Thanks! I'll consider a watch :)

How is this so far? The synopsis isn't telling me anything and I'm not one for sports shows. Wasn't on my watchlist but I prefer watching dramas on air so if it turns out to be good I'll get #fomo lol... should I give this a try?

Love Game in Eastern Fantasy
(also Moonlight and Archives since he did a great job there)

what was i thinking making this list when ik damn well im never faithful to my watchlist?? and 20 shows at that lil bro...🥶🥶🥶

This is the first time I read the source material before the drama adaption, and I definitely recommend the novel to everyone who loves reading books and at least found this drama okay! It's far more compelling and the character's stories hit deeper as their personalities originally were different there.
I just finished the show and found it's romance and the OST to be its strongest points. The leads' chemistry was strong and they were super cute together but the way the conflicts were handled, everything felt too sudden and story-wise it was definitely rushed. The teenage arc was definitely better than the adult arc: I was close to giving up during episodes 20-25, but the ending was much better! I'm glad that some of my favorite little details and dialogues were adapted despite the major changes and the short length. Also, Zhou Wan's proposal was so heartwarming!!
8/10: Realistically a 7.5 but +0.5 for the leads imo. An okay show with the good overweighing the bad :)

Also found that Bao Shangen did a lot lot better here acting-wise since I only watched Youthful Glory before and I found her facial expressions to be off in that one

6 is "liu" in chinese and his last name is Lu. they sound similar and since Zhou Wan was embarassed/shy to have him in her contacts because other ppl might see, she saved him as 6

same!! TUS and Love of the Divine Tree too a little bit

Waited for 2 years but by the 1st episode, it seems it's not my cup of tea... probably would've enjoyed it back then ;-; loved the intro animation tho
I'll wait to read the reviews until it's fully released. Might pick it up again if it has a good rating
To the rest of y'all, enjoy watching! ⸜( ˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝

Thank you! 🫶

Thank you very much!! \(^o^)/

I see, I'll definitely watch Midnight Diner first as it sounds like my cup of tea. As for Oshin, that's pretty plausible. Whenever I do end up watching, it'll probably be for the long run since I always need time to recover from long series' episodes! 🧡

first of all WOW WHAT A CAST!!?
second, to those who have watched it: is this better or worse than princess silver? bcs the synopsis reminds me a lot of that one

I had added Oshin and Midnight Diner to my watchlist a few weeks ago since I really liked reading your posts and reviews. Just now I remembered I want to watch more Japanese dramas in the future and I'm glad I found this list on your profile! Saved some to my ptw 🥰

yes it's chapter 37 but they came back right after. the drama adapted it with changes to fit in the 29 eps :)

I think around chapter 36-38 since their feelings become very clear and love finally blossoms in their youth 🌸
but I also liked the beginning, seeing how their relationship develops

my bad, I keep confusing short dramas with minis or micros, ty!

wow, thank you so much for the thorough reply! will check out the sources. this definitely raised my expectations, I'll give it a watch soon 😊

haven't watched lbtg yet but I might try this one, thanks! :D

99% sure je ei drama release hobe na C-entertainment er censorship rules er jonno 😔

how is this so far? my problem with mini dramas is that either the plot is incomprehensible or there's too much messy drama... but this one looks pretty. should I give it a try?
