That’s a very nice analysis. I wish they put this kind of thing on the main page of shows.

Just finished this one, and I think it was rather good, each episode has different protagonists and there is a lot of psychology in the mix. Only one character is, I think, in every episode, but that clue is at the end. 2-3 episodes I found a bit weaker than the other ones, but the episodes are short and that keeps the danger of fillers small.
Maybe someone wants to try some older dramas, if you are lucky to be in the right region
You know these young actors almost 20 years ago
… apart from the leads, you will get to see Kim Nam Gil in a small role as a sidekick for the ML - dimple warning
Same actress as in Lovers but famous “Mr.Dimples” as he has many of them …
Lee Bo Young, did she ever fail a role, I can’t think of any …

@lutra these Korean series are only for US and in English only, sadly. I find the “Categories” features not good, and not at all complete, it’s much harder to find movies or dramas…

…, well if you live outside the Americas I guess and since it is probably the minority of the Viki customers you can imagine how much interest Viki has to make another change.

If you want to see another one of PMY’s hit; don’t miss this one! Love the chemistry with
GO KYUNG PYO.
I love everything about this drama, and I hope it stays like that through the end.

I’m trying to watch Material Universal right now and wondering how long I can keep it up, even though I’m on episode 19 by now.
Usually dramas get better from episode to episode… I’m still waiting, since this drama has 60 episodes, some characters must be maturing ?! But this crying and extremely playful is already really annoying

Have you watched Father is Strange? For me that is the one to beat for family dramas!

Anyone else watching Little Women?

I enjoyed Little Women. I thought it was going to be a remake of the older Little Women with Jo and Beth but it wasn’t even close.

Yes, I did enjoy it, but the cringe factor was more than in other family dramas. I preferred “Five Children” (now “Five Enough” on Viki) and Once Again.
In “Father is Strange” I intensely disliked the younger “romantic couple”. I thought there was no way this guy could fall in love with that ridiculous creature. I don’t know why they wrote that role in such a way. Poor actress! As if they purposefully wanted to show her ugly, badly dressed, super-clumsy and boring. Why? I liked the character of the gorgeous’ lawyer, she was a smart woman, although also tied by tradition (what’s with asking her father’s approval to move to her own apartment, and having to lie about her living with a man? Is that standard in today’s urban Korean professionals?), but her husband irked me with his ajumma perm, it looked pathetic on a mature gentleman.
If we’re talking about family dramas, I enjoyed A LOT “All about my mom” The romantic couple was quite boring but the main actress was phenomenal and the secondary, young couple, lots of fun.

@sophie2you…Anyone else watching Little Women?
It’s such a painful drama to watch that I had to put it on hold for a while. I have never hated a role (mom) so much like I hate that woman/character.
Not going to say the place I saw this but these are awesome movies I saw recently.
- Better than Us
- Crazy Romance
-#1 for me ASHFALL (Nk and SK conflict) - Start Up (not the one with Suzy) 2019 Dong Seok Ma/ Jung Min Park
-Love Fiction (2012) - Love Again (2018)
- The Warrior’s Way
- RESTAR THE EART— Great Chinese movie
- NINJA —from Japan/USA
-The Swords Man- (2020) based on true historical events with Jang Hyuk. - A GIFT WRAPPED CHRISTMAS- would love to see a SK version of this movie with Suzy and LJG ( the singer/actor from Vagabond)
- Little Woman ( on hold)
- Once upon a small Town- Park Soo Yeong/Choo Young Woo/Baek Sung Chul.
- The Glamorous Imperial Concubine.

Spoiler or misinformation from the synopsis, they didn’t live in an apartment but with his parents, to save up money for their own house.
Anyway this is my kind of drama a touch of real life, a bit of an ideal world with a slight piece of drama. 10 episodes à 45 minutes, at first you might think because of the synopsis that the couple Daiki and Nana would be too buzy spying on their neighbors and therefore wouldn’t have enough time to have a baby. That’s far from the truth though, even if the people leaving around them become more and more a part of their daily life, the main topic about this drama is about parents and kids. What one goes through for the sake of their kids? Or what kids do in order to make their parents happy? It doesn’t stop with minors, it’s also about the relationship of adult kids and their parents. And why to have children anyway? And what length you will take in order to have one …
In the mix there is a gay couple as well, and how they deal with the topic of their parents, or maybe become parents in the future.
So there is a lot going on for 7,5 hours.
