From Barbados here, we've never had Korean dramas, but we've had a bunch of old timey Chinese dramas airing on…
I've realized that as well. Much of the newer people are coming over from K-pop. As much as I tend to cringe at the mention of idol actors they're having the intended effect and they're not as bad as pre 2015 anymore.

Love this article! I'm from Portugal and I am a viewer of asian dramas (Korean, Chinese and Taiwanese) since 2018.…
Thanks for reading (•‿•). I'd love to hear about the experience from Portugal too. I often wonder about things like wait time subtitles outside of English.

What a wonderful idea ! I love the concept, it's both insightful and fun. Your writing was also really nice. Just…
Thank you and that's a fun idea too. There's a much older article here on MDL about someone going out to see the filming of Heirs when they were in LA. It'll be a pain to find but I loved the idea nonetheless.

Because no one cares about modern Mbc drama even tho I respect your opinion if you like it
If that is the case it's sad in so many ways. Personally I find MBC currently the best out of the three free to air Korean Networks. They've all been steamrolled by TvN and the like but certainly MBC has come out with more out of the book dramas in recent years as a result.

What's with the low rating? Like the story's interesting, the music's great and the acting is amazing (especially…
It has something to do with the quick to assume who seemed to think the drama would be some kind of age gap romance.

hahaha this made me laugh so hard, pls keep up the good work! these kind of articles are amazing
Thanks for reading. I didn't even need to work hard for it to be funny, the drama just lends itself to being a punchline. XD

Hilarious and honest review, I enjoyed Partners for Justice and I’m hoping for a season 3. I did have to suspend…
I actually heard it was delayed or in limbo now because the inhouse director at MBC left.

I thought this article was going to be about Cold Case, the Japanese adaptation of the American show. That drama…
Lol wasn't intending a bait and switch my apologies. I have watched that Japanese adaption though but I slacked up on following the second season.

What I love most about this article is that it shows how MDL articles have come full circle to the point where we can write about writing for MDL. I've enjoyed plenty of your articles Anushka and you seem to have a knack for it.
I would have never figured English wasn't your first language other than a few structural patterns so I can confidently say that your solid in that regards.
I myself am going through something of a writing slump. I thought that with school out I would clear up more time to write, but somehow I'm less motivated than when I was risking it all on that Murder truck article instead of my accounting class. Funny how that works.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A fantastically done article about the most horrifying of events. I think it was last year that I had grown especially interested in this topic regarding Aum. I had known about the Gas attack prior but never really about who was behind it. I went over numerous documentaries and got in the know , sadly I didn't come across any of these films however now that I know I 'll have to look into them.

I'll preface my point regard this drama's impact with the fact I have not watched this drama yet. I also have…
This is perhaps the single best comment I've ever seen on MDL. An article in it's own right. I must agree whole heartedly with everything you've said here.
I wasn't a huge fan of Sisyphus and while I appreciate this article it has done little to convince me otherwise. Sadly or perhaps warranted The Myth will wither away into the background of the minds of most in months.
Additionally more in regards to a pre and post era there's another perhaps smaller influence that I don't see talked about much and it's the gradual acceptance of longer/ feature length episodes. Goblin and TvN are perhaps the most responsible for this. Just looking at more and more of the shows they've put out in recent years seem to have followed that pattern. My Mister, Unfamiliar Family, and even most recently Vincenzo; it creates a certain even more cinematic air around episodes. Even if it feels more popular on Cable networks it interesting to observe.

There an even greater conversation to be had around how cable networks now all but dominate the international image of k-drama. Netflix and JTBC all but rule Netflix and most of the dramas licensed to them, being the shows most pushed easily to international audiences. The slicker, higher production and more often more experimental storytelling has over the less dynamic terrestrial networks and there offerings.
Just look at the Baeksang Art Awards this year not a single non-cable network show was nominated for anything.

While I haven't seen Uncanny Counter yet so I had to quickly gloss over the finer details of the article, I'm certainly up to watch from what I've seen here. That Truck of Doom appearance was pretty spectacular though. I imagine they only survived because they were super beings. That build is Truck- kun's final form.
