A Discovery That K-Drama Has Been To Me.

Let's face it! We are all trapped into our houses and there is really not much to do, at a time like this Netflix has been a boon to us. But lately I started to find Netflix boring as well because things were kind of repetitive for me and I eagerly wanted to find something new. Just then I found a really cool poster of a series which also happened to be a Korean one. Oh yes, I judged a series by its poster. Nevertheless moving on, I clicked onto that poster, which was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I made this lockdown. Now let me start with the fact that you are going to find all the below mentioned series on Netflix and all these series have an IMDB rating of 8 and above. Let me also add that do not be afraid of exploring something new just because it looks alien to you, this has stopped me from missing out on so much great stuff around me, I don't want the same from you. So without further ado let's get started.

Hotel Del Luna:

This was the very first K-Drama that I ever watched and let me tell you it's one of the best in the list as well. Hotel Del Luna which is located in the middle of Seoul is no ordinary hotel. The customers of this hotel are ghosts who have some unfulfilled desires without the realization of which they cannot cross the Samdo river and reach heaven. They live in a state of limbo and this hotel caters to their needs until and unless they are ready to cross the Samdo river. The owner of the hotel Jang Mal Wol is compelled to run the hotel until she accomplishes her own very motive to cross the Samdo river for which she is waiting for the last 2000 years; which means that it is time for the male protagonist to make an entry. The plot of the series revolve around the backstory of the owner Jang Mal Wol and what are the circumstances due to which she is compelled to run the hotel. It also consists of many sub plots telling the stories of some of the hotel guests (ghosts) which takes the excitement of the series to the next level. I would highly recommend you all to watch this series as it has to offer a lot and you will not grow bored out of it.

Crash Landing On You:

Next up the list is this masterpiece. Have you ever considered about the fact that two countries which are presumably enemies could be analogous in many ways. Just like India and Pakistan which share a large part of their culture, language and food and yet are indifferent about it. Yoon Se-ri, who is a business tycoon of  South Korea, literally crash lands in North Korea after she goes for a paragliding session. To her wonder she realizes that she is banged up abroad. She meets a North Korean soldier Ri Jung Hyuk who decides to help her out instead of handing her to the authorities. He disguises her as a North Korean and makes her live in his house as her fiance just when a high ranking officer grows suspicious of her. The story revolves around how Ri Jung Hyuk goes to crazy limits in order to send Yoon Se-ri back to her nation even after he falls for her. The female protagonist also has a hard time going back because of how close she gets to the people of the village she was residing in and to Ri Jung Hyuk. The drama also gives an insight to the lives of commoners in North Korea who are just like the people of any other nation and are living in a stigma. This Drama changes the way you perceive a nation like North Korea.  

My Love From The Star:

This K-Drama is one of its kind and one of the most popular dramas of South Korea as well. Cheon Song-i who is a famous actress stumbles upon this new neighbour who is a very strange and unceremonious man. Later she finds out that he is also the professor of the university she recently got admission into. Being a celebrity, Cheon Song-i gets into trouble quite regularly, however her neighbour Do Min Joon reaches to help her out every time quite mysteriously. She falls in love with him and wins his love back, only when she discovers that he is an Alien stranded on earth from the last 400 years. And he has to go back soon as he won't be able to survive any longer on this planet. Thankfully, a comet will pass earth soon which completes its orbit every 400 years and is the only chance for Do Min Joon to return home where he can live longer. But Do Min Joon is ready to sacrifice his only chance to return home just to spend a few more months that he has on planet Earth with Cheong Song-i. The plot of the Drama is intricate and engages you till the very end as you cannot guess what will happen in the end.
