K-Drama guilty pleasures that are surprisingly successful globally

Dramas that ranked 1st and 2nd on Netflix globally 

1. Business Proposal

2. King the Land

When the Phone Rings

Business Proposal is high quality compared to others of that genre, while the other two are insanely guilty pleasures.

It means a drama that you watch secretly, but turns out to be a huge hit.

'If a dead body shows up, then call me.'

'Don't let your emotions get involved between us.'

'Do you want to take it off yourself, or shall I do it for you?'

'Tell me. How can I hate you? How can I stop loving you?'

-I can't watch Korean dramas because of the dialogues... It drives me crazy...ㅜ

-One of the most popular Korean dramas overseas is Boys Over Flowersㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Dramas that resonate with real-life situations are surprisingly less popular.

-I guess cheesy, childish stuff works well.

-I like it because I can watch without thinking too muchㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-When the Phone Rings is actually not that cringey for me.

-I didn't know I liked dramas like When the Phone Ringsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I've watched them all, but When the Phone Rings was the most cringey for me.

-When the Phone Rings is so funㅋㅋㅋㅋ I'm watching it because the two lead characters have good chemistry.

-When the Phone Rings is fun, you should watch itㅋㅋㅋ The final episodes are going to be aired this week.

-It's a genre I can't watch...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seeing the subtitles makes my whole body cringe.

-I've tried watching all these dramas but I just... can'tㅋㅋ Well, I'm really grateful that people watch K-Dramas a lot.

-Reading the subtitle of When the Phone Rings is driving me insaneㅌㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

This actor's personal color is the Blue House

 

The human version of the Blue House

theqoo

-I thought it would be Ji Jinhee. Yoo Yeonseok doesn’t fit the Blue House image.

-I can’t relate to this.

-Yoo Yeonseok perfectly fits his role as a spokesperson in this drama.

-No...ㅠㅠ

-I came in thinking of Ji Jinhee or Lee Junhyuk.

-All the actors from 'Designated Survivor' look like they're actually part of the Blue House.

-Why did I think of SHINee’s Minho?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What role does he play that people think he fits the Blue House? Is it a movie?

-He’s too sharp and handsome for the Blue House.

-Celebrities are just... celebrities...

-His face doesn’t say 'civil servant'... All I think about whenever I see him is how much he resembles EXO's Sehun.

-I'm enjoying the drama, but I feel sorry that he's getting unnecessary hate because of this post.

-I thought of Ji Jinhee. Baek Saeon belongs in the Presidential Office.

-I guess it's time for me to rewatch 'Designated Survivor.'

-If we're talking about the Blue House, it's Ji Jinhee or Lee Junhyuk. Yoon Yeonseok fits the Presidential Office more.

Viewers have different opinions on the identity of the actor behind this role in 'When the Phone Rings'

 The character is wearing a mask and only his eyes are visible. So, everyone can only guess.

Viewers debate if it's Kim Wonhoon, Jin Seongyu, etc

theqoo

-Jin Seongyu's gaze is not that normal (Don't get me wrong, I really like him as an actor...)

-Isn't that Park Hyungsik?

-The eyes remind me of Woo Dohwan.

-Who was the male lead in Alchemy of Souls? I think it's that guy.

-I thought that was Park Hyungsikㅋㅋㅋ

-As soon as I saw the pictures, I thought it was GOT7's Jinyoung!

-That's Nicki Minaj.

-It's probably one of the actors in the cast lineup. Do they ever keep roles like this secret when releasing the cast lineup?

-That's Yoo Jaeseok.

-I think that's Tom Hardy.

-Bruno Mars?

-I don't think it's the actors OP mentioned in the post... I know those eyes, they look so familiar.

-Haven't you seen the spoilers?? That's Bruno Mars.

-I can see Park Jisung in those eyes.

-He kinda looks like Kim Wonhoonㅋㅋㅋ

-I think that's Jisung.

-When I first saw the pictures, I was like, 'Park Hyungsik?'. But after taking a closer look, I don't think it's him... Ah, I think I know who it is...

-Kwanghee.

-I think it's Park Seoham.
