Content

I've read your feedback, and as you may know, I've started a Kdrama channel: YaBoyRockLee Kdrama Channel. It's already dealing with copyrights, but it's fine. When I have 3 copyright strikes, I can't upload videos, but I can usually fight them and win after 15 days. However, that stings as you lose momentum and views overall. Having it as a separate channel takes the sting out from the overall YaBoyRockLee Channel if TVN is going to be like this more often.

This will be the 3rd Kdrama slot added, and I ask for patience in their release. Since they're unpopular within the community, I can't give them priority uploading. It's crucial they are supported on YouTube for us to continue reacting to the series.

Look, guys, this is a reaction channel, but it's also a creator business. Recording videos that make the most people happy just makes sense. But, like any business, you have niche products to keep your overall customer base happy and not fleeing to the competition.

I like Kdramas very much, and while I can always watch these unpopular shows with my wife, I want to see if they can work here. (My wife and I are currently watching The Double, which is a Chinese drama. EPIC BTW... them folks be flying)... lmao. For it to work, the views have to justify the time recorded versus other shows. Simply put, Strangers From Hell is doing better than The Bear and rivals HOD and The Boys. So, I see a world where adding thrillers and suspense shows makes sense, even for a smaller audience drowned out by the romantics.

Suggest shows HERE ON THIS POST that are suspense, thriller, horror, and NOT romance as the main element. This is why I asked you NOT to spam suggestions, so I can properly read the feedback and make adjustments for everyone.

 We'll start one of these after finishing Cobra Kai and The Bear, as I'm SWAMPED with our backlog.

I've seen both dramas and they are amazing, so I hope Lee, Adorkable and Director enjoy it!

A

I really appreciate all the kdrama content, I joined the patreon for Marry My Husband (starring my rom-com GOAT Park Min-Young) Also for suspense/action Kdramas: is this a chance for Healer?

A

Additionally, I loved the double, my first cdrama in a long time. I also recommend The Princess Royal which just concluded as a similarly epic cdrama about characters coming back from death to right wrongs etc.

Cocalita

I’m starting The Double this weekend! I’ve heard really good things.

Pretty Doll

Yesssss the double is amazing, the best costume drama so far this year.

THRILLER AND HORROR RECO: 📌While you were sleeping -she can see visions thru her dreams 💯💯💯 📌 Mouse (plot twist upon plot twists!) - notorious psycho killer on the loose 👀 📌Big Mouth - lawyer caught up in a murder case and ended up in jail 📌Revenant - protagonist that is possessed by demons 📌Black - protagonist has a third eye and can see when people are gonna die 📌save me -a girl involved with a cult -female lead here is the one from it’s okay to not be okay 📌W (2 worlds) - when webtoon merge with real life 🤘🏼 📌Ghost Doctor - this one is amazing 😭😭

"Simply put, Strangers From Hell is doing better than The Bear and rivals HOD and The Boys. So, I see a world where adding thrillers and suspense shows makes sense, even for a smaller audience drowned out by the romantics." Facts, the romance crew been eating good, now we gotta feed the suspense/thriller base, that’s why I mentioned a palate cleanser between the last couple shows and you get better coverage. Shows like Healer, Signal, Stranger, Mask Girl, Watcher, Happiness, Vagabond, Beyond Evil and Mouse would all be great picks

A

Hopefully, we can get more than 14% of people to vote for it this time!

Shay

Missing : The other side (Thriller ) is the only one I can think of right now cause I'm half sleeping but I will be back with more ~

A

Maybe you can drop a review on Youtube? I haven't watched any cdramas since 2019 and this is the show that brought me back into the fold, would love to see your take on it when you're done. I've already assumed who your favourite character is, and I am on your side in terms of the evil/toxic characters in the double being the best.

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

Review sounds dope. My favorite is the Duke who rolls around with 2 Warriors and he bodies people with his fan and flys around 😭😭😭

IGot7 J.M.J.P.C.B.K.

You are currently watching the double???? It’s cool right? I finished it already and enjoyed it, I recommend “who rules the world” next for you or you and your wife to watch on your spare time…… has a lot of action scenes and………. THEY BE FLYING A LOT THERE TOO !!!!!!! 😂

A

Sounds good! I hope you enjoy the rest of the show! Shocking, but maybe not so shocking. He lives for the drama, which I love. And probably not a consideration for you, but he's also one of the most beautiful men I've ever seen. I'm shaken every time they do an intense close-up on his face.

