What are you currently watching?

Well I was watching a show they have here of the 2018 awards, and they gave International Award to an Australian/ French Director? that did a 5 part mini series. It’s called BLACK MIRROR and today I saw STRIKING VIPERS. Is rated R bc it has sexual contents, strong language etc…IF YOU ARE OVER 21, I recommend you start with this one. Crazy story it is.

22 July is from Norway based on true life events. The book is titled ONE OF US but forgot to write the author’s name. It’s about a terrorist and the victims that survived although he killed 77 ppl.

Zombie Detective is finally full speed ahead and I love it.

Just finished Go Ahead, my first Chinese drama :joy: I loved it so, soooo much–at least the first 20 or so episodes. I guess I’m either too used to 16-hour kdramas or Chinese dramas just drag too long. I fell in love with every single character, especially Ling Xiao (he’s so HANDSOME!!! :heart_eyes:) Whenever they were happy, I was, whenever they were sad, I cried. I loved the way they portrayed family, I loved the reckless female lead, I loved the two single dads who would do anything for their little, non-blood-related family. It makes me want to have two amazing older brothers just like them! I usually don’t enjoy slice-of-life dramas but this one was an exception! :heart_eyes::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
The only downer was that it dragggggeddddd so much in the 30-40 eps like I didn’t even care about some of the arcs :roll_eyes:
I loved the OST, the theme song was beautiful, even it’s lyrics were so apt and meaningful (thank you, translators, for the amazing job!!:heart::heart:)
SO in the end, I guess I’m going to stick to short 16-hour kdramas now… when I hear Korean now I feel like oh I know this language! :joy:

I will check out Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol just because it probably has some piano playing. All my kids are classical musicians so I tend to enjoy dramas with music. The other one I was thinking about checking out is Private Lives. Has anyone started on this one yet?

Black Mirror - I know people who are raving about this show. I think the “western” show that I was consistently watching before K drama barged into my life were " Bones" , “This is Us”, “Killing Eve”, “Walking Dead”, “Game of thrones” . A lot of people are recommending “Cobra Kai.” .I loved “Scrubs”, " Coupling" (BBC show) and I am a sucker for those “Paranormal reality shows”.

9-tailed - this is probably as close to “American Horror Story” as I can “compare” it to - I mean , honestly, it freaks me out - like “messes with my head” because of the malevolent supernatural bent to it and it’s dark but in a “sick” way. It plays with my “childhood” superstitions that I thought I had dismissed as an adult. I don’t know about everyone else…I’m sucked in though.

I will eventually branch out to C and J dramas…

It highly depends on the season and the episodes :sweat_smile: All of the episode are separate stories that have nothing to do with eachother, but take place in the same universe. So you can really like one story and dislike another one.

I’m sorry but I loved The Naked Director! some parts were hilarious. It’s about porn; so please… if you guys want to watch it, you must not be underage!

I found some scenes so funny I was laughing throughout the day. This one was also based on a true story.

Recently I stared to watch My Dangerous Wife, Lie After Lie & Tale of the Nine-Tailed.

  1. Thriller is my element so I love the suspense and howdunit :heart_eyes:
  2. The story story starts literally with a lie which was expected but the drama has so much more to offer so I am really excited to watch the next ep ^^
  3. Fantasy & romance? Who doesnt like that! And we have also good looking actors/actresses where I love Kim Bum btw

Last week I finished Missing: The Other Side and I loved everything about it! The flow and storytelling of this drama was so good and they explained 100% of the story + can also have a second season if you ask me. I had also no expectation at all and was suprised many times in those 12 Eps :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I just finished Someday or One Day. Highly recommend it and I think it’s going to become my favorite Taiwanese drama besides Autumn’s Concerto. The first 2 episodes were a bit slow, but well worth getting through those for the rest of the episodes.

Same here :sob: I cried many times lol

Erased. :jp:

I just finished season 2 of Stranger. Ah, that smile gets me every time! And I love the female detective :smile:

Season 2 is different than season 1, more so that it’s a commentary on the actual way things are with police and prosecutors (if I’m not mistaken). But the later half of the season felt a bit more like season 1. I was happy I figured out some of the easter eggs quite early :smile:

Looking forward to season 3.
