Bawling my eyes out at every episode

“Even if I am cured, will you stay with me?”

[morela2016]

TEMPORADA PRIMAVERA 2024- Doramas que me interesan.

Me interesa o por lo menos me llaman la atención suficiente para ver aunque sea un capítulo. Sin embargo de algunas de ellas no he escuchado mucho por lo que pienso que seran difíciles verlas. Además no acostumbro ver tantas series a la vez por una u otra razon iré descartandolas.

Destiny

La historia y el estilo que ofrece son de mi estilo. Siento, si mal no recuerdo la sinopsis, que sera de descubrir algo del pasado de los protagonistas. De la guionista ya me vi un dorama que me gustó bastante.

RooT

Parece una historia de misterio pero suave, de esas que no seran oscuras pero pueden dar algunos giros atractivos.

366 Nichi

La historia en general no me llama porque es romance pero por algunas cosas que vi por ahí creo que habrá algun otro elemento que haga que me guste. La guionista ha trabajado en doramas que son de mis favoritos, eso hace que se merezca una oportunidad.

Re:Revenge

No soy fanática de las series de venganza asi que no voy con todas las expectativas pero la historia tampoco la veo mal y las imágenes promocionales han logrado captar mi atención.

Anti Hero

Me pasa como con el anterior, pues las series de abogados no van conmigo normalmente pero he visto avances que por el tono del dorama han hecho que quiera verla, aunque sea un capítulo.

Enjiya Re:act

Este básicamente lo veré porque me encantó la primera temporada, la cual fue una sorpresa en su momento puesto que no crei que la historia tuviera los tintes que tomó con el transcurso de la trama. Será un gusto ver a estos actores con estos papeles, de nuevo.

Believe: Kimi ni Kakeru Hashii

De éste he visto poca cosa, supongo que solo tendra sub en inglés. La historia sí me llama la atención pero no se si lo suficiente para verla en ingles aunque si estuviera en español, de todas maneras le daria su oportunidad.

Ubawareta Bokutachi

!!Asesinatos, misterios, engaños!! Son géneros que disfruto así que claro que me interesa verlo pero también se podría correr el riesgo de que sea algo pretencioso que no llegue a ser lo que parece sin embargo eso solo se puede saber viendolo.

Yakusoku ~16nen-me no Shinjitsu~

Policias y asesinos en series, algo que pocas veces falla conmigo. Claro que quiero verlo aunque sea en ingles, lo único que me desanima es que me suena mucho a una historia que ya he visto antes y no termino de recordar cual, pero capaz es solo porque todas las historias no tienen que ser super innovadoras.

95'

Me atrae la ambientación y la historia pero los posibles temas a tratar me hacen dudar. Sin embargo si lo llego a encontrar, veré el comienzo por lo menos.

The house of owl

De este dorama casi nada he visto sin embargo creo que ese juego de intenciones entre padre e hijo que se lee en la sinopsis pueden dar una buena historia. Pero no creo encontrar subtitulos de este dorama, la verdad.

Los siguientes no es que no me interesen pero serian como las últimas opciones para elegir.

En ambos casos se presentan historias que si bien no me parecen tan interesantes tampoco parecen que vayan a ser aburridas.

Considerando que varios de la lista de arriba seguro no tendrán subs ni en ingles😐 o no me alcancen las ganas para verlas en ingles, es muy posible que vea aunque sea uno de estos.

ACMA:GAME

Tiene su atractivo con una historia poco común pero no termino de decidirme si es de mi estilo o no.

BLUE MOMENT

Un dorama que seguro contará con historias emocionantes y conmovedoras pero el tema central tampoco es que me anime del todo.

Esta temporada me he animado bastante porque hay varios doramas que me atraen y por los menos de 3 de ellos me entusiasman. Lo malo de esto es que también tengo ansias de comenzar series de otros años como por ejemplo Nagi no Oitoma, Gibo to Musume no Blues, Juhan Shuttai!, Reverse, Yakou Kanransha y BG: Personal Bodyguard, ademas ya me empecé subete Wasurete shimau kara pero bueno por lo menos este último es corto.

