Did you hear about the misintepretation contravery? :)It's not difficult to test it on your own if you don't believe…
I couldn't resist it- watched the first 2 eps of "Ikinari kon" !π Thanks for the recommendation - it's so kawaiii!
The viewer was too harsh on the ML. He's abit pushy but he certainly isn't misogynistic. Rather the opposit if anything seeing how supportive he is with Mao. The Ex on the other hand can choke on his pudding. I would have thanked Azuma for stealing him away if it wasn't for the fact that she now has her claws aimed at Ando π. I do love how Mao fights for herself despite everything- she isn't afraid to say no (just hope she can do this more with the ex and the viper SFL too soon).β€οΈ
Ngl i half expected the ML to be like the type from Coffee & Vanilla (controlling in the guise of being protective) but Ando seems pretty chill so far. Idk why but he reminds me of Jinshi for some reason...is it just me? It doesn't help that the FL's name is Mao too π
PS: their height difference!!! Sooo cute but i low key feel bad for the camera crew trying to find ways to fit them in the same screen π
Was it just me or did Fujisawa seem very sadistic when he squeezed Nakarai's injured toe. Usually if you want…
Totally agree with you on your take of Fujisawa. He feels too manipulative and the fact that Nakarai seems to have cut ties with his "good" college mates speaks volumes. The fact that Fujisawa is considered as Nakarai's spokesman by his former friends sound interesting too.
Could Fujisawa secretly like Nakarai back (perhaps in a narcissistic/ arrogant fashion) but because he is in denial and doesn't want to tarnish his brand by being tagged as gay, he stoops to control Nakarai instead? π
Not to mention they were married for 3 years and the guy doesn't even know the basic about her and we should believe…
All your points were answered in ep 6-8 . And i don't think most vuewers condone Sa Eon's behaviour. There was empathy once they shared SE's own traumatic POV but neither the audience , HJ, nor SE himself ever excused his behaviour.
It was all about proving that he learned from his mistakes and how he eventually overcame his trauma with HJ's help.

I've watched "your eyes tell" and "Hoshi Furu Yoru Ni" before ππππ And yessss! Absolutely loved them. Hoshi Furu in particular felt so dreamy for some reasonβ€οΈ Haha yes! The first scene took me by surprise π€£
With "Your eyes tell", i found out about it while following the ML (Yokohama san had this makjang-esque melo on Netflix at the time - something to do with a traditional confectionary store and a murder mystery from his past- can't recall the name now but he was really π₯ in it π).
Is "Always" good? Wasn't aware of it.
"House MD" and "Trauma "Code" are very similar. The only difference is that JJH isn't an addict/ flirtπ€£. Extra bonus, Sunjae's appa is one of the antoganists so it's fun.
It's so true what you meant about how your mood might affect your viewing habits. I have many dramas on my watch list that have been kept on hold for months now. I really liked most of them and only have may be 1-3 episodes left? But the motivation is gone π« π« π« Hopefully, I'll complete them soon π€
I actually wanted to watch "My life Again" since i loved the ML in Flowers of Evil but didn't get a chance (ok i forgot about it π ). Probably should give it a chance too soon. Thanks for the reminder!!!
One Spring Night- i really loved Hae In it - i noticed you liked "Something in the rain" so you'll probably like this (the ending is way more satisfying in ONS). It's got the same "mature" vibe instead of the usual sugar coated romcom kdrama vibe? If it makes sense?π
Think the main problem with sensitive viewers is that they forget that different countries have their own "recipe"? So they simply get offended when certain drama thropes contradict with what they are used to π I've noticed this issue comes up a lot with Jdramas specially. I mean i don't mind them at all but some act like it's the end of the world π π π
Speaking of contraversial Jdramas, totally recommend "Monster". It's a J-movie that follows the same scenario via different POVs and how they impact eachother. It's very thought provoking right down to the end since the audience is given the option to interpret the ending the way they want.

