Since you enjoy CDramas, in general, you may want to try one of my absolute favorite BLs. It was daunting to start a drama with 50 episodes, but once it was getting close to the end, I really didn't want it to end. And it did take 3-5 episodes for me to get into it - only because the start is funky. It starts 16 years after Wei WuXian's death and there's a retelling of the past then we get to the present.angeliviki2022:
RE: The Untamed - You read my mind! I was thinking about this show again for I don't know how many times now...but haven't be able to get myself to start it, because yeah, 50 EP! I have a love/hate relationship with Chinese dramas, haha. I hear so much about this one I really should give it a go. Thanks for the encouragement!
I don't think I've ever seen a drama with the ML already dead in the beginning. :-)
Sruthipriya mahesh:I have but it was an OK show for me. For me, the actor Jeon ChangHa was a real cutie, LOL. Didn’t think that both MLs had chemistry.Jojo:
(re "First Love Again") Same. I liked the series - but mainly because my heart goes big big pitter-patter for Jeon Changha. While the chemistry wasn't great, the gender aspect to the story was original and interesting.
the troupe of Japanese communication dysfunctionality is a real problem in that culture as it’s hard to know what a Japanese is actually thinking because they are taught to be polite and not express what they truly think and feel
Yup. On the other hand, Koreans are direct - but they have that toxic drinking culture which I find disgusting. And Thais are direct but have that silly comedy with the sound effects, not to mention all the product placement. But I'm not complaining - I love them all (and Chinese and Taiwanese and Vietnamese, too).
This was my exact thoughts the first time I watched it. The ending though always has me going back to re-watch certain scenes with the ending scenes and I kind of get the deeper meaning now but I still find the trauma parts hard to digest which I don't know if it was intentional by the makers to distract or provoke thought.RiqueXinw:
Somewhat to how I viewed it. As graphic as it was, it was the final scenes that had me thinking about the film as a whole. I've watched it a few times to try and comprehend it on a deeper level. Whilst I don't condone the actions of Yoda Ryoji, I can sort of understand his (warped) reasoning.
This tickled me. I am 8 episodes behind and I have no idea how I am going to rate it at the end; based on where I left off I am feeling a strong 2 and I have a feeling I won't be rating it past 4.5
I gave it 1.5 because every now and then I got to see Win Jirapat Uttayananon's face; he has such puppy dog eyes.
