Although from different social classes, and holding opposing political views where they each took a different path, their friendship lasted till the end. Brotherly love among friends no matter the consequences or tragedy.</p>
Ronsboy67<p>Drama Recs Challenge Day 23</p><p>For <a href="https://mas.to/tags/DramaRecsChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DramaRecsChallenge</span></a> Day 23 on bsky, I went with the tiptoe kiss from <a href="https://mas.to/tags/KDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KDrama</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/QueenInHyunsMan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QueenInHyunsMan</span></a><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0AWek_4qwY" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=V0AWek_4qw</span><span class="invisible">Y</span></a></p><p> but it was not the 1st kiss I thought of. This one was. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/JDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JDrama</span></a> Our Sister's Soulmate on NF was soft &amp; sweet. This kiss scene imprinted itself for the ML explicitly asking for consent Be.Still.My.Beating.Heart - I'm a total sucker for the rare occasions when consent is sought. Ergo, to ME, this was legendary</p>
Joakim Fors<p>Drama Recs Challenge</p><p>Day 19: Zombies Zombies Zombies!</p><p>There are a lot of good Korean zombie movies and series, but lets go with a happy one :blobcatgiggle: Happiness - A bit of a twist on the zombies, Sae Bom (Han Hyo Joo) is a badass and best proposal in kdrama land.

Since we never find out, I was left craving an S2 . TEN YEARS later, and having watched it FIVE times, I still wish there could be an S2 to explore that mystery. I'd say that counts as an addiction 🤔</p>
