Accuracy. The voices need to accurately represent the time period and the people in the true story. For example, if it's set in an old - fashioned village, the accents and dialects used should be appropriate.
One example is 'Reply 1988'. It is based on the real - life experiences and culture of the 1980s in South Korea. The story focuses on the lives of families and friends in a neighborhood, showing their daily interactions, joys, and sorrows. The voice acting in this kdrama also adds to the authenticity and charm of the story.
Another theme is exploring the backstories of the characters more deeply. In the actual drama, there may not have been enough time to fully develop all the characters' pasts. Fanfictions can fill in those gaps, like delving into the character's family history or how they came to be the person they are in the drama.
Another place could be Wattpad. There are many Kdrama fans who post their fanfictions there. Look for the Snowdrop section or do a general search. However, the quality may vary, so you might need to sift through a bit to find the really good ones.
One great Kdrama to watch for a love story is 'Crash Landing on You'. It tells the story of a South Korean heiress who accidentally paraglides into North Korea and falls in love with a North Korean army officer. The chemistry between the lead characters is amazing, and the show beautifully depicts their journey of love across different cultures and political boundaries.
One common theme is unrequited love. For example, in many Kdramas, one character loves another deeply but that love is not returned immediately or at all. Another theme is separation due to external factors like family differences or social status. Just like in some dramas where a rich heir can't be with a poor girl because of family opposition.
One is 'Goblin'. The love between the goblin and his bride is full of bittersweet moments. They face many obstacles like the goblin's immortality and the pre - determined fate that seems to keep them apart at times. Another is 'Scarlet Heart: Ryeo'. The female lead travels back in time and falls in love with a prince. But court politics and misunderstandings make their love very sad and full of heartbreaks.
