The CP is the son of a different wife. The current wife comes from a powerful family, apparently the king married her to get more power from her family. So the king maybe wants to take out CP, so he can get more support by making his younger son (powerful family's grandson) the CP. Because PHS characters mom didn't have a powerful family.

As per Episode 2, if I didn't get it wrong.

Wonder what the issue with the older brother was...

(Really makes you think how easy their life would be if they just stuck with one wife...)

It's more of a murder mystery/detective plot is my impression. I came for PYS eye acting, but the plot is intriguing enough, a good before bed watch.

I wasn't sure I was watching the right show for a moment. Wouldn't have started it, if I knew this was going to be a "lady detective" story, but I am actually enjoying it so far.

Pretty much, except Go Ahead, I spoilered myself and then didn't find the setup appealing.

Bwahaha, the first time I heard about "City of Streamer" I thought the S was missing at the end, and it was a story about some Social Media Streaming Site/Online Shopping thing.

What I noticed, there are a bunch of Chinese dramas that feature older characters, with no major plotlines for younger characters or at least the younger characters are not acted by well-known idols, so they don't get translated at all. I only stumble upon them, if I am looking on purpose, even though they look super interesting.
I personally have friends and follow people who have crossed half a century and older, and I find them and their lives very interesting. They are all so different in their approaches, some your stereotypical grandma, some still out there dating and going on girls vacations and some running an Instagram page for style over 50. I have noticed, apart from physical ailments, you can make it whatever you want to and I wish there was as much diverse stories about them on media as in real life.

Lonelyness Society seems like a remake of the Hollywood movie "While You Were Sleeping", which is one of the cutest, so definitely watching that, and will try Find Yourself as well, since the original is one of my favourites. I also like the setup of 23.5 and the one about the first love.
I have learned to wait till most of the episodes are out though, watching as something comes out is not my thing, I just lose the plot and interest if I have to wait a week.

I disagree, he gave her strong enough rejections, but maintained the friendship. I mean, they work in the same office, remaining cordial is the normal thing to do.

They have surprised me a bunch of times, where they didn't go the cliche route with KY and YI, so I hope they will do it again and HaeMi gets therapy for her entitlement.

The two KDramas I loved the most last year were Dali and the Cocky Prince, and the daily drama "The love in your eyes" which is the perfect candy before bed in length and wholesomeness. Other than that I leaned heavily into CDramas.

So tell me, which vibe are you looking for?

Wow, thanks for this list. I find Thai dramas are hit and miss for me, unless someone recommends something I always forget to look them up for new shows. I put some of them on my list now!

Okay, I only watched the parts with Ji-Won and John... Do I put it on my watched list? There should be a skipped through list... I was intrigued by the setting, since I love romance reality shows, but yeah, only that couple held my interest longterm.

This was so hard for me to rate. 10/10 for chemistry, but the plot was a mess. I felt like even the editor found it a bit much, hence the sudden jump cuts from the middle onwards.

I found the relationships in Coup de Fudre and Sweet Teeth were realistic and not toxic as well.

Don't know how I ended up watching this soap opera of a drama, but apart from skipping some makjang parts, I am enjoying it. It is a really nice evening after work drama, nothing super annoying or exciting happens, the romance is slow burn, but cute.

I can't speak for everyone, but yes, I find that CDramas make me think about them more and thus I also want to discuss them more. I personally find KDramas rather formulaic a lot of the time, not matter the genre, they have a predictable formula, so there is not usually a "OMG, what will happen next? How will it end?", while notoriously in (historical and fantasy) CDramas people might die until the last episode. They also never shy away from an anti-hero/hero with questionable actions. I am not quite certain what it is, since I do love me some KDramas, but I often find the characters in CDramas more intriguing and richer, so I also want to discuss them and their moral values more.

Oh wow, thankyou, you are a true ambassador of J-Dramas. I will check them out once I am back at my laptop on Monday.

Recency Bias, it's a phenomenon where you will remember something you experienced recently as better/worse than anything you experienced before. They did not give a definition, so everyone could make it what they wanted.

Also I have some personal favourites, that I would probably not enter into BOTB, because while I love them I am aware of poor production or cheesy, clichéd storyline. Objectively meh, subjectively sooo good. Secretary Kim would be one of those.

Actually yes, I would say the same thing about the Kawaii factor. I don't know if Japanese women complain about the Kawaii factor as well, but if they do, they are allowed to criticise the media they consume for becoming a bit stale. On the other hand, if they enjoy the Kawaii factor, because it in turn leads to decisive, protective ML and that gives an audience of women who are stressed out with decision making a warm, fuzzy feeling, that is perfectly understandable too.

Just like I understand escapist media geared towards men being full of women who want nothing more than to be ordered around and cute for a man. Gives them a reprieve from RL, where nobody easily does what they wish for.
