I chat about <a href="https://NerdJoy.social/tags/Kdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Kdrama</a> here. A Dutch view on things that I watch and enjoy. No IRL link with Korea at all.alt text profile pic: a bike parked in front of a Dutch windmillalt text header: a still from Dali and the Cocky Prince with the prince walking in between cyclists and colorful houses, which is supposed to be in the Netherlands, but is actually shot on Jeju Island

#kdrama After 2 episodes of #wearealltryinghere I am at a loss of what this is all about??? It feels like the theme is &#39;it is hard being queer in Korea&#39; but I doubt that is the case. I don&#39;t dare to search online what people think this is about bc of spoilers. (Watching this together with partner and he also got that vibe btw) I do recognize a few things from #mymister which is cool.

#wearealltryinghere Ok, things are happening in episode 5. I laughed a lot, so yeah, I&#39;m (finally) into the vibe (digging the Mr Gu coin btw)

If anyone is wondering why I don&#39;t talk #kdrama here as often lately, I went on a sudden trip to Japan, sourcing artisan pottery for a new business adventure and my, oh my, am I enjoying it!! Living with the family of a friend here, I get the full experience. The idea is even for me to drive a &#39;little white truck of small misfortunes&#39; any day soon! #suddenlifegoals

No, this is not an AI image of a house. It is just Belgian.

@hanktank61 @ShaulaEvans @EllenInEdmonton @cinderdazzle612 @KDramaQn Sushi is definitely a thing in IT. It is the most eaten non-it food. I don&#39;t see fusion like in NL, where you can get fried polenta with gochujang or kimchi croquettes in a french style bistro, ha ( my dinner yesterday). However, especially in Milano, I always have the most delicious Asian food. There are so many Asian communities there. It is just that it does not mix.

Whenever I buy one of these imported Korean goods all the way over here, I feel so content being able to support a cheabol son or daughter in buying a designer watch or bag! #kdrama

Autocorrect changes &#39;Hollandse&#39; (=Dutch in Dutch) to &#39;Hollander&#39; and for the first time I feel I understand my machine.

The last event of the fabulous #adramalunies2026 (A big :blobthanks: THANK YOU :blobthanks: to @whoosh for organising this! ) is that I can now announce the results of our &quot;Golden Goblin for best Kdrama of 2025 according to us on the Fediverse&quot; Elections! 20 people voted on 21 titles pre-selected by a bunch of you earlier. 1/N

#ADramaLunies2026 Day 2: Most memorable teen actor. I am awfully bad at knowing who is who, how old they are IRL etc. so I&#39;ll go for a slightly different approach: #thejudgereturns was soo boring, and to watch our 49 yr old #Jisung play a 12 yr old Harry Potter clone made this the most awkward 9 episodes of #kdrama I sat through before dropping it.. Does that count???

@hanktank61 I&#39;ll go for the spicy noodles next time I&#39;m there in Utrecht, then!

#adramalunies2026 Most memorable food or meal? Talking about difficult! Sooo many choices. But I think I&#39;ll go for this late night Ramyeon 🥰 So sweet, so innocent and so... not tropy! #TheEighthSense #kdrama

#adramalunies2026 Most memorable love triangle? Ok, I&#39;ll go for a negative one, that stands for all the #kdrama exes that think they are still in a relationship with someone who has moved on: the endless fluffing around with the ex in One Spring Night!

#adramalunies2026 Best dressed character? Did you copy some of their style? So, that is a clear winner for me, #ninepuzzles Kim Da Mi as Yoon Una was a delight! I called her style &#39;Queer Sherlock&#39; before. Did I copy her? No. I did take a lot of inspiration from #jdrama such as the Japanese version of #Nevertheless

#ADramaLunies2026 Most ridiculous medical treatment? That one goes to #dynamitekiss Out of all the hilarious tropes they swiftly guided us through, the medical issue in one of the last episodes was tooooo much, OMG I laughed so loud!
