I'll look forward to them! And I'm not going to wish you luck on the dissertation because you don't need it, you have skill.

I loved this drama too...
And I really appreciated your analysis. You articulated a lot of what I thought--but yours was much more clearly delineated. The article content was very strong and you crafted a very user-friendly structure for us to read it. I was incredibly impressed by your organization and formatting--which worked equally well in light and dark mode.
If your dissertation reflects the strength of your writing here, it's going to be most excellent. I hope to see more articles from you in the future!

I was thinking the same thing! definitely has the vibes...

hmmm...if you take the word mafia out of the description, doesn't this sound like "where your eyes linger" (with a much racier cover)?

thanks for making this list public! I've been in a bit of a slump with dramas, but I've really liked the two jdramas that I pulled from here. Feels great to have something I'm excited about watching AND I don't have to wait from week to week for the next episode.

If I spoke/typed emoji I would reflect that right back...

Just had a friend (I'm in the US) tell me yesterday that the local uni's vet training cost @ $280K and graduates expect to earn around $60K annually. If her husband weren't earning some good $$$, she couldn't have completed the program or managed the debt...continued to elaborate that only people seriously passionate about the field go into it because of this. There are a lot of more lucrative and easier options [in her words]. I loved your question.

Can't help smiling here...I watched/really enjoyed that series as well & I hardly watch any western media these days.

thanks so much for this thread! It made this already great drama even richer with nuance I hadn't considered before.

3b no koibito is a great currently airing drama for cohabitation

thanks for such a thorough and persuasive article! I really loved Eternal Love & Ashes of Love, but I put this on hold after 10 episodes. I was wary of the roller coaster I knew was coming. But you've convinced me to revisit it. much appreciated!

sorry for coming late to the conversation. I think your request for personal bookmarks is the same as my suggestion. I've linked it below.

I've had this on my plan to watch list on VIKI- mostly because of Leo Luo and the plot seemed moderately interesting. But I haven't gotten around to actually watching. Unfortunately, now I'm even more conflicted about whether I should.

Thanks for the honest review! If I do view it, at least I'll have a better idea of what I'm getting into.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed Better Man. It's one of those dramas that hasn't blurred with all the others I've watched. Glad to see you recommend it!

you convinced me to give it a shot too! thnx...

I'm glad I watched it too! Thanks for the recommendation. I don't think I would have stumbled onto it by myself.

y...I could remember exactly 2 scenes from the 347+ days worth of dramas I've watched (although given the swimming team/themed shows and some of the more recent Thai dramas I've watched I know I've seen tons more). I can recall Kim Hyung Joong putting on his shirt (just getting dressed in the morning) in Boys Over Flowers; the other that comes to mind is George Hu in a shower scene from Love Now. And I remember the second one mostly because the FL was so aggressive...

what a great addition to this very well-crafted analogy... your suggestion covers the sometimes painfully poor visual effects or random things like everyone having the same distinctive ringtone (love designer)

I'm new to Thai dramas as well. I keep referring to this article by Brownie to try and distinguish between series and lakorns. I still don't have it down, but the article might help you get started.

or even worse, starting a J-drama and really liking it, then realizing that it has only been partially subbed. I've done this a couple times when I carelessly assumed that the entire drama had been subbed. oh the agony...
