Edit: The reason you keep getting these updates is because i cant fit as many live actions at once. So i reall really put a lot of consideration in choice


Folks think we only do romance but we literally are covering shop for killers. I think about 40% of our Kdramas are non romance in nature with things like Worst Of Evil having it…but like..na?

it looks like Queen Of Tears is consistent and airing. So its back into consideration.

I took off Hotel Luna. A couple people compare it’s viewing pleasure to Goblin. They didnt say its the same. Just based on feedback, on Goblin wouldn’t recommend Hotel Luna. To be clear Goblin was a great experience and iconic, it has lows and highs. But id rather avoid shows with so much low moments.

For example Marry My Husband has ZERO low moments to me. Never watched an episode and thought “wow this scene is dragging”. Thats a personal opinion. It’s different for people. You may enjoy the staring and get your tissue out but because i dont feel the same the same way as you to that stimuli…i end up just staring and waiting for something to happen. Lmao.

I will keep listening to your say yay or nay with rational

The chat feature within the Patreon app is highly recommended because I monitor it.

I did not specify which K drama is replacing twinkling watermelon. Ever since I found out that parasite was coming out in a few days and is a Korean product. I hesitated.

We have a few spots with twinkling watermelon , and I can increase the frequency of “shop for killers” so you will for sure have the average of 5 K dramas a week.

I just wanted to make sure that parasite is going to be a good show in the first place by a couple people getting to it before me

I will share with you the list I was working on.

I made beyond evil bold because it has my attention the most

What’s wrong with secretary Kim is just often suggested

Happiness

Beyond evil

Whats wrong with secretary kiml


I have no interest in Mask Girl, not because of the plot or anything.

If I missed a wave on a new show I likely will no longer cover it as a reaction channel unless it enters the category of timeless.


Shows like that I would just watch on my own time

With a lot of new content it’s either now or never

Hotel del luna❤️

Ihsan

Totally support your decision, parasite looks good, and since it's an adaptation of a Japanese story and now a k-drama it should have a relatively large audience. Can't wait for Happiness and Hotel DeLuna though ❤️

seven

you have to be deeply invested when watching beyond evil lol, it’s a wild ride on that one, having you break the 4th wall 😭 as for the others, happiness and hotel del luna are top tier!

Daisy

Out of the shows mentioned above I prefer what’s wrong with secretary Kim. It’s a timeless classic. Very entertaining and a lot to discuss and argue in a fun way. As for beyond evil, it’s a good show but personally I did find it slow (interesting tho) and I don’t enjoy watching reactions to it. (Just a personal opinion). I also do not see it pulling numbers on youtube. Hotel Del Luna is good but I did drop it after 8-9 episodes because of the repetition of the plot in each episode. Although pick the one which you find engaging because that is when we will get the best reaction.

Mochi

it's more of a spin off than an adaptation but built in the same universe ✨️

Em

I’m definitely still rooting for Beyond Evil! Hope you guys enjoy whatever you end up picking though

Anne

Omg beyond evil mentioned! You would like it i think, amazing acting/writing, interesting characters and ofc the thriller element of it (maybe im biased since thats my favorite genre lol)

translucentmin

Hotel Del Luna is kind of slow (similar to Goblin), so not sure if they'd like it...

Daisy

I agree. Plus each episode has the same story along with the main plot. I did recommend goblin but I think I understand their taste now.

Mell

Just here manifesting Happiness reactions one day🙏🙏 But, would watch anything that's chosen

Tell me

Whats wrong with secretary kim ❤

jess

I would say Queen of tears is the drama with the most hype right now as well and has been really good so far!! But these are all good options

nurlyaiiym

I couldn’t finish Hotel del luna, I don’t know why, but I felt bored while watching it🤷🏻‍♀️ I’d recommend you “Descendants of the sun” and “What’s wrong with Secretary Kim” You know both drama’s main actors. These are really good, especially DOTS. I’ve never seen someone reacting to this, because it’s old, but it has a lot of fans, mainly because of the SongSong couple. But, the story itself is really entertaining👍🏻

Crez0le

Nice choices but i would still love to recommend "Descendants of the Sun" the main lead is the male lead on vincenzo. Anf if not also would like to recommend " Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" this two are my all time favorite kdrama shows. And running in third is doctor slump hehehe

raguoc00

Queen of tears has the most hype right now and will likely enter timeless category based on ratings and reactions. Put it on your radar after Shop for Killers and Parasite.

