challenge for #CDrama and #KDrama viewers - when was the last time you watched an episode of either in which all the instrumental BGM was either ballet, opera or baroque? #JDrama #MysteryToIunakare I have really MISSED #JDramas like this!😍😍

The original #JDrama Kimi Wa Petto is pretty much the archetypal specimen of what makes #JDramas unique.

It lost its nerve a bit at the end by opting for a more conventional relationship, but remains a great example of the quirky offbeat Japanese sensibility that doesn't fly in a #KDrama - which is why I have not watched (and will not watch) the #KDrama remake of this true J classic

@cs I went with 12 or so, but there really is no one right answer. Overall, I think the #JDrama #Dorama norm of 10-12 is the sweet spot, but some Dramas need more, and I've sat through 10 ep #JDramas feeling like they were never going to end. Then there's total runtime. Lots of shorter episodes versus fewer longer ones is whole nother question. So while I'm VERY STRONGLY a "less is more" kinda #KDrama #CDrama #JDrama viewer, the best answer is still "it depends" 😀

the 25 day #KDrama OST moved me to rewatch 2 favourite #JDramas - both starring Aragaki Yui . After finishing Full-Time Wife Escapist (5th) I ran a query to see which Dramas I've rewatched at least 3 complete times. Two each for #JDrama, #CDrama and #TWDrama - all reveal my brony nature, no #KDrama yet.

@liztai Wow! You have history 😄 I fell down the rabbit hole during the corona pandemic so that would be about 2020? I had become disenchanted with western series on American streaming services and was looking for something different…

#Kdrama doesn’t quite work for me because of my adoption hang up, which has more to do with me than with the quality of the dramas, I think.

I like some #Jdramas, too, but mainly like #Cdrama.

No logic, really 😃

Oh non …

Si vous matez des #jdramas, vous l'avez certainement deja vu.

Skimmed the obligatory (& repellent) "cute drunk" scenes in#KDrama "Serendipity's Embrace" ep1, now ep2 is turning me off with long scenes of the two female leads lingering over what is for me BY FAR the least appealing East Asian cuisine - Korean. I can't share their soup fetish, hate the idea of eating anything made with blood and so my K-food menu stops at tteokbokki, kimchi and fried chicken. #Cdramas, #TWDramas and #JDramas often get me salivating , #KDramas often get me FFing

@jane23c Ah, those sound like #JDramas based on manga or anime. There are a lot of those, and your description is fair. This is not that kind of Drama. One Day Off is quiet, contemplative, and reflective

LAST WEEKEND for the films half of Japan Film Festival Online. End date is Wednesday, but time zones make that effectively Tuesday for many of us.
Many excellent films to choose from. My summaries for most of them are on #JFF2024. Join us on the hashtag to add your thoughts.

From Tuesday/Wednesday, two #JDramas will be available for two weeks.

10/10 for #JDrama Woman. Much of the storyline was predictable, but the delivery was outstanding - ESPECIALLY from Mitsushima Hikari and Suzuki Rio playing her daughter. I kept thinking while watching it how twee, maudlin and exaggerated the same show would be if done as a #KDrama This shone because like many #JDramas, it REALLY groks "less is more" - an accusation that can seldom be levelled at #KDramas

In the end I gave #KDrama Call It Love 6/10 for a solid 1st half. Deliberate,comtemplative & VERY unhurried. But then it just went SLOW. The lasting impression of the final half (apart from worrying if I would live long enough) was of someone who thought that filming in geologic time was "arty" or "deep"

Most of my favourite slower Dramas are #JDramas but there have been some very good slower #KDramas too - One Day Off, Check Out The Event, My Liberation Notes. This one? Call it SLOW

Yep, I'm sure there is a lot of misogyny in #JDrama. checking the JDramas I've dropped, that was a significant factor in many of them. But of the 17 #JDramas I've score at 9 or higher, 12 are unequivocally built around the female lead. Okaeri Mone, Orange Days and Neechan No Koibito are good examples

Just a general shout out of thanks to all those who post about specific #CDramas #KDramas or #JDramas using the 'spoiler' tag here at Masto. Those of us who may be planning to watch but aren't YET watching deeply appreciate your thoughtfulness

@JillsJoy Always a delight to see one of my favourite #JDramas getting praised 😊

Halfway through "Kotaro Lives Alone" and it's an amazing example of all the reasons why #JDramas long ago became my favourites. Emotionally moving without sentimentality, addressing a difficult subject with unflinching directness and sensitivity, a lot of laughs and doing so in ten 23-minute episodes. Imagining #KDramas version is a frightening thought

The #snowflakeChallenge2024 said to talk about myself.

The first thing I remember wanting to be as a child is a #botanist because I looked it up in a dictionary and that's what they called studying #plants.

Next I wanted to be a #writer. Then I wanted to be a #dancer.

I am all of these and none of these. Now I call myself a #teacher but I don't want that alone to define me.

I am obsessive and fannish. Current likes are: #Jdramas, #kpop dance and #webcomics
