Itaewon Class is perhaps the most defining show of 2020. I’m already happier than I ever imagined I could be.” – Park Sae Ro Yi, Itaewon Class
This line tries to help the character make at least some effort to try and move on, no matter how difficult things may be. This line comes towards the latter part of the show, when things have just gone to hell in basket. This show was as much a legal and fantasy blend, as it was about the lengths people go to, to save their lives. Don’t beat yourself up for too long but never forget what happened.”- Jung Jae Chan, While You Were Sleeping This line is uttered by the key character Woo Joo, after plans don’t seem to work out even after she sacrificed her mental health to work hard. It’s based on the premise of the toxic education system and the pressure on teenagers to excel in academics, this dialogue talking about gaining societal respect rather than a better life, is very hard hitting. Sky Castle is a show that is going to remain pertinent for a good while to come. “I’d thought life would work out if I just did well in school.”- Woo Joo, Sky Castle Words have the power to touch the heart, in more ways than we can imagine. So go through these, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll find a line that will serve as a rock to you during the stormy times. So how about we take a trip down the memory lane and remember some of the memorable lines from some of the best shows that we have seen? Writers intersperse regular dialogues with something deep and meaningful, usually when the viewers are least expecting it. Korean writers have been honing their craft for such a long while, that they know where the interest lies, and successfully play with it. A lot of the genres may blend together here and there, but every show has at least one thing that makes it stand out from others. They have everything from visuals to storylines. For many of us, KDramas are the new (and old) obsession.