🌵

What’s wrong with secretary Kim is my comfort show. I feel like hotel del luna has the same vibe as goblin. I can’t say anything about beyond evil because I never finished it. I might revisit it one day when I’m bored because it starts out kinda slow

summer

I'm confident that whats wrong with secretary kim is what you would like the most in the romcom choices.

🌵

I’m not sure if you guys have already decided to move on from a killers paradox but I finished it today and I really enjoyed it. If you don’t do a reaction I would still suggest watching it on your own time

Kimberley

I think Masters of the sun is slept on it has Hotel del Luna vibes but it's better.

Chanyeol

Yes! Queen of tears will most likely enter timeless. The cast is amazing and the plot is so good.

martina1712

Still rooting for beyond evil 😁🙌 and excited for Parasite 👌

Subaru

Thank you for the communications

Andre

While you were sleeping is a classic and still really popular

Tammy S

Even if it doesn’t get chosen, thanks for considering Beyond Evil. I’ve been waiting a long time to see a big reaction channel watch it, but it always gets lost amongst other K-Drama recommendations. I hope it’ll stay on your radar even if you choose not to react to it at this time.

James Copeland

Twenty five twenty one , i would be resubbing

Chanyeol

I haven’t watched parasyte anime but the live action looks interesting. I might check it out when it comes out.

Lilanea

of the ones that you listed, Hotel Luna is the one I would choose with Beyond Evil second.

Jessica

I'm not sure why Hotel Del Luna is recommended to you guys. Based on what you've enjoyed/not enjoyed so far, I see this being another Goblin situation. I think people are just projecting their interests onto you, instead of keeping in mind what you guys like. (Side note: I'm patiently waiting for my money situation to get better so I can rejoin your Patreon, so for now I'm just an onlooker with comments lol)

kun st

Queen of Tears, its very popular right now

raeven b.

Team romcom here--out of the final list of contenders, I'm 1000% confident What's wrong with Secretary Kim is the drama you would thoroughly enjoy. I mean, can we all agree we like to shamelessly simp on Park Min Young? And Park Seo-joon is bae, so there lol

Dilmurod

Ikr it was a stuggle to get through Hotel Del Luna. I would say it's even worse than Goblin in terms of how slow some parts can be.

Rosey Martinez

Twenty five twenty one is one of my favorites and you’ll enjoy it

Alicia Mosby

What's wrong with Secretary Kim is great 👍

el

Im so glad Beyond Evil made it this far - it's kindof a slow burn bcz almost every character has 'something' but it's def worth the wait , the same way i enjoyed 'Moving'

Snax

the only one i can't get behind is beyond evil. i know a lot of people are recommending it, but tbh i found it boring and the writing a bit juvenile. the leads literally go back and forth about blaming eachother and it just gets repetitive. i think maybe the case was interesting? maybe? but i was so distracted with 'you did this' 'no you did this' 'no you did this first' 'ok i believe you' 'now i dont believe you' 'ok but i believe you now'...............................>.>

Snax

the songsong couple is actually why it lost many fans.

Snax

it's not even finished and you think it belongs in timeless?

Snax

it continues slow as well, so you're not missing much.

Snax

thank youuuuu! i have never seen anyone else rec this, and always see hotel del luna. masters of the sun would definitely be considered a timeless, under their definition. not to mention so ji sub is such a slept on actor for international kdrama fans. he's had some amazing work in the past and i haven't seen a single reaction to any of them.

