Welcome to The Pick List. This is the place where i write about the list of my favorite things according to a certain theme. This time the theme is “Korean Drama of 2017”. Listed below may not contain critically best dramas, because i pick them according to my personal taste.
So, here they are my 3 favorite Korean dramas of 2017.
Secret Forest / Stranger (tvN)
The drama tells a story about a prosecutor named Hwang Shi Mok (Cho Seung Woo) who is logical but lack of emotion, together with Han Yeo Jin (Bae Doo Na) investigate a serial murder case and corruption in prosecutor office.
It is a crime thriller drama with a pinch salt of romance. The story is simple yet intriguing and suspenseful. Secret Forest does not let our guard and focus down and it succesfully build and keep the momentum until the end of the series.
Chicago Typewriter (tvN)
Chicago Typewriter is about Han Se Ju (Yoo Ah In), a bestselling writer, who is out of idea and suddenly dreaming about his past life when Korea was under Japanese Rule. He with his ghost friend Yoo Jin Oh (Go Kyung Pyo) and his fan Jeon Seol (Im Soo Jung) together try to uncover the truth about their past life through novel.
The drama offers a heartwarming, beautiful, and interesting story about destiny, dream, and camaraderie that surpasses the boundary of time. The drama has a simple main story, it is just about love, dream, and friendship from two different timelines and lives with the same people and connection.
Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (JTBC)
