What an excellent acting by Zhang Xin Cheng, he stole the show and days after I finished, I still remember several of his scenes. I tend to be very superficial and prefer a handsome male lead, but ZXC compensates me with his great acting, and continues to get better in each drama.
6 episodes and he's still a jerk. Why does she keep loving him... I feel that I wasted my time and I don't know…
This is a live action adaptation of the manga, and follows the manga story, which by the way, has been one of the most popular Japanese manga and the one with the most live action adaptations both in film and TV (sadly the writer died in an accident and her husband and son are the ones with the copyrights): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itazura_na_Kiss
Now I have completely finished it…The plot is as thin as steam from a shower, the kisses resemble lethargic…
You made me laugh with your comment! I'm here to decide if I leave it in my list or delete it, because I started watching miniseries to pass the time and then realized that they leave me dissatisfied, not engaging enough, and I rather use that time to watch a longer one from my huge list even if I have to put them on hold if I don't have time to binge.
does anyone have any links to watch this drama? no links i used before are working anymore );
I only found it here, not good video quality but it's watchable if you don't click "full screen" and instead, increase the zoom of your laptop screen to 120% or 125%. Also, under the video there's an option to "switch off light", which helps. This is the link: https://asianc.sh/drama-detail/last-scandal
My suggestions is to start first with the 'famous oldies' in your list, those that most people have already seen and rewatched: Goblin (one of my faves), Eulachacha Waikiki , W: Two Worlds and Dr. Romantic (the last one is more medical than romance). For action, I'd say watch both A Shop for Killers and Bloodhounds I haven't watched Mouse but plan to. Tomorrow was a good watch (it's not thriller but drama with some comedic parts) but you can watch it afterwards. There are some over-hyped dramas in your list that may disappoint you, so don't watch with high expectations: Marry My Husband (overacting by most of the cast), Queen of Tears (very average story) and Alchemy of Souls which in my opinion there are better fantasy-historical K-dramas; or watch first similar famous C-dramas like Love Between Fairy and Devil, Love Like the Galaxy, Who Rules the World. I see that you didn't include C-dramas in your list, but I'd suggest that you give them a try. Many MyDramaList members came here for K-dramas and now many of us are watching more C-dramas than K-dramas LOL I think that's because they have more releases (1 billion people, right LOL), with many genres, with various lengths, fast paced, and many with very original plots (I'm rewatching Reset from 2022 right now by the way :)) I hope my suggestions can help you a little. Happy watching!
It has a very high rating in Douban (8.5) with more than 110,800 votes!
wow, and one year after! I'm sad I won't watch it. I avoid C-dramas with time travel. I hate that after so many episodes they always end with someone finishing the book, and whatever happened was fiction within fiction. I know it's due to censorship, but still I hate those "book" stories (and the reason I won't watch Joy of Life either)
