Cheer

I fastforward through my dramas too especially Korean, Taiwanese and HKC dramas but I rarely do that with Japanese because as you said they're short and don't drag most of the time.

Once Secret Love is finished next week, I will be able to start Reply 1994, I was really reluctant about it before but you and another friend gave me complete confidence in starting it.
The other two dramas you mentioned are a big no for me, I will stay completely away from romantic comedies and romance oriented Korean dramas.

Do you like intense mysterious stories? Ice World is one of the best mystery dramas I ever saw, the built up was so intense and intriguing to follow. It was also mixed with romance and in this case it's not the kind of romance that ruins things, it's the good one. But it's an old drama, I don't know if you're okay with that.

Yes the main girl is somehow an idiot but if you like the marriage theme and the idea of an older guy marrying a younger girl then you would like this. Have you seen My Little Bride? It's a little similar to it.

I had my off moments with episodic dramas but I managed to come back at some point that's because I can't just give up on detective dramas and all of them are episodic. Do you hate all episodic dramas?

One of them is Yuki, ne?

I knew that but in my opinion, I believe that Fist of Legend is better executed than Fist of Fury, of course this doesn't mean that I belittle Bruce Lee or something but the latter version is better in my opinion, maybe it's because of the time of production.

I love both old and new Samurai films; there are great ones out there :D
I will make sure to continue watching the classics, thanks for offering your help, I will definitely ask for it when I need it (:

Yes, but that can lead to dilemma sometimes. You're in movies' phase? Were you able to watch anything interesting aside from Hollywood movies?

Absolutely you need to watch him in Legal High! You can see how great of an actor he is to be able to pull those types of characters. It has an episodic pattern though, I don't know if you're okay with that.

I know right? It's that the popular dramas always get hyped up while more than half of them don't even deserve to be given a chance. Only few people appreciate real hidden gems, some of them refuse to even look at any drama without any romantic interest in it. It's tiring to read their fangirling moments sometimes *sigh*

I don't know why everyone is skeptical about the second season; Komikado's weird funny character is the same, the drama is hilarious as ever and the only addition is Hanyu team who replaced Miki's gang which I find refreshing.
This is still very enjoyable like the first season if not better.

It happens to me sometimes that I hate the currently airing dramas and I always want to finish them except the greatest ones of course. For me, it's easier to watch some dramas while they're currently airing because many dramas become hard to finish once they're completed.
My guess that Reply 1994 isn't one of the dramas you want to drop?

I always loved Samurai films but it hasn't been a long time since I got started with Chanbara and Jidageki, I have a long way to go but I won't give up, it's nice to see a fellow lover of those films (:

Okay then, let me know how it goes afterwards.

I am also not in the mood for Korean dramas anymore, except the revenge themed ones of course. I saw Sweet 18 way before I became addicted, it was when I was younger. They showed it on TV. It's a little silly and the female lead can be annoying but it was enjoyable overall. It was later that I found out the main actors names :D

Apparently you didn't like the food drama a lot?

So that means that you're including movies as well? Alright, I will start from the first page and keep you posted.

In your dreams lady, you will never be able to do that :p

I will start it once Secret Love ends so that means next week. You know that I keep my promises Mickey! You're watching Heirs, ne? Good luck with that. *runs away*

It seems interesting but lately, each time I want to watch a Thai lakorn I end up choosing a revenge one. I think it became a habit of mine that I can't even look to other genres. I think only two or three lakorns I watched weren't revenge oriented.

You started watching Sweet 18?

Yes sure, I am glad to help. So first you need me to list the dramas per era? Is that so?

I saw two episodes by far and you're right, this seems like a Wuxia drama I would enjoy so keep the recommendations coming Dior; you know my taste.

I will keep you posted once I start it; I am waiting for the third episode to come out so that I can start that drama.

No, I haven't but before Keizoku SPEC, I need to watch the first season; I can't watch something without its prequel. I will also give BOSS a go at some point.

Ah bon? J'ai pensé que je vais être la première a commencer ce drame mais apparemment toi et Dreamy vont me battre. Ceci sent mal!

C'est seulement 20% chance que je commencerai ce drame, c'est long et Coréen! Alors tu peut comprendre mes sentiments.

I gave up on Taiwanese drama, just waiting for "Just You" to finish airing already. I will only watch their serious dramas. As for Korean dramas, I gave up on their romance oriented dramas as well as their romantic comedies. Actually, I gave up on romantic comedies from any country.

My top drama at the moment would be Legal High 2, have you seen the first season? I am also watching The Vigilantes in Masks, it's a Chinese Wuxia drama I don't know if you ever watch HKC dramas. I recently finished My Boss My Hero and I liked it.

What's Suzuki Sensei is about? A school drama?

It's not that I don't watch two or more dramas at the time because I am currently watching four at the same time. The problem is, I can't watch two Korean dramas at the same time. Once I get rid of the Korean drama I watch next week, I will be able to start Reply 1994.

I saw Reply 1997 and that's the main reason I will watch the second season because I never miss sequels. I liked it, it was quite unique compared to other Korean dramas but I don't think of it as the best. I liked the humor and the Pusan accent.

I noticed that you're only watching currently airing Korean dramas. You don't watch the currently airing Japanese dramas?

Thanks! (: The reason I chose not to watch those dramas is because I know I wouldn't like them since they don't suit my taste.

I know exactly what you mean, I am so glad that I opened my horizons and decided to discover this world; it's so fascinating, different and full with pleasant surprises and great classics that I can't get enough with. I watch two of them each week :D

I hope Mike will have a Samurai movie with Satoshi; something like 13 Assasins; it would be epic. First it's Yamada then Satoshi!

I have a bunch of Song Kang Ho and Choi Min Sik's movies to watch but on the other hand, I need to keep up with Japanese classics and Samurai movies as well as HKC Martial Arts and Wuxia movies; it's a real dilemma to choose.

It's a given that one would be less strict with movies choices since they're shorter and easier to watch. Whenever I am a bit tired of dramas, I turn to movies, I just have to pick the right one for my mood and I will be satisfied.

You're starting an horror drama? I just started watching a Wuxia drama; I thought it would a nice change from Japanese dramas and since I am in no mood for Korean dramas, watching something Chinese is always good.

Yes, Hanzawa Naoki is also one of my favorite characters; that guy was so cool but I knew Sakai before watching that drama. My start was with JOKER.
