I'm not interested in the British show, but I clicked on your article because of the Jutathep series. I tried the one with James (of course, who doesn't?), dropped it cos the womanizer general grossed me out. At that time I haven't mastered the 'selective watching' skill ;D. Now that I do, I may pick it back someday... My question: is every part worth-watching/good???
Actually me neither, and still not even after watching CF. However I got hooked at the first try. That drama actually made me write my first article ever, lol. When you click on the link by the end of the CF section, it directs you to the article. I wrote it in a non-gaming (both as drama watcher or player) point-of-view ;D
The death occurred in Ep 1, you don't see the surprise in the end. The story then unravels the mystery behind…
I feel you. Since my preferred genres are still romance, romcom, and comedy, I hate sad endings and I try to find out if the main couple ends up together or not, aka happy endings. But I notice on dramas with any crime/investigation/mystery/supernatural/sci-fi element in it may not have a happy ending. I actually cried in The Long Night not for the death (since it's already told in the beginning) but for the sacrifice and loyalty shown in the friendship ;D
Great article. I love solid friendships in dramas. I actually gravitate towards these dramas the most, and I was…
Actually, if you noticed the genres I put under each of title, lots of these dramas don't have Friendship genre in it. So if you look for dramas by narrowing down to friendship genre, you won't find them. However, having completed all these dramas I realized that I went thru the whole drama without much or any skipping/fast-forwarding is the healthy/supportive relationship between the characters, aka friendship, which are not a filler. It's like something that I see subconsciously when watching dramas of any genre ;D
That's a great article!! Most of these dramas are on my Soon-To-Watch already! I'd add Hikaru no Go in that list,…
Actually I tried watching HNG since I heard it was a good one. I felt asleep, lol. It was still in the first ML's childhood. I'm not sure, does it start slow? I usually have more patience trying several episodes watching historical/costume Cdramas based on novels since many start slow following the novel's story line, but I don't have the patience with modern Cdramas.
I was thinking of putting up the duos but then it will be too many. This segment already covers 9 and the other…
Besides TBK and TLN, I watched Sisyphus from the Light On series, too. It's not bad I think, it's similar to Psych Hunter but instead of mysticism it's pure detective/investigation. Probably I should watch The Kidnapping Game, I read an article that TKG is a good one. I just checked there are several more of Light On series for 2021, the cast are quite good too!
lol actually both The Bad Kids and The Long Night are only 12 episodes each so you can bingewatch in a day. Believe me, they are so intriguing you won't want to stop, lol. I usually mix the light-hearted and the heavy/dark/sad dramas so won't be overwhelming ;D
Great article and I love the focus on friendships. I haven't seen the dramas highlighted here but will be sure…
I was thinking of putting up the duos but then it will be too many. This segment already covers 9 and the other segment also 9. If I cover the duos too I ended up making another series, lol. I did cover Ancient Detective in my other segment (historical and supernatural) but for the whole group. I dropped In A Class of Her Own cos when I watched suddenly I missed the Korean gang (this was the remake of Sungkyunkwan Scandal, right?) and I ended up want to watch Song Joong Ki and Yoo Ah In again (IMO don't think the Chinese actors could match up SJK and YAI portraying their respective characters). I think Qing Qing Zi Jin (which I also covered in the other segment) is more interesting cos the ML is a bandit and no restrictions on female students so there is no that overused gender bender trope. You should watch at least The Bad Kids and The Long Night, they seem your favorite genre and both are short (12 episodes), also Cross Fire. That one caused me wrote my first article ;D I'm interested on Youkai Sharehouse. Is that similar to The School Nurse Files?
I nominate 'Lovely Us' for this list as well. No love triangles and no mean characters, just a great story.
is it draggy, though? the thing is with highschool/college Cdrama tends to drag. I have dropped some of them because of that. SS is only 8 episodes, HSBB 15, and ITMT 8. HSBB although it's Chinese but not draggy at all I was so surprised. Also it actually about the teacher. I love the actress since watching her at My Neighbour Can't Sleep.
