or to the genre of dramas characterized by these outrageous and extreme elements. For more information, see the post Makjang 101: Taking Things To The Extreme for more information and explanation.

    You are invited to share short (or long) reviews of dramas you have watched that fit the topic of this post and an explanation of why you think the drama deserves the spotlight, including whether you would recommend the drama or not.

    Our suggested format/structure for comments is:

    Drama Name

    • Good Things: about the drama,

    • Bad Things: about the drama

    • Interesting Things: about the drama

    • Spotlight On Because: explain why you think the drama deserves the spotlight, including whether you would recommend the drama or not.

    We strongly encourage you to share your MDL profile so that others can compare their tastes with yours to get a better understanding of preferences and dislikes, which will help in understanding if the feedback provided is applicable for them.

    Please remember that every individual watching goes in with their own life experiences and biases so not everyone will see the drama in the same light or enjoy it in the same way.

    Just because someone did not enjoy a drama that you loved is not a slight against you as a person.

    When participating in this discussion please remember that whilst dramas do not have feelings, human beings do. Be kind to one another.

    Please remember to use spoiler tags when discussing major plot points or anything you think should be redacted. If you are using Markdown and not Fancy Pants Editor, the easiest way to create spoiler tags is to use > ! spoiler content ! < without spaces to get >!spoiler content!<.

    Eun Sang's Sleepy Sunday Soliloquy - [2024/05/18]

    Hello everyone! Have you been sleeping well or have you been up all night binging dramas?

    Eun Sang's Sleepy Sunday Soliloquy (ESSSS) is a free for all thread, in which almost anything goes, don't diss The Heirs or break any of our other core rules. General discussion about anything and everything is allowed - including monologues!

    Who is Eun Sang?! Good question. To the uninitiated among us who haven't watched the seminal masterpiece, The Heirs, she is r/KDRAMA's first lady, Kim Tan's main squeeze, Cha Eun Sang. She is a lady of few words, but many, many tears.

    Please remember to use spoiler tags when discussing major plot points or anything you think should be redacted. If you are using Markdown and not Fancy Pants Editor, the easiest way to create spoiler tags is to use > ! spoiler content ! < without spaces to get >!spoiler content!<.

    New to our community and daunted by our Rules and Policies for posting? The best way to start your interaction with our community is by participating in our scheduled posts or On-Air Discussions. There's at least one per day of the week so that there is always a post you can participate in. These posts are very friendly and community-oriented -- a great way to dip your toe into conversations without the pressure of making a post. This will help newcomers to our subreddit get a better feel for the style and type of discourse in our community, which may be much more actively moderated in comparison to other spaces.

    Scheduled Recurring Discussions

    Our scheduled posts consists of two types: themed and free-for-all. Themed discussions cover a variety of topics frequently discussed by kdrama watchers. Free-for-all (FFA) discussion posts are our general chat discussion posts where as long as you abide by our conduct rules and Reddiquette, you can share whatever you like, including content completely unrelated to kdramas. See full detailed explanations of our scheduled posts.

    On-Air Discussions

    On-Air Discussions are dedicated weekly discussion posts for currently airing dramas. They are hosted by volunteers from the community to create a dedicated space each week to discuss what has happened in that drama for that week. On-Air drama discussions reduce clutter on the front page of the subreddit by centralizing discussion and all related content, such as news updates, previews, interviews, behind the scenes videos, etc.. For currently airing dramas with On-Air discussions, no other discussion posts are allowed, see our full Rules for details.

    A schedule of current On-Airs can be seen in our sidebar. See the latest On-Air discussions and here is our On-Air Discussions Roster, which links all our previous On-Air discussions.

    Drama Reviews

    We welcome well-written detailed drama reviews. Reviews should be for completed series only -- that is the series has finished airing all of its episodes and the reviewer has watched the entire drama.

    Welcome to our Spotlight On post series where you can share your picks of dramas that deserve the spotlight! Each Spotlight On post is focused on a genre or theme, as you can see in the post title. Based on this genre/theme, you are welcome to share your views about dramas you have watched that fit the topic of this post, which is:

    Art/Literary

    Dramas that are set in the art / literary world or feature the arts / literature in some way - this may be in the form of books, poetry, art works there may be nice quotations or perhaps the characters work in a field that leads to this focus.

    You are invited to share short (or long) reviews of dramas you have watched that fit the topic of this post and an explanation of why you think the drama deserves the spotlight, including whether you would recommend the drama or not.

    Our suggested format/structure for comments is:

    Drama Name

    • Good Things: about the drama,

    • Bad Things: about the drama

    • Interesting Things: about the drama

    • Spotlight On Because: explain why you think the drama deserves the spotlight, including whether you would recommend the drama or not.

