*amongst (damn my typos!)

Zero! I got ZERO! Even smongst the dramas I've watched! You'd think I could've flat out guessed "The Last Empress", but Nope. None. *deep sigh*

Does anyone know of a link to a translation of the novel? Kai Duan by Qi Dao Jun

Thanks for the recs!

I don't think you'll see him as a 10 YO if you watch "You Are My Hero"! 😍

Eurckk Canon in D, now gives me goosebumps. And NOT in a good way

I don't think there's a live adaptation. I can't imagine it would be well received as the anime is so beloved.

I know it technically doesn't qualify because it's anime, but my favourite, hands-down all-time, best body swap movie/show EVER is "Your Name"(Makoto Shinkai).
I've tried to watch Secret Garden a few times but can't get through the 1st ep 🤷‍♀️. I think it's just too dated for me. And there are too many new shows to watch...especially now I've added all the rest of these to my PTW list. Yeah thanks for that!

And you can see him with long hair in "The Swordsman"

I think he still plays the entitled, arrogant, spoiled brat in "Class of Lies" (the extreme version) - I think that's the role he is often cast in, be it idol drama or otherwise.

I think I would watch Lee Jun Young watch paint dry. But in this, when he gets to show his musical talents too! 🤩🤩🤩
I just wish we could see him in more diverse roles. "Please don't date him" is the only exception IMO

Thanks for this. You've saved me a few hours 😁

Now watching ep4, I realise I've kinda stated the obvious - everything about their gaze is explicit in the dialogue. But I stand by what I've written. I don't think there are many actors who can convey so much with their eyes, the way these two can. Who else could have played these parts?

I think there is NEVER enough said about how good Kim Kyung Nam is. Like Tony Leung , he moves you with his eyes. We don't need to see big gestures or obvious facial expressions, because his gaze is everything. I think too Ahn Eun Jin, has the same ability. This show is so compelling because of the two of them. It's just, a 'must see' (pun intended)

Oh the yearning 💖

"Splash Splash Love," is a nice antidote to the whole "Treachery" trope. It's not an actual Saeguk, but is a Joseon story, with some breezy history lessons. And it's a mild intro to the "time travel" trope, SO popular in K-Dramaland.

I may be jumping to an extreme conclusion based upon 1 teaser, but is this an homage to/ based upon "Fight Club"? (Brad Pitt, Edward Norton) I love a good bromance or sismance, but I can't stomach excessive violence, so just need a warning.

So Ji Sub wasn't on a break. He has been making movies.

Britain and its Commonwealth countries made female inheritance difficult as well - so yep, it's pretty wide spread throughout The West until laws have been introduced to change it. (Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is a good example)

His gaze in Jirisan 🤩🥰
