Strong, graceful, defiant, loyal, brave. Anna Sawai won the Best Actress Emmy 2024 and Golden Globe 2025, and so well deserved. The scenes at Osaka Castle are so powerful and memorable, Mariko facing questioning by the council, and when she and her group defiantly try to leave. Shōgun also won the Best Drama Emmy 2024 &amp; Golden Globe 2025.</p>

SSH was in Dr Jin, an AWFUL <a href="https://mas.to/tags/KDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDrama</span></a> remake of a <a href="https://mas.to/tags/JDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JDrama</span></a>, and in that one he was comprehensively out-acted by a pickled brain in a jar. That one was made a year AFTER this one, and it's my recollection that in this poor Ms Kim would have been served by having a green screen as her romantic interest. </p><p> Curiously enough, I've gone on to like him in a few, her, not so much.</p>
Ronsboy67<p>Why yes, spooky YT algorithm, thanks for suggesting this, I DO miss Gakki. But as much as I LOVE this <a href="https://mas.to/tags/JDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JDrama</span></a> and this awesome dance, I'd be REALLY impressed if you recommended anything from my favourite <a href="https://mas.to/tags/JDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JDrama</span></a> of hers</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKw1PRGPIQ4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=pKw1PRGPIQ</span><span class="invisible">4</span></a></p>
Ronsboy67<p>Drama Recs Challenge Day 2<br>I agonised over this one too, not sure about what IS "epic".

Critically it has an uncomplicated happy ending, after a gut-punchingly emotional couple of eps toward the end.</p>
commonst<p>I can't quite remember why I clicked on this one. I probably wanted something different to watch during software release time. Finished it this morning, and while it wasn't a strong romance it was good. The idea that love is antithetical to success at studying and the turn around on that feels like a social commentary I don't have the knowledge to fully appreciate. But the gist of it got through, and it was a very cute first love story. Unusual format. It was quite enjoyable.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/jdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jdrama</span></a></p>
Ronsboy67<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@girlbandgeek" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>girlbandgeek</span></a></span> <br>That's my name for the trope, I don't know what others call it, but it has creeped me out right from the start of my <a href="https://mas.to/tags/KDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDrama</span></a> watching 12 years ago. Happily, it's MUCH less common in <a href="https://mas.to/tags/CDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CDrama</span></a>, <a href="https://mas.to/tags/JDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JDrama</span></a> and <a href="https://mas.to/tags/TWDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TWDrama</span></a></p><p>I dumped Cha-Cha-Cha because of the omniscient, omnipotent ML. Sadly THAT trope is also very common in <a href="https://mas.to/tags/CDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CDrama</span></a>, especially.</p>
Ronsboy67<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.green/@joakimfors" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>joakimfors</span></a></span> East Asian comedy generally doesn't sync well with me. The attached image shows all the Dramas that I've tagged as having comedy either primary or secondary genre. Not many out of almost 530, and <a href="https://mas.to/tags/JDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JDrama</span></a> has a clear edge over <a href="https://mas.to/tags/KDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDrama</span></a></p>
Jill<p>I just finished the short but very sweet <a href="https://NerdJoy.social/tags/jdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jdrama</span></a> <a href="https://NerdJoy.social/tags/WhyIDressUpForLove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhyIDressUpForLove</span></a>. It stars the ML from the Japanese version of <a href="https://NerdJoy.social/tags/Nevertheless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nevertheless</span></a> as a laid-back food truck owner who learned to cook in Spain, and a FL who is an up-and-coming influencer for a cute housewares company. And a home full of roommates.</p><p>A solid 8.5/10.</p>
commonst<p>Me: ok, now back to watching down my <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/kdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kdrama</span></a> list of what I have started.

commonst<p>My partner: what did you do this afternoon.</p><p>Me: tried fixing the media machine, and finished a <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/jdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jdrama</span></a> romance.</p><p>Him: did you yell at the TV?</p><p>Me: yes.</p><p>Him: ah, so it was a good romance then. That's nice.</p>
commonst<p>Yes, of course. </p><p>Priorities.</p><p>That was a really well done drama. It felt in parts like an introduction to Korean culture, which maybe it was. <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/kdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kdrama</span></a> and <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/jdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jdrama</span></a> , at least what I have seen of them, feel very different to each other. This felt like a nice mix of both. This had the Japanese focus on food and also the yelling at the leads to get their acts together that is more Korean. </p><p>I liked. Would watch again.</p><p>After I fix the media machine.</p>
commonst<p>I am watching <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/EyeLoveYou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EyeLoveYou</span></a> on my own, and also <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/UnlockMyBoss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnlockMyBoss</span></a> with my partner. And it just connected with me that the male lead in both these is played by <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ChaeJongHyeop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChaeJongHyeop</span></a> . I have also seen him in <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Sisyphus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sisyphus</span></a> according to IMDB. I am enjoying his acting, I will have to keep an eye out for him in the future. <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/kdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kdrama</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/jdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jdrama</span></a></p>
commonst<p>Tae-O is ADORABLE. </p><p>My brain wants to call him Tae-Ho a la <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Vincenzo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vincenzo</span></a>. Because this is Japanese I am not sure if Tae-Ho or Tae-Oh is more accurate. Either way he is still just the sweetest character I have seen in a while. </p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/jdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jdrama</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/kdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kdrama</span></a></p>
commonst<p>in my quest to find silly shows to get me through the final stages of the release cycle. And boy does this show deliver.</p><p>A <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/jdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jdrama</span></a> this time, the female lead has the ability to read minds. The male lead is from Korea and thinks in Korean, which the female lead doesn't know how to speak. He starts out delivering food to her, but by the end of the episode he is working at her company... which frowns on fraternisation. Hilarity ensues.</p><p>I love how <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/jdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jdrama</span></a> has such a food centred focus. Or at least the ones I have watched do. Because our hero is Korean, the food in episode 1 is mostly Korean. I know, shocker. But a fun little twist. <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/kdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kdrama</span></a> food tends to be whatever the sponsor is shilling, which can be quite creatively done but not the same level.</p><p>Between this and <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ThePotatoLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThePotatoLab</span></a> I will be well entertained.</p>
Mariam al-Masri<p>I've become obsessed with the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/jdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jdrama</span></a> Spec~Birth. It follows my favorite tropes in East Asian media: the genius psycho who can solve cases and the sane righteous cop. What was interesting was how the FL is the insane psycho and solves most of the cases by herself with the ML acting as the muscle and moral compass as they solve crimes around people w/special abilities.</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>japan</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>media</span></a></p>
Ronsboy67<p>There've been 4323 days since May 13, 2013 - the day I watched my 1st ever episode of a <a href="https://mas.to/tags/KDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDrama</span></a> Since then, my personal database tells me that I've spent the equivalent of 480.01 days watching <a href="https://mas.to/tags/KDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDrama</span></a>, <a href="https://mas.to/tags/JDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JDrama</span></a>, <a href="https://mas.to/tags/TWDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TWDrama</span></a> &amp; <a href="https://mas.to/tags/CDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CDrama</span></a> &gt;10%, so ~2.5 hours of every day for the last 11 yrs 10 months😱</p>
