Yay! A chance to get my (hypercritical, rambling-prone) writing juices flowing!
Hmm… I’m sure I’ll have to add to this list as we go, but off the top of my head:
~ Dream Adaptation
Inspired by a conversation I had with a fellow beanie in the comments about our dream cast for a kdrama adaption of Killing Eve. Whether a book, or a non-kdrama film/tv show, what would you love to see adapted to a kdrama format? Who would make up the cast? Would you be like be and put Shin Hye-sun into everything? What changes would you make to the story/setting/etc. to suit the kdrama format?
~ It Should Have Been Gay:
As a bi beanie, other than just a general desire to see more (positive) LGBTQ+ representation in Korean media (and media in general), there have also been a number of kdramas I’ve seen where queerness just. made. sense. Whether because of chemistry, or framing, or narrative sense, what show/pair/character hit you with that sense of missed opportunity (a.k.a. disappointed, but not surprised).
~ Me? Is that you?:
Which kdrama character truly sung to you? That you related to more than any other character before or since? Was it empowering? Traumatising? Did you feel called out? Vindicated? Everything at once?
~ A Thing of the Past
Times are a’changing, and so too are our dramas. What is something that used to be oh-so-common in dramas, that you never see anymore? Do you miss it, and want it back? Or is it something best left in the past?
~ Put That Thing Back Where It Came From or So Help Me
A potential extension on the previous theme; what’s a trope that’s making a comeback, and why should it absolutely not?
~ The Dream Team
You are compiling a team of kdramas to help you… do something (fight aliens? Run a restaurant? Take down a shady conglomerate?). Who’s your dream team?
~ Type Cast
We all know what one actor that has been confined to a specific archetype? Who immediately comes to mind for you?
