In Dramaland: 2023

A chronological list of all dramas and movies that I've started in 2023 along with links of my feedposts, tumblr posts and comments. (Or others' insights and information.) Not often active on drama pages, but I leave reviews describing everything that I felt. 

*This year is unexpectedly the "Year of the Artists and Villages". Every drama apart from a few, either has an artist or a village.

Supplementary: 52 Week Drama Challenge. [Contains a chronological order of the dramas/movies that I have *completed* in 2023.]

  • The Spring of My Life

    11. The Spring of My Life

    Chinese Movie - 2015

    6.0

    After watching the convoluted mess that the latter half of Till The End of The Moon is, I decided that I needed a break and watched one of Leo Yunxi's older works.

  • Secrets in the Hot Spring

    12. Secrets in the Hot Spring

    Taiwanese Movie - 2018

    Who wouldn't want a bit of comedy after "Till The End of The Moon"? One of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

  • Painted Skin: The Guo Jingming Edition

    14. Painted Skin: The Guo Jingming Edition

    Chinese Movie - 2020

    I have to say, this short film had more memorable ending than Wuliang (also by the same Director). This is how you plan and plot the finale.

    Well... The good thing about this series is that I almost predicted everything that was going to happen, thanks to my complete distrust of every single character on screen.

    Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    Unexpected, but the first four episodes were good. [Edit: First six episodes were good.] Thanks to this one, I will probably view every other 8 episode and 15 minute/chapter drama cynically. Wasted potential and talent.

    Same as that of the drama, except for some angle changes and and minute extensions (one additional scene included and another was altered). So... same review as that of the series.

    37. Jun & Jun

    Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    July - Final Drama.

    DROPPED. 

    Honestly, it looked like so much backstory of the leading characters were skipped to immediately plop the viewers (or me) directly into the 'canon'. I couldn't enjoy it as there seemed to be no build up/the build up happened a long time before or behind the screens.
