Underrated Gems Worth Checking Out
List of titles that I believe are rather underrated (aka I don't hear much talk about them, are generally disliked or have low viewership).
And because I like to link other's lists:
-
![xxxHOLiC]()
101. xxxHOLiC
Japanese Movie - 2022
Genres: Thriller, Mystery, Drama, Supernatural, Dark Fantasy, Psychological, Suspense
Type: Movie (1hr, 50 min)Definitely a confusing watch but also a stunning one! Definitely requires a bit of 'taking it for what it is' and not thinking about the plot *too* much but it's gotta be of the most whimsical, magical and beautiful looking films I've ever seen. What good art direction can do.

![Yume de Mita Ano Ko no Tame ni]()
102. Yume de Mita Ano Ko no Tame ni
Japanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
Genre: Thriller, Mystery, Crime, Drama, Youth, Suspense, Investigation, Revenge
Type: Miniseries (5 hrs)A bittersweet slowburn and very poetic mystery/thriller focused on generational trauma. The story itself was fairly solid but not without issues. Beautiful cinematography and art direction as well as compelling characters and dynamics. Overall, a touching story and a lovely watch.

![Zhang Gong Zhu Zai Shang]()
103. Zhang Gong Zhu Zai Shang
Chinese Drama - 2022, 27 episodes
Genres: Action, Historical, Romance
Type: Short Length Series (54 min)Steamy romance, quick and fast paced plot, unusual characters and dynamics, pretty shots
