Before I saw the drama, I imagined it was something similar Conversely. It is not-Yumi’s cells it’s unique, innovative, and incredibly fun. Each episode was healthy in its own way: Ruby taught Yumi how to be pretty (shoulder spikes? Lobster claws? These lazy killer moves!), Reunites with her boyfriend Goo Woong (Ahn Bo-hyun), is in a love cell in a coma, a stomach cell incredible. a partition diagram that always leaves room for dessert.

5. Squid Game (2021)

Squid Game It was in vogue in 2021. When I first saw it I quickly abandoned it, due to the violence. No kidding, the show gave me some really bloody nightmares. Hip and memes came to me, and I decided to give it another try. It’s violent, bloody, but it’s worth your time. In Squid Game, 456 players with some sort of financial debt decide to play games to win a $ 40 million jackpot. The games are made up of Korean children’s games — such as marbles, honeycombs, hopscotch — but they have deadly endings (literally). Squid Game The ills of capitalism shed light on the growing number of young people in debt, class inequality, economic struggles and migrant labor. As much as I shuddered at the blazing scenes, I was heartbroken by Ali (Anupam Tripathi) for his trust and loyalty. I heartily cheered on the reckless man Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), became angry with the evil Cho Sang-woo (Park Hae-soo), and sank into despair with Kang Sae-byeo (Ho Yeon-jung). The show is arguably one of the best K-dramas of 2021, and its memories still terrify me.

6. Navillera (2021)

Slow burning, after a retired postman Shim Deok-chul (Park In-Hwan) who dreams of dancing. Swan Lake even though he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s before he died, and despite a difficult friendship with a young ballet dancer (Song Kang) who is forced to become a teacher. Navillera it’s inspiring, it causes tears, and it whispers in your ear that dreams have no expiration date.

7. Mr. Queen (2021)

One of the most arrogant current chefs in the Blue House (Choi Jin-hyuk) is found in the body of Queen So-young (Shin Hye-sun) during the Joseon era ruled by Cheol-jong (Kim Jung-hyun). , king and queen. The queen-looking chef tries to flatter her opponents with her current skin care and delicious food (even Joseon-era royal chef is disgusted with a woman in the kitchen) —international cuisine, with a Mc Donalds tour, ramen. Shin Hye-sun steals a show that depicts his two identities: the humble queen and the arrogant man, with his honest dialogue. The resolution of the story was not satisfying, but it promises sweet food to suppress laughter and lips.

8. Move to Heaven (2021)

Inspired by the attempts of former trauma cleaner Kim Sae-byul (things left behind), Move to Heaven it leads us to a world of cleansing loss, mourning, and trauma.

9. Attic (2021)

What to write about Attic! This is for makjang lovers. Think of rich families, art schools, luxury apartments, murders (often in bloody and grotesque ways), rich mother groups, scandals and affairs, secret rooms, and so on. Penthouse has grown in me since its first season. Love it, hate it; You can’t ignore — fucking your ex’s wedding in a helicopter, forgetting some parts of your life (yes, anything is possible) with medications, murdered school children, evil twins, scary housewives, big weddings, shopping — this drama did. I forget that we are in the middle of a pandemic. Still to be seen Attic 3but it is definitely on my list.
