Kim So Yeon's off-screen personality is demure and such a contrast to the mad character she played. The whole cast looks more adorable off-screen, too!
Oh, J-dramas have really interesting movies. I just don't like suggestive themed 18+ things... Hmm. 'Confessions' is one I haven't been able to forget.
Good starter article! I started by looking for live-action remakes of various anime/manga I was into. I was also into everything Japanese back then. I haven't been watching them as much now but when I want a good, socially-dark, somewhat unpredictable drama, J-dramas are my go-to. They do "disturbing" well, too. I also really like their slice of life and non-flashy aesthetics. However, they're not as timid as Korean dramas imo so I sometimes run into unexpected scenes... ^^'