"Trillion Game" seems to be cursed since even i'm too lazy to continue. It was fun too so I have no idea what's stopping me π π π
"Spy X Family" - the order is S1, S2, and then the movie. Or else it might not make sense at times π
(But you can watch it as a stand alone movie too since they briefly explain what's going on but you can enjoy it more if you watch the episodes first).....i might be biased ππ
"Trauma Code" is awesome! I loooved JJH in it - if you are familiar with House MD (american series), you'll probably like this too π€£
"Love Scout" is good as well. If you liked "One Spring Night", you will enjoy this π
"Igarashi"- haha Ikr?! I can't believe how delusional the SFL isπ€¦ββοΈ The MC is sweet though β€οΈ
I haven't watched "Ikinari kon" but seeing as how we seem to have similar taste, I'll give it a try soon and will let you know my take. Looking at the summary, I can see why some SERIOUS viewers might think it's misogynistic but ehhh that's part of the charm of jdramas- nothing to take serious over (as long as they don't cross the line). I'll share my final verdict later this week probably.π€
TBF from the very beginning the FL's motive was made clear- she wasn't trying to blackmail him to destroy him…
The thing is Sa Eon from the beginning pinned 406 as an insane person because even in the first call he can sense how unstable the kidnapper sounds. So the kidnapper talking nonsense/ like a woman wasn't really a surprise probably to SE at first.
Besides his main objective was to drag the calls as long as possible to find the kidnapper's location (at least at the beginning) so SE would have just indulged the kidnapper to keep him busy talking. It's also pointed out that SE loses his sense of rationality where Heeju is concerned. Even SE himself admitted that there were so many clues that HJ was 406 from the beginning but his mind was in denial and refused to accept it out of fear. So that's fair enough right? Since even the drama pointed out that SE should have figured it out sooner based on my last point.
As for HJ's side of her calls- she clearly isn't familiar with playing a tough guy if she had to take a crash course on it through movies right? It would be more unrealistic if she can perfectly disguise herself.
Most of the mistakes she made (saying "I" instead of "HJ" in the heat of the moment) during calls were from ep 6 onwards after SE found out the truth and started to get more vulnerable. But we can assume that SE chose to pretend to not notice these since he didn't want her to know that he knew the truth.
*** Sorry, I didn't get what you mean by SE always said things that a man would say to a woman during calls. SE seemed pretty cocky and crass during the initial calls until around ep 5 or so after which he just was too insatiable to make sure the kidnapper didn't underestimate HJ right? π

Even i forgot Trilliom Game ngl so have to continue from the point I stopped.
Would love it if they did a movie for Spy X Family but haven't heard anything so far.
If you haven't already watched, you can try "kaguya sama - Love is War" too- anime with about 3 season and an OMV if i'm not mistaken.
Dramas wise, these days I'm interested in "Love Scout" and "The Trauma Code" (JJH's new drama).
There's also this Jdrama called "Igarashi Fusai wa Giso Tanin" that's interesting (a fan account shares all the videos for free- lemme know if you are interested).
Both Love Scout and Igarashi are on going dramas.π

Haha "Silent" was what made me love Ren too! I'd previously seen him in "My Love Mixup" but didn't really realize how versatile he was until I watched "Silent" and "Trillion Game" π
Glad you liked Spy X Family π. There are about 2 seasons + 1 movie available so far.
I suspected that. Indeed they rushed episode 12 because they had to finish the filming for airing schedule. Too…
Perhaps try Wattpad? Usually the translations are uploaded there (you have to use your critical thinking at times though since the translations are abit.....π π π ).

Haha have you come across the LN or manga spoilers? It sounds like Jinshi is safe- at least for now π
My Happy Ending- me too! I loved the anime as well as the live action (Ia bit of a fan of Ren Meguro's so wasn't surprised really)! Their (anime/ drama) dynamic is just π₯Ή
Yesss- Spy X Family essentially is a combination of contract marriage and hidden identities so you'll probably like it. If you have watched Mr and Mrs Smith, you'll get the vibe (only the couple isn't very angsty towards eachother).

TMAI! Sadly i don't think MBC will bother to sue NF since everybody seems to have moved on from the incident now.
Oooh I love Apothecary Diaries! Can't get enough of MaoMao and Jinshi's antics π€£
PS: the spy anime i mentioned earlier is called "Spy X Family". It's really good too. Also there's another called "My Happy Marriage" which is pretty nice too. This actually kind of reminds me of what SaJu couple would have been like if Sa Eon was honest with his feelings from the beginning.

Sure will keep you posted - though no idea how long it will take since even LR took around 3months or so to circulate online βΊοΈπ
TMAI- the same thing happened with "Till the end of the moon"- too. They were supposed to have 60+ episodes but due to a change with one of their laws, the drama had to reduce the number of episodes to 40. The drama had so much potential but all the chopped bits completely ruined the story for most viewersπ
Some viewers and their level of expectations are rediculous ngl π

You don't have everything but usually if a story gets popular, it should ends up on Wattpad eventually.
Glad you liked Spy X Family π. There are about 2 seasons + 1 movie available so far.
But most of the time it's usable.

All the best- google translate can be so crazy sometimes πππ
On the bright side since most c-dramas are based on novels, we can attempt to fill in the blanks by finding the web novels i guess π€
