I've watched it years ago (rented a dvd) and watched it again raw. Of course, didn't understand a word, but I remembered most of the plot, so it was easy to follow. Sorry for not being of help...
It may be ur bias partly but the real u liked it bcz japanese make anything with their heart n the emotions are…
It true that some j-dramas invest more on emotions and conveying social messages, and do it in the most compelling way, but there are also many k-dramas that are also successfully provoking. I'm trying to find and enjoy the best each country has to offer ^^
An interesting and insightful documentaristic presentation of the Uyghur minority, their everyday life, tradition and struggles, through the eyes of three kids, their friendship and families. Beautiful landscape scenes and naturalistic filming of these kids playing are among the film's strengths.
Nostalgic, emotional and equally funny, inspiring but not didactic. A realistic depiction of the harsh everyday life of rural China in the 90s, with lots of cleverly buried messages/criticism, and a wonderful red-cheeked girl playing a stubborn child teacher.
Though it's 17y older, I liked this version more than its korean remake. Is it because I'm biased with Tsumabuki Satoshi? I found it more realistic, raw and quirky.
A hidden gem: gripping, unique, original, kickass, grey and very engaging. For mature, not for the faint of heart audience -as it has many violent, raw and disturbing scenes-, with great story, acting, visuals, music. For the ones who liked "Bad Guys" this is highly recommended!
A peculiar movie that mixes many genres in a very intriguing way through the non-overlapping stories of some neglected and lonely misfits and their longing for happiness. Compelling performances and poignant cinematography that beautifully depicts the eerie but serene apocalyptic atmosphere, which surprisingly evokes a sense of optimistic catharsis.

Beautiful cinematography and delicious traditional Japanese sweets, but, unfortunately, the stiff acting -especially from the FL-, the lazy writing and the repetitive flashbacks made this drama feel like a chore somehow.
Superb work and presentation, dear friend! Even though I'm not a devoted fan of c-dramas, I'm tempted to check some of the ones you mentioned! Συγχαρητήρια!!!
An interesting samurai movie, spiced with financial corruption and a tragic love story. Balancing between intense, excellently choreographed swordfights and picturesque calm scenes, this beautifully filmed and edited movie may not be as fast-paced as expected, but nonetheless a solid, entertaining watch.
