How is this drama sooo good? It's super fun to watch. Their ridiculous manners and songs really make the show. Singing an emotional ode to snacks, love it.
This was so wholesome to watch. I feel like it would add a lot more emotional context for non-Japanese speakers to have the subs indicate when Hakata-dialect is used though.
When the main lead expresses an emotion with their native dialect it shows their acceptance of their culture and their love. That's what this special was all about so missing out on that for non-Japanese speaking audiences is kinda a shame.
I’m 8 episodes in and feel like I’m still part of the minority that’s actually enjoying this drama. However…
As someone that has watched a lot of cheaply produced web-series the product placement is just normal to me now. I had hoped they would include it in more funny ways but I guess China and Thailand are better at that than Korea. You haven't seen the worst until you get a 5 minute long toothpaste commercial in the middle of an episode. Or a drama specifically made for an ice-cream (thanks Cornetto). Most dramas do it at the end in a special clip though.
I just noticed how cute the headtilts of captain Jo Young are. Any time he's mildly curious he'll do a slight headtilt and it fits so well since it shakes up his serious character with a little bit of cuteness.
BL Lakorns can go much further with product-placement. However, they often make it into fanservice moments so…
No problem! Glad to hear you're interested in BL-dramas! Yeah Korea usually doesn't allow BL-shows which is why the kdrama and BL communities are relatively seperate from each other. Currently a K-BL drama is almost airing called ''Where Your Eyes Linger'' so that could be a major breakthrough.
I would suggest starting off lightly with a BL-drama like SOTUS or 2gether (both on Youtube) as those are pretty mainstream. These shows are very light in their romance and don't have too much fanservice. If you don't mind the fanservice at all, go to Why R U.
Besides that I would recommend checking out the Chinese drama ''The Untamed'' if you want a current look at BL-developments in China. It's not quite BL but it has basically been adopted into the BL-community since the novel is very much BL. Again, if you don't mind fanservice you can watch the c-drama ''Addicted:Heroin'' for a bit more romance.

Oh no it's fully my mistake. I always assume most MDL-users know about BL lakorns but some people do tend to keep within the kdrama fandom.
So, basically, ''lakorns'' is what dramas from Thailand are called. I'd recommend trying out lakorns sometime, it can be refreshing to learn about a new culture.
You've probably heard of bromance (guys being friendly) but there's another genre. ''BL'' stands for boys love which is basically reffering to shows focussed on romance between two young guys. So like kdrama romance but only with guys.
BL is found in many Asian countries but Thailand is currently the biggest producer with hit-series like SOTUS (2016) and 2gether (2020). BL also has a large community on MDL and many sub-cultures regarding the type of shows. Other terms for BL include danmei (Chinese BL with gorgeous men), shounen-ai (Japanese BL with romance) and yaoi (Japanese BL that includes intimate scenes).
Make a new drama with just captain Jo Young, emperor Yi Gon, detective Gang Shin Jae and comedic Jo Eun Sub trying to work together. These guys are honestly the highlights of this drama.
I was wondering how this could've come from Korea, then I saw the strongberry comment and everything made sense. One of the only sources of BL in Korea.
EUNSEOP AND JOYOUNG MEETING WAS THE BEST PART OF THE EPISODE I NEED MORE SCENES OF THEM TOGETHER
If they don't do the following type of scene then I'm gonna be disappointed: Jo Young going to the police station disguised as Eun Sub and confusing all the co-workers.