Snax

the reason so many people rec it is probably because they know the reactors would like iu. her character is very similar to the lead female in it's ok. she's sassy, narcissistic, beautiful, amazingly dressed, and talented. the idea for the show is also very interesting; a hotel for the dead. i personally think it has a more interesting premise than goblin, but i love goblin more. gong yoo simp.....the visuals in hotel though, are really beautiful. i think they'd kind of enjoy it. but i'm also not sure how much they actually like supernatural or fantasy type dramas. they seem to mostly watch romance or realistic slice of life dramas. i spend most of my time watching period pieces from korea and china, so i stopped making any real recs because not a single reactor i follow would ever enjoy what i watch.

Snax

it's interesting you compared the two, because i couldn't even get past the second episode of moving because of how boring it was. now that you mention it, beyond evil was also very boring. so i feel like the payoff is not worth it for moving anymore. thanks for the heads up

DJ

Beyond Evil, please it fits so well for you guys and is a great show. You guys have to do it.

Dawood Al Omary

Hotel del Luna is my personal favorite out of these. The lead is a Kpop artist and her character is extremely sassy. She is the reason it was on my radar in the first place. And the premise was interesting. I was surprised that 2 other kpop artists were also recurring characters in it. Secretary Kim is on hold for me until I get over the fact that they used a plot point/trope that I personally hate (it was going great until then, but hard to say if it would have topped Hotel del Luna even without that part). I will definitely resume it later on. As I side note (because I can't get the suggestion page to work for me without crashing), I highly recommend Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. Both leads are fantastic. There is a "prequel" and a "sequel" but they are unrelated to it as far as I am told. It didn't affect my experience in the slightest.

maha

they've actually watched strong woman already! you can find it in their collections or if you just search it on their page :)

Snax

the sequel is related in that the leads make a cameo. but the show in general is a bit ridiculous and all over the place. it was like two shows mashed in to one. everytime they made a jump from the romantic to the mystery, it was so jarring i felt like it was a completely different show.

maha

for real! this one was requested a lot in their suggestions post and the comments mentioning it all got a handful of likes so im surprised they didnt add it to the list lol

Maame Owusu Boahene

I recommend beyond evil, it was a very interesting watch for me. A lot of interesting characters and it honestly seems like a show I think y'all will enjoy. :)

Maira Lovanne

Yes, the acting is on point! the confrontation dialog/script is so goood and on par with twenty five twenty one.

rytova ar

You did a fare share of romcoms, so it would be nice to see something different. Beyond Evil is for sure worth the watch, it has such an amazing cast, atmosphere, vibe and plot. Also, love the relationships between the main characters . For those who find it slow, well not every show needs to start crazy fast some need build up and for viewers to get into the mood of the series

Lysieblu

Of these, I like Hotel del Luna. I haven't seen Beyond Evil but it's on my list. I like What's Wrong with Secretary Kim but it's basically in the same category as Business Proposal.

rytova ar

But it didn't enter this category right now so ... Let's choose something real timeless

Ange Kelodia

Queen of tears is airing now and is very popular

Jessica

@Snax i can see how one would say that iu's character is similar to FL in IONTBO. Shes the one saving grace of the whole show, so i can see that being a reason to recc. But that alone isnt enough for me to recc it. The premise is good, but poorly executed. The ML was ehh, and the episodes boring and hard to get through. I generally have a higher tolerance for waiting for things to pay off in shows than they do, and even i struggled with this one. Then again, everything's subjective so they may love it. Who knows lol

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

As a reaction channel. We tend to avoid covering shows that are slept on because we dont want the reactions slept on if that makes sense

Dawood Al Omary

The funny thing is that I have already watched their reaction to Do Bong Soon but forgot about it >.> I thought maybe I did, so I searched through their inventory instead of using the search option on the channel, and it wasn't listed there so I thought it must have been a different reaction channel. At least one plus side of my terrible memory is that I can fully enjoy shows when I rewatch them multiple times. That's why I love watching reactions.

