Like my username suggests, zyadaatar meri sabse manpasand hindi ki filme bahut puraani hain, so for "family" recommendations, I would offer Brahmachari , for a special kind of family and the magic of Shammi and Rafi together

For an Amir film with AWFUL parents, try Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak - the wonderfully upbeat happy first song gives no clue of what's to come

My favourite Dramaland parent-child bond is the one in Bara No Nai Hanaya, with the r94 parents not far behind. Of the 400 or so Indian films I've watched Baghban must be the WORST - the very CONCEPT is repellent, that a parent is "God", and there's not a single likeable character in the film. Amitabh has been in some very dire films in his long career, that stinker a serious contender for top 3 awful

TW and 60 eps?!

Found Her! :) https://kisskh.at/people/43933-wu-yu-tong

Who plays the sister, Gu Si?

Came to her page here to see what else she'd been in, amazed that Girlfriend is her debut - a pretty, good actor (comma important!:)

I absolutely LOATHE supernatural and fantasy elements, and will not watch any Drama built around them. The idea of watching Goblin is very literally repellent to me.

It's fascinating that all the shows mentioned in both the article and the comments are shows I've actively avoided and am glad to have done so. In the 7 years I've been watching Dramas very, very few have left me struggling to move on. The ones that did, even a little, were mostly those that felt a bit incomplete, like Hannari Girori no Yoriko-san, Okitegami Kyoko no Biboroku and Otenki Onee-san. All my super faves tended to leave me feeling very satisfied, happy to rewatch some of them, but ont feeling like I was missing anything, and that inlcudes shows like Miss Korea, A Love So Beautiful and Yeah That's How It Is which I marathonned addicitively.

Wow! Can't believe she's 20 - it seems like just yesterday that I watched her die in a children's ward! :)

Fated To Love You is possibly the ONLY Drama where I saw the original first yet VASTLY prefer the remake. I hate the way the ML in the original remains an incredibly selfish, misogynist bully for almost the entire series, the Korean ML is a very much nicer person, right from episode one. And I especially hate that in the original the 2FL DELIBERATELY did what she did to the FL, whereas in the 2nd, though the outcome was the same it was not the 2FL's intent. That made it so much easier to forgive. Having an actual ballerina PLAY a ballerina helped, too. :)

So, if the PRC remake also tones down on those elements of the original that I disliked, I will be happy to watch it

no problem hafmo

His name is NOT "Sung Dong" "Sung" is his family name. If you want to call him by just his given name, it's "Dong Il", not "Sung Dong"

SUNG DONG IL! You mention his appearance in Reply 1988, the only one of the three I can't be bothered watching, but his performances in 97 and 94 , are AMZING! His cancer scenes, so powerful and moving, and of course the incredible partnership with Lee Il Hwa, they anchor both of the 1st two "Reply"s

Thank you for the VERY well expressed reply. I Shall persevere, chanting the addicts Mantra "FF is my Friend" for every time the Witch with a B is on screen :)

I should add that I'm perfectly fine with "I choose to let go of hate", it's the nasty K Drama habit of the FSJ-type character actually ending up begging TO BE FORGIVEN by the evil Mother From Hell for having failed to worship and adore the woman who gave birth to her. THAT makes rage homicidal/suicidal, depending on Drama length

Serious question, I really WANT spoilers on this: What happens with the Satanspawn mother? I absolutely HATE Dramas where are mother is the incarnation of evil, then somehow gets forgiven because "Ma!". If this Drama is like that, I will drop. So I need to know, please tell me how much that evil hag is in the Drama and what happens with her?

How does this compare to the J original? I found that one a bit of a chore, and this one's like 600 times longer, so am hesitant about it.

Ling Ling protected them when they analysed Henry's playing, he'll save them here :)

As a fan of TwoSet Violin, I know they're ESPECIALLY scathing of the ludicrous levels of inaccuracy in C-Dramas set in the world of classical music. I wonder if this is will be the next C music Drama they savage? :D
