I thought this would be a dark revenge melodrama but this a really, really dark comedy. I really enjoyed the first episode but I think ~23 minutes is too short of a runtime!
If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that most revenge or dark jdramas have a comedy spiral recently. I don't think that's the case at all. I just finished RISKY and there are so many other currently airing revenge or dark jdramas. None of them have over the top comedy - if they have humour at all, it's really dark or dry. As for Vincenzo, I think it's an odd example bc it was a revenge drama but it had cringey, over the top comedy that you said that was a deficiency in Jdramas so I'm confused lol.
Lmao but the beauty of jdramas is that they take kdramas and make them better than the original. I'm loving Shitteru Waifu, which was awesome and Kanokire is so much fun.
I don't know about this at all. Japanese dramas have their own humour and style of over-acting but that's mostly only in live action adaptations of manga or anime. Sometimes it works, like Horimiya or Nodame Cantabile, and sometimes it doesn't. But there are so many other dramas and movies from Japan that are super dark and completely serious with 'serious' acting, it's not fair or accurate to categorize them like that. If you don't know about them, just ask and someone will recommend them. For the record, I didn't like Vincenzo at all because it was such an odd mixture of multiple genres and the humour & acting is really cringey.
Ikr...this is like so good but because of the unavailability of the app in many counties, many people can't watch…
Well I hope it's popular with Japanese audiences. The most we can hope for is that enough overseas audiences use WeTV and convince them to add more Japanese content.
EP 4 was fun in jdrama terms but something was amiss that one can't help replaying the korean version of the same…
I didn't watch the original and usually jdrama remakes are better than the originals, so I am enjoying this drama. Also, if you like Koshiba Fuka, you should watch Chousoku Parahero Gandiin - she looks so gorgeous in it - and Parallel Tokyo, if you want something serious.
