Thank you for the article! From the list above, "Unnatural" and "Kazoku Game" are my recommendations. I am planning to watch Tenno no Ryoriban too, just haven't found the time to do that
I watched him in that drama too. Not really got me, probably because it's too short? I tried to watch him in other…
Yeah sadly Taiwan Express has to be shortened due to the pandemic. If the other two you are talking about are "Just You" and "Fall in Love With Me", then I could understand (both are cute at first but in the latter parts they just drives me crazy).
I've never seen the Korean version, so here's my mom's comment (lol):
The Japanese version is slightly lacking in acting. Kenty is not as convincing as Park Seojun while Sato Ai is more careless than the Korean equivalent. However, the Japanese version is more straightforward in the storyline - not much dragging in it.
I switched from the Korean ship to the Japanese ship, I think the last K-Drama I watched was 18 Again (which I forced myself to finish it)... Won't deny that Korean dramas are produced with better quality, a factor which makes people keep thinking J-drama is inferior. But there is more to discover than that... There are good story lines, (most of the time) no fillers, and there are actually good actors/actress among them.
Lately some of my ultra die-hard K Drama loving friends said that recent K-dramas are getting boring. They found Kotaro Lives Alone on Netflix and loved it so much, asking me whether there are also other J-Dramas like this (I haven't even watched Kotaro Lives Alone lol). They might be burned out, but maybe there are also a change in style and/or story delivery which kind of similar to what this article is trying to describe. However, I disagree that the Koreans are westernizing their dramas - it's definitely not the right word but I am also unable to find a right way to describe it.
Episode 1 is slightly uninteresting, but I got attached to the story after that (even I cried in the later episodes). Acting was not in the top ranks but hey you got A LOT of lessons delivered in a nice way from this drama.
I agree with you. I have never seen Jdrama becomes draggy unlike K, C, and Thai dramas. I often skip/speed up…
Agreed on this. I rarely skip J Dramas because a 15 second skip means you missed something lol. After 1.5 years moving from KDrama to JDrama, I found it difficult to watch anything more than 10 episodes!
Can't blame if there are some Indonesians getting angry to the scenes of Ep. 5. Despite Indonesian supporters are notorious for booing and swarming someone's social media, the scene portrayed are overly exaggerated if we do some fact-check.
The issue with tournament organization and hotel were not true at all if they're taking place in current time. Booing after winning is also unheard of, the 'worst' booing I could remember is when Korean men's doubles played in 2013 in Indonesia they were booed almost every time (not all the time) they got points. But getting angry with a fictional score is somewhat ridiculous for me.
That being said...
If you want SBS to apologize - they had done it, if you felt it was insincere or not enough that's your problem. If you felt you still have to vandalize and spam bad ratings as an Internet justice - let me tell you: you're just making Indonesia looks even worse

A small correction though, Yarougumi S2 will be broadcasted in Nippon TV not TV Tokyo
