Quantcast

1. Under the Hawthorn Tree

Imo, it matched the plot overall. The importance of the hawthorn tree in the drama, the hint for the ending and the sincerity of the cheerful male lead.

2. The Stage

The plot revolved around what happened behind the curtain more, so it matched imo.

3 - 100 Days with Mr. Arrogant: FL damages ML's car & she can't pay for repairs so ML inflates the repair cost & exploits FL's willingness to make amends.

  1. My Liberation Notes - it reflects drama's melancholic mood with the leads being stuck in life, sad and a bit hopeless, and the plot (centred around three siblings and the outsider)

5.Evilive - Black,White and red as the main colours tells you alot about the dynamics. One character facing/in the shadows/darkness . The other the facing the light but the darkness is encroaching. The red is symbolic of blood. You just know it is a crime/thriller drama at a glance and that the main charaters juxtapose or mirror each other.

6.Link: Eat, Love, Kill- At a glance the scene is a romantic dinner date but if you look closer things are not so sweet(the blood/sauce on the knife, the way both grip the knife etc). There is something off and the poster gives subtle clues about the murder mystery angle. They will be sharing more than romance and food

7 The Legend of Shen Li (it not only includes the personalities of the mains (fighter with the spear, laid back older person ;) it also reflects the uniqueness of this special Xianxia. Because it’s not the usual dark/fantasy like Xianxia (and poster); the mains don’t look at each other they’re their own strong characters and nonetheless together in one pic it brings the viewer peace and a feeling of calm and being at home. Plus, the cottage plays a big part in the plot.

English isn’t my native language but just watch the drama and maybe it’ll help you understand ^^;

8.Head 2 Head - this is one of my favourite posters recently, I absolutely love the little details in the background that relate to their major (which does play a huge role in the story) - but my favourite detail is Sea and Keen looking like their about to punch each other, but the mannequin hands behind them with the heart is a perfect representation of their relationship

9.Resident Playbook

All characters presented on the poster are 1st year residents and their life at hospital is always like that - in rush and worried. Mood captured really well

10 - White Christmas. The characters all in a row with their bare shoulders is the most frequent and arresting image on all the posters and promotion. And it is a good preview of the drama - their psyches will be laid bare, and the production is all about the ensemble, the writing and the acting. I think the poster does a good job of expressing conflict, suspense, and darkness. And most of all, it shows how isolated all the characters are.

New topic!

10 dramas or movies where there is an appearance of an ancestor spirit / ghost / friend. You know those scenes where one of the main characters either talks to their departed family member or other person with whom they had a close relationship, and the lost person actually appears, either alongside them watching them or actually participating in a conversation? Please say the one that touches you the most and why.

1 - My Lovely Sam Soon - the FL talks in a couple of scenes with her deceased dad. I love how gentle he is. I'm glad he had such a feisty wife and daughters to stand up for him. He appears three times, and my favorite is this scene from episode 8, where she's really sad, but he appears at her table, and they drink soju together, and she pours her heart out to him.

Does it matter if the living person sees/perceives them or not?

2. Hello Ghost (the latest version I watched was Taiwanese version with Tseng Jing Hua)

The time when ML regained all his memory and realized the four ghosts were his grandma, father, mother, and older brother and they said they always look out for him throughout his whole life.

3. Missing (only watched Thai version)

When Bright Norraphat said that he didn't mean to say he hate his mom out of anger and then his mom went missing right away (being killed) and his mom regained her sanity (she became evil ghost at one point).

4.Agent from Above- ML blamed himself for the death of his parents. He punished himslf and worked for the Third Crown Prince because he thought his parents were in hell because of him(a lie). He got to talk to them before they reincanated in the end and got closure

5.Cat for Cash-ML had a complicated relationship with his mom. The death of his mom shook him. He thought his mom did not think he was worthy and was disappointed which is why she did not want him to inherit the cat cafe she cherished. In a magical dream he had a conversation with her and realised she loved him and wanted him to live his life his way.

6.Phantom Lawyer- The whole show is about ghosts coming back to resolve things with the loved ones left in the land of the living. The FL finally got to relieve her guilt for surviving instead of her sister(died of a hit nd run) through the ml as a medium. They got to interact and do the sisterly things FL yearned for and fix her relationship with their parents before the sister moved on for real

Journalist:

It's fine whether they see them or not. What's important is how it touched you.

Yes, that is the mom. It has a lot of talking cats indeed.