    We strongly encourage you to share your MDL profile so that others can compare their tastes with yours to get a better understanding of preferences and dislikes, which will help in understanding if the feedback provided is applicable for them.

    Please remember that every individual watching goes in with their own life experiences and biases so not everyone will see the drama in the same light or enjoy it in the same way.

    Just because someone did not enjoy a drama that you loved is not a slight against you as a person.

    When participating in this discussion please remember that whilst dramas do not have feelings, human beings do. Be kind to one another.

    Throwback Thursday 2.0 - [2024/05/15]

    Grab yourself a knee rug and a mug of hot chocolate, it's time to reminisce those old time dramas from days gone by of pre-2019. Maybe you were around when they aired for the first time and want to take a trip down memory lane by watching them on the box. Maybe it's your first time through.

    This is our weekly discussion exclusively for those older Korean dramas on your currently watching list. We don't want to hear about the currently hyped dramas here, so please keep it to the older stuff on your watch list.

    Reminder, we advocate the use of legal streaming sources wherever possible. Any comments mentioning illegal sources will be removed and links will lead to bans as per our rules. As it is very hard to find many of the really old dramas rather than asking users "where are you watching?", we suggest you instead ask "did you find a legal source?". See our policies on streaming sites and VPNs here.

    Crazily enough not everyone has watched these classics yet so please remember your spoiler tags when discussing major plot points or anything you think should be redacted. If you are using Markdown and not Fancy Pants Editor, the easiest way to create spoiler tags is to use > ! spoiler content ! < without spaces to get >!spoiler content!<. For more detailed guidance on spoiler tags and when to use them, check our Spoiler Tags Tutorial.

    Kim Tan's Talk Time (Tuesday) - [2024/05/14]

    Hello and welcome to Kim Tan's Talk Time (Tuesday)!

    This is a free-for-all discussion in which almost anything goes, don't diss The Heirs or break any of our other core rules. General discussion about anything and everything is allowed.

    Consider this post a refuge from all the memes and fanart that are pouring in and enjoy the peace and quiet. Think of it as Tan's family wine cellar, the perfect place to chill out from the world in a fabulous sweater and have a little chat.

    Who is this Kim Tan I keep hearing about and why does he have not one, but two threads dedicated to him? Good questions. If you take a look through our glossary, you will find all the answers you seek;

    KIM TAN is the lead male in r/KDRAMA’s favourite drama, The Heirs. He’s kind of the worst but he has great sweaters so it balances out. “Kim Tan” is used in three ways on r/KDRAMA; 1) when referring to Lee Min Ho’s seminal character in The Heirs, 2) when referring to Automod (alt. Tan Bot) - “Kim Tan is feeling very triggered by my post”, “S***! Tan Bot just ate my post”, 3) In place of “God” or other deities - “For the love of Kim Tan!”

    Please remember to use spoiler tags when discussing major plot points or anything you think should be redacted. If you are using Markdown and not Fancy Pants Editor, the easiest way to create spoiler tags is to use > ! spoiler content ! < without spaces to get >!spoiler content!<. For more detailed guidance on spoiler tags and when to use them, check our Spoiler Tags Tutorial.

    Refund My Time - May, 2024

    Ever watch a drama where by the time the ending credits roll for the final episode, you start wishing you can get a refund for your time spent?

    If so, come to this thread to lament about that drama you wish you'd never watched!

    This post is different from the Dramas I Have Dropped post in that these should be dramas you finished watching and then regretted watching as opposed to having dropped the drama midway. Colloquially referred to as hate watch. This thread is envisioned for both the completists in our community who cannot drop dramas and dramas that go off the rails at the last minute.

    In order to keep this thread from becoming a vortex of negative energy we encourage our users to share their reasons and reviews as to why they regretted watching certain dramas. This way rather than just hating on dramas without reason this thread can become a constructive place for us all. We can learn from each other and maybe even be convinced by others as to why a drama may have been worth watching after all.

    You are not limited to Kdramas, feel free to discuss non-Kdramas or movies too. We strongly encourage you to share your MDL profile so that others can compare their tastes with yours to get a better understanding of preferences and dislikes, which will help in understanding if the feedback provided is applicable for them.

    Please remember that every individual watching goes in with their own life experiences and biases so not everyone will see the drama in the same light or enjoy it in the same way.

    Just because someone did not enjoy a drama that you loved is not a slight against you as a person.

    When participating in this discussion please remember that whilst dramas do not have feelings, human beings do. Be kind to one another.
