It began {as everything did} with Lee Yun Seong's signature undercover look in City Hunter. Not exactly the most inconspicuous look, but it was a good one.
But then I noticed a very similar hat in I Can Hear Your Voice {hilarious, terrifying, and awesome thriller/romcom/lawyer/school/fantasy fusion drama}.
And in Two Weeks {incredible redemption story/thriller about family, with adorable daddy-daughter relationship}.
And in Healer {the sweeter, slightly less painful version of City Hunter}.
There was even black hats in The Princess's Man {beautiful historical drama (i.e. sageuk) known as the Joseon-era Romeo and Juliet}.
And in Warrior Baek Dong Soo, which is a sageuk more along the lines of Macbeth/Coriolanus.
There was a half-black hat in Bridal Mask...{heart-wrenching drama about the Japanese occupation of Korea}
and the actors made up for it by all wearing black hats to the script reading.
And one of the best drama-moms out there, the undercover student in school drama Angry Mom, also has a black hat.
As the pattern emerged, I emailed Unni–Maknae and the Ambassador that among the secrets of the universe I'd discovered was the Black Hat Secret - if the main character wore a black hat, I'd love the drama.
I started handing out the Black Hat Award, and in short order Unni–Maknae was thinking of The Black Hat Badge - a guide to the good, the great, the awesome and those black hats...which eventually led to this blog.
Here we plan to discuss dramas: what makes them great, which ones we think are the best, what things to watch out for, and why you should absolutely start watching them.
