NOW, "WHY DID I NOT SEE YOUR ARTICLE EARLIER" IS THE QUESTION. I opened MDL to read reviews on The King's Avatar and decide if I should watch it as I'm not a fan of gaming either. I happened to stumble across your profile and read this article. Leo Wu and Luhan in the same drama wow, sounds like the next drama on my PTW. Thanks a ton for this article!!!!!
I started my drama journey with cdramas but often skipped historicals. I've just started my historical drama journey with Romance of Tiger and Rose. I was confused with what Xianxia and wuxia meant, now I'm clear thanks to your amazing article! Will check out untamed, ashes of Love and love and redemption!!
Why do I feel that it would take forever for the ML and FL to start having feelings for each other! I feel so…
They already have a good chemistry even tho they don't have feelings yet. I think the balance between genres is very well done so far. Since it's a slow burn romance, I think they'll realise their feelings after ep 10. We haven't seen half of the drama yet!
Sometimes low-rated shows become our absolute favourites and high-rated shows are just ehh. Before I joined MDL, I used to watch recommendation videos on YouTube and binge dramas. After joined MDL, I was surprised to find my favourites rated below 8!! My love from the ocean: 7.4 The heirs: 7.5 Mountains and ocean: 7.6 I like to be on the safe side and often watch dramas above 8.4 nowadays lol. I took the "risk" with 7 First Kisses recently (6.9 on MDL) only because it's a very short drama, about 10 min per episode (8 eps). For the rec, I absolutely hated It's Okay To Not Be Okay even tho it has a 9.1 lol
"In 1987, Im Soo Ho and Eun Young Cho are students at a prestigious university in Seoul." So this is going to be an university romance...
I don't think we have North and South Korea like CLOY cuz only the adaptation part of the plot says "Adapted from the handwritten notes of a man who escaped from a political prison camp in North Korea" while the actual plot is about university students as leads and the ML who lived in Germany. Maybe we might get Jung hae in speak in German like Song Joong Ki speaking Italian :))
