I can recommend "Fall in Love (2021)" one of my favs in terms of Republic Era dramas
Sweet! Added to my list too. Always enjoy watching shows people recommend to understand how others view things and why. I also try not to read the plot and go into dramas blind for a surprise factor but I'm guessing based on the title and era, it will be a little slow paced? Which is fine, I've randomly found VERY slow paced political 'dynasty' era series and to my surprise became addicted to the historical (facts) layers within the drama(s).
Honestly I only watched 5 episodes. Not because it was bad or anything but because I tend to jump around with dramas. Watching 3-5 episodes at a time and depending on my mood, I'll eventually continue a series like this one. However I did recommend this show to a friend whom enjoys the Baki anime series on Netflix (plus others) and he finished the series saying he enjoyed it. Sorry if you were looking for an update on the romance aspect within the drama as I don't think my opinion would be sufficient just yet. I was worried the drama might turn into a 'Kamen Rider' style show due to the supporting actors (ghost hunters) being introduced and what happens to them.
Thanks! Added it to my watch list. I'm terrible at remebering drama names but two other ones I enjoyed from this era were 'Lost in 1949' & 'Tientsin Mystic'. A few times I've even tried finding the towns where they film these shows, to see how they look on certain Chinese map sites (since google lacks new maps and street view in most rural areas).
Wasn't until I randomly stumbled across the "Legendary Tavern" drama on YouTube. Where I now enjoy watching 'Republic of China' era drama's. Between the scenery, clothing, music and much more. I am curious to see how well this series turns out to be. Looks like the first 4 episodes have been added with english subs.
While mainly an American TV series but filmed within the Philippines with most of the cast also being Filipino. It's a decent show. Just like the other users comment, you also get to see what the current Island of Cebu looks like.
I just started to watch pinoy dramas and while browsing around came across this one. While searching for a place to watch it, I found out it's also titled 'FPJ's Ang Probinsyano'. The first 260 episodes are free (with english subs) on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZcdqpPhFas&list=PLPcB0_P-Zlj54p3bbLtBLKwmns_6jT1WN (at the time I am posting this comment).
Almost 1700 episodes in a 7 year time span nets about 245 episodes per year. Each episode is about 40 minutes too. Maybe this show was an hour long with commercials while it was airing. I've only just seen the first episode and have no issues with it based on what I've seen. Still too early to judge the story but production/filming/acting is quite impressive when you think about how fast they must of created and edited each episode. Once I finish a good amount of episodes, I will add another comment/review about this series.
Side note: While watching the first episode the commander (Arthur Acuña) in the series is also in the Amazon Freevee TV series 'Almost Paradise'.
I always thought these "dramas" were actually pure XXX rated shows. With fancy cover art and posters as clickbait. So I always just ignored them whenever I saw posted videos in telegram channels or on drama sites I frequent. Recently a friend who used to recommend Turkish drama's to me, she asked if I could find this movie for her. I thought she was joking and was messing with me but she was serious. When I asked her why she never recommended these styles of dramas before. She thought I already knew about them. I think these genre of dramas are called 'Bomba' in the Philippines. This was the first one of it's kind I've ever seen but I would compare it to some of the late night adult programs displayed on HBO & Cinemax during the mid 2000's.
The movie itself is nothing special and the storyline doesn't have much depth to it. Let alone the film crew can be seen a few times in the movie if you pay attention and can also spot the clothing they wear to appear nude in some scenes. In general, very bland relationship story with a bad guy who's basically a pimp. Queue the ex-bf to come save the day. The only good thing about this movie was the acting. I feel like most of the actors & actresses did a great job, especially during the nude scenes. As this was the only explicit Filipino drama I've seen, I can't suggest something 'better' to watch.
I haven't watched it yet but someone just recommended it to me.Re: #3 - Maybe because of his curse, he wasn't…
Maybe he has bad breath. A friend of mine is so paranoid about his breath, that he will behave so awkward when talking with people. Let alone move in for a smooth. Thanks for the response though, you remarkably remind me of the person who recommended this drama too.
8.5 The reasons below1. The development and plot at the beginning was doing fine, we got the main characters following…

Re: #3 - Maybe because of his curse, he wasn't allowed to kiss 💋 someone? Did the show have you on your toes 🐾 hoping for a kiss? Some sort of hidden irony by the story 📒 makers?
I managed to download the RAW's over the weekend. I will create AI generated subs for this and privately share it. PM me if you would like the google drive for the vids.
This was also one of the first dark kdrama's where I haven't seen them blur out the knives when stabbing or killing people. If you enjoy suspense, serial killer, psychological thrillers. This should be on your bucket list to watch. I would caution those with certain violent emotional triggers (suicide, murder, bullying, animal cruelty).
The TVING network has been doing such a great job lately (IMO) with their shows. Since they are competing with Netflix, I only suspect to see more top quality gems like this in the future.
This drama is messy like it's everywhere and boring It feels like they tried to make many tropes "ideas" in one…
So it's like how people mush their food all around a plate because they don't want to eat it and then tell everyone how "stuffed" they are because it appears they ate a lot.
