i often really struggle with watching kdramas too! i usually prefer jdramas and have only really had a "spark" for kdramas maybe twice. but i would say attorney woo and racket boys are both really great fluffy-types of dramas. they're both incredibly heartwarming without ever feeling slow or boring (at least imo). rackets boys is my only 10/10 kdrama because they genuinely felt like family by the end. attorney woo has a very "kdrama" feel, and with a super super adorable main couple. many people called him boring, but he is the definition of the perfect man.
however, within the top choices, if you're not really looking for angst or sadness or horror then i'd probably skip over happiness, hospital playlist, and move to heaven? but maybe you might like it anyway.
yeah, i have no idea what the drama is about at all (apparently some age gap teacher student relationship thing?), but based on the description alone, the violent school bullying leading to elaborate revenge plan for sure sounds jdrama to me. i mean...even the age gap teacher student relationship sounds jdrama to me lmao
i watched without knowing anything about it besides the general plot and cast and i was already crying in the middle. the end kinda made me sob cuz i was so invested. i think what's sadder than their romance cut short and her not knowing he passed is the fact that he passed away so young. he was so full of life and love and he was literally preparing to come back, but then his life was taken away so quickly and that's horrifyingly tragic and scary to think about.
just the fact that she went her whole life resenting and missing him, yet never would've found out the truth without the exhibition. i really wish they could have a happy ending FOR ONCE, but i suppose they wanted a memorable tearjerker. worse of all, this isn't even a terminal illness movie so no one can see it coming. i suppose they wanted to highlight the value of youth and life, but i'd like to respectfully disagree. please just give me a cute romance movie with a happy ending for once
there are way too many of the same dramas i always see on my ptw. i'm not sure if i'm just too scared to try them out in fear of not liking them, but i usually end up liking them anyway so idk? it could be choice overload too, like i can't choose one to watch cuz i keep thinking there are so many others i could be watching instead. i can't even say HOW MANY dramas i've turned on and watched the intro of, only to turn it off immediately after. over and over and over again, sigh.
i think it's because of the human will he didn't want to die and return to his family alive
hmm i suppose? but i also kind of wish they didn't just have a time skip and showed what he did instead. he looked like he was already pretty close to death before the skip and then he was suddenly out the next scene so it felt a little weird to me?
lmao i read the description and i thought it sounded like a somewhat gorey/action-heavy movie so i checked the tags and i wasn't expecting the first one to literally just be "blood everywhere"
Shun isn't toxic at all - I don't get where you're coming from.
don't tell that to me lol. i always thought he was great besides a couple moments, but that's only natural. i've just never seen a character with a mindset like his and it's fascinating to see it in contrast with her more materialistic workaholic lifestyle. i always found him to be quite relatable to my own mindset. he was quite supportive of her just in his own way.

a lot of people don't like him/hate him because he was quite controlling of the fml at times, like telling her she shouldn't do this or that (esp involving her career and social media) just because he didn't care for it, generally not that supportive of her, and also being wishy washy about liking her. at least that's what i usually read in other's comments. if you scroll down you'd probably see some. it's really sad because i really adored his character and his mindset, but everyone else seemed to hate it
idc what yall say, but i just can't hate shun at all. it's not just because it's ryusei nor is it just because he's an attractive chef man. there's simply something about his personality that truly resonated with me. yeah i suppose he would be considered "toxic" and controlling and i did roll my eyes at him on multiple occasions, but i still can't hate him. there's a lot of morals and ideals and his certain mindset that i've almost never come across in a drama that makes him so fascinating. he feels...too real?
what else can we expect from Sion Sono's works? his works mostly filled with gore, nudity, sexuality, twisted…
lmao exactly, he's infamous for a reason. somehow he makes the most cruel, mature, dark, sad, and absurd stories into introspective pieces (at least imo).
i'm assuming you haven't watched this movie, but it has pretty tame "gore" except certain scenes that is easily skippable. nudity is pretty bare too. there are nude scenes, but sex scenes are covered up. as for tortured women ummm...yeah maybe hard pass on this one
idm the overacting cuz anime and i'm enjoying it quite a bit, but ohmygod the main guy is so irritating. why does he keep screaming and constantly interrupting the games? it's not even his money she's gambling and she obviously knows how to win. dude needs to chill out tbh