Dawood Al Omary

I knew they were gonna have a cameo but that's it. And I was looking forward to watching it because of the lead actress. Too bad it was all over the place. I have heard that criticism from a lot of people. That's one thing I hate about kdramas. Regardless of genre, most tend to switch genres to action before the last few episodes.

Maria

Queen of tears is too good to be saved for later, the drama is straight up heat, and the acting is on point (and I mean it), 8 episodes are already out, the whole series has 16 ep in total, so it's most likely gonna finish early next month

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

Jessica sounds like she understands. One character is not enough to watch. It’s simply an extra point. But yes i loved it’s okay not be okay. I do not care for Goblin while i do enjoy the characters very well. But thats not enough to say they story was great

Cabbage Dynamite

I have seen all of them except Happiness. So I will watch reactions you put out for any of the others. 💖

Maira Lovanne

If timeless, then 2521 for me. It has similar vibe as twinkling watermelon and the plot is much more richer. To keep up with hype and trend, its queen of tears

Inie

Would love to see a reaction to Queen of tears, but if not I would be very interested to see you guys react to Happiness. From what I've seen you all react to, I think it has a plot you'd be interested in. It might take 1 or 2 episodes to get really into but I think it's worth it!

Lulu

Hey man, i know i sound like a broken record but, i wanted to recommend My Mister again. Although it certainly aint a new show but it is a timeless legend among kdramas, i think you guys would like it. But honestly its fine if you guys choose to watch something else, because watever show you guys react to its always so enjoyable to watch! Stay healthy and keep up the great work! 👍

KPK

I have no idea why you guys didn't add Queen of Tears to that list since it's really good so far and the ML is the dude from It's okay to not be okay.

Venus

i just started the show and epsiode 1 didnt really pull me in. ill start ep2 later

nurlyaiiym

Maybe, idk. But, on other channel a lot of people voted for DOTS, and they are going to react to it soon. I can’t wait for this. So, that’s why I said it still has a lot of fans, because the story itself is really interesting.

Inie

Ooh great! Lmk if you like it or if you don't that's totally fine!

Ryuken Fujiwara

I know it is off topic, but I would like to know whether are you interested in doing reaction to Korean Variety Show such as Running Man? https://www.myrunningman.com/guest/726-jennie You can search any celebrities name on myrunningman website search bar at the top right button. (The link above actually have Jennie BlackPink as a guest on Running Man) https://kisstvshow.to/Show/Running-Man Running Man have 43.8 million total views on kisstvshow website. (I prefer using myrunningman website as you can search for specific Celebrities that appeared on the show) If you want to know how popular Running Man is, you can watch episode 134 where they went to Vietnam and you will see why Running Man popular throughout Asia. But I would suggest you watch both of episode 133 and 134 because these episodes are related. As for episode 133 they went to Macau where they challenge their fear of height. International Celebrity: Episode 135 Jackie Chan. Episode 410 Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill & Simon Pegg. Episode 482 Ryan Reynolds. You can refer to Wikipedia for episode guide. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Running_Man_episodes_(2013) As for my personal favorite episode is 271 & 272 (100 Celebrities vs 100 Athletes).

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

A lot of reasoning is from the comment section. It’s only timeless by default of the feedback last post in regards to Queen of tears I don’t expect you to read them but I do. Just like I’m reading this one

Infinite Ree

This drama is criminally underrated. I mean I haven't seen seen anyone react to it even tho it's fantastic

Sal

Beyond Evil is the only I've seen to the end from these. In my top 5 kdramas and I think you guys would enjoy given you enjoyed Flower of Evil

Cocalita

I’m going to be that person. To me, it’s not like Goblin. I often find kdrama fans do this a lot to “sway the votes”. I also remember this criticism from when they did Goblin. It’s not the same. Just say you don’t like it and the reason but making it seem like it’s similar to something you know they don’t like is a common ploy I’ve seen before in other patreons.

squid

You’ve stopped considering pyramid game?

