The problem isn't slow pace, I am currently watching Karamazov no Kyodai which isn't very slow but its not as fast either.
These are the problems with Bite me:
1. Noticeable pauses between sentences, especially when Aek speaks.

2. Long moments of Aue and Aek exchanging soulmate gazes.

3. The story is progressing slowly too; the point of the story was Aue falling for Aek discovering his passion and winning the competition (with a side service of girlfriend trouble I believe?) In 4 episodes, not enough ground has been covered.

4. Lastly, incredibly and actually slow. No, seriously. Bite me feels like a show which was shot at a natural pace and someone reduced the speed to 0.5 to increase the number of episodes.

Kurosawa Bunzo is an abominable asshole but I have nothing but admiration for Yoshida Kotaro. Amazing actor, I love how he can pull off such a wide variety of roles.

Thanks for this. I love how nobody talks about the rape aspect here. If Rui hadn't stopped those guys and they had carried on with it, I wonder if this show would be as popular as it is.

I just love how Makino goes around punching people in slow motion but at the one moment when her fighting skills would truly have been important, she just stands there. 4.5/10 for HYD.

I forced myself to finish this one because I don't drop series unless they're too long, and I came to the same conclusion. The side characters were some of the best here and the F4 friendship was strong. Otherwise this one was quite, "trash" as you call it 😂

I have not watched the anime, neither have I read the manga but this drama was awesome to watch. There were no filler episodes, nothing slow. The ending was good too. 8.0/10 on my rating scale

I am glad I watched this despite the discouraging reviews at the top. I gave it a 8.0 and wrote this review because I feel there are some aspects to Ishi no Mayu which weren’t mentioned here at all

Try scrolling through the comments :)

The episodes are available legally on TaiwanPlus youtube. The production is so wonderful that I feel bad watching it for free. Awesome skull collections btw but it isn't nearly as gruesome as I thought it would be

I am removing this from my watchlist. I am very particular about maintaining my graph and honestly its not the wait that I am pissed about but I am pissed about what I get at the end of it. Not worth it. I would rate it a 3.5 but I can't mark this as complete so...

I am also watching a gl production, Legend of Yunze, which is taking time to get released too but at least it is delivering on the drama. Its a small production too but its a simple story.

Just a heads up, don't unnecessarily complicate your story and make it drag out for no reason.

Thank you! I really loved this one a lot and I wrote the review while I was still in those "feels" haha 😂 hope you like(d) it too

A cute one :)

Okaeri Mone was my first asadora and I was so impressed that I wrote an article on it! Many people who checked out my article were motivated to check out Okaeri Mone and some also said that they liked it. Definitely worth it

You summed it up so well Kez

I was sure this would be an interesting read so I saved it for bedtime. And it was! It was interesting to see how your drama journey changed.

I haven't been watching dramas for long but since the very beginning I have harboured some dislike for kdramas. I tried a few popular ones which are always trending on the mdl page and eventually dropped them, mainly because I didn't get the hype around them.

On the other hand, jdramas have been like a rabbit hole. A deep one which has something for everybody. I particularly dislike how kdramas have a typecast actors.

Jdramas have brought me what I consider more relatable stories, and some are completely bonkers 😂 but that's their charm. Jdramas go beyond romance. They touched me in a way kdramas couldn't.

Kdramas with their 16 hour formats drag a L O T. I am better off with jdramas :') Doramas also have fabulous cinematography and aesthetics. I even prefer Thai shows over kdramas but I am sure there are many things good about kdramas, they are just not for me

Jdramas tell stories. Kdramas float more on, well I don't want to go that deep but lets just say we won't ever see a kdrama in this age with a plot like Come, Come Everybody (asadora)

Well most people did generic reviews on the whole thing so I didn't bother and I mostly just forgot about this 😂 I'll update it sometime dw

I can’t with these reruns anymore 😂

Yup

I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t fluff but neither was it as emotional as it could have been. The ending should have made me really sad but somehow I wasn’t as emotionally gripped by the episode.

This might be because I really need coffee and pain reliever right now but I think its mostly because
•too short, the story really couldn’t flesh out as much was needed to cover the ground
•great acting, the kiss was particularly commendable because it looked natural but the sudden mood swings Sun was having were funny. One moment he was cold ml and the next he was being a joyful cupcake
•cliches, lots of them but its okay really
I would rate it a 6.5/10 for ep 1

Wabi sabi is uploading it too :)
