I've never really paid attention to the tags before, but I might start now to avoid some of the topics you mentioned like sexual assault. Another big one for me is student/teacher relationships, which I absolutely hate and find hard to tolerate in most shows.
I'm not really familiar with any of these K-dramas, but maybe I'll check them out to compare them to the Bollywood movies I've seen. I'm definitely watching Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon btw!
Nice article! I'm a Thai drama newbie right now (currently watching Hormones and The Shipper). I'm looking forward to discovering many new Thai dramas in the future :)
I've been wanting to watch some J dramas lately. I think I'll check out Rich Man, Poor Woman! I've only finished Crash Landing on You so far, but I've mostly been rewatching The X-Files since it requires less attention
Aww I loved The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. I didn't know they got married!! This makes me so happy. I didn't hear any rumors about Oguri Shun cheating. But I don't really care about those kinds of things since it's none of my business.
Sometimes a badly dressed female lead can make her more endearing, or it can make you hate her more. The female lead from Reply 1994 really sticks out to me as always badly dressed (ugh and that hair).
Ah, this train wreck is so nostalgic. I remember following it closely on DramaFever's articles, way before I started using mdl. I couldn't get past two episodes the quality was so bad. Great article btw
I didn't really like the cliffhanger at the end, though I suppose they're setting for another season :/ What I liked about k-dramas is that they all end in one season! Anyway, I still really liked this drama and I'm looking forward to the next season.
I understand your feelings. I really haven't watched that many k-dramas in the last few years, maybe one a year? And I don't really think I've ever really fallen in love with k-dramas. But I get your point. Things change, maybe for the better and sometimes for the worst. It doesn't give you those same happy comforting feelings anymore. :/
Thank you to all the writers on this site! I love reading the articles. I don't often update my drama list, but I always have time to check for new articles.
Omg same!! I didn't see it coming at all
Great article btw
