๐ฐ๐ท Because I am weak... because I've ALWAYS been weak, in multiple ways... I finally gave a try to South Korean revenge drama #TheGlory. I regret everything.

๐บ Draadje met #streamingtips, te vinden op de welgekende platformen zoals #Netflix, #DisneyPlus, #AmazonPrime, #Streamz en #AppleTV.
Met behulp van een goede VPN kan je sommige #series ook vinden op de BBCiPlayer of op andere streamingwebsites.
Het gaat over recente series of series waar net een nieuw seizoen of nieuwe afleveringen van uit kwamen.
Ik zal er ook af en toe ook wat #film tips tussen steken.
I would like to see more comedy series that take place during that time โ showing how people interacted then โ- either keeping to members of their own household, or interacting online with others.
@vlrny have you watched The Confession of Frannie Langton? A very good period drama, #britbox original short series adapted from the Sara Collins' novel
It annoys me that the news media elevated the leaders of the legacy parties to their own private Chrisfest, instead of having a leaders debate that included these 4. That would have been a much more robust and insightful debate than listening to two sheets of human wallpaper dribble talking points at each other.
That was the figure gave in the debate per day. I've done a Luxon and given the figure over a longer period of time, to make it look more impressive ; )
i remember when i used to avidly read conversations about #CDrama and #KDrama eagerly looking for more to add to my watch list.
Now I just keep reading until I find the post which tells me I won't be able to cope with it and this is another series I should probably miss.
How do you stress addicts manage it? Like seriously. How do you cope with all of the cortisol and stress reactions from your entertainment?
@emmaaum Reddit r/CDrama can be an acquired taste. It can get a little noisy and chaotic there and it is not as pleasant as in Mastodon. Meaning fights break out there sometimes. I know cos I am one of the mods that have to break it up ๐ but quite a number of folks who like slice of life stuff are there. I am pretty sure most of us here do occasionally watch quieter dramas too tho @geraineon
@liztai@emmaaum I watch on average 2-3 cdramas a year, and I'm usually only interested in wuxia or historical for cdramas, which will likely involve people killing each other and some melodrama. For all others, I go to anime. So for me specifically, lol no. I don't watch calm and chill cdramas
If you want slice of life anime recs though, I can give them
(Tapping out of this convo! Feel free to drop my username from here โ:meowthumbsup:โ)
Honestly, I am just tired of superhero movies. What, it has been 10 years of them? People want something different.
That's why I have retreated to #KDrama#CDrama spaces. I also watch Western dramas, but usually one thay doesn't run for seasons. I am also SUPER TIRED of tv shows getting cancelled before there is a proper ending!!
The genuine confusion you feel when almost the entire world loves #LoveBetweenFairyandDevil and you detest it to the depths of your very being. ๐ ๐
But that's par the course for me - I tend to dislike very popular dramas. Disliked Ashes of Love too. Two things are deal breakers for me: An infantile female lead & terrible acting.
When you have both together, well, that show doesn't stand a chance with me lol.

... that are rooted in and do something interesting with #TimeTravel.
Note: Doctor Who is not, for the most part, about time travel. Time travel is merely a contrivance to allow for a breadth of stories, so Who doesn't count here (though I could probably think of some specific episodes that do something interesting with time travel if I put my mind to it).
The same is true of Quantum Leap.
I guess The Time Traveler's Wife (Niffenegger) would fit to a degree, but it's not quite as time travel focused as I'm looking for.
Essentially, if I get introduced to some decent stories I'll be happy.
One of the reasons that I moved away from typical Western tv shows, and favour my BBC shows and a#kdrama, is the number of episodes and seasons. I like that things are generally simple with a Korean drama: beginning, middle, end. Boom. Done and dusted. If there is more than 1 season it is usually at the behest of the network and/or fan driven? And sometimes the extra season feels like that: extra and a tiny bit outside of the first, not as good. Although some feel like they could have used a 2nd season, eg #MoonLovers:ScarletHeartRyeo ๐
Unless it is a mystery/inspector series etc.. with the majority of UK shows, IF there is more than one season, the max number of seasons is 3-4, with 6-8 eps each. Again, done and dusted.
US shows typically have anywhere from 2-11 seasons and each season has at least 20 episodes. Characters in and out, highly formulaic (not that a kdrama doesn't have a formula) and after a while I get bored. Why not leave on an up like #TedLasso or #SchittsCreek?
True. Like BBC's Sherlock Holmes, short, packed, meaningful. (Too unfortunate it was cancelled because ofโฆ well, you know.) And the His Dark Materials TV adaptation (though I wish they extended it to 12 episodes instead of 8 per season, so they didn't have to skip some other good parts of the books).
I agree, like The Flash, while I am a big fan of the character, in any of its iterations, CW's The Flash was just too long, and repetitive. The first three seasons were great. After that, meh. I skipped S04 and S05. Then I continued from S06 to the end.
You know, at least in K-drama land, if a writer can do a 6-8 episode series, or 12, personally I think it shows their talent in writing. The director as well for that matter. Because then, it means they know the story they want to tell; and understand full well what are needed and what can be removed.
I'm not saying the other writers don't know how to write a good story. There are 16-episode and 25-episode (and longer) K-drama whose writers did not resort to filler scenes and episodes (especially in the time travel and mystery genres, every scene is a clue and adds to the overall arc). But, I think it is a challenge to write a 12-episode series, much more a 6-8-episode one season series, like Anna.
They have to pack it without losing focus and the impact. They have to combine the talents of the writer, the director, and editing, to capture everything and present it well. Not only that, but they have to build the characters too, in a short span of time, without taking too much air time away from the main plot.
It's like writing a short story. It's hard if you're not a seasoned author/writer, because you tend to add scenes in your story. If you just remove it later, it gets harder to make any sense, you do have to write from the beginning knowing your target is a short story.
I think, and again this is just my logical assumption, it's the same with writing for a 6-8-episode series. So, I have so much respect for writers who can pull it off and give us excellent shows.
TL;DR: #Shudder will be getting an ad- supported tier. If they offer this as a cheaper alternative, ok, but if #AMC+ eventually pushes this on current subscribers unless they pay more a la #Amazon, I'm out.
We already have an ad supported horror channel; it's called #TUBI.
@biancotitanio@stina_marie@horror Nowadays I usually go to second hand stores, as many, many people sold their DVD collection for a pittance and you can find almost any movie and usually in good state. And online shopping of course, specially for tracking "never released in my country" DVDs.
So a Discord group I am part of asked - what 12 dramas will I recommend people?
So this is a list of my favourite #CDramas and #KDramas. Have you seen any of them?

I'm gonna try to make this a thread. Yay for the ability to edit posts, I suppose? I'll also link in the post(s?) that isn't (aren't?) in order.
I fell asleep before the news was over, but I've tossed, turned, and searched since 3am
(hence my late arrival) I'm still investigating.
It's my nature, not to dismiss things as Unsolvable. I've scrolled through 100s Fictional Murder Solving non-police male TV series. The series is probably discontinued now.
A dark haired male assists murder solving like neuropsychiatrist would. Sees it in his head
@Ulzana Ah, as we have discussed previously. As I had mentioned, my trade encompassed much more variety, and was for the mechanically inclined, but not similar in construction and knowledge. I can pull anything apart. Putting it all back together might be a different story LOL
