Due to the COVID-19, lockdown and social distancing have been required to prevent the virus from infecting more people and help flatten the curve. The pandemic has also taken a toll on South Korea's entertainment industry, which leaves no choice for fans to rewatch their idols' past performances, stream their songs non-stop, and wait for updates online as they can't see them in the flesh.
For instance, EXO was supposed to meet their fans in the Philippines through Nature Republic's fan meeting, but it was canceled for safety reasons. But fret not, EXO-Ls (and future fans)! While K-dramas are your only companion while stuck at home, here's a list of movies and series, starring our very own EXO members, that you can watch and, at the same time, feed your fangirl/fanboy's heart!
1. 100 Days My Prince
Starring Do Kyungsoo or D.O., this drama will surely make you laugh, cry, and fall in love as he plays the role of a prince who disappeared and comes back after 100 days. If you're curious as to what happened to Lee Yeol (D.O.), then check this out now!
2. Student A
Suho is indeed a versatile artist! A movie released last 2018, Suho's role as Jae Hee will always be memorable as he spends his days with the main female character Jang Mi Rae (Kim Hwan Hee), who is an outcast.
Do you want to receive free hugs from Suho as well?
Meanwhile, the leader of the band also starred in the short film "The Present," a project of Samsung, in 2019, which can be streamed on YouTube.
3. Andante
Kai is not only one of the best dancers, but he can also act. If you are looking for a short Korean drama that is simply beautiful that tackles love, friendship, family, and heartbreaks, this is the right one for you, not to mention that you got to see another side of Kai as well!
4. So I Married an Anti-fan
Can you imagine yourself marrying Chanyeol? If not, then you can watch this hit Chinese movie starring EXO's Happy Virus. Playing the role of an idol himself, you got to know the hardships of idols on and off-cam, as well as how they deal with anti-fans.
5. Unexpected Love
Another Chinese movie starring f(x)'s Krystal Jung and Lay, you will laugh and feel the love through this film! Set to be released in 2020, "Unexpected Love" is a rom-com movie that will surely make you become passionate about love and reaching dreams as well.
While waiting for this movie, head over to other Chinese dramas starring the EXO member, such as "The Golden Eyes," "Operation Love," and "Ming Dynasty," and to his films "The Island," "The Founding of an Army," and "Oh My God."
6. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo
The Korean drama that broke everyone's heart up until now is truly a must-watch. Baekhyun, the lovable Prince Wang Eun, might not be the main character, but his tear-jerking role in this 2016's drama is praiseworthy.
7. The Universe's Star
What could top the feeling of meeting up with your long-time ultimate favorite K-pop idol? For sure, you wouldn't even be able to sleep, thinking about what to wear and what to do. But what if you die on the same day of meeting him up? Find out how Woo Joo (played by Suho) faced a fangirl who told him that he must be careful as death is lingering towards him.
8. My Annoying Brother
Do you have a brother? Surely, even if you are close to each other, there are times that he will annoy you. Meanwhile, Go Doo Young (D.O.) is a national athlete who now experiences darkness due to an accident. Having no other choice, he was left in the care of his ex-convict brother, played by Jo Jung Suk. Upon meeting again, their life will change.
9. Dokgo Rewind
If you are an action enthusiast as well as prefer long dramas, then watch Sehun as he proves his acting and fighting scene through this "Dokgo Rewind"! Based on a popular webtoon series, finishing this will make youone of those viewers who will be asking for a second season as well!
10. Seondal: The Man Who Sells the Rivers
Baozi's visuals as he wears a Hanbok is astonishing! This movie will hook you with its humorous scenes from the beginning and will leave you getting stomachache as you laugh your heart out. Watch out for the plot twist ahead, though.
11. Unforgettable
No words needed. Just watch it and see for yourself! From the casting, the soundtrack, the cinematography, and the acting of Kyungsoo co-starring with Kim So Hyun, everything was superb!
