One Year of KDRAMA

Here is the Confession of the Month, it was posted on January 30 and had 225 Notes.(Wow, so many notes in just two days, respect!) It’s a confession about Goblin (which is not surprising):

“Goblin was the most aesthetic drama ever”

what you also have to keep in mind when looking at a market that strays from the west, is that kpop in and of itself is a multifaceted entity; in which music does exist, but there are also variety shows, livestreams, weekly live stage performances, CFs, and an entire six weeks of promotional activity directly after an artist’s or artists’ come back where fans are nearly overwhelmed with the amount of content - musical, digital, and physical - that is thrown their way.

kpop is not just a genre of music. it is a culture - and one that revolves heavily around exposing fans to a generous amount of media and content as well as the music that they produce. the appeal of kpop can most definitely come in the form of appreciating the lyricism and masterful production and composition skill that’s certainly there, but as is the case for most foreign fans, we gravitate because of a connection we feel towards the idol or idols, in whatever way that may be. is this not similar to western standom? are you not compelled by your favorite television series’s moving plot, or your favorite character’s endearing quirks?

there is a popular misconception floating around that kpop stans are somehow lesser in intelligence because we listen to music in a language that may not be our native tongue. moreover, it is also a common belief that we don’t have a dialogue pertaining to the musical technicalities of what we’re listening to.

i call bullshit. we are in the Big Year of 2018. subtitles exist, translators are abundant, and duolingo is as free as ever on the app store. the issue a lot of people have is not with kpop itself, but with the notion that something nonwestern has amassed a level of acclamation that - in their eyes - is ludicrous for artists who come from over there, and so you will do whatever you can to discredit both its success and the supporters of its success.

Upcoming Korean historical & Fantasy drama / movie (2017~2018)  # 01

█ Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds (2017 Korean Movie)

Official English Title : Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds

Korean Title : 신과 함께

Period : Present time

Original Work : Korean Web comic Along With the Gods 신과 함께 by Joo Ho-Min 주호민

Director & Writer : Kim Yong-Hwa 김용화 (Mr. Go 미스터고, Take Off 국가대표, 200 Pounds Beauty 미녀는 괴로워) 

Cast : Cha Tae-Hyun 차태현, Ha Jung-Woo 하정우, Lee Jung-Jae 이정재, Ju Ji-Hun 주지훈, Kim Hyang-Gi 김향기

Genre : Fantasy, Action

Release Date : December 20, 2017

When an ordinary firefighter named Kim Ja-Hong 김자홍 (played by Cha Tae-hyun) died on the job, Grim Reaper Kang Rim 강림 (played by Ha Jung-Woo) escorted him to the Netherworld where Ja-Hong should get 7 trials by King Yeomra 염라대왕, the lord of the Netherworld (played by Lee Jung-Jae), in 49 days to find out how he lived his life and where he ought to spend the rest of eternity.

This blockbuster movie is based on the really famous 2012 South Korean web comic of the same name. If you think the story sounds similar to Goblin : The lonely and Great God (2016 tvN), I need to say that Goblin was suspected to rip off the modern bureaucratic systems of Grim Reapers from this famous web comic. I mean this original comic was THAT famous among Korean netizens.

Teaser Trailer (English Subtitle)

As a result, when the first teaser trailer of this movie was released, the enthusiastic fans of the original web comic got upset because…

The protagonist’s job was changed from an ordinary office worker who died from overwork to a firefighter who died on the job.

Jin Gi-Han 진기한, the public defender of the protagonist in the Netherworld (who was the most important character in the original web comic), doesn’t appear in the upcoming movie.

The original comic was a kind of courtroom drama around the protagonist’s journey in the Netherworld, but this movie apparently focuses on CG action scenes all over the screen.

Even though there is great concern that the movie adaptation would ruin the original, it remains to be seen whether this movie will succeed or not on the Korean box office this December.

Anyways, if you are an ardent Goblin fan who is very intrigued by Korean folk religion, mythology, and bureaucratic Grim Reapers, this movie will be a good answer to you.
