In the hot summer, the best way to relieve the heat is to watch your favorite movies and TV series in the air-conditioned room.
For students, summer vacation is also a rare leisure time, but it has become a problem to review which Korean dramas should be discussed again.
Today, let’s take a look at high-quality Korean dramas worth reviewing during the summer vacation. In order to ensure the quality of the recommendation, the number of Douban scores exceeding 60,000 will be based on it. I believe that it will not disappoint everyone.
, "Juvenile Court"
Broadcast year: 2022
Douban score/number of people: 87/76,000+
This drama is a dark horse work in the first half of 2022, with the theme focusing on sensitive and controversial hot topics in reality - minor crimes.
Douban score once reached 9.2 points, and is currently stable at 8.7 points.
story involves six cases: murder, domestic violence, bullying, college fraud, racing death, and mass sexual assault. The story begins with a terrifying side of a minor criminal. She knows the fact that she committed a crime and says in court that she is protected by law, which is ironic and realistic.
Every two episodes, one case is reflected in the evil of minor crimes, as well as the condonation of minor crimes by parents, society, and even the legal system.
was followed at one time, and after the pursuit, it was still meaningless. At the end, "Juvenile Court" and " Signal ", left new suspense.
, "Please Answer 1997"
Release Year: 2012
Douban Rating/Number of People: 89/120,000+
"Please Answer 1997" is the first work in the "Please Answer" series, starring Zheng Endi , Xu Renguo , Shen Su Rate , Yin Zhiyuan and others. 120,000 points gave the drama 8.9 points.
The drama is set in the Korean idol group H.O.T. and Crystal Boy’s popular Busan , Busan , telling the story of friendship, family and love during the growth of high school girls and friends who were immersed in the idol group.
This drama is not only the "founding hero" of the series of answers, but also the benchmark for domestic youth campus dramas. This drama makes us understand that not all youth campus dramas can resonate, not everyone's youth has abortion and parents have divorced.
If you are a little nostalgic person, this drama is worth revisiting and regaining your own youthful memories.
, "Ah! Because he is a tall man, he is very happy"
Broadcast year: 2019
Douban score/number of people: 9.0/74,000+
This is a comic-style drama, with a Japanese comic style, co-starring N.Flying Captain Lee Seung-hyun , drummer Kim Jae-hyun .
The drama has nothing to do with love, only friendship full of love, developed from the perspective of Kim Nam-gook, a transfer student played by Kim Jae-hyun.
Each episode is not long, and it only takes half an hour to finish reading them all. But it is so short that it can tell a story very thoroughly, with beginning and end, suspense, reversal, and contradiction.
Overall, this drama is not only a cute daily instant noodle anime, but also a super hilarious comedy.
, "My Liberation Diary"
Broadcast year: 2022
Douban score/number of people: 91/69,000+
This "My Liberation Diary" can be said to be one of the most healing Korean dramas in the first half of 2022. The experience of the characters in the play, their helplessness in life, and those lines all hit people's hearts.
After the show was launched, the score has been stable at 9.2 points, but after the finale was broadcast, the score dropped to 9.1 points.
This drama tells the life they need to be liberated from the perspective of the three siblings of the Lian family.The plot is very real, without exaggerated and extravagant urban life, and without domineering workplace counterattacks, the audience can easily find resonance in it.
The whole drama is not mixed with too many novel settings, there is no exaggerated and luxurious urban life, no domineering workplace counterattack, there is only a dull life day after day, and the helplessness that has to swallow your anger for work.
"My Liberation Log" is more like a conversation with one's own heart. This drama tells us that escaping and slandering can bring temporary ease, but life still depends on us to move on ourselves.
, " Romantic Physical Constitution "
Broadcast year: 2019
Douban score/number of people: 92/99,000+
"Romantic Physical Constitution" is a realistic and romantic life urban drama, with 99,000 people giving 9.2 points for this drama.
The whole drama tells the story of three 30-year-old female besties, describing their troubles, love, and daily life.
The whole story is very real and resonates with many viewers. This drama has the magic of smiling knowingly, as if the plots you are watching are your own life.
There are also many classic lines in the play, such as: Is this how people live? With some memories of good times, we will survive most of the difficult times.
Every episode of this drama is full of tears, but it is still funny and humorous. I believe that everyone who watches the drama can find some resonance.
