I first saw Kim in Thara Himalai and even though I was more smitten with Margie and Boy's drama but I really loved the doting sister role she got. I think I really stopped following Kim after Suer because all her roles became really similar to one another. I still pop in and try to watch most of her lakorns though. I just never happen to finish them because I'm prone to dropping dramas that are still airing ^^ Really nice guide to Kim and really great picks as well. I really enjoyed Raeng Pradtanaha and love the OST in there as well.
This one definitely slipped past my radar, even though I remember Prima posting photos about it on Instagram and thinking that the outfits were pretty XD. I can tell from your gifs, photos, and information that this would a fun Isan-centered drama to watch. I felt like I've seen Ohm around a lot so I wasn't even aware that this is only his first leading role. Congrats to him! Btw, love the color scheme!
Really enjoyed another one of your article Soju! These articles are my cup of tea because I once wanted to be a researcher who analyzes surveys and all these boring things (that I find fun XD). So, right when I saw that it was a survey, I got super excited to continue reading.
There was one issue with the wording of your survey/how you presented your article that I felt could have been a little leading into that most viewers do see female villains in a bad light. Question 6 stated: "It is generally understood that female villains are more hated by the audience than male villains. Actresses that play female villains are also more likely to get hate than their male counterparts." So you're pretty much leading your respondents to say that "yes! female villains are worse than their male counterparts!" This possibly could pass (still biased) if it was solely based on how people perceive female villains, but from your intro section, it sounds like you wanted an opinion on male vs. female. Instead, it should've just asked a very broad/non-bias who is worse, male or female villains kind of thing. Then leading to a why one more than the other or their thoughts on both male and female. Leading to my curiosity that if it weren't worded that way, would it make a difference in the results of this survey.
Oh! Another question I would have liked to see was if the respondents were male/female and if that affects their view on male and female villains. However, I'd understand that many would've probably like to keep that information private. Also, many factors haven't been looked at, and I think you could even write a whole thesis on this topic! But a lot of your respondents gave some excellent and interesting points that could be dissected into even more to give a super fun analysis of the perspective of female villains.
I think a lot of western media has this issue, but I feel that overall, we are starting to see fewer 1 or 2-D female villains and are moving towards more dynamic ones in shows these days. At least I feel like I see the effort. I wouldn't say I hate female villains more than male ones or vice versa. I do like more fleshed-out villains, though. I feel like, as Devitto touched on, villains (whatever gender) is evil for the sake of providing conflict, and so I don't think too much into this.
Btw, I can tell you put a lot of thought into the format, color schemes, and photos. Thank you for all that effort! I really really really enjoyed this read, and if I have time in the future, a good idea to dive into, and the guts to ask people to participate, I'd love to do a survey/analysis kind of thing too. They're so fun to go through when you get down to the analysis part! However, I don't foresee that happening; props to you on this! Ok, I'm done with my essay now XD Thanks again, Soju! :)
I saw comments about the similarity and was thinking about checking it out as well but got kind of thrown by the…
It honestly sounds like it'll be a real good watch! It's only a matter of finding the time to squeeze it in. Thanks for letting me know though since I've been sitting on the fence about watching it or not. :)
I try to separate a “good” movie from a “well made movie” bc I think there are definitely cases where…
I think it's great that you try to separate the two as I can't imagine sitting down and enjoying a movie if your mind is on fight mode to pick up all cues that may make it a bad movie.
Definitely agree with you on that! Having these kind of discussion is how great ideas are made as well. I went and read your other articles and I do hope you write more articles like these if you have time :)
I love reading articles where people take their knowledge and apply it to something. Probably why I like reading research articles and debunking articles so much. So your article was a really fun read :) I had a coworker who has a brother who studied film and he seemed really critical of what he thought was good/bad. It makes me wonder how many people this happens to because it happens to me. As someone who studied marketing, I can't help but point out lousy ppl. Then there are people who it doesn't bother at all.
I have seen none of these XD but I enjoyed this article so much and your little memes at the beginning <3 Found family dramas are just so wholesome and warm and uplifting and break your heart a lot more when it ends. So, I can't agree with you more!
Quiet love, slow burn, or any kind that's not a piece of treat dangling in my face is my kind of romance. I actually haven't seen 90% (only seen 'A Piece of your Mind') of these but your description on 'Do You Like Brahms?': introverts finding happiness in their own little bubble amidst the chaos of the outside world. That makes me want to go watch it right now XD.
Congrats on your first article! It was a great read :)
I've been stalking this article to see when it'll get published XD Congrats on this second article that really highlights the drama for what it is. I highly agree with you that I got into the show not expecting it to be a bit heavier until ep 7/8. But that's how they get you - when you've already invested so much into the drama and characters. XD
I had the same questions you listed above about the Gwangju Uprising. I tried looking up the Gwangju Uprising after I watched the show but I'm still quite lost on the details.
0_0 You have the 'Puppet Prince' on here! I feel like not many has watched it. I remember my first time coming across a fmv on yt and being sad I couldn't find it. Hopefully, this article will help it receive some traction to the 2-part movies! Apart from that, I've seen none of the other ones :( I've been meaning to watch 'How long will I love you,' for 2 months now but I have mixed priorities so it's just sitting on my list.
Thanks for this nice little article though, it has a good set of movies that are right up my alley :)
you are welcome! If you do watch it, and don't mind sharing, I'd like to hear your thoughts on it :)
omg!! You don't know how happy this makes me :) I'm thrilled that you went to watch it and enjoyed it! Right?! Xu Bin and his gaze towards Fengcao... I don't see that kind of gaze depicted in dramas anymore. Or none that made me feel the same as Xu Bin did <3 I pick convincing gazes like that over forced sugary physical touches like kisses.
Agree that Uncle Long was a bit over the top with everything really but it seems like he doesn't have bad intentions so I didn't mind him much. Let me know how Golden Bride goes for you. I know I won't have time to start that right now but if it goes well then I'll really push it up on my list. Thank you for sharing with me :)
omg! I totally forgot about this one! It's been so long since I've seen the mv. Thanks for re-sharing it with…
It was by chance. Go to Thailand during holidays like Songkarn and they'll be an abundance of free shows to attend. Got to see Palmy as well. I love seeing different countries and their sign languages and this one was really touching <3
I was sooo confused throughout the video because I haven't seen HIStory (not sure if it had anything to do with…
lol, I plan to get to the series sometime soon. It's in my queue and staring at me XD so hopefully now that I know that at least there are twins, I won't be so confused when I get to it.

sounds good, I'm always open to talk about anything. So send me a msg even if it's not about golden bride :)
haha, I try to keep it inconspicuous that I'm still repping as a cassie XD
