IMO, what is far more likely is that the Dispatch is a covert asset of one (or more) corrupt state investigation…
Your watchlist is public for anyone to look at. I haven't seen My Demon so I have no idea what the fuss is about, and I despise Dispatch. In response to what mostersnroses commented, I asked you a question about why you've rated so many dramas 1 star while not indicating that any episodes were watched at all. That raises suspicion in those of us who have been on MDL for a long time and have been asking for an overhaul of the ratings system here.
But that's what reviews are! (Personal opinions.) It helps with the overall ratings to have good reviews out there and it also helps other people want to see it (and I think more folks should see this film too.)
Like I wrote in the review, I tried to watch episode 2 and was willing to update the review if the show improved.…
Most dramas need more than 15 minutes, or even the first episode to set up where they're trying to go. Ratings, IMHO, shouldn't be given after only watching one episode.
I hope you write this comment as a review as well - it's really well-said
He was morose for a reason...which was one of the whole plots of the drama. I wrote in my review that it's one of the best portrayals of depression and social anxiety that I've ever seen on screen. He wasn't tsundere in the classic sense, in my opinion, he had significant depression and anxiety. I'm not saying that he was easy to be around, it's obvious that everything in his life suffered because of his illness, but as he learned to love and accept himself (and someone else) more, his mood and his environment lightened. The lighting even went from pretty dark to much lighter by the end.
This is a drama I love to rewatch. Suzuki Jin with his beautiful caramel-colored skin and doe-eyes, is like a precious puppy in love and I just love how LOVE, no matter the ages of the characters, wins in the end.
You could add HIStory 2: Crossing the Line, (with the always-wonderful Fandy Fan), as it is a short drama about volleyball (and love of course.) I loved Fly the Jumper, and think the rating should be higher on here (as with most other-than-Korean dramas. Taiwanese dramas like these have been a favorite of mine for years.) Another addition could be the very quirky one-episode "Love Set", within the Persona anthology. The setting is a tennis match between IU and Bae Doo Na that gets very intense, very quickly.
J-movies: Cheer Boys, (about cheerleading) - I really liked it and it had several faves of mine in it. Bow Then Kiss, (about archery) - I didn't know much about this sport beforehand.
Some additions: I really liked Nothing But You, where I learned a lot about both badminton and tennis (my oldest son plays tennis so I found it helpful in that way.) It's not a short web series, of course, so it doesn't fit your criteria, I just thought I would add it here. I also learned a LOT about the game Go from Reply 1988.
