☾♛☽ Σｘｏｔｉｃｓ- TV/DRAMAS/MOVIES DISCUSSION THREAD

I just finished watching Qin Dynasty Epic - a historic Chinese drama based on the rise of the first Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang and his destiny to unite China under one...

Quote from Kireta

78 episodes. damn can I commit myself to that.... its probably very political right

yeah i guess you would call a political show...some people like historical dramas others not so much...

it basically has no popular actors (at least in terms of youth popular culture actors/actresses - would you call them idol actors???) but the actors they do have are all top notch...even the supporting cast

Ooo

Quote from Kireta

what dramas do you watch

I’m a chronic starter and stopper because I start something then go looking for something else. So I feel like I saw 3 or 4 episodes before bailing, like “oh man we’re gonna have all these little kid flashbacks and I just don’t care” Or “this girl is too silly and I can’t.” Or Netflix tells me to try this and I think “oh this is good,” then start and realize it’s 70 episodes again.

I really liked Rise of the Phoenixes most recently - I love epic historical machinations in any language. I also enjoy some well executed wuxia - am currently watching Handsome Siblings. I loved Kingdom but have struck out trying to find anything like it (please give me the few hours of my life back from watching King The Eternal Monarch, which Netflix lied to me about.)

Quote from Kireta

omg yea eternal monarch had me so hype because well, lee min ho's big return right and the fl from goblin. but the storyline was so boring

Yeah. Definite letdown. I’m definitely ready for a new show..what are you watching right now?

Quote from Kireta

well I've started true beauty but it's taking a lot out of me to continue it LOL

I'm currently looking for a new cdrama to watch

True Beauty was on the bailout list for me. I think I need to just know when I see Cha Eun-woo to just click the hell out of a show.

I just finish Busted. Sehun is so eye candy and his puzzle solving skills have improved a lot. I'm thinking of rewatching Season 1 and 2.

Quote from Kireta

I only watched the first episode of season 3 because I missed seeing suho

Suho was so cute too. He really looked like a nerd and Sehun was like telling him this is how we do this.

I'm halfway through Mr. Queen and started the second season of Busted the other day

But 2nd ml and fl look interesting? Still not worth watching?

Any of you watched Mr queen? It is my next tv show to watch!

It is also on my to watch list, it look like that kind of show that gets better with each new season.

Quote from Kireta

Oh that said everything :-D

Quote from Kireta

What did you think of mr.queen isn’t it so good

I was surprised because it's genuinely so funny without being cringey and I love the chaotic energy Shin Hye Sun's acting is another level, she actually starred in the first season of my fav kdrama (Stranger) and I did not recognize her AT ALL. I'm holding back on giving a definite rating though cause I've seen some negative comments about the finale but I didn't want to be spoiled so I didn't read them I'm on episode 12 rn.

The first episode did not convince me all that much but once they focused entirely on the Joseon era I was sold!

I spoiled ending and I think it is good.

I spoil endings because animes, Scarlet heart and Chinese dramas literally traumatized me.

I'll admit that I've never watched anime or cdramas so nothing has traumatized me this much yet

I started to watch rise of phonenixes but it was so slow I skipped a lot

I think you will like story of ming lan

The plot is good and the characters are realistic and reasonable

I finished Begin Again recently. A lighthearted, cute second chance type of drama with a bit of angst.

Although there were parts that didn't make sense at all the characters are lovable. Strong, smart, bold female lead and nice, caring, too good to be real male lead

It has been long time since I watched a drama without skipping episodes

Did anyone watch the untamed? I am contemplating whether to watch it or read the translation of the novel instead

Girl.... with some traumas we have to live give it a try

so what's the most traumatic cdrama you've seen? i might give it a try when i feel like suffering

I finally watched that Mr. Queen episode where they played Xiumin's song! Shame it was only during the end credits though

Quote from lostatsea

Historical ones... almost all of them

There was also this one which frustrated me to tears and had sad ending which should be interpreted as happy ending but I am not having it. Moonshine and Valentine. The nams says it all, I should have stayed away but good fmv can do wonders
