What are Cdramas that are post Republican but not modern?
there are not as many, a lot of them tend to be movies. All set during the revolution era (pre-modern). On top of my head, there is Battle of Changsha (although it is late republican era), Minning Town, Back in Time, I Don't Want To Be Friends With You, The Bond, Dear Mayang Street, Like a Flowing River, The Year 1987, Like a Flowing River II, and Roving Inspection Team
seen most of the dramas listed - C-dramas have their own charm. I am actually fascinated by Republican era dramas, probably because that is a history I have actually studied quite a bit. I do wish there were more dramas on post republican era as well
this is actually a serious issue across most Asian dramas - the constant lack of consent and the forceful behaviour (the arm grabbing, pushing her, manipulative behavior, etc) is very problematic. thank you for compiling all this. I was actually doing research on gender violence portrayal in Asian dramas during undergrad
why can't Kwon Yool get a decent character for once? but Kim Minjae is killing it as the street-smart albeit a bit dumb ML and Park Gyu Young is so lovable. she's really impressive in all her latest roles
I found it so hard to even have little sympathy for Kim Seol-Ah. She chose her path, don't know why she cried over it. She chose money over everything. it was so irritating to watch her. but I can't believe they still have characters like the chairwoman/MIL. she was beyond mad
the superficialness of it all is so frustrating. girl has a little acne and everyone treats her like dirt and bullying to the point of suicidal thoughts. what sort of shitty message is that? thank god the actors weer likable and fun, otherwise it would just be frustrating
