Nope, sorry for me Goblin edges it all the way but ESPECIALLY on the OST. Sure Bride is good, but Goblin is HAUNTING.....the music hangs around long after each episode and the drama itself is finished. Round and Round was favourite of all, but Chanyeol and Push singing Stay with Me was brilliant too. So Goblin is the outright winner for me ALL round.....I mean Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook - their bromance was worth first place alone! ❤️
Grey Rainbow.....only watch when you want to die - because you WILL have your heart ripped out. More are, for me at least, Flowers for Algernon; Stairway to Heaven (2003) Grave of Fireflies (anime and live action); Spirit's Homecoming (VERY hard to watch and I sobbed so much), Mountain Cry, Uncontrollably Fond, Return of the Cuckoo (if you don't cry at the end, you're heartless); The Stolen Years, Drama Special 2013: My Friend is Still Alive and Hana-chan no Misoshiru and Itoshi Kimi e (just because I have eyesight issues and I know how I'd feel in his shoes). There's a ton more - but these are the ones that have me sobbing like a stupid baby......and reaching for my bodyweight in icecream.
Madame Antoine - I wanted to kill the male lead; slowly and with great pain. There's a drama I actually liked but, really it is train wreck material just for the plot which is like a smashup of 'I love my president even though he's a psycho' and 'My Secret Romance' (and it starred Sung Hoon as the male lead) - and that's 'Noble, My Love'. It was cute, it was funny but it WAS a train wreck and I should know as I've watched it so often! Definite Stockholm Syndrome! lol!
Apparently being made, with the same name, in Hollywood starring Emelia Clarke (made famous by GoT). This was a simply stunning piece of cinematography and one I truly hope Hollywood does not slaughter as it did the haunting ‘Possession’. Possession went from a haunting love story in South Korea to a slasher flic in Hollywood.
I have to say if you watch it until the alternate ending (included on the dvd) fits in and then watch that, it follows the original story and is okay; however, watch the theatrical ‘slasher’ release and it’s beyond dire.
Hollywood usually ends up completely trashing ALL the East Asian dramas it takes on, let’s not forget the truly terrible Hollywood adaptation of the South Korean serial drama ‘Boys Over Flowers’; America called their one ‘Boys Before Friends’ - I only watched one episode and that was enough, if only brain scrubs were real..... Personally I wish Hollywood would just admit defeat and leave East Asian cinema and tv serials alone. Just screen them AS THEY ARE with subs - we Asian drama fans would thank them!
Okay... this synopsis is telling me the whole movie. What's up with that?
Apparently there is a big plot twist that isn't included in the synopsis. I haven't seen the movie so I can't say what it is or if there is one; but more than one reviewer has said so, so it's probably true.
No.10's my pet hate - the 'I've had a terrible life but remained upbeat and happy and also hardworking despite relatives that hate me and use me, bosses who treat me like dirt and steal all the glory...then, just as I find my soulmate and true happiness, I'm told I'm dyingand only have a short time to live' - the final loathsome cliche trick that's often also used is the 'but I'll survive to make you think it has a happy ending only for my SOULMATE to die at the end! HA!' THAT one drives me absolutely NUTS.
Scarlet Heart Ryeo's by far. Totally unnecessary & the writers ruined the couple & story completely.
There's hopefully going to be a season to of SH:R so hopefully that ending will redeem itself. I suppose they did kind of have to follow history as well which constrains things.
The year will be 2040 and I still won't be over the Reply 1988 ending.
I'll be dead and iceskating in hell before I even THINK of getting over the ending of Cheese in the Trap. But then again the WORST ending of ALL time has to be Potato Star.......
Great they were happy together, but if they feel they are not any longer and wish to move on then fair enough. They are REAL PEOPLE, and are NOT just the characters in a drama. They have every right to be with who they want to. Whatever their paths in the future I really hope they BOTH continue to delight us in their new roles and they can find happiness and love with someone special in the future.
I know that Asian celebrities are much more respectful of their fans than western ones (I'm looking at you Bieber), but they still are people who have lives of their own. That MUST be respected.
This was my FIRST solo anime, after my daughter got me into them. I ADORED this so much! Been trying to buy a subbed DVD ever since. Just wish they'd made more because the manga was perfect right to the end.
So 'Secret Seven' is the Thai version of 'Seven First Kisses' and 'Bangkok Love Stories: My Weakness' is the Thai version of 'A Girl and Three Sweethearts'. After sitting through the Korean version of 'A Love to Kill' with the ever wonderful Bi Rain, I don't think I can go through it again. Especially if it ends the same way - a lot of us believed they both died, but other viewers felt they might've survived.....
However, I love Thai dramas, especially their BL stories as they usually have happy endings (let us never speak of 'Grey Rainbow'). So seeing at least one definite BL story and perhaps another two as well (or at least bromance with the latter two) then I'm very happy.
