The comment that I replied to linked to a blog, which had a link to the google drive folder. I haven't checked it recently, so I don't know if all of the films are still there.

I think French and Japanese cinema have a similar amount of range and diversity. They both make all different types of films, and they even had a New Wave at around the same time.

What's your favorite Journey to the West adaptation?

I agree. Japan is my favorite country for both Asian movies and dramas because there's so much variety, for both the types of stories and the style.

I've only seen 3 Taiwanese dramas. Which Taiwanese dramas would you recommend?

There should be an option to skip a round, for people who haven't watched the dramas. Otherwise the game is pointless, because people will vote randomly.

I found this list of rural Japanese dramas, and some are post-2010: https://kisskh.at/list/e10dqaa1

I haven't seen any of them, so I'm not sure what to recommend. The only rural drama that I've watched so far is Kita no Kuni Kara (1981).

It's an outdated rule. It should have been changed when TV shows were added to MDL.

The MDL database includes TV shows. Why shouldn't they count? There are already a lot of MDL articles about TV shows.

And who is "we"? I just checked the rules, and it doesn't say anything about TV shows not counting.

BTS has made more than 50 TV shows. Is 50 not enough? How many acting credits are required?

IU is both an actress and a K-pop artist, just like the members of BTS. What's the difference?

Fan guides about K-pop artists are allowed, as long as you focus mainly on dramas and TV shows. 2 fan guides have already been written about IU.

Why are there no images in the reality show section?

"The image used is that of Journey to the West (2016)"
I think you mean 1996. When I click the link under the image, it takes me to the 1996 version.

I think I watched it in 2009. Maybe I'll rewatch it someday.

Even in the days before MDL existed, 1 Litre of Tears was very popular on review websites. I remember almost everyone gave it a 10/10.

Are you thinking of Ugetsu?

Kita no Kuni Kara was the last J-drama that I watched before publishing this article, and I'm glad I did. I think it might be my all-time favorite, but Suika comes pretty close.

I just added Dr. Koto's Clinic to my plan-to-watch list. Is it mainly a medical drama, or is it also slice-of-life?

Takuya Kimura (the lead actor in Mr. Brain) is a great actor. Long Vacation and Hero are great too. In Hero he solves cases, so you'll probably like that one.

Unfortunately none of the 70s Taigas seem to have subtitles available online (at least not that I could find), so it's lucky that you got to watch them on TV.

Yes, Kurosawa's movies are great. I would recommend High and Low and Throne of Blood if you haven't seen them. If you like samurai movies then I also recommend Harakiri directed by Kobayashi.

It's one of my favorites too. You might also like the 1983 movie version of Kazoku Game (I don't think it's as good as the 2013 version, but it's still worth watching).

If you like Tokyo Love Story, you might also like Long Vacation. It's my favorite trendy drama, and it stars Takuya Kimura.

The Great White Tower and Jin are both good.
