Honestly, I think this is better than The Untamed. Don't get me wrong I love both dramas but here, the plot and…
I love them both for different reasons. I love Joy of Life for the clever plot, characters, and humour. But even a drama like this - not a flaw to be found in the script or production, it holds you to the edge of your seat every minute while watching, and enjoy it tremendously! - pales to my love for the Untamed.
The difference imo is that The Untamed pulls on your heartstrings on a whole different level. It makes you think about its themes, its characters, and their relationships, of right and wrong, of unfairness of the world, of love and death and friendship, of what it means to be human, and a lot more. It stays with you. In a word, it's unforgettable.
Ok can this be? Uncle Wu Zhu is a cyborg. He can understand feelings but he can't have ones.
Who says he can't have feelings? 1 million feeling-developing cyborgs in countless sci-fi movies/series/books disagree! :D Also, in Fan Xian's mother's letter, she warn him to take care of Wuzhu, like he can become vulnerable somehow. And what's the way for him to become vulnerable, if not by developing feelings?
beautiful movie. but, i want to ask, did you all like/agree with that ending??
What's not to like? He finally got over his past, his regrets, and his sadness, and was ready to move on with his life, and ready to go into another relationship!
I ship him with Duo Duo, but I still want him to be faithful to Wan'er, I don't know, I'm in a dilemma! :D But I hope that Wan'er will start doing extraordinary things in the future!
Here's an interesting article about this movie:https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/1108-in-the-realm-of-the-senses-some-notes-on-oshima-and-pornography
It is an adaptation of the novel by Jin Yong (AKA Louis Cha), who also wrote such classics as Legend of the Condor…
Thank you for the info. It's okay, I'm doing it gradually for each book, besides MDL doesn't list all adaptations. I'm trying to associate them with each other and add the relevant tags..
1) Just an online meme from LOTR verse2) Train to Busan3) Ichi the Killer4) Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum5) Hitsuji…
That's actually a great idea for MDL in general! We could do a thing like "Horror January" "10 days, 10 horror films" or sth like that in the feeds.. Or it could extend in other genres/be country specific.. E.g. 10 days, 10 different genres/country combinations, day #1: Japanese Horror, Day #2: Korean Thrillers movies, Day #3 Chinese martial arts films, Day #4 Filipino Political Movies, Day #5 Drama/Family, etc, etc.

Thanks, you're a treasure!! (I was almost sure that's Ha Ji Won on #8, but it turns out it's not even a Kmovie, lol!)
I already added some you suggested, as well as some on the above list on my ptw! I'll wait for the comprehensive list (regardless of country) when you have time. Maybe I'll organise a horror night one of these days, need to up my game :D
Great article!! Could you please name the movies/dramas in the pictures/gifs please?
I like horror btw, but as others have mentioned, I don't like too much gore (it makes me want to throw up instead of terrifying me/or makes me laugh if bad!) - do you have any recommendations for genuinely terrifying/scary/intense films/dramas, without much gore? Thanks!

I never play mobile games so I wasn't aware of it, but it seems it has been ported for Windows..
