Maternal bonds come in all forms and shapes and you don’t have to meet at the womb for a mother-child relationship to count. It’s the person who supports you emotionally and brings you a bowl of fruit when you’re studying late at night. It’s the person who yells at you for being unreasonable but yet covers you up in a blanket when you fall asleep on the couch. 

Here are 5 unconventional but loving maternal relationships that’ll remind you of the comforts of that special queen in your life. 

Seo-yeon and Young-sook get twisted in a landline conversation spanning 20 years apart in The Call. While both have their own grievances with their mothers, this thriller makes you wonder what you would do if you could change the past to protect your future. 

Cha Joo-Eun and her mother Kim Mi-Sook are leading private lives on the edge as they stick together to survive the twisted world they are in. This mother-daughter duo sticks together despite their differences showing us that blood is thicker than water. 

Seo Dal-mi’s grandmother, Choi Won-Deok, stands as her main support system after the departure of her mother. From commissioning penpal letters to entertain her granddaughter to providing her emotional council, granny knows just the right thing to comfort the apple of her eye.

Moon Gang-tae and Moon Sang-tae are two brothers who learn that they’re stronger when bonded together. They both have different relationships with their mother, however, it's no secret that her sacrifices were worth it in the end. It’s Okay to Not Be Okay has shown us both the ups and downs of family and that at the end of the day, no one else will fight harder for you than family. 

Record of Youth shows us how a family can intertwine with the repercussions of fame but shows us that at the end of the day, the people you hold closest are always the top priority. The relationship between Sa Hye-jun and his mother is an admirable one as she fully supports her son despite criticism from the wider family, proving that motherly love in a sea of doubt can be a source of power for the aspiring actor. 

One reason why we love K-dramas is for the fantasy-like escape from our daily lives and troubles. While we know that it’s far from reality, it’s still fun to imagine a world where love transcends time, we have unlimited riches at our disposal and a partner in crime who can also help us recharge by holding hands. As you countdown to Christmas, let our ultimate K-drama wishlist guide your year-end K-drama fantasies. 

K-dramas are literally rich with chaebols. Chaebols are people whose families own large conglomerates, so they’re super affluent. Having an extremely wealthy boyfriend or girlfriend would mean lots of expensive presents and special events. Some favourites include Lee Young-jun (Park Seo-jun) from What's Wrong With Secretary Kim and Yun Se-ri (Son Ye-jin) from Crash Landing on You. With a well-to-do partner, you can have your heart’s desire!

Speaking of rich, why own a house when you can own a castle? Many loaded characters have luxurious homes, but a castle is definitely the grandest option. Kim Shin (Gong Yoo)’s castle from Guardian: The Lonely and Great God is especially majestic. Plus it comes with handsome roommates Kim Shin and the Reaper (Lee Dong-wook)!

Wouldn’t romance be less complicated if you knew who liked you? The Love Alarm definitely has its pros and cons, but it would be very interesting to try out. With the app, you would easily be able to find out if you have any admirers within a 10-meter radius. No more second-guessing anyone’s feelings, so you can focus on love.

Manpasikjeok, a magical flute from The King: Eternal Monarch, made time travelling across parallel universes possible for Lee Gon (Lee Min-ho) and Jeong Tae-eul (Kim Go-eun). When used with proper caution, you can see all the different versions of yourself living in various parallel universes. You could be a celebrity in one world and a pilot in another. Furthermore, it’d be heartwarming to see loved ones who passed away one more time.

There’s plenty of enviable automobiles in K-dramas. However, it is especially satisfying when we see Sa Hye-jun (Park Bo-gum) drive a luxury car in Record of Youth. Sa Hye-jun is a kind underdog whose success you can’t help but root for. So it’s nice to see him so gleeful when he gets to drive a supercar. Wouldn’t you like to take such a nice car for a ride? It would be even better if you could drive with a handsome Park Bo-gum!

Stranger is a suspenseful crime thriller featuring an impassive prosecutor and a gutsy detective. Some of the conflicts involve a major conglomerate Hanjo Group. In the second season of the series, we see Hanjo Group’s vault with enormous piles of cash. If you had a personal stash of cash like that you’d be able to buy a castle, a supercar, and then some. 

In addition to the characters and stories, fashion can be a key element in a good drama. There are many enviable wardrobes in the K-drama world, but Hotel Del Luna and It's Okay to Not Be Okay are some recent shows with super gorgeous outfits. Jang Man-wol and Ko Mun-yeong are fierce fashionistas with impeccable wardrobes. Imagine opening your own closet to exquisite designer pieces tailored just for you.

Hong In-pyo (Nam Joo-hyuk) is a handsome source of energy for Ahn Eun-young (Jung Yu-mi) The School Nurse Files. While we might not want to battle jelly monsters on a daily basis, it would be lovely to have a cute personal power bank that looks like Nam Joo-hyuk. Get a boost of energy by holding hands with your good-looking human battery charger.

The main casts of Netflix upcoming Korean drama 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay' attended the public press conference held in Seoul this afternoon and fans were able to watch it via V Live. Soon after, Kim Soo Hyun and Seo Yea Ji joined the private media conference and we were glad to be part of it, virtually. Kim Soo Hyun gave his thoughts returning to the small-screen after military service while Seo Ye-ji shared her preparation for the character.

The fantasy-romance drama 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay' centres around the unusual romance between two people who end up healing each other’s emotional and psychological wounds. Check out what the main cast said during the virtual media conference held this evening!

Seo Yea-ji (SYJ): The director is very talented so I had no choice but to join the show. Also, the partner is Kim Soohyun and I’m sure every actress would love to act alongside him. 

Kim Soo Hyun (KSH): After reading script I had a heartache, but I wanted to challenge myself to act the role. 

KSH: Seo Yea-ji is very comfortable as a person, but when she’s acting as Ko Mun-yeong she is extremely focused. I get energy and stimulation; I’m studying thanks to her.

SYJ: I feel comfortable when I’m around Kim Soo-hyun like he also said, but when we’re acting he gets absorbed into his role. He gives me energy and helps me, so he was similar to my first impression.

KSH: I am physically stronger and have grown better (in terms of acting) after military. Viewers who have seen my work prior to this drama will notice the difference.

SYJ: Ko Mun-yeong has a witch-like character. (I think) my low voice and witch-like aura allowed me to play the role. I learned new things about myself through the eyes of others. 

KSH: This is my first piece of work after military and I am very nervous. During military, I had a strong thirst to appear on screen and act again.

SYJ: I did research and studied on characters that have antisocial disorder. Then, I realised Ko Mun-yeong has a unique character that expresses her inner-self through clothes/fashion.

KSH: I have to behave like the older brother when I'm with Sang-tae but when I'm in front of Ko Mun-Yeong, I behave like a child.

'It's Okay to Not be Okay' is set to premiere on Netflix on 20 June at 9.30PM, airs every Saturday and Sunday.

Famous for her dark stories, Ko Mun-yeong has an anti-social disposition and a penchant for sharp knives. She finds Gang-tae intriguing and similar to her despite their very different personalities. Gang-tae also finds her gaze similar to someone he used to know. The pair help each other overcome past trauma and struggles, resulting in a unique love story befitting a dark fairytale.
