My comment is over 5 years old and Miss Japan Pageant holder around that time was also a hafu. You do not have to be so hostile sheesh. Someone having a different opinion to yours is not a crime. I don't get why people are hostile over something that is a positive given Japan xenophobia. Here is the hafu Miss Japan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariana_Miyamoto
You should do yourself a favor and be more open minded. I am not continuing this I am blocking you

I am talking about a trend. If you name 4 dramas you can have one with a Japanese actress of European descent. There is a reason actresses like Koyuki are not in vogue anymore. If you think I am wrong prove it. Simply disagreeing does not prove your point
Interesting taste. Kudos to you.I love great dialogues/monologues. However, i'd never stay to watch a 16hrs series…
@Normie92 Yes, 16 hours could be very long but at least some time should be spent on the characters instead of explosions both figuratively and literally. If you watch a drama and you never know the favorite color of both leads then to me it did a bad job at romance. I rather call it ""trying to romance "" instead of romance. Your post is pretty cool. I have been looking to recruit writers for my blog. Let me know if you are interested
check out 'Saikou no Rikon' or its korean remake 'Matrimonial Chaos'. One of the better series I've watched in…
Not a fan of Eita so I never watched the Japanese version. I love Ono Machiko so it was tough not to watch lol. The Korean version seemed to have an open ending which put me off it
I'm not sure what kdramas the author was watching before Vincenzo, but there's absolutely nothing new or revolutionary…
Hahaha, finally a like-minded person. I thought I was mad or something. It is certainly nothing new. I skimmed through it. It wasn't bad but it was certainly not groundbreaking. We had dramas like Lovers in Paris from way back in 2006 or so. Korean dramas set outside Korea is nothing new. I didnt watch that but I watched Encounter 2018, which was shot partly in Cuba. I am male so unlike my sister, swooning over Song Joong Ki was not enough to make the drama memorable for me
I found the romance disappointing for all the leads.JTBC usually have this style for their dramas.It could be…
Hahaha I watch dramas for fantasy. If I wanted such crap romance I would put on the news lol. I am looking forward to Vincenzo since the other female lead was in it. Finally, she got a leading role
Oh my gosh! I was so pleasantly surprised with this drama... I clicked on it by accident cos I just wanted to…
I found the romance disappointing for all the leads. JTBC usually have this style for their dramas. It could be considered a Japanese "human "drama style. I found it familiar and not unique. I don't disagree that it was good but the romance was disappointing for all three leads. Two of the male love interests were assholes. What is the point of a strong woman if she was going to date an asshole?
This just me but I'll tell you why I think the rating is fine.. - 2 male actors were good but Hyeri was not up…
To me this drama is like your average Japanese drama: Two male main leads and a female in a supporting role. Even when they do a remake of a story with female CEOs like In Time With You, they replaced female characters with male ones in Japan lol
This yummy guy is a great actor - I'd encourage you to watch his dramas :p And he's also been a regular member…
My issue with Nokdu Flower is that it glamorizes suicide. With a country that has such a huge suicide issue, they take suicide too lightly. They dont even put out suicide hotlines after such scenes. I find it to agree that he was the actual lead in Nokdu. Psychopath Diary was a lot of fun. I also love the actress but there was no romance in it and it was more about the murders than the characters

Hahaha. I love Yoon Shi Yoon but mostly because I am taller than he is so he is not a threat to me as a guy lol. Me Too Flower is his best role to date in my opinion because there was no love triangle with another dude to steal screen time from him
I wouldn't say there's "angst" at all. Yes, it is true that there is a rape-case from the recent past, but there…
Why was he wiping her shoe? I think context is important. A hug between me and a lover or sibling is nice. A stranger hugging you without permission is harassment.
I am not trying to paint manga as sexist. I am pointing out that professionally, a woman was advised to pretend to be a man in order to succeed in the manga industry. And it was an advice that worked

One of my favorite Japanese stories started as a manga called Moteki. I recommend watching the drama or movie. The author of the story was female but was advised by her editor to use a male pseudonym since she was writing shonen. I love her work. I am not saying all manga are sexist. I am saying that the sexism we see in manga are not just comedy, people actually believe such behaviors are okay.

What about this dude? ""If we increase the number of female board members, we have to make sure their speaking time is restricted somewhat, they have difficulty finishing, which is annoying," said Mori, according to the Asahi report. "We have about seven women at the organising committee but everyone understands their place.""

I enjoy romance dramas where the entire series feels like a bottle episode

Suicide is used as a gimmick in most dramas.
Korea trivializes suicide too much and it pisses me off.

People think anime and manga and other content is a joke but people really do believe that women are second class citizens
