Hey MDL'ers.
Even if you don't have an
oppa, what dramas would you consider watching with one? Your Oppa could have
particular taste in TV series and films. But there's bound to be some titles that
you could both enjoy together. After consulting with my oppa, who has watched
some dramas but is not overly interested. Here is our list.
A past love reappears but is it too late for our leads to give it
another shot? Or is the risk of a possible second heartbreak eminent. There
is some essence of authenticity here where you can feel the writer really
tried to pull some of the sources of dialogue and scenes in a way that was
very real human and relatable. Trying to resist her handsome ex is hard
especially when they have to work together on a mutual project.
Here you will get swept away in a brooding historical set drama.
With some strong leads and a lot of political opposition. There is a stirring
plot at work here that you might enjoy together with the mix of action
and romance themes of duty and honor. This is a great drama to enjoy together
Well with a recruited crew of convicts who are sort
of assembled Avenger style they team up reluctantly to solve a suspicious case
which happens to utilize all their connections and unique talents. This is a
star-studded cast and it definitely does not disappoint. You come to root for
these 'bad guys' as they work together to find the root of the problem. Elements of
action, violence, crime and mystery abound here, so viewer discretion is advised.
This drama we both highly recommend.
Two couples romantic storylines are depicted here in the slice of life rom-com where for one
set of couples its opposites that have attracted but still have yet to connect.
Goal and dream oriented ideals are aspects of this drama. Together you can
enjoy the down-to-earth characters as life throws some unexpected curveballs
their way. It is fun to watch together to see how
these characters overcome everything.
Freaky accident of a natural disaster level, literally sends our female lead crashing
into you the handsome male lead who happens to be Hyun Bin. Could you imagine
how unusual this would be to happen in real life?
Sources say, unfortunately, there are no captain's as dashing as Hyun Bin from
North Korea but the fantasy of a drama story is quite played up here and can be
enjoyed as a guilty pleasure watching it together with your oppa. Although it could
be easy to point out the unrealistic scenarios, the exciting chases intrigue
and lifelong friendships are good entertainment.
This drama could be very relatable to your oppa. As the
storylines are lightly divided by the four main male cast yet somehow
interwoven throughout their work lives, love lives, and close bond of friendship.
From playing baseball to hanging out, they always have each other's back. But when
the female lead has a secret crush on her longtime oppa who is in that friend
circle and sadly she happens to be a little friend-zoned. She tries to take
courage to confess to him only to get caught in the net of his close friend.
And, as it would seem, fate lends a hand or a booty covering to be exact when an
awkward situation befalls them. The romances here are shown between older
adults and not typical school or young adult loves and Kim Woo Bin happens to
have a small guest role!! FYI.
A special and bizarre walkie-talkie
allows a detective from 1989 to talk to a criminal profiler in the year 2015.
Although this kind of reminds me of that North American feature film Frequency,
with Dennis Quaid, where a similar plot line through a radio frequency box
connects a father to his son from the future into the past. But the similarity
here in signal is them working together so they can solve and try to prevent
further crimes from occurring. While it might seem a little unrealistic, the
vivid storytelling is one for the imagination and it will definitely make
you and your oppa want to binge watch it together. This drama received high
acclaim and viewership ratings. Be sure to add it to your watch list or re-watch list.
Since he was a child,
Jang Geu Rae has played the game of Go. But when he fails to become a
professional player, he has to settle for a job as an office intern, that was set
up through an acquaintance at the company One International. The first day
of work he meets another intern. They both try to do their best to make their
section boss happy but they soon find out that their department is not like the others.
Although sometimes seeing the work struggles of others can make you
appreciate your own job or maybe you just find it relatable amidst all the frustrations.
Hyun Bin strikes again! This
fantasy like Kdrama, mixing VR video games with real life, stars Hyun Bin and
Park Shin Hye. Bringing all the excitement of video game elements into a
slice-of-life situation that gets increasingly more dangerous as the game
turns out to be more complicated for all the players involved. If your oppa likes
gaming then this drama is an interesting story to watch together combining
elements of mystery suspense romance and facing your fears.
Blast to the past in another drama from the Reply Series. This one set in the 80's.
Perhaps it'll make you and your oppa reflect back on your own youth growing
up in a different time period, as the times are ever-changing. With themes of
school family youth and romances it seems to cover the genre of slice of
life intact. Come for the drama but enjoy the hair and fashion. Thanks for watching
MDLers! Be sure to like, share and subscribe!