Andre

You should definitely do a review on the double like you did on Lovely runner when you finish it. I haven't seen a fire C-drama in a while, but C-dramas like Nirvana in Fire, Bad Kids and The Rise of Phoenixes rival top tier K-dramas 🔥🔥 I'll check out the Double

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

I dont comment much but i prefer good looking people in general. If its a man, i live vicariously through his success lol. My wife loves him too. But yeah. He is always enticed by the smoke and he likes a strong intelligent woman. What a character.

Genevieve

Shows that are NOT romance: Happiness (해피니스 - 2021) - Mystery/Thriller Big Mouth (빅마우스 - 2022) - Mystery/Thriller Signal (시그널 - 2016) - Crime/Suspense Taxi Driver (모범택시 - 2021) - there's 2 season, which is a downside. A Bloody Lucky Day (운수 오진 날 - 2023) - Crime/Thriller Live (라이브 - 2018) - Crime/Drama

A

If your wife wants to feel old too, let her know the actor was born in 2002!

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

You probably expecting the evil princess that started all this. I do really really like her. But the actual Male and Female lead protagonists are thuggin enough

Martine

Yes! Looking forward to some suspense: Happiness: It’s studio dragon so not many reactions out on youtube, but I saw a few channels (much) smaller than yours which had about 22-37K views on the first episode. Also, it did pretty well on one of the previous Patreon polls. Of course there is some romance, but it’s not the main plot, I don’t want to spoil anything by saying more. (2021) Tomorrow: by Studio N, not many reactions out on yt, found a small channel get 8K views on the first episode. Google says it’s fantasy, I find it hard to classify: wouldn’t call it thriller or horror either, perhaps psychological… idk. (2022) Big Mouth: also studio dragon, couldn’t find any other reactions on yt either no one has tried it yet or they have been copy striked. Genre: crime. I thought it was pretty popular when it came out (2022). Looking forward to whatever you choose! I’ll keep my romance suggestions to myself for now 🙃

Saffiyah

I would recommend My Mister or Reborn Rich for really good k-dramas, there is a small element of romance in each of these but it is not the focus of the story at all. The Rise of Phoenixes is an amazing C-Drama I would defo recommend, though probably a bit long for a reaction looll

I liked Vagabond when it was airing but the show left the story massively incomplete and never got another season so didn't want them to experience the same blue balls

Pastel Soda

I joined patreon specifically cause of the Strangers from Hell reactions so I'm glad it's doing well with views. It helps that there aren't a lot of other people reacting to it and you guys were great the whole way through lol. Glad you're delving into cdramas they have a lot to offer

Andre

Good news is both Vagabond and Signal are returning for a second season

Alex Turnbull

i joined before for Itaewon Class and now again because of Strangers from Hell. Though I'm hoping for Whats Wrong With Secretary Kim, I would love to see some of these shows below that arent romance, not all of them are specifically thrillers but still very intense stories: Taxi driver Big Mouth Tomorrow (very great show extremely underrated) Black Night Flower of Evil Vigilante Ive also heard Mouse is very good its on my list to watch.

Ash Jamil

Idk why am I the only one who couldnt get into hotel del Luna 😭 no hate just my opinion!

strange& sleepless

My mister would be my first choice! It's from 2018 and has 16 episodes. It's a pretty dark show but it's unlike any kdrama you've seen so far. Other than that, Save me is also good it's more thriller and suspense.

I'd love for you to watch king of pigs mouse the red sleeve they are top teir

Cocalita

I like Who Rules the World, but I have a minor beef with it. In the end it doesn't matter because Zhao Lusi is one of my faves.

Cocalita

Nirvana in Fire has to be one of THE best C dramas ever! I've seen others that come close, but man, that show is so damn good. It had me up in the middle of the night binge watching it. I actually just watched it this year. I've seen lots of other C dramas but my sister convinced me to watch and it definitely lived up to the hype.

Snax

If you’re in to cdramas, I would recommend 10000 miles of peach blossoms aka eternal love. It’s one of the best costume dramas and stories out there. I rewatch it every year.

Doyoungismyult

Begging for “Welcome to Waikiki”. It is one of the funniest kdramas of all time, and very well loved. 😂

JazzJams

I agree! I think My Mister would be a great Kdrama to add more variety in what they have already reacted to thus far.

