Dear writer(s),The scene of the two main leads running towards each other and standing on opposite sidewalks,…
I think that was actually good because of that, we knew something bad will happen, we knew someone will get hit by a car or something among these lines, that's why the scene was tense
She forgot the events of her life, but remembers everything else, how to do her job, what her job even is, what korea is, driving too.....awfully convenient that long term memory damage of hers.
ep12- with both suspect and the gold submerged under the sea, and no eyewitness to prove di renjie's story, everything is just speculation and he should still be the prime suspect. there is nothing proving he didn't just made it all up and secretly got rid of hou yu somewhere. The gold smuggling stopped? Well if Di Renjie was the culprit behind all that, of course he'd stop that as soon as someone suspects him.
immortality is a curse if a person alone is immortal, he will eventually get tired of life. Although it will be…
if he's tired of life, he can just freeze himself or something. tho old people usually get tired of life not because they lived long, but because their mental and physical health goes to shit and they can't enjoy life like they used to.
I never said I don't like this kinda acting tho, just meant that average person will probably find it hard to digest or get immersed into, hence j-dramas aren't as warmly received abroad as dramas from other countries. Also I dunno what you meant by shoujo manga live actions, tbh I have only seen one j-drama that fits that description, normally I don't even like romance genre.
But I agree that live action adaptations of manga source material are usually inferior to it, and anime adaptations are much better (just look for example at attack on titan live action vs anime, or promised neverland, or kakegurui). However, the issue is not just overacting but also budget and direction, when people laugh at attack on titan live action they primarily mean changes from the story for the worse, and if they laugh at death note they mean a bad job at show not tell, etc etc
Personally my worst viewing experience was at watching promised neverland live action movie tho, loved the manga and anime, and then live action....casting teens/young adults in children roles, casting overweight tanned asian woman as supposedly menacing black woman Krone, combined with usual shenanigans, just no I gave up 1/3 through lmao
How is it that koreans can make great webtoon adaptations (example tommorow, along with the gods, sweet home, etc) but japanese struggle to adapt manga so much? But perhaps I digress.
Anyway, I'll give a try to some of the titles from that list you mentioned, if I can find them anywhere. Actually, already seen one of them and it was good, now to find the rest!
I belong to the 1% who has not watched and will not even watch this one... Usually I skip the ones that look like…
For some reason, I usually have the same attitude. Started watching k-dramas 2~ years ago and I still haven't seen any of the most popular and most of highest rated. But here I jumped on the hype train and don't regret it.
well I dunno, but from the j-dramas and movies I've seen so far they act like it's anime irl or kabuki which is understandably hard to digest and seen as corny by people not used to it
no, because japanese dramas have lower quality, lower budget, subpar acting and are shot with camera lenses that are 20 year old, which makes them fail to compete with much better c-dramas, k-dramas and even thai lakorns
most people who watch j-dramas are either weebs or former weebs (like myself), a small subculture of people who started watching them 20 years ago and can't move on, and literal boomers in japan
This is their real self
And the drama is distorted?
