There is missing an n...

Meet the two fearless men willing to go to extreme lengths in their pursuit of a serial killer that has shaken up their quiet city: Lee Dong Sik, a once capable detective, is now demoted to perform menial tasks at the Manyang Police Substation. Just as he is beginning to settle into a peaceful life, his new superior, Detective Han Joo Won, is transferred in. Joo Won is an elite detective whose father is the star candidate for the National Police Agency’s next chief. Despite his admirable qualities and high social standing, Joo Won harbors a long-held secret. When a string of gruesome killings occurs, a pattern takes shape that is oddly reminiscent of some cold serial-murder cases from 20 years prior. Dong Sik and Joo Won team up, vowing to stop this vicious culprit in his tracks. As their investigation proceeds, they are forced to look far deeper than what the evidence suggests, questioning the culpability of all those surrounding the case, including their own.

In an era when demons have dominion over cultivators and mortals, the cultivator elders believe it is imperative to send someone back in time to discover the origin of the demon lord and prevent his resurrection. Li Su Su accepts the mission and assumes the identity of mortal Ye Xi Wu, the second daughter of General Ye. She's married to Tantai Jin, the captive prince and future demon lord, and is determined to destroy him, aware that in the future he will come to massacre many. But as witness to Tantai Jin's past life and rise to power, an unexpected tale emerges, one complicating her quest.

In Joseon Dynasty, immaculately dressed in scholarly robes, the young nobleman Kim Sung Yeol lives as a vampire to keep his promise to his friends. When Sung Yeol still was a human, he found out about the vampire Gwi who sits above the King deciding the next royal line and has resurrected as a vampire trying to fight against Gwi. And now, he is living as a guardian vampire fighting against the evil vampire without losing his human nature.

Day 6- Family- It's Beautiful Now
I really enjoyed the family dynamics in this drama
Yes, sometimes some of them were annoying but at the end they all blended into a big loving family

#chinguchallenge
#kdrama

A lot of people skipped this drama, but if you were raised by a single young mom, you may want to check out this family in #NotOthers #KDrama #ChinguChallenge

#ChinguChallenge

Day 6: Family

The first thought and strongest emotional pull was for the family from Go Ahead.

The fathers‘ relationship to each other and to all of the kids is one of the sweetest, most shining examples of unconditional love in any drama I’ve ever seen.

Day 2: Shoutout to #RipeTown, a historical #cdrama, which is not just the first #cdrama I have watched, but also one of the best-constructed mystery dramas too. #ChinguChallenge

Day 6: Family

It’s hard to think of a kdrama with a more touching family-centered story than #MoveToHeaven. The way the family members come together, and apart, and miss each other, and find each other. 💔😭💗

#ChinguChallenge

Day 6: Family

A family from a traditional shinobi clan, struggling to live as normal civilians, resume their ninja duties as they take on a new crisis in #HouseOfNinjas. Action-packed story with a few twists and a good bit of humor. Still hoping for a season 2.

So far behind on this. Sigh.

Day 1: I often like just one song off an OST, but in some dramas, every track is a banger. I often listen to the entire OST from #CrashLandingOnYou, though I’m not the drama’s biggest fan. #ChinguChallenge

Day 4 - Best friendship #chinguchallenge
I’m again trying to plump for things I don’t see suggested as much and I’m going with Dangerous Romance. The friendship between Sailom, Guy and Auto is such a great one and so intrinsic to the shows themes of wealth imbalance and insecurity.

Chingu Challenge Day 6: Family - I am picking Reply 1988 today because I loved all the families in this show so, so much ❤️ #chinguchallenge #kdrama #reply1988

Day 6 of the #ChinguChallenge is favorite family:

I have to go with a #kdrama this time and pick #18Again. Family stuff always gets me straight in the feels. This one made me laugh and made me cry. It's so easy to take our loved ones for granted. #18Again is a beautiful story of second chances.

#chinguChallenge #kdrama Day 5: Fave villain. I cannot tell a lie, it is Jin Mu of #AlchemyOfSouls. I have a strong sense #JoJaeYun had the best fun ever in this role (adore him)--but also bonus Jin Mu love for #DoSangWoo in S. 2 who (in someone else's words) "out Jin Mu'd Jin Mu".

Two men stare intensely at each other - the title of the drama, ‘the worst of evil’ is displayed in white text

DAY 5 - Villain. I prefer stories with complex villains and a notable standout in this vein is The Worst Of Evil, where the MC gets drawn into the antagonist’s world - Ji Chang Wook is exceptional confronting his own darkness in his pursuit of drug kingpin Wi Ha Jin #ChinguChallenge

Day 5: Lots of strong contenders here, but since "found family" is it's own thang, this #jDrama is one of the very best biological mother-daughter Dramas I've seen.

When life gives you tangerines family photo

Day 6 #chinguchallenge Family

I almost choose #Familybychoice because I love found family stories.

But #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines exist. And is not just an amazing love story. It gives us the good and the bad about family. The laughts, the fears and the tears. It's such a beautiful #kdrama.

Day 3: modern romance

I will always recommend #HerPrivateLife. I’m in love with them, they’re my parents 😭
Can’t forget one of my firsts #RomanceIsABonusBook
#TheOathOfLove & #TheBestThing took my breath away
#LearningToLove was such an amazing surprise

#kdrama #cdrama #jdrama #chinguchallenge

Day 5 - Villain: Park Gye Won played by Jang Hyuk in Bloody Heart
Literally one of the best written antagonists in kdramas
I loved every single scene of his

#chinguchallenge
#kdrama

Day 2: historical drama

One of my first ever drama was #LoveInTheMoonlight
Loved underrated #RookieHistorian & #TheTaleOfNokdu
Binged and couldn’t take my eyes off of #PursuitOfJade #WrongCarriageRightGroom & #DominionAndDevotion

#kdrama #cdrama #chinguchallenge

Day 5: Villain

The villains of #Karma face the consequences of their greed and vicious cruelty as their tangled story, full of twists and turns, slowly unravels. Engaging non-linear storytelling. Dark and haunting. Amazing performances by a star-studded ensemble cast.