2020 winter dorama SP

A number of highly anticipated drama specials screened during the lull before the new drama year starts. Hanzawa Naoki 2 Episode 0 I never got into the Hanzawa hype, but it was the highest rated drama of last decade. It's due for a sequel later this year, and has decided to whet everyone's appetite with a short spin-off in episode 0. Commerce, business and economics being my weak point, I had no idea what they were talking about, but the gist of it was that one of the big business (or stocks?) companies was trying to change their online system, and other people are trying to use this opportunity to undermine its digital security. For something that's just over 1 hour long, it managed to fit a surprising amount of character development and sympathy without compromising the pace. Neither Yoshizawa Ryo nor Imada Mio are fantastic actors but they're photogenic enough to make you overlook that. Gibo to musume no Blues (rating: 16.0%) I was really looking forward to this, and so I was quite disappointed by what turned out to be 2 hours of nothing really happening. Of course, it's nice enough to see the characters grace the screen once more with their familiar quirks, but it didn't have the emotional heft the original series managed. It looks like it's trying to set up a second series with Takenouchi Yutaka having another big role, but his reintroduction was soured by the fact that he was teased multiple times throughout the 2 hours but was only properly introduced, quite literally, at the closing minute. As much as I like Satou Takeru, I still think this is one of his more awkward and less likeable roles, and there's very little chemistry between his bumbling character and Ayase Haruka's elite office lady. If there is another season, I hope it's better quality than this Kyoujou (rating: 15.0 + 15.3%) Kimura Takuya is a brand so strong that his name being attached to a drama is assurance enough about its quality. Even then, this 2-part series (coming up to 4 hours total) was a pleasant surprise. Supported by a cast of popular B-grade young actors, including Miura Shohei, Kudou Asuka, Oshima Yuko, Kawaguchi Haruna, Hayashi Kento, Aoi Wakana and Nishihata Daigo, and adapted from Nagaoka Hiroki's award-winning book of the same name, what it doesn't have in the form of explosions and fisticuffs, it makes up for in its gripping characterisations. Set in a police academy, frequently described by characters as "a sift" to rid the police force of poorly qualified people. But where it could have been the survival of the cruellest, the appearance of Kimura's character Kazama Kimichika puts a stop in that. Aloof and apparently emotionless, his lessons teach self-belief, empathy and persistence, while forcing students to confront their reason to be in the police force and work out for themselves whether they're appropriate for the job. In the process, he also weeds out students who are likely to later abuse their authority for personal gain, as they are already doing in the school. The cutting between characters and scenes feels choppy at the start but as you become familiar with the class it makes the interactions more interesting. I would have loved to watch this as a fully fledge 12 part series as its own, and giving each character more time to develop, but at the same I appreciate the tighter pacing. The ending opens the way for sequels, and I'd love to see more.

Summer 2018 Dorama Recommendations

[idleminds]

[saiangelo999]

2019 T.v. show Tracker

Part 2

Animes

Mo Dao Zu Shi

Finished it. Read the novel. Checking out the Cdrama (The Untamed). Obsessed. Watch it, it’s worth it. 

Currently watching season two! Jing Ling is so precious and all the chibis are SO CUTE!

Dororo

In progress (~episode 20) - Love it so far! Excited to see where it goes!

Update: Dororo was always precious but I just appreciate this child more and more as the episodes continue. I really enjoyed the lighter episode with the opposite village and the swordsmaster. Also, I am glad that Itachi finally died... but tbh I can’t hate him. Dororo is soo forgiving, my precious child. 

Edit: Completed. Enjoyed the story and the way that it was wrapped up.

My Roommate is a Cat

Completed - Loved it! Super cute, fluffy and touching. Fun to watch! Really enjoyed the show and REALLY want more! Please make a season 2!!

Fruits Basket 2019

It’s definitely doing its job of hitting the heartstrings true to Fruits Basket lore (I loved the manga). That opening (1) tho is so depressing really setting the mood for the show I guess... I’m excited for more and aware of the pain that is yet to come. But I am excited (and hopeful) to see them do justice to the plot this time. Update: s1 is almost over and I really enjoyed it! 

