Underrating is a curse of j-dramas on MDL….I normally don’t rate until finished, but this is so exceptional…
One person is not a statistic. I'm not talking about individuals, but about the overall picture. Therefore, if you have no prejudices, that's great.
But prejudice does exist. Underestimation of grades is also a fact. It's a common situation when a series/movie hasn't even been released yet, but they've already received negative ratings. This website operates differently, but other websites are more prone to such manipulations. Pay attention to this and you'll see for yourself.
Prejudices exist. And there are several reasons for this, but the main one is the double standards. And the eternal confrontation between Korea/China and Japan, which has infected their fans as well. I've been in this "business" for over 20 years. In the past, when I was heavily involved in the Korean fandom, it was normal to be arrogant towards Japanese dramas. Consequently, due to my deep involvement in the Korean fandom, I didn't have the opportunity to view the situation objectively. Why is this happening?
Japan has made a huge contribution to the development of global cinema. They have many famous films, directors, and actors. So why is it that people started saying that Japan has bad actors who constantly overact, that they don't have good directors or producers, and that they don't know how to make movies, series, or live-action? Over the years, this has been repeated so often within the community that it has spread beyond its borders. This lie, started by one person, has been picked up and repeated like a parrot's chatter. You can't even see the ends anymore.
So what are the double standards? For example, it is commonly believed that Japanese actors overact. However, this is actually true for certain genres where it is necessary to overact. It does not apply to the entire film industry. However, the speaker will not check themselves. The truth is that Korean and Chinese actors also overact. However, Korean fans argue that they do not overact and that it is a sign of their cultural background. Chinese fans accept Chinese fantasy very well, where it's normal to overplay. I'm not talking about their 15-minute series, where things are really bad. But they only criticize the Japanese. Because it's common to criticize Japan.
It's normal for a certain genre to be grotesque and over-the-top. All countries do this, and Asia especially (it's all about their theater). It's not normal to criticize one country for this but ignore others.

They are not underestimated. Japanese series are often viewed with prejudice. It was like a virus that was launched many years ago. It's a long, boring, and annoying story.
Yes. Because they're adaptation a novel. I don't remember exactly. But there are 4 books in the novel.
The Japanese know better how to film their own history. Therefore, this is not the Shogun. In addition, the series will depict a different era. The Meiji era is one of the most interesting periods in Japanese history. It is full of events, interesting people, and a turning point in the fate of the samurai.