Shinta Rusli

People recommend What's wrong with secretary Kim because of the female lead, since you guys hyped on Marry My Husband. But really, after Death's Game I would recommend Netflix's TOMORROW (definitely no dragging storyline in this series) and then after that check DOOM AT YOUR SERVICE. And to pique your interest in physical action like Bloodhounds, you guys would love VIGILANTE😁

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

I think if you look at the full cage on the catalog you’ll see a fair share of other content we’re currently doing “shop for killers” twinkling watermelon and marry my husband was “worst of evil and revenant” who is In terms of romantic comedy its about 3. Unless you classify all romance as Romantic comedy

Bran Bran

Queen of Tears is really really good. Not since Alchemy of souls have I looked forward to Saturdays. I haven't seen a good one like this in a minute. Whoever titled this show is a freaking genius. This would make for a great reaction.

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

With upmost respect, what’s wrong with secretary Kim has always been suggested. It’s even written on the schedule as a show for consideration

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

They said it will “most likely enter timeless” we gotta slow that down and catch the full sentence. Also i invite their opinion. If folks feel strongly in favor if it for whatever reason. We gotta hear

Shinta Rusli

Noted, sir. Hopefully you would expand your choices. There're so many great shows with different actors and actresses in Kdrama that would be great to introduce to you guys. I'm at a point where I watch a new kdrama and found the storyline (or some of the interesting scenes) I would imagining how would you guys react to it 😂

Jessica

@cocalita i understand if you disagree, thats totally fine. But dont assume things. Im not trying to sway votes, im giving honest feedback about what i think. Lets keep things respectful and not accuse each other of things. We have differing opinions on the comparison, end of story. Its an opinion for a reason. No need for the rest of that.

rytova ar

should have used just romance instead of romcom, my bad. you truly provided us with a lot of different genres there is no doubt on that

raguoc00

To be clear, I think it is time for an actual timeless show like Sec. Kim, Happiness, Fight for My Way, etc. But I also think Queen of Tears should come up soon in the rotation. Perhaps after Shop for Killers, Parasyte, and whatever timeless show they do choose.

Ryuken Fujiwara

I'm sorry for the lengthy post and the instruction. Those are for computer viewing only. You can try to watch on your own to see whether you like the show or not. Not for reaction. Unless if you consider to do reaction to some of Running Man clips on YouTube or some of the episodes listed above, you can watch it on your other channel by yourself like how you do reaction on K-Pop. Well, it is up to you. If you watch it, you will know why I said Running Man is most popular Korean Variety Show ever. Those websites I listed above is fansubbed website. I think this show also available on streaming service that focus on Asian content such as Viki or Kocowa because like Kocowa, it is only available in the US like Hulu so it is not available in my country as I live in Southeast Asia while Viki, it is available in both Asia and the US but for Variety Show like Running Man in Viki website or app, it is only available in the US.

Royal Yaya

I think I'd you like queen of tears it takes some of the typical kdrama tropes and turns them. There's also some great cameos. Also if it can be posted to YouTube it would be a hit for views. Because everything else on the romance list is imo, timeless you can cover this for the hype rn.granted just from the eps I already watched I think this might be a classic once it finishes.

Shinta Rusli

Hotel de Luna is definitely different from Goblin. The story in Hotel de Luna also focus on the hotel's guest, different stories in each episode. Too bad you took it off🥺 Each story is interesting 😁

Cocalita

and this is exactly what I was saying upthread. It's different. But ever since they watched Goblin it keeps getting lumped together and I don't get it.

Anais

Too bad about Mask Girl. It is pretty crazy. I thought I would not be interested too. I don't know why it gives me that Ballerina vibe

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

Honest question since you guys are trying to figure it out and I have never seen the shows. Does the hotel show have Long staring at each other. And long moments in the story where characters are paralyzed with the same decision for like three episodes going back-and-forth. That’s the part about goblin I do not like.

