I loved that drama, it was my first Japanese drama too.

I was thinking of writing another article, I have since found some more, but haven't gotten around to watching. Was thinking of doing a winter-themed one, but I don't know if it will get written and published in time.

I think kids never find "just seeing nice places" fun. One of the reasons I only take extended road trips by watching dramas... I do travel IRL too, but it's usually to a beach, adventure park or a city trip, where we visit every kid-friendly museum, aquarium and playground.

Thankyou!

Haha, sorry for the disappointment. I hope you give them a try, most of them are very calming dramas!

I only used dramas where the whole drama was about travelling, I haven't watched memories of Alhambra, but was told there is only a few episodes in Spain, am I wrong? Encounter was also on my list, but they are only in Cuba during one episode.

Thankyou!

Thankyou! Safe travels. ;-)

Thankyou!

Which ones haven't you been on? I was thinking of writing a second article, because I found some more dramas, but I haven't watched them when I wrote the article.

Thanks for commenting! Travelling is a very stressful usually, but this way it is actually calming. Haha.

I am glad you liked it!

Thankyou!

Which trip will you take first?

I just read on your profile, you always have second lead syndrome... Oh, oh. I only get it with poor WRC, who often plays the second lead. A. Class of her Own made me mad. Lol.

I absolutely adore him and even went out of my usual genres to watch. Don't know where he disappeared to lately! 😕

It's the time travelling plot, isn't it? I wish it were that too.

Okay, I just finished episode 5. From the reviews it seems there is a plottwist in episode 6.

I want to post my theories here, so I can come back and check if I was right:
Theory 1: FL's parents were killed by ML's parents and probably bribed their way out of punishment, it is an elaborate revenge plot. Base: her mentioning her parents were killed in a car accident when she was 10, FL is very calculating and wants to stay at the school. Knows how his parents met etc.

Theory 2: FL is a time traveller and was actually in love with ML in the future. They had to seperate because of his mother, and she wants him to detach early. Was friends with the poor girl. Base: memory flashes and clock in the opening, knows background of his parents.

Theory 3:FL is a time traveller and was in love with ML in the future. He becomes messed up by his mom somehow, keeps doing rebellious things and keeps escalating, does drugs or illegal stuff and then dies from regret about his messed up life, leaving behind FL and possible kids, who are also messed around. FL tries to correct his ways, before it is too late.

Theory 4: FL was placed in ML's life by (his dad? his mom?) to get straighten him up, before he goes to college. She too is controlled by his mom and money, like all the people in his life. (Least likely, but whatever.)

Theory 5: FL is a psychopath who is in it for shits and giggles and just wants to win against everyone. (Base: FL very calculating, knows background of everyone.)

Theory 6: FL's Dad is actually ML's Dad, and he left her and her mom for the chairwoman. After her mom died he never picked her up, because he had a new baby. Revenge plot.

I would love to see an article with other genres. Dear Missy is not a romantic comedy though, it's firmly slice of life.

But of course, we can only draw from genres we watch, which in my case are female focused dramas and romances.

Same. After watching all the great character development in dramas movies seem to be so shallow and predictable. Barely any time for the best moments to unfold.