Cocalita

Romance is usually my bag, but here are a couple of that I liked that don't have romance as the primary plot. 1. Why Her? 2. Behind Your Touch (I like W and He is Psychometric, but not sure if they fit)

Name

Mouse

Royal Yaya

A thriller i thoroughly enjoyed even though there was little romance was Big Mouth. I think that was the first comment I had ever posted after joining your patreon.

IGot7 J.M.J.P.C.B.K.

Ikr! These Chinese period dramas seem to get their inspirations from Romeo and Juliet 😂 they like tragic love stories 🤦🏽‍♀️

Mimi

whats wrong with secretary kim is not a great kdrama imo. I did watch it but could not finish. Hotel del luna was better and more interesting story

Mia

Happiness (Viki) Vagabond (Netflix) Vigilante (Hulu) Tale of the Nine Tailed (Viki) There's also 2 dramas that I know you'd like but I'm not sure how popular they are on YouTube so maybe its something you could check out on your own: Bulgasal: Immortal Souls (Netflix) Arthdal Chronicles (Part 1, 2 & 3)(Netflix) Both of these shows have romance as a subplot and focus more on the stories of the main leads and feature mythical creatures. They're both rated highly on the "mydramalist" website, as are the other 4 dramas I mentioned earlier!

Just_iny333

Vigilante Beyond Evil Happiness

@NicaSU97

Just started watching Bulgasal: Immortal Souls yesterday and I only have 3 episodes left to watch and I think it's an amazing fantasy drama and has an interesting take on grudges and revenge. I love all the characters, even the main villain, he's bad but I somewhat get why.

Leo

I enjoyed original secretary kim manhwa very much

Mitha

Big Mouth was really great.

Sallie Andrea

Secretary Kim isn’t a bad drama but there is nothing unique about it

Andre

Yeah Nirvana in Fire is the best C-Drama in my opinion, just straight 🔥🔥 amazing cast and story. If you liked it that much I would recommend Six Flying Dragons to you - a K-drama that is equally great

Melinda

Penthouse, Vagabond, Reborn rich and The Last Empress

Marvelous JJ

Tomorrow! Also a really great show that is not focused on romance.

Cocalita

I'll check it out. Oddly enough I probably haven't seen as much Korean dramas in that genre because the Chinese dramas have me in a chokehold.

Im Jubal

Mouse 🙌🏾

Narutofreak94

lol Secretary Kim is fun. Reminds me of Suspicious Partner

DayGoBah

The Guest is a pretty good horror kdrama. Check it out! Also it has zero romance lol

Sal

- Signal - Beyond Evil - Vagabond - Sky Castle - Stranger /Secret Forest (Shin Hyesun has a role 👌) (2 seasons) - Voice (4 seasons but the S1 by itself is great) - Kairos (underrated) - Taxi Driver (2 seasons) - Heartless City (old but gold)

Sal

Black Knight was done as well. Don't think they liked it as much

kenef

If we want to get away from romance: - Atypical Family (has some romance but it's not the core driving force of the show IMO) - Little Women - Military Prosecutor Doberman - Stranger

Keziah

MOUSE for the thriller/suspense type suggestion

Charles

- My Mister - Sky Castle - Beyond Evil - Mouse

Melany Castillo

My mister is a good one. It is a psychological drama with tragedy but is very beautiful.

Malakish

My Mister is on Netflix ( studio dragon). There are 16 episodes, each lasting around 70 minutes. It’s a masterpiece that you really shouldn’t miss. Many reactors on Patreon were surprised by this drama and loved it 🤍

Marvelous JJ

Another one came to mind when it comes to action - Gyeongseong Creature.

Deadpool

Stranger/Secret Forest!!! (Crime thriller)

Deadpool

Backing up the Stranger/Secret Forest pick and Signal, Voice.... I might check the ones here I don't know, thanks!!!

Happiness is really good. Big mouth. Also just a side idea. Maybe try and see which dramas people aren't reacting too aswell. What I mean is focusing on this one genre will run out eventually but there are a ton of really good and decently big dramas with almost no reactions on YouTube. Not sure if it's cause they are older and people are just trying to keep up with the newer stuff. But Healer is a action romance that is a pretty big show and I can't find a full season reaction same for K2.

Faxe11

Healers a good one cause its a big name drama imo but had nearly no reactions.

Shoua Hang

are you guys planning to react to chinese dramas? cause i wanna see your reactions to The Double!
