Strangers from hell made me so happy to see Dong Wook in a baddie role!!
Yes, he's such a versatile actor. Many times actors don't want to take villainous role because they don't want to be hated. But a real actor takes challenging roles!
I think the top rated and popular modern Cdramas are predominantly romance/romcoms that's why you don't watch…
Haha... you don't miss a thing if you don't watch Chinese romcoms. Because production companies are afraid to get their dramas stuck at NRTA and get shelved for years, it's a loss of money/profit for them. That's why they keep using the same old recipe of success of previous romcoms, but it also means similar plots again and again, boring. I usually watch them because so and so I like played in those dramas, but with an ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) attitude ready to skip or FF scenes, lol. However, recently I noticed there are more and more romcoms mixed with fantasy/mystery/supernatural are being released, some were filmed a few years back, an indication NRTA let them loose. Unfortunately, they're butchered with censors resulting in bad editing/ending/plot holes. But the more you watch Cdramas the more you understand it's the censorship doing, and just watch and enjoy the dramas as what they are ;D
If I were to watch a horror drama, I will pick A gift to the people you hate. The synopsis sounds so interesting,…
no I need to make a correction... I was not interested because of the synopsis but because of the title, lol. It sounds like Japanese title if translated into English. Thanks for the recommendation, I put it in my PTW ;D
This is only the top 10, but if you already watched most of them and am looking for more down the list (after…
You're right! Horror movies give the suspense/tense and when it climaxes it ends and the credit rolls, lol. Just like that. It doesn't even need to fill plot holes with logics. Meanwhile that don't happen with horror dramas, need explanation or people will rate them low ;D
Fantastic observation article! Here are my watching stats from the lists you provided4/10 - All-time6/10 - Historical…
I think the top rated and popular modern Cdramas are predominantly romance/romcoms that's why you don't watch any ;D. I read somewhere that is the main reason why people like modern Cdramas more than Kdramas or move from Kdramas to Cdramas, reminiscing what Kdramas used to be. While now there are more genres added in Kdramas so they're no longer simple romance/romcom dramas. The other way around with Cdramas, the more genres added in their romance dramas the harder they pass censorship, lol, For example: fantasy, crime, mystery, supernatural ;D
I think I'm better now since I age, I used to hide behind the chairs while my family was watching horror shows!…
Sometime ago I read an article states that dramas/movies with vampire theme is not popular in Korea cos vampire is a Western (European) culture. So maybe werewolf too? Cos werewolf is also from European culture, from their folktales. That's why gumiho theme is very popular with the Koreans cos it's in their myth, also in China as fox demon.
I think SK is the best portraying horror (I watched horror+romance or horror+comedy). Their costume/makeup/prop…
I watched the Kdrama (Bring it On Ghost) first tho not a while ago then the Thai. In BIOG FL is more mischievous and Kim So Hyun's acting is better cos she is a seasoned actress. But chemistry is better in LFG, since KSH was only 16/17 when acted in BIOG so not much romantic scenes. Bromance between the two friends is better in BIOG. The ghost is scarier in LFG and they have more background story, so is the villain. Big who played as the Dr Jade, he's a good actor (I watched him before).
