what is the predominant theme of Six Flying Dragons?
Maybe you shouldn't edit the list name, cause the "Revenge" theme makes the list less generic/more specific!! It's an interesting coupling of themes, and it certainly added ideas on what to watch next for me!
FYI, I have created a similar list about power plays etc. (but not revenge specific), that's focusing on Historical/Costume dramas here: https://kisskh.at/list/71NwpmqL
what is the predominant theme of Six Flying Dragons?
I'd say it's mainly these 5 (in no particular rank):
-Ambition, -The Clash of Ideals with Reality (and the Human Cost of making truth one's idealistic political views), -Coming of Age, -Corruption of Power, -Loyalty.
But besides the Revenge theme, it satisfies all other criteria on that list (power play, smart chess moves, constant tension, grey-grey morality).
Ok, can someone comments if the original novel also has so much humour? And how faithful of an adaptation it is so far (book spoiler free if possible please)? Thank you. (I plan to start reading the novel after this season ends cause I can't handle the wait...)
Omg this is getting better and better!!!! It's been a while since I've watched a show so exciting!! I'm almost afraid that I'll be disappointed & it will stop being so good.. Also, 2 more seasons????
Humour and pretty? And a good story? That sounds like The Untamed!! But that will maybe get you into a far worst show hole afterwards, hmm. ;)
But honestly, I don't think it's you, it's the shows you're currently watching. None of them sounds like what you're looking for... So either endure, or better start something else!
Besides The Untamed, other shows with your description I'd recommend is Rebel: Thief who stole the people (thought there are some depressing things, but plenty of humour, great characters & engaging story that's pretty simple to follow up), Love in the Moonlight (light-hearted gender-bender romance), and the currently airing Joy of Life (unexpectedly laugh-out-loud funny transmigration drama).
Sorry for only recommending historical dramas, but "pretty" (costumes, cinematography, people, architecture, scenery) = historical/costume dramas to me!! :)
On my "Best Historical Dramas" list, it says that Splash Splash Love has "38 voters", but at the top of the page…
I noticed that too! I was just voting on your lists btw. I think there's a glitch and every time someone votes on the list, the list gets reset and only counts the last voter's and the op's votes!

(I just watched the first episode & it looks promising and different, with badass characters! I also loved the ending song!)

I've never watched a Filipino drama & I'd like to expand my horizons! Is this drama a good place to start?
