Four K-Dramas To Marathon On Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day (February 14) is just around the corner and most restaurants or movie theaters are already packed with reservations. However, a girl's night or an evening in with your crush can provide low-pressure entertainment last minute celebrants.
Korean dramas like "Oh My Venus" and "My Love from Another Star" are chock full of romance, while "A Scent of a Woman" is a tearjerker on par with the seminal Nicholas Sparks hit, "The Notebook."
Here are four K-Dramas that will be available commercial free on DramaFever Live on Valentine's Day.
1. "Oh My Venus"
So Ji Sub (Master's Sun) and Shin Min Ah (My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox) transform the chemistry from their Giordano ads into delightfully steamy goodness for "Oh My Venus."
So Ji Sub is Kim Young Ho, a high-profile Hollywood personal trainer who works under the alias John Kim, before returning to Korea to assume leadership of a conglomerate owned by his family.
During his trip from Los Angeles, he encounters Kang Joo Eun (Shin Min Ah), an overweight lawyer who was once the most beautiful girl in her hometown, Daegu.
She travels to L.A. after she is dumped by her boyfriend of 15-years, who pursues a relationship with Oh Soo Jin (Yoo In Young), a woman who was once overweight, but transformed into a stunning beauty.
Joo Eun approaches Young Ho for help with her fitness journey, after discovering that he is the mysterious trainer, John Kim.
Hijinx arise as Young Ho falls in love with Joo Eun while whipping her into shape, with the help of his friends Kim Ji Woong (Super Junior-M's Henry Lau) and Jang Joon Sung (Sung Hoon).
2. "My Love from Another Star"
Kim Soo Hyun and Jun Ji Hyun catapulted to Hallyu acclaim through the meteoric success of the 2013 SBS hit, "My Love from Another Star."
Jun Ji Hyun is currently embracing motherhood, but she delivered a hilarious portrayal of Cheon Song Yi, a spoiled starlet who becomes hellbent on seducing her new neighbor after he appears indifferent to her charms.
Kim Soo Hyun is Do Min Joon, a seemingly cold-hearted college professor who longs for a woman he fell in love with during the Joseon Dynasty.
Min Joon is actually an alien who unwittingly develops a crush on Song Yi after he assumes the position of her manager.
Shin Sung Rok delivers a chilling performance as Lee Jae Kyung, a conglomerate heir who is driven to silence Song Yi after she witnesses the murder of his girlfriend.
Park Hae Jin (Cheese in the Trap) and Yoo In Na (One More Happy Ending) are an endearing pair, as people who were once sidekicks of Song Yi.
3. "I Need Romance"
The 2011 tvN series, "I Need Romance," is often billed as Korea's "Sex in the City," but the series has emerged as the standard for heart-pounding successors like "Discovery of Romance."
Cho Yeo Yeong (Divorce Lawyer in Love) is Sun Woo In Young, a 33-year-old hotel concierge, who has been dating her boyfriend, Kim Sung Soo (Kim Jong Heon) for 10 years.
In Young accidentally kisses Bae Sung Hyun (Choi Jin Hyuk) and harbors guilt for her actions, before discovering that Sung Soo cheated on her with an actress.
"I Need Romance" is a must-see drama which yielded two compelling sequels.
4. "Scent of a Woman"
"Scent of a Woman" is a 2011 tearjerker starring Kim Sun Ah (City Hall), Lee Dong Wook (Bubblegum), Uhm Ki Joon (Golden Cross), and Seo Hyo Rim (Endless Love).
Kim Sun Ah is Lee Yeon Jae, an overworked but underappreciated assistant at a travel agency. She is diagnosed with a tumor by Dr. Chae Eun Suk (Uhm Ki Joon), following a car accident.
Lee Dong Wook portrays Kang Ji Wook, an heir to Line Travel Agency, the company where Yeon Jae works. He is set to marry Im Se Kyung (Seo Hyo Rim) through a relationship that is arranged by his father.
The drama escalates when Yeon Jae is assigned to work as the guide for a high-profile client, before learning that she has only six months to live.