Shinta Rusli

It's not long staring at each other, really. More of bickering and extra tantrums of different characters, especially the hotel's staff. Mainly because the purpose of that hotel and the people in it. And maybe because, again, the different stories of "sub-characters" in each episode that doesn't really make us watch the main characters paralyzed with the same decision for 3 episodes. This is why I would love to see you guys react to HOTEL DE LUNA and TOMORROW. Both stories dwell with passing and afterlife with different perspective. HOTEL DE LUNA is kinda "a rest area" after passing for souls. While in TOMORROW, seen from grim reapers pov that work in an afterlife corporation which deals with accidental and suicidal death souls. Again, both series have different great stories in each episode. Both series have comedy, humanism, drama and of course fantasy. Knowing you enjoyed Death's Game, I hope you would like HOTEL DE LUNA and TOMORROW 🙏🏻😊

Cocalita

For kdramas that all depends on how central the romance is in the story. IMO they are all kind of "stare at each other all day" to me which does get annoying. I don't remember HDL being like that, but mostly because I always felt the romance was not central at all. The going back and forth about a decision thing. Honestly can't remember. Though I find that most kdramas (and cdramas) do tend to beat a dead horse about certain plot points and waste eps. There is a central storyline (hers), but each episode generally centers around a guest at the hotel. I would say if you have time on a whim, watch an ep or two on your own to see if it's your speed and if it isn't, it isn't.

Shinta Rusli

Exactly, central theme of each drama. HDL, TOMORROW, BEYOND EVIL are the example of romance is not their central theme, although is not without romance in it. SECRETARY KIM, CRASH LANDING ON YOU, BUSINESS PROPOSAL are dramas with romance as their central theme, while GOBLIN also although it was wrapped with fantasy of Korean folklore

Cocalita

Agreed. I am at my core a romance girly though so I am not anti-romance choices. I do love Secretary Kim so I am glad it will be watched.

KPK

Understandable! Queen of Tears was hyped up since last year and it's living up to the hype which is why it's most probably a timeless show already.

Snax

I mean, clearly the audience is very different, seeing as how it’s not highly recommended here. What channel is watching it?

Snax

Their international episodes and international celebrity episodes are some of the worst……and their better episodes are the mid to late tens and and early hundreds. They get worse once somi starts.

Snax

I don’t wanna spoile hotel for them in case they ever do watch it, but there is a lot of, how you put it, beating a dead horse….particularly with him trying to figure out if he works there.

Cocalita

It's been some months since I last watched it so I can't remember this part exactly. But I do think IMO all kdramas have these moments, it's just some shows have too much of it. Even Marry My Husband has a couple of parts where I was like, "ok, ok let's move on" and I loved that show and felt it moved pretty quickly. For HDL, I liked the mysteries and backstories of the guests and employees. I am also just a fan of shows with paranormal angles.

Snax

i completely agree with you. while it's not my favorite by far, i do enjoy it. i was just letting you know that your argument for it was actually an argument against it. they don't seem to like many fantasy or paranormal type shows tho, so i'm not sure they would like hdl. i compared it with goblin in that respect. but i loved goblin. i mentioned before, i eat these kinds of dramas all the time. but i stopped recommending dramas because they don't seem to enjoy many of the ones i do.

Snax

i hated it, tbh. the characters all made ridiculous decisions, the writing was kind of all over the place, and the ending was.........talk about a let down. the only positive it had going for it was the acting.

Shinta Rusli

I guess I kinda know they don't like these fantasy or paranormal theme. But I figured they like Death's Game and the humanism storyline in it. That's why I recommend HDL and TOMORROW, because the backstories in each episode in those dramas are really great

nurlyaiiym

Yes, I understand it. But, it was just my recommendation. I think they’ll like it. Idk, will it be okay to say another channel’s name here? I think, it’s kinda rude👀
