There's so many dramas that don't entertain me at all so if I was entertained for like 80 to 90% of the drama run time then I'm usually cool with it. There's a few exceptions like Behind Your Touch and Because This is My First Life which both really pissed me off in the end

Since I know the general outline of what's going to happen, I'm just curious about how they get there and whether it makes sense or if the ending fell out of the sky like an anvil like on the hearts of the audience. Also I'm not someone who necessarily hates dramas because of bad endings

Though honestly I don't really blame the actors, they're just trying to get jobs, it's the public's demands for perfection that's really driving this and that sucks. Nobody wants a freeze frame of their face in a drama becoming a meme. #kdrama

A trend I noticed is instead of completely botoxing their foreheads, they are allowing the muscles between the brows to move so they can be more expressive. It still looks weird but it's a little better. Maybe we'll have like a retro trend and actors will allow their faces to move again+ #kdrama

It's a Kim Eun Sook drama so I doubt it very much 🥲

The characters change and grow in meaningful ways, especially the princess cosplaying as a prince. Plus like A Dream Within a Dream, the show makes a clear statement about the responsibilities leaders have to care for and protect common people. Also, Liu Yuning has serious aura in this 🤩

I'm halfway through Journey to Love and this is a damned good drama. I know a lot of people hate the ending and I'm prepared for it 🫣 but so far the writing is excellent. The FL is strong, intelligent and ethical, her relationship with the ML is built on shared values and mutual respect 1/2 #cdrama

It's kind of an open ending though, her voice over says that if they part the memory of love will help him continue to move forward.

I interpreted it as it's a very expensive private school and the parents are unreasonably demanding of the teachers. Also because it's a Catholic school the teachers have to be be moral police

#SoapAndSweat was actually really cute, thanx for the recommendation @daebakpodcast.bsky.social. They need to start making more dramas with kinks, love and leashes was the only one I can remember watching before this one.

You got me searching and I found an article with the celebrities voted the handsomest in Japan. Uh, most of them don't do much for me 😅 but Meguro Ren, Sakaguchi Kentaro, Akaso Eiji are all pretty handsome ranking.net/rankings/mos...

The ML in Cinderella Closet is gorgeous but he's dressed as a woman for 3/4 of the drama 😅 www.tiktok.com/@badbarzz/vi...

Japan has a completely different aesthetic for their men, you can't compare it to Korea at all. That doesn't mean they can't be sexy, Satoh Takeru for example most definitely is, but it's a different vibe. Having said that, Machida Keita in Cherry Magic and Glass Heart is mighty pretty

Y'all, when you see the Korean contestant in the Mr. Global Universe pageant wearing a hanbok and gat, it's not inspired by Kpop Demon Hunters, it's inspired by 500 years of Joseon history #kdrama

Another one which is a BL is called My Beautiful Man but I legitimately love that one, it's messed up in the best way

I can recommend a seriously horny Japanese drama but it is deranged 😰 it's called Sweat and Soap and it's on Viki tho you'll probably want to punch me if you actually watch this 😭😭
