K-pop and Korean Drama Websites You Should Follow

-



Here is one thing I know about Kpop and Kdrama content, and that is that there is always something new every second. To keep up with these new issues, I have a shortlist of websites that I regularly stalk for updates. I don't trust any website 100%, however, reading an exclusive here and there and confirming it via more research is a writer's job. So here we go!

1. Allkpop

It is not the most trustworthy website; however, Allkpop is one of the websites I stalk for new content, especially about new idol groups and controversies. Sometimes they mention controversies that do not count as scandals or controversies, to begin with. However, I have come to the conclusion that it is up to the reader to decide what to believe, so their approach is one way of writing that shows one side. 

2. Koreaboo

With an addictive design that keeps you moving from one article to another before you realize you have read more than you should, Koreaboo is a website that I enter whenever I wish to read lighthearted articles. For some reason, every single Instagram post on social media could become an article on this website. Articles about a good clothing piece that an idol was wearing or statements jokingly said in a broadcast are written in no time on this website. It kinda reminds me of the articles written in real-time that we see in Dramas. 

3. Soompi

Interested in the next big thing in the Kdrama world? Soompi is the best place to check out. With articles that discuss certain genres, actors lifestyle, upcoming airing dates and so on. It is one of the top resources you should check out for actors updates—also, the best place to check the top dramas on Viki. 

4. Dramabeans

Who doesn't know the ultimate website for recaps like no others!! Dramabeans is what got me to start a few of my favourite shows. I still remember how I started " Just Between Lovers" after reading about it on Dramabeans. Although it was the saddest I ever watched, It still remains one of my favourites till now. Check out Dramabeans for recaps on latest shows like Birthcare Centre. 

5. Feedspot


Although not exactly a website that is mainly for Kdramas, Feedspot has a blog that focuses on creating lists with the top websites in many genres. Being a fan of reading other bloggers opinions, I stumbled upon an article mentioning top 80 Korean Drama blogs and websites on this website, and now it is where I check for new bloggers on the horizon. It is definitely worth a look.

BeetBits: Move To Heaven

 Probably the fastest binge ever in my own history of binge-watching. Move To Heaven is a short 10 episode drama produced by Netflix, especially for Kdrama lovers. It explores life and death through the story of the workers at Move To Heaven trauma cleaning agency. From Lee Je Hoon to the newly discovered Tang Joon-Sang, the cast for this drama is more than top-notch.  Trauma Cleaning  Ever heard of trauma cleaning? Personally, I have never heard nor even thought about them. It is weird, they say, "away from the eyes, away from the mind." It is totally true in this case. I have even written about unconventional careers before for a job; surprisingly, this job was not even mentioned anywhere. It is like the whole industry of crime scene cleaning is not exactly recognized by people. After reading a few articles about a trauma cleaner's job, it is a job that requires handling chemical materials that remove the worst type of contamination you can think of. Certainly, a job th

BeetBits: Team Bulldog: Off-Duty Investigation

I seriously need to write a list of unpopular Kdramas for 2020. I keep discovering new gems that I should have watched last year.  Team Bulldog Off-Duty Investigation This is a 12-episode short series starring Cha Tae Hyun and Lee Sun Bin as the main characters alongside multiple first-rate supporting actors. I especially loved Jung Sang-hoon in here. I always saw him in comedic roles and he was fun to watch but I wanted to see him in a serious role once.  Team Bulldog Off-Duty Investigation Review Team Bulldog is a mystery drama with quirky characters, fun investigations, disgusting murderers, and interesting reporters. You get the whole package in just 12 episodes in this drama. A group of misfits try to solve mysteries that the police themselves cannot solve. With one member a real detective, they are not a totally illegitimate group; therefore, they have access to crime scenes and police resources when needed. The group itself includes a former forensic pathologist, a former profil

BeetBits: Hot Stove League

Korean dramas in 2020 were really top-notch. Despite finishing my fair share of dramas, I am still discovering new gems till now in January. Hot Stove League is one of the dramas I didn't think I would like because I literally know nothing about Baseball. In fact, I am "sports illiterate" in general. However, this is one show that could count as educational, entertaining, and even non-romantic. Still, before starting the drama, it is better if you are not familiar with the rules of baseball to at least read an article before the beginning of this drama. It is not a drama about a high school team, therefore, you won't start the drama with an introduction to the rules of the game. In fact, one of the first meetings in the show included terminologies like WAR (Wins Above Replacements), batting average, etc. Therefore, I recommend you read the following articles before you start.  1. Baseball Rules by Rules of Sports 2. Baseball Positions: All 9 Fielding Positions Explai
