So I binged it all in one go on it's release date and I was originally only planning on watching an episode or 2, with the plan to finish the series on the weekend but I couldn't walk away, it was such a delightful watch that I did not realise I had already sat through 4 episodes before I got up to get a drink.
Before the first episode even got past 10 or so minutes, I thought the Japanese was a little awkward for the FL as if it was like her second language or something, this was before it's revealed that she's actually a Korean who recently moved to Japan (I'm assuming about 5 or 6 years at best). Then I realised that the FL was the one and only Han Hyo Joo, I haven't seen her since "Moving". I reckon Han Hyo Joo deliberately lowered her fluency in Japanese to fit the role of someone who's "still learning" Japanese for the most part. She played her role really well and adopted the J-Drama mannerisms more often than the K-Drama style imo.
Shun Oguri, I haven't watched one of his dramas in a very long time, the first drama I watched that he was in was IWGP back around 2008 (maybe even 2006) and the last drama I watched him was Ouroboros, so it was really nice to me on the screen.
It's an adorable fluffy drama, which reminded me of the "I'm Not a Robot" kdrama with it's similar premise. I know that it's technically a JSK drama but for the most part it's a J-Drama done with a bit K-Drama flair in it. Overall, I gave it a 9/10 and I'm really glad I watched it.
I almost abandoned this one after the first episode but oh boy I'm so glad I didn't! This is a gem and I enjoyed…
I'm watching the first episode right now (no idea when it joined Netflix UK) but her "Engrish" is so damn awful and infuriating at the moment, not sure I'll get use to it.
I watched this subbed on a China Airlines flight last month, a decent film, nothing too crazy. It has however, got me interested in checking out the anime and manga though.
Wait she's an actual assistant director for the movie "A Samurai in Time", her character in the film is also of a struggling assistant director that is made to do scripts very often, with her life goal of being a director herself.
It was added to Netflix on September 14 as "season 3". https://www.netflix.com/title/82072564
I was a bit surprised and very happy about the addition as I had literally just finished season 2 of 99.9% Criminal Layer on Netflix on the 13th September.
I think one thing they never disclosed was who was the killer in the mafia game they played a decade ago at their hiking/camping trip, I assume the Mafia killer is one of the "bad guys".
Never ever heard about Q series, I wonder what the others are like and if they're on Netflix UK. I think this drama is my fourth Taiwanese drama I've ever watched, I watched Devil Beside You, Bull Fighting and It Started with a Kiss, all a very very long time ago and half of Copycat Killer (need to go back to this one) within the past few years.
I came across a post on reddit recommending this show after I had watched the J-drama, Million Yen Women (Hyaku-manen no Onna-tachi), and I'm really glad I did.
Brief spoiler before the end of episode 01, I was rooting for Yi Cong to get another chance with Xiao Tong but then the revelation of what happened, killed that notion rapidly unfortunately.
The show kept me guessing who the potential killer was up and until episode 5, there were many hints in the form of random micro-aggressions, red herrings and characters acting very sus or anxious.
Overall, I enjoyed it and I really liked the talking corpses. I'm giving this series a 9/10, I don't think I will re-watch the series but at the same time I wonder what a re-watch would be like when you know the truth.
I've come across this over the years on Netflix but I did not know this was going to be a show like this at all, I thought it would be an absurd rom-com or something from the small summary I read years ago.
Earlier this year, I heard that it is a thriller of sorts, which intrigued me and so from that, I started watching it and finished it over the course of 2 days. I could not narrow down the suspect to one person until it was finally revealed, I just thought it had to be someone who had a lot of money to be able to control the situation and ruled out anyone who I thought wasn't capable of doing so.
Overall, I enjoyed the series very much and I gave it a 9.5 out of 10. I came across a reddit page saying that if I liked this series that I should try out "Close Your Eyes Before It's Dark", it's a Taiwanese drama and is leaving Netflix UK at the end of month.
