November is STACKED!!!! I have 2 prev airing k-dramas on my list, and this month, will check out 5 of the dramas you mentioned, but probably really continue with 4. Also, cooler months is amazing for crime/mystery, so I'm hoping C-ent doesn't drop anything other than Wisher (I have about 7 c-dramas I am keeping my eyes out for). Man, year end is going to be brutal. Goodbye sleep. xD xD
Manga adaptations have made it worse. The stuff that 'looks hot in 2D' is very questionable & disturbing in live-action,…
Yeah, HYD is old af, so I don't expect anything better. What's worrisome is that problematic old-school dynamics keep being written over & over again, even in 2021. There is plenty of non-con going on in manga these days too, and what's worse, is they get LAs. Why can't triggering stuff like assault, non-con, and other... hmm, kinks if you may call it, be restricted to stuff like fanfictions, Ao3 and loftr? I'm sure authors would get audience there too. Does it need to be a part of the mainstream?.... Thanks for the MDL links <3
It's nice but how fun would a Japanese version (J-dorama as some call it) of it would be...
Manga adaptations have made it worse. The stuff that 'looks hot in 2D' is very questionable & disturbing in live-action, tbh. Forceful grabs and jerk pulls, kabedons, forceful kisses, the list goes onnnnnnn -_-
May I ask whether in those scene, it was intended that way? Like the FLs are supposed not to want the kiss? Or…
Yeah, they idealize the depiction of women as a particular kind of 'stock-character.' In Japan, they are known as Yamato Nadeshiko. You can look up the term, that should explain why the women look so reluctant. Let's just say, it's part of a wider cultural appeal.... xD
Okay, wow! So JJH is his role-model, hence the multiple netflix deals. JKH and KJW too, hence probably his role in 'Nevertheless' and choosing PMY as his next co-star?.. Boy definitely has a type lol, esp considering he chose the profession because of Di Caprio & Titanic. I really wish he had that kind of talent too.... maybe he needs to take (more) lessons? His line-delivery, like many younger 'actors', is awful xD That said, he always wanted to be an actor, and turned down multiple other idol-selections, so at least he's serious about the job....
I find it funny how he's been hitting the gym, and resembles a Baymax-like body proportion instead of looking like the Manic Pixie Dream Boy, which may be an indication he's growing out of his webtoon-roles!! Also, I find it quite sad, post AIB/ Sweet Home, his career trajectory didn't resemble YamaKen's. But then again, SK was never critically acclaimed to begin with.... T_T I think it's time he signs up projects (as second leads/ supporting cast) with 'serious' actors instead of chasing Netflix to make quick bank... shame, he has the face for a romantic ML, but shines in the non-romance genre!
What a fun article! I completely missed you had coined MDL username for the characters too! xD Such a nice touch! :') Haven't watched all the dramas yet... but it definitely got me smiling a huuge smile! <3
This is a cute article! I'm glad that the kitty from This is My First Life made it in, that was a fun addition…
Ah, yes, Eun-Ha from FoE was SO good, and I'm sure her pregnancy is the ultimate shipper-move, cuz that got her parents even more wildly in love... hehe, reserved for part-II for sure! :') I haven't watched Meow Secret Boy, but heard lots... nope litter-habits don't scare me.. :P I'll be sure to watch it soon, even if just for the cuteness :)
Wait, so Vengo Gao, and a harem full of stunning women??? Sign me up for it! <3 <3 I have heard LOTS about this series... I would definitely be down to watch a c-drama version of it! Your casting choice (based on visuals) is really good! :)
Ugh, today's ep ending makes me soooo sad for Du-Shik. Just when he healed from a prev trauma, he has to go around losing the next important person in his life. T_T It hurts even more, knowing she was his savior on the bridge, with her adorable message filled with typos. Ugh, he didn't even receive the food she left for him. She passed away, likely worried for our poor Hong Banjang. Listen kids, never ignore people the same age as your grandparents T___T Writers, why you do this to us?

Dunnno about others, they keep announcing premiers, and bailing out last minute T_T
