What happen to Taiwanese dramas. I cannot find any good ones anymore
There have been some good ones the past few years.. just that they're not that popular. But yes, I agree - the quality of TW dramas have declined. Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, I practically watched every T drama. They were so so good.
Some really good T dramas from recent years -
The World Between Us Someday or One Day Nowhere Man On Children
YES for Mars! What a masterpiece! I liked the other dramas you mentioned as well.
There are too many brilliant dramas from that era, but these are some of my MUST WATCH recommendations:
The Rose (Taiwanese) In A Good Way (Taiwanese) Love, Now (Taiwanese) Kekkon Dekinai Otoko (Japanese) Soredemo Ikite Yuku (Japanese) Zeni Geba (Japanese) Byakuyako (Japanese) Sawan Biang 2008 (Thai) Queen In Hyun's Man (Korean) The Legend (Korean)
I concur with the comments. I have no idea wtf I just watched. It's like the editing team just patched different scenes together one after the other. The film lacked flow. The direction was unique. I didn't hate it completely, but some of the camera angles did throw me off at times in that they were distracting to the dialogue. Sometimes, you gotta let the camera stay at the actor's face & not have it move all the freaking time. The characters also didn't have much development or back story. I don't know it just felt like the entire team got together for a few days, and were like let's do what we can with this. I wouldn't recommend this.
This wasn't as bad as the comments / reviews, but yes it could have been a lot better. I wish the focus was more on the romance between the leads, rather than the 2nd ML's childishness which hogged up so much screen space, and the boring side stories of the FL's friends. Generally, I don't comment on the path a show should have gone, but in the case of this drama, I expected different based on the first few episodes. I expected a whirlwind kinda romance, given that the leads were in love for 3 lives. The leads did a decent job, but the script failed to deliver why their connection was so special. Very lazy writing IMO.
Exactly!! Like I've actually started to look forward to watching him in a movie / drama. Previously, it was just like ahh, he's in the cast ok. Great minds really do think alike hehehe :)
Ahhhhhh yes. Drive My Car was good. I was just looking at his filmography & I just realised I've seen him in so many dramas & movies but he's only grown on me in the past 1-2 years.
:) Btw, did you see his 2021 dramas, Kakenai & Omameda Towako? He was so so charming in both!! I really fell in love with him after those 2 dramas hehe

Date is so awesome!! Very clever & witty for a romcom. Agree, it's so underrated.