One Punch Man

Loved it!! Finished season one! It was way too short... Will watch season two when all the episodes come out! I actually found the show to have a lot of parallels with The Disastrous Life of Saiki which could be the reason that I enjoyed it so much. I really don’t know how all the fans who watched it when it was first released could have waited so long for season two.

Ruroni Kenshin

Randomly started it cuz I was planning on watching it for a while and it was on Netflix so I thought - why not. Liking it so far but I haven’t gotten very far yet so it’s hard to form an opinion atm.

Dramas

Bad Guys

Completed - Good Binge. 

It was very addicting, very interesting premise that captured my attention initially. It’s a good binge, but around episode 10 the show, the show sort of fizzled out for me. The hitman’s storyline (Jung woo) was a bit too melodramatic for my taste and was a bit off-putting, however I absolutely loved the psychopath’s story. That definitely kept me hooked throughout. One huge plus of this show is the action, and it is a lot of fun to watch if you don’t think about the show too much.

Gibo to Musume no Blues

Completed - Loved it!  I’d highly recommend it!

This show was so adorable and so sweet and fun to watch from start to finish. I really enjoyed this slice of life and the warm stepmother and stepdaughter relationship throughout the show. It was very heartwarming to watch. I loved how all the characters were treated with respect and didn’t seem like hollow caricatures, I liked the relationships portrayed in the show and the general warmth that this show had throughout.

I am still not over what happened to Ryoichi :( , but I can say that I absolutely loved every single character in this show. The baker definitely grew on me more and more throughout the later half of the show and he became very lovable. Overall, this was a great drama that I am glad I checked out!

Children of Nobody/ Red Moon Blue Sun

Completed - Loved it! 15/10 would recommend!

This drama was really really gripping. I like how the story didn’t feel very formulaic, and I admit I was quite unsure what was going on in the first 2 or so episodes. But once the plot line was set in motion, I was along for the ride. One huge reason for that is probably the main character Cha Woo Kyung, she won me over very quickly and her backstory was very intriguing. I also really like Yi Kyung’s character as well as his team, though it did take me a while to warm up to him. The children all did a phenomenal job as well - I especially like Ha Na and Si Wan’s acting.Si Wan is another huge factor that kept me watching, the child actor did a great job!

One thing I definitely appreciated with this show was how morally grey all the characters were, it made them more relatable. If I were to compare it to similar mystery/crime kdrama’s I’ve seen, I think so far this would rank the highest - the plot was engaging, the characters were interesting, there was absolutely ZERO focus on developing a romantic relationship and the topic - abuse (child primarily) was handled well.

Her Private Life

Really loving Ryan Gold so far!! He’s actually super considerate and kind? Love it! Quite like the female lead as well. Love her relationship with her best friend, they are absolutely adorable! Not too happy about what I heard about the Eun Gi thing where they did the Reply staple of making the viewers assume that he’s her brother only to find out he’s interested in her romantically and that they aren’t blood-related... why is this trope so popular? This reminds me a lot so far of Reply 1997. 

Update: show is moving on in a very cliche way... extremely predictable so far. Will maybe stick w it bc I love Ryan’s character and the couple are adorable. TBH I didn’t start this for the plot. Another gripe that I have is just why do kdramas always do the thing where the main couple are meant to be and met during their childhood? I don’t get why that’s so popular... But I do respect the fact that Ryan’s real mom did not abandon him and that arc was resolved quickly.

Overall, it was better than a lot of other dramas in this genre and it was done with much less unnecessary drama. I appreciated how the side characters were handled and liked that they were given time to have their own sub-plots. A decent show all in all.

The Fiery Priest

Loved it! I like the mix of the action and comedy that was showcased in the show. I found this show to be very similar in the plot structure, comedy (to an extent) and characterizations to Chief Kim so I enjoyed the show a lot and had a pretty good idea of what to expect from the show. It’s a fun show that keeps you hooked for more, and like Chief Kim don’t expect any romance between characters to really develop.