, " The Voice in the Heart "
Broadcast year: 2016
Douban score/number of people: 9.2/110,000+
This is a comic adaptation drama. Because Lee Kwang-soo and Zheng So-min and others starring, the comic content restored in the drama reached 100%, and 110,000+ people gave 9.2 points.
story mainly tells the warm and funny life story between Zhao Shi, who is determined to become a cartoonist, and his family. The story is exaggerated and funny, and the actors also contribute highly skilled performances.
In addition to actors, this drama is even more crazy about the popular film and television variety shows. " Love Letter ", " Please answer 1988", " Secret and Great ", "Veter", "Crazy Max", "Mask King" and so on have been reproduced in the drama.
There are also many familiar actors who have made guest appearances in the play, such as Song Joong Ki , Kim Jong Kook, etc. It’s a pity that "Voice in the Heart 2" became a bad drama after changing roles, with a score of only 4.3 points.
, " My Uncle "
Broadcast year: 2018
Douban score/number of people: 94/130,000+
A super-healing work was released in 2018 and starred by Li Shanjun , Li Zhien and others. 130,000 people gave the show a high score of 9.4 on Douban.
The play tells the story of a middle-aged minister and a 20-year-old young girl who are carrying a mess of life, and healing each other in the process of observing and understanding each other.
The whole play is rigorous in structure, vivid in character portrayal, delicate in emotional expression, from depressed to warmth, progressing layer by layer. Especially when describing the girl and the uncle, the feeling of being invisible and having nothing is very accurate.
As the plot develops, the characters in the play go through the cold winter and into the warm spring. Slowly, there is no worry, only warmth.
More importantly, the details of ordinary life in the play, a greeting or a thank you, can deeply touch the hearts of the audience, as if they see the shadow of everyone's life.
, " Smart Cell Life "
Broadcast year: 2017
Douban score/number of people: 95/210,000+
"Wisdom" series of works have good reputations, and "Wisdom Cell Life" was scored 9.5 by 210,000 people, far exceeding the same type of works.
directed by Shin Yuanhao, starring Park Hae-soo , Jung Kyung-hyun , Jung Soo-jeong , Kang Sheng-run, and Jung Soo-in . The drama is set in prison and mainly tells the story of superstar professional baseball player Kim Ji-hyuk being imprisoned overnight.
Director's portrayal of the characters is very delicate, and the scenes of the whole drama are very gentle. Prison life has made a daily life atmosphere, with peace and contentment. If it weren’t for being locked by the iron door, it would have really made people forget that this is a prison.
Like director Shin Yuanhao's usual style, the drama does not promote the plot and retain the audience through fast pace, but instead slowly captures the audience through delicate plot and the performances of the actors.
At the same time, this drama does not deliberately tearjer or spoof, but uses the most realistic and natural stories to easily touch people's hearts. Such works are worth seeing.
, "Wisdom Doctor Life" series
Broadcast year: 2020-2021
Douban score/number of people: 95/230,000 + 130,000
Like "Wisdom Cell Life", the "Wisdom Doctor Life" series is also written by Shin Yuanhao, and the scores of both seasons reached 9.5 points.
" Smart Doctor Life " is like the middle-aged version of "Please Answer 1988", which tells the lives of five friends from their students from the age of 40.
The plot of this plot is not complicated. Usually, the working hours and the after-get off work hours are the nodes of each episode. It is relatively boring to see a doctor and check the rounds at work. After get off work, they will form a band to practice songs. The overall rhythm is relatively smooth, and if you are not careful, it will become a turnover.
In addition to the extremely enviable fairy friendship of the "five-person group", the whole drama outputs some social issues that the audience can ponder through the stories of one patient and relatives and friends after another.
But unfortunately, such a good drama has been confirmed to not be filmed in the third season, and there are many reasons. Fortunately, the director gave the audience a perfect explanation in the finale of the second season.
Of course, these dramas are just a part of the Korean dramas that are worth watching again during the summer vacation, as well as high-quality Korean dramas such as "Please Answer 1988", "Secret Forest" series, "Signal", "Lonely and Brilliant God: Ghosts", and " Flower of Evil ", such as high-quality Korean dramas.
So, what Korean dramas do you think you should review during the summer vacation?
