Hey guys 
!
This might be a little weird, but could someone help me out with a question I have 
?
When typing out an actorâs name, how exactly should I write it? I usually write like this; Seo Kang Joon, because thatâs what Iâve seen in actor profiles. However, I have seen in other places that names are said like this; Seo Kang-joon.
Is there a right or wrong way to write Korean names, or is it just personal preference?
Hope one of yâall can answer this question for me 
!

Hello !
From what I know, both spelling are correct, itâs really personal preference.
Sometimes itâs a letter which changes because they both sounds alike, (exemple : Park Hyun Sik / Park Hyeon Sik / Park Hyun Shik or Song Joon Ki / Song Joon Gi and thatâs just a few 
).
So thereâs no right or wrong way, romanization is just a complicated things yet very helpful, lol.
Hope I helped ! 
Thanks for the help, @moreenke 
!
I guess Iâll just figure out which way is more natural for me, and use that way

There is no âone rightâ spelling of Korean names. Romanization standard keeps changing and no one can keep up with it. Sometimes it can be personal preference and other times, itâs written like that by an agency and Iâm not talking about just the entertainment agency. So Seo Kang Joon could be spelled like Suh Kangjoon, Seo Kangjoon, Suh Gangjun, Seo Kang-jun, Suh Gang Jun, Kangjoon Suh, etc.
Iâve seen some Koreans in Korea using the hyphen in between the two characters of their first names, such as âKang-Joonâ but most Koreans who live overseas do not use hyphens.
Hello @ajumma2 !
Woah⊠Thatâs overwhelming 
. I guess I should spell names however I prefer them 
. Just wanted to make sure that either way was alright 
.
Thanks so much for the explanation!

Hey guys 
!
I hope everyone is having a productive day 
While this isnât quite in the vein of this discussion, I wanted to start a conversation about the BBMAs last night 
.
As Iâm sure many of you know, the Korean pop group, BTS, was nominated for the Top Social Artist Award, and flew over to Las Vegas to walk the magenta carpet and attend the award ceremony.
The category they were nominated for was won by fan votes, and BTS came through with almost 300 million votes 
!
Other artist nominated for this award were Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, and Selena Gomez.

This is such a huge step for K-pop, and Iâm so proud of our boys for winning! They work so hard, and deserve this and more. Even more people know the name BTS now, and I hope that this will provide them an opportunity to spread their influence even further 
.
Hwaiting, BTS

Well if Viki would be so kind to get some more licens I propbably would watch moreâŠbut at the moment there are only like 3 dramas running in my cĂłuntry âŠ2 are Chinese and 1 is Korean. I donât know what the reason is? Last year they had like 2 to 3 K-dramas running each weak âŠin addition to that some Chinese as well. But for 4 month or so now I get Showbusiness related TV shows and such Nonsens -.-. At the moment I just take what they can deliver but until a few month back I never had the actual need to watch all those Chinese dramas on Viki âŠsorry but Iâm just frustrate with Viki at the moment. 
Welcome to the discussion, @kumi_759 !
Gosh⊠Iâm so sorry that youâre having such a hard time on Viki 
. I know how much it can suck when youâve been looking forward to watching something but canât find a place to watch it 
.
Hopefully Viki will get a lot more dramas available in your region soon!

Episodes 1-2Hey everyone !
I just got around to watching the first two episodes of the new KBS drama, âFight My Wayâ starring Park Seo-joon from Hwarang and Kim Ji Won from Descendants of the Sun, and I am completely delighted 
!
As yâall know, I didnât have very high expectations for this drama, but Fight My Way is quickly becoming one of my favorite dramas of 2017 
. The main characters are absolutely hilarious, and their interactions make it so easy to ship them 
.
Whenever you guys get around to watching Fight My Way, keep an eye out for the comments I made in episode #2, and let me know what you think of the drama so far .

Best dramas in the world must belong to Tvn drama. I watch Tvn for years but it rarely makes me disappointed (except for Reply 1994, a little bit but not too much). Hereâs my list:
If that is his legal name, the right way is however he spelled it on his passport.
@ajumma2 my name is hypenated!
Welcome to the discussion, @trangle8507 !
There are some great dramas on your list, and also a few I havenât watched yet . Iâll have to check them out .
For me, Queen In Hyunâs Man was one of the first dramas that had me hooked, so Iâm super happy to see it on your list 
I hope you continue contributing to the discussion !

Hey guys !
Hope youâre all looking forward to some fun weekend plans (Iâll probably be watching dramas and swimming in the pool 
)
I just finished binge-watching a drama and I wanted to check up on everyone while updating yâall on my favorite series right now .
âBecause of Meeting Youâ is the drama I have been watching these past few days, and let me tell you; it wasnât easy sticking it out for 56 episodes 
.
Iâve become accustomed to the K-drama way of having 16-20 episodes per drama (excluding some historical dramas), so when I saw that this Chinese drama had a whopping 56 episodes, I was understandably intimidated.
Iâm glad I continued watching it though, because it was really good!
Of course, there were some aspects that I wouldâve liked changed, but overall it was a great watch!
The leading couple was absolute goals, and now I find myself with an even higher expectation for my future husband .
As much as I enjoyed âBecause of Meeting Youâ, my favorite drama at the moment is actually (surprisingly enough) âFight My Wayâ 
.
I find myself looking forward to the new episodes more than any other drama, and when thereâs finally a new one, it flies by before I know it.
If you havenât already, I highly recommend you check it out!
Keep me updated on your thoughts !

Have you ever watched âThe Perfect Matchâ and âMasked Loverâ? Are Taiwanese dramas fit your taste? These 2 are improving comparing to Taiwanese drama I used to watch in the past.
Do you see my collection about tvN drama?
What are your favorite genres?
Iâm ashamed to say that I have not watched âThe Perfect Matchâ or âMasked Loverâ at all 
.
I had heard of them, of course, when they were on the Viki homepage, but I never started either of them.
My experience with Taiwanese dramas has been very limited (I think the only one I even started was âMurphyâs Law of Loveâ), so I honestly canât say whether theyâre to my taste or not .
My favorite genres⊠I would say that a good romance/comedy is probably my favorite thing to watch, so maybe that? I also really like watching high school dramas, but I feel like maybe Iâve already watched all the good ones 
. If you have any recommendations, let me know!
I looked at âThe Perfect Matchâ and âMasked Loverâ, and Iâll probably end up checking out some episodes of âMasked Loverâ this weekend .

Great list, I love that you have âChicago Typewriterâ at number 1 thatâs where I place it also. I watched the final last night and I have to say it was excellent in every way. Iâve watched all the ones on your list and I love TvN productions. My all time favourite before âChicagoâ was âItâs Ok thatâs loveâ so I had to ask myself was I happy replacing it at the top of my all time list so now Iâve decided to have two at the top. Going to be very hard finding one to watch now that would be anywhere near as good as these two. Many enjoyable enough but let me down with their finish so on now to find one worth the time one has to invest in following.
You should watch Hwarang⊠It also has Seo in it and a bunch of other hot actors and he is the lead male with long hair since it is a historical drama but does have comedy too
@erinbussert_740 @bookwormlula Hwarang is not a bad drama but watching the first three (or more) episodes is enough to find that interesting. Itâs not a kind of drama who catches your attention at the first episode.
Do you watch âSister Is Aliveâ yet?
I actually watched Hwarang while it was airing