Angel’s Last Mission: Love

Shin Hye Sun is just gorgeous, omg. She’s also a really good actress. I really liked seeing her in this role coming out of watching Still 17 to see the sheer difference in personality. I am enjoying the contrast. Also, I like her chemistry with Myungsoo. I don’t care for the second lead nor can I bring myself to empathize with him. I also am somewhat disappointed with her family sub-plot because so far it seems pretty cliche so I’m hoping for a plot twist or two. 

DNF. 

Project S The Series: Spike

I FINALLY finished it! Really loved it. Great acting, loved the pace of the show and how realistic it felt. I really liked watching the team come together and grow together. The few female characters were a delight - Jern is so lovable and adorable. Bright is very sweet and does a lot for the team. Puen’s relationship with the entire team was interesting to see - his strong bond with Singha and now Than, his relationship with Jern and ofc his friends. Than’s relationship with his dad was also portrayed realistically right til the end. It’s a good watch, and I’ll definitely re-watch the series. 

Ao to Boku

So addicting, waiting for the last episode to be subbed. Please get subbed!

Update: it was subbed! Finished it! Enjoyed the drama overall. A nice mystery/friendship/slice-of-life one. Be warned that although there is a bit of mystery it is mainly a slice-of-life/friendship drama.

The Untamed

I enjoyed it overall (tho I did end up skipping over some episodes). I thought that it was a faithful adaptation to the novel considering the censorship issues. I love how they took out a lot of the explicit gay but still somehow made parts of the show gayer. Also I LOVE fairy. Fairy is an adorable fluffball that owns my heart <3.

DNF - He is Psychometric

Melo Suits Me/ Be Melodramatic

So... they really made one of the cutest love stories tragic huh. I’m really enjoying the show so far, I love the friendship between the main 4 leads. I am interested about the industry and I like the balance that the drama has with its humour, friendship, love and slice-of-life elements. I really like the actress and her manager couple they are so cute! I kind of wish I have more cute mother-son moments with the kid so hopefully in a future episode.

Update: Finished it! Liked the ending overall, had one minor qualm. I really liked the Director (Yeller) that was introduced. He was an unexpected delight and I love his dynamic with Eun Jung. I did like that they did end up subverting a romantic relationship and left it platonic. That was unexpected.

T.v. shows

Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Season 6 - Finally finished it! Lot of fun, and enjoyed watching yet another season of the show. I really enjoyed their Cinco de Mayo heist this year and thought that was a lot of fun. I personally didn’t really feel Gina’s absence too much though her going away words were cute near the beginning of the season.

Broadchurch

Completed - Completely binged season 3! I love this show! 

I forgot how beautiful the cinematography in the show was! Their little village is gorgeous. It’s a bit jarring to watch it after a year or so because my memory of season 2 of Broadchurch was quite hazy. Nevertheless, I absolutely love this show. This season was very different from the previous ones, and it had a good build up but the final reveal of the culprit was quite... predictable. However, there was a twist that came with the reveal that came completely out of the blue. I liked the way Alec/D.I Hardy and Ellie handled the issue at hand and set an example of how cases of rape should be handled within the police force. It was also really nice to see Beth’s growth, the vicar and what Maggie were up to! I also enjoyed seeing Alec and his daughter’s relationship grow. Too bad its cancelled... here’s hoping that one day they’ll renew it. 

Stranger Things season 3

I personally liked it a lot more than season two because I felt that it had more growth from the characters. I liked Eleven’s character growth and how the dynamic of the relationships changed and seeing the kids grow up. But, I’m definitely getting a bit tired of this show... because although I did enjoy this season, I still feel that in a way it was redundant.

Derry Girls s2

I loved it! So funny. So adorable. Love the characters and the ridiculous situations that they put themselves in (or are put in). Sister Michael is still my fave, her lines are always pure gold.

Anne with an E season 3

Trying to keep track of it as it is airing on CBC. I missed the second episode :( But I watched episode 3 and the foreshadowing for the residential schools omg
