Bored? Want something new? Something exciting or something that will make you feel all the feels? Say no more! Here are the top 7 K-dramas that are a “MUST WATCH" in 2017.
#7. JTBC's Strong Woman Do Bong Soon
Episodes: 16
Release Date: February 24, 2017 - April 15, 2017
Runtime: Fridays & Saturdays
Strong Woman Bo Dong Soon is about a woman with super strength (Park Bo Young) who becomes the bodyguard to an eccentric chaebol heir (Park Hyung Shik). A love triangle develops between them and the woman’s longtime friend (Ji Soo) who is now a police detective on the hunt for a serial kidnapper.
Strong Woman Do Bong Soon was a fun drama that mixed in romantic comedy along with darker crime elements. It has some issues, but with a main couple that will leave you with a cheesy grin on your face episode after episode, they are the reason to watch this drama.
Park Bo Young plays our strong woman Do Bong Soon. She’s so tiny and is about as cute as can be! Park Bo Young really brings this character to life with her comedic abilities as well as being so completely endearing. Bong Soon is an easy character to root for and connect with.
Park Hyung Shik is our eccentric chaebol heir who runs a software company. When he discovers Bong Soon’s ability, he immediately hires her as his bodyguard. Little did he know that he would fall head over heals for her. And if you like a leading man that dotes upon his lady and displays all kinds of cuteness, look no further than Park Hyung Shik!
Ji Soo plays In Gook Doo. He’s a long time friend of Bong Soon’s who she has harbored a crush on since middle school. Now a police detective, he’s on the hunt for a criminal who is abducting young women. And it’s his concern for Bong Soon’s safety that finally brings his feelings for her to the surface.
The love triangle was pretty fun in the drama. I really enjoyed both guys for different reasons. Park Hyung Shik was a lot of fun, and he had a really great rapport with Park Bo Young.
On the other hand, Ji Soo is more stern and fiercely protective. Ji Soo is dramaland’s resident puppy, and I knew going in that it would be difficult watching him realize his feelings too late and end up pining for the girl yet again. Ji Soo! I can’t handle you as the second lead anymore!
But of course, the main thing to get excited about with this drama is the main couple. Park Hyung Shik and Park Bo Young are about as cute as it gets. Min Hyuk falls hard for Bong Soon and boy does it show! He loves her to pieces and is very protective. And Bong Soon compliments him perfectly. If you want to see tons of adorable couple moments, look no further than these two.
There’s also some fun concerning the guys. Min Hyuk and Gook Doo definitely do not get along. This created some particularly entertaining moments during the earlier episodes of the drama typically involving alcohol. I just wish there could have been a better developed bromance between the two.
#6 tvN's Chicago Typewriter
Episodes: 16
Release Date: April 7, 2017 - June 3, 2017
Runtime: Friday & Saturday
If you want something that is related to history, I will recommend Chicago Typewriter. At first you will think that this drama is similar to other history dramas, but to tell you honestly it's not. It is all about writers who lived in the 1930's Japanese occupation of Korea, and are reincarnated into the present as a best-selling writer in a slump, a fan, and a ghostwriter. This drama really shook me and puff my eyes to the nth level. Aside from kilig moments, this drama also has funny scenes that will surely laugh your soul out. Oh! Don't forget the sad scenes. It will also make you cry. I actually didn't like history dramas, but this one gets me. Maybe it's because of the charming leading man (char hahahaha landi). Kidding aside, but it's somehow true hahahaha. It's truly worth it guys! Promise!
