Not sure if I will watch this drama but love your writing style. Keep up the good work !!!

Thank you for this fan guide. Hopefully sometime in the future, I'll be able to find these films (with english subs) to watch.

Reading this I thought of Cunning Single Lady. The SML was childish and he and his sister (SFL) did their best to take down the ML because the ML and FL choose to be together. The second leads were annoying through the entire drama and I was majorly annoyed that people kept on shipping the FL and SML when there was no romantic attraction on her side.

Totally agree !!! Romantic love is not owed to you just because you do things for the other person, with or without their knowledge.

Maybe you should let Netflix know. There should be accommodations for this. It's ridiculous . I usually use cc even though I don't have an hearing impairment there are times when I don't understand what is being said and I fluently speak English.

Thank you !!! I very much agree !!!

I love Nice Male Leads as well. So sick of thai dramas when the male lead acts like a a**hole. I almost dropped 'Husband in Law ' because of the ML's behavior towards the FL. Thankfully he started acting better but his prior behavior amongst other things caused me to rate the drama a 6.
I also dislike Aggressive/Possessive Male Lead as well as misunderstandings (there is usually no good reason why people can't get together and have a proper chat).

I love Japanese dramas and movies because they rarely waste time getting to the point. Almost finished with Hajimete Koi wo Shita Hi ni Yomu Hanashi (2019) and I love it .

Really enjoyed this drama and had a good laugh . So glad the FL was not a pushover.

I would not call it a dictatorship because dictatorship parenting is all encompassing. Meaning they try to control all aspects of the lives of their loved one. So, I would call him a bit controlling. From what I remember of the movie, the marriage part was the only thing we saw him being controlling about. All other aspects of Rahul's life seemed normal. My reference point for this an old Mexican telenovela that I watched as a teenager called 'Juego de la Vida' . One of the characters, Daniela had a father who was a dictator. Always checking in on his kids and his wife and treating them like cr*p. He did he best to control where they went and who they hung out with. In addition to physically abusing his daughter.

Thanks for the Bollywood mixture. I used to watch a lot of Indian moves. I love that you mention Queen and Taare Zameen Par (2007). They bring something fresh to the Bollywood scene. Will make it a point to watch Dangal.

P.S. Under what category would you put K3G ?

Watashitachi wa Douka Shiteiru (2020) and Unsung Cinderella

Thank you for the update !!! Can't wait to watch them. Hopefully, I can find them subbed.

Thank you for the info.

Also, please refrain from statements such as "kindly change the first few lines of ur review... " It comes off as condescending. All you needed to say is 'The story is based on a properly published Thai novel, the one in wattpad is just a fan translation" and I would have changed that line in my review.

Having a bigger budget than most does not mean that they can move to multi-seasons. As I stated earlier, each country has their reason for producing shows the ways they do and it is advantageous to them.

In addition, we also can't talk about multiple seasons without talking about episode content and amount. For example, I love British detective shows (Poirot, Vera. They have multiple seasons (series) but have an average of 6-8 episodes per season. This allows the show to tighten its script thus giving the viewer better content. If the Korean drama industry wanted to do multi-seasons they would have to trim the fat (and fluff) and they might not want to because it might hurt their bread and butter (ad revenue, etc).

In general, It is better not to compare each country's tv landscape. TV shows are specific lengths for a reason. It could be that audiences' attention span in those countries are short or that having limited seasons allows for the industry to thrive, or etc.

I for one can't stand dramas with multiple seasons. The shorter the length of drama the better, because it leaves less room for filler episodes. I stand by this because I have invested years in shows that got worse as the seasons continued. And as a the person I am today, I will no longer invest my time in dramas that have multiple seasons. I have better things to do.

I totally love this drama. I started watching because of Sangmin storyline but Sangtae/Ahn Mijung stole the show for me. Five Enough breaks the viewer away from the typical Kdrama family storyline and brings in topic of merging a family in a realistic way. Have watched this 2 or 3 times already.

No, I didn't. I pieced together what was going on based on the youtube comments for each episode.

Under Chinese dramas I would suggest "When a Snail Falls" and "Ode to Joy".

I didn't watch the other 2 but I did watch Cunning Single Lady. I loved Ae Ra and understood where she was coming from. Based on what happened, their marriage was no surprise. It sort of made me angry at the ML because he was so oblivious to the how bad they were financially and the toll it was taking on his wife, who picked up the slack. I also hated that during their marriage he quit his job without having a proper discussion with his wife.
