I wanna add Hard to Find (28 eps) and Butterflied Lover (22 eps). Each eps 20-22 mins. Both of them are very great series. The ML roles were played by Zhao Yi Qin (Provoke ML).
You can check them out if you haven't watched both of the dramas yet. They are very very GOOD. Both of them were written by the same writer (Zhao Lin) of Provoke and A Familiar Stranger.
Turns out that certain critics who come here to 'comment in style, feeling justified' --- are blind. Can't they see the phrase, 'sadomasochistic relationship' in the synopsis of this drama? Wonder why these " intellectual critics" expect something logical, emotionally stable, perfect & rosy, charming characters when the synopsis says otherwise. Either such critics themselves must be out of their mind or they love to torment themselves by watching dramas that don't match their preferences , and derive some sort of personal satisfaction by venting their anger on the content?
If drama production people start indulging in self- censoring to meet ideal, ethical standards, then there will be no room for unique stories. I too enjoy watching dramas with strong female leads and beautiful stories. At the same time, I also enjoy watching dramas with weak female leads, but beautiful/enticing, unique stories with happy endings. In all, I enjoy watching dramas with all kinds of plots that come in all kinds of interesting combinations and and that come with all combination of protagonists with all kind of combinations of personality /character traits. Otherwise, where's the fun in watching a usual drama with a usual plotline? Lol!
P. S: Just enjoy watching different stories that come with packages of different plot and character combinations instead of taking it personally.lol!
I absolutely loved the historical part. The modern part wasn't executed well. The sageuk portion was deliciously angst ridden. It could have been a whole movie by itself. Love rewatching the sageuk bits.
