I don't think there ever was one though. Hardly likely to be a big call for a direct flight. More the fact that it made me look it up rather than anything else.

Apparently it takes between 15 and 42 hours to fly to Norway from Korea as there are no direct flights according to Google, I was thrown enough to look it up.

Well 3 episodes in and my initial interest is starting to fade. At first I thought Ha! When the Weather is... this is how you do a slow drama. Now I'm at a 'these people are all a bit weird in a creepy way' sort of feeling. I'm sort of wishing Little Forest wasn't such a hit as slow with beautiful cinematography is hard to keep interesting as a series rather than a film. Though I did enjoy staring at the shadows of the branches on the ceiling...Nice!

Well a resounding nope from me, I struggled through 4 episodes and the only time I was interested was episode 3 and that didn't last long. I'm afraid the acting I found to be meh! the chemistry zero and the plot, well, unengaging? Greg's character I found annoying throughout I just felt like I'd seen him play this character before and wasn't bothered about it then either.

Too teen for me.

Well I hung on in there. The cinematography is indeed beautiful as are the sets and the landscape. But unfortunately I'm finding the program itself both tedious and pretentious much like the music, except for her cello piece.
I'm afraid my taste is obviously very different as both Be Melodramatic and Prison Playbook aren't my sort of thing either. Or perhaps it's because I'm a little jaded at the moment as I'm finding most things a bit of a let down. Last Friends was the last series I managed to finish and that's pretty old.

Thank you very much for taking the time to make suggestions though, it was appreciated.

I'll give it another go later on, I ended going and watching something on Netflix instead - which wasn't great either.

I'm really struggling to get through the first episode of this, I don't mind slow but I need interest. Will it matter if I jump a couple of episodes I wonder?

Love quadrangle between unlikeable people. Redemption? who cares! dropped.

Excellent stuff for 2008 Japan. Thoroughly... enjoyable? watchable stuff.

Great actors and it seems to be well written. It dragged me in for a couple of episodes.
So if you like the Legal genre and are ok with the moral ambiguity try it.

Apparently I don't like the genre and I'm not ok with the moral ambiguity so I'm outta here.
P.S. I didn't feel the chemistry either.

Korean version of Life on Mars as a prime example. WTCB I enjoyed at the start but couldn't be bothered finishing the last two episodes.
Teacher student dramas are usually a no for me, if not invariably a NO! though I like age gap romance in general.

I'll avoid that one then, I'm defo more of a light and fluffy romance man myself. My other pet hate is Serial Killers. I really loathe the cliched super smart killer trope especially if coupled with the obligatory torturing some poor woman scene.

I'll take a look at VR. I had more capacity to handle Jerk leads when I first started into Kdramas but it rapidly diminished. I think Secret Garden was the main culprit as it was such a roller coaster of love and hate. I'm now at the point where literally one bad scene can ruin a drama for me and even if it's in the last few episodes I won't be able to continue watching.

I might just be unable to watch YSY to be honest. I just checked my list and I've started but dropped all 6 shows I've tried where he has been a ML. I do find her an interesting character but the show on the whole is just meh! to me.

So I watched until the end of episode 2 and it really isn't for me, I wasn't amused merely irritated and confused. It just didn't make any sense, just why did they do those things it didn't match with the characters at all?

Well the initial premise seemed interesting but everything was too obvious, cool, meaningful etc. Cliche characters, oodles of serial killers and lots of stringing things out.
Soo Young stood out for me as the best actor, Jang Hyuk was just too hammy even if he had such a terrible part to play.
Dropped

Nothing in episode one made me want to watch any more of this. Apart from the forest but hey documentaries! Shame.

Here's some I'm reading and some I enjoyed.
Azumi; My ID is Gangnam Beauty; Koe no Kitachi;
Fujiyama-san wa Shishunki; Shishunki Bitter Change; Aoi Hana; Saotome Senshu, Hitakakusu; Kimi wa Kawaii Onnanoko; Kimi wa Petto.
I don't get on with a lot of the shoujo art style which has limited some of the stuff I read, spindly bodies and massive eyes are just too weird. KWP and KWKO I have to read in bursts for that reason.
In true otaku style though I've been enjoying shoujo ai, the romance is sweeter and the ecchi less obtrusive, not that I have a problem with pants and boobs but it breaks or becomes the narrative a little too often.

Mangadex is my goto.

Thanks I'll give it another chance on that basis. I'm having a Manga obsession at the moment though,
