Wow timely article MDL!Netflix Unveils Huge Expansion of Japanese Content, Greater Emphasis on Feature Filmshttps://variety.com/2021/global/asia/netflix-expansion-of-japanese-content-1235107911/This…
Wow... thank you for the article link! That's indeed a good news
Hello!Thanks a lot for this article, it was an interesting read, especially for the historical part. I've seen…
Thank you, Sumi, for stopping by! I don't mind long posts, as they indicate the enthusiasm of the commenters ;D. It has been discussed in the comments below about the possibility of a glitch on Kieta Hatsukoi, as the top ranked list only includes completed shows, not currently airing ones. Although I'm not surprised if after it's finishing date on December 11, it will still be on the top 10 rank unless the rating goes down.
I actually was looking for historical doramas, as I rarely find them. As I guess, probably because of the costly production. A commenter recommended me In This Corner of the World (only 9 episodes), which I think I will try after watching dramas I want to make CW articles on ;D.
Same as you, I am also eyeing Mare, honestly only because of Tsuchiya Tao and Yamazaki Kento are in it. Not sure it will be materialized or not. If yes it will be the first asadora I will ever watched, lol.
I was honestly surprised by most popular drama list. i mean i knew these were like legendary titles that were…
I know right! I also didn't expect that HYD would be that popular, even both dramas are up there. I was surprised with Itazura na Kiss cos I think the story is so old school type of romance, lol.
definitely love the fact that jdramas have fewer episodes and therefore don't tend to drag as much. i've always…
"preachy"? Hm... don't really notice that, are they probably in slice-of-life genre dramas? And here I thought Chinese dramas are already preachy with their propaganda...
Yeah the list was made about a week before today, on the date I submitted the article, and actually for span time…
I don't think BL is the problem cos 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii is on the top popular list. Besides, there are BL dramas on the top 10 in other countries too. I think the problem might be in the episode numbers or airing date system that messes up the ranking.
Thanks for compiling and writing this article! Just a note though that Sanada Taiheiki is not a Taiga Drama, but…
Oh no!!! I'm sorry about that! Yeah I saw the tag there (cos I put the 'taiga' in the tag/theme search filter). I should've double checked it with Wikipedia or Taiga Forum on MDL. Oh well... that's the difference between you (a real dorama lover) and me (a newbie)...
Yeah the list was made about a week before today, on the date I submitted the article, and actually for span time…
Yeah, I go there too to check if I miss a show cos I usually put 2021 dramas first as the priority PTW. But I don't see it either. Was the airing date changed recently? You know usually if MDLers are not sure of the exact number of episodes either was put as 1 episode or number of episodes can change later. That's probably messes up the MDL system, or you can just create a ticket in the Forum's support asking about it?
Yeah the list was made about a week before today, on the date I submitted the article, and actually for span time…
Hmmm, interesting... Yeah when I first made the list it was not there... then when I rechecked the list again it was there. Now I just checked it's not there. MDL system is quite confusing for me honestly, especially how they rank dramas/movies ;D
Thank you so much for mentioning about asadoras. 'In this corner of the world' is one of my favorite asian dramas…
You're right... I accidentally watch the first episode (and a bit in the end, lol) and I was like... "Wow, this is different than usual historical dramas!", and I watched historical C, K, and Th dramas. It must be quite an expensive production cost for the setting, costume, and extras! Unfortunately I still have to watch a drama to write a CW article, or I will continue watching till the end, haha
Japan is no 1 when it comes to, SAD, SICK, DEATH and DARK subject related stories and will remain no 1 and that…
Yeah the list was made about a week before today, on the date I submitted the article, and actually for span time between submitting and publishing an article, 1 week is a short time for an editorial as you also know it ;D. When I first made the list Kieta Hatsukoi is not even in the list as it was not finished airing yet ;D
Thank you for giving J-Drama some love! I actually started my "foreign" (for me) drama watching with J-dramas.…
I tried Itazura na Kiss, too, and I don't like it. I think that because I watched it in 2019 and way back then in 2013 the audience preference is different than in 2019 that's why it became popular?
