Everyone has different taste after all. Personally I also don't like most comedies & romcoms. I absolutely adore slice of life dramas tho.

This is mostly melodrama which is one of the genre I don't like to watch rather than crime & psychological thriller I was hoping for. Total pass for me.

This is such a underrated gem. I thought this would be kind of bland & lackluster based on sypnosis; and then I was wrong. This drama is super fun & interesting to watch, and the best part is the characters; you couldn't help but get attached to them. This is the kind of drama I wouldn't mind having a sequel.

Fun & intriguing pilot, also aoi Miyazaki as lead in a drama after a long time. Damn, count me in.

Disappointed. The casting is ruined on this boring & mediocre plot.

The last few eps felt draggy & boring, tho earlier eps had me at the edge of my seat. Then it just become normal police drama.

I never thought i would enjoy watching this kind of drama, but both leads are killing it. Their chemistry is chemistrying for real, which is the most important thing in romance dramas imo.

This gets better and better with each ep. Makes me think about my own life too. Funny & interesting watch.

More than the story (which is both emotional and educational), what really moved me was the acting from young eli and teacher cheng. I have a feeling it would hit quite close to home for most asians even though the extremeness would vary from each to each. This is what most of us as childs felt (and still as adults) & what at least 80% of asian parenting looks like imo.

I didn't like 1st ep cuz it felt too kdrama-ish. But 2nd ep saved the day at least for me. Guess I'll keep watching for now.

The first thai movie I've watched & enjoyed in quite a long time. It is more like a coming of age story rather than romance. First half of movie is really good but 2nd half is quite messy with unnecessary side plots & repetitive scenes. I don't hate the ending but it felt like they could've done better job with ann's departure. It felt kind of nonsense, abrupt & lazy. Overall solid 8.5/10.

Yeah I also have no luck in finding s2. Hopefully, may be the same yt channel would upload it some day.

It is on youtube with eng sub. Just type 'storm riders' on youtube search bar.

So the case remains unsettled & we didn't learn any things abt the man in the end, as I expected & wanted. The man is like the devil himself, bringing misfortune anywhere he goes. His chr reminds me a lot of johan liebert from monster. I'm still curious & thinking abt the way he chose his victims tho. This whole show is pure psychological which is rare & well done imo. Kagawa teruyuki is so mesmerizing in his role as he plays different chrs in each ep; just brilliant acting, esp with his eyes. Anne nakamura is also excellent in this one which I'm quite surprised becuz her acting is pretty average in her other works as far as I've seen. Overall 10/10 from me; thanks hpriest again for finishing this.

This kind of drama is just right up my alley. I love how they're doing things here; acting, direction, camera angles, chrs & their story so on. I believe the final two eps also would not fall short of masterpiece. This is gonna be a wild ride man. Most of all I'm so much thankful to hpriest as always for subbing this, otherwise I would not be able to watch & enjoy this.

Still same high quality thriller(maybe even better) as previous season. Just brilliant. Many many thanks to hpriest for subbing this gem.

Yuina is just mesmerizing in this one. The plot is quite crazy but the performances made up for it. I just can't help but ended up watching it in one go.

It's quite bad if we apply mdl standard rating system; at least that is what I personally think. I've watched kdramas & cdramas which are very mediocre & forgettable and yet it's rated still high with the rating of at least 7.5/7.6. Yeah, jdramas are criminally rated low here on mdl imao. When it comes to jdramas, reading comment section is the only & best way to figure out whether the drama is worth your time or not. Sorry for long reply; I don't normally rant this much but today I'm a little more sensitive than usual. Just my personal take, anyway.

Mdl ratings are really a joke; when it comes to kdramas, it's rated so high even the average & mediocre ones, and yet when it comes to jdramas, it's always criminally low even the best ones. I'm not saying this's the best one but it definitely deserves more than this. I normally don't care much abt mdl rating but still can't help feeling pissed off.

DOTS= drama of the season. It just simply means that this drama is personally my most fav one among airing dramas during the particular season/period. Sorry if it confuses you😅.
