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 j...

Actor Scope: Choi Tae Joon

-

Tae Joon is one of the actors I believe need more attention from the public. He is not as famous as other actors internationally despite being a great actor with a good resume. He started his career as a child actor. However, he stopped for a bit during puberty and returned as a handsome guy through Padam Padam (2011). He is also a full-round entertainer. I always look around searching for more content for this guy which is why I think this article will be the most prolonged Actor Scope ever for me.  Variety Shows  I can’t mention this guy without mentioning his appearances on Korean variety shows. I got to know him as the  Choi Tae Joon of Hello Counselor  at first so I will start from it.  Hello Counselor  (2010) Tae Joon is probably the only actor to join the cast of this famous Korean variety show. It is a show that receives citizens concerns and tries to solve them through discussions. He first appeared as a regular ...

BeetBits: Good Morning Call

Good Morning Call Cast Taken from a famous manga, "Good Morning Call" is a Netflix Original Japanese drama  starring  Haruka Fukuhara,  Shun'ya Shiraishi,  Dôri Sakurada  and produced by Mayuko Okamoto and Akimitsu Sasaki. The drama started airing on 2016 and currently has two full seasons following the main couple throughout both high school and university. Good Morning Call manga was written by Yue Takasuka and sold more than 5-million copies. Although the manga itself is popular, as a person who never read the manga before, my review will only consist of my opinion on the drama alone, without any comparisons to the manga. On IMDB, the rate for this drama is 7.9, which is extremely high if you count the genre of the drama. Typical rom-com dramas are rarely actually given good rating cuz of the repetitive storyline and the level of acting. Personally, I have stayed away from a lot of the famous live adaptations of mangas that I love, because of h...
