Evil. swedish tv series, ondskan {Swedish}, 2023! Pls watch it yall
i kinda wanna do an analysis blog every week for a new episode of a series i watch but i dont know what the fuck to watch, recommendations anyone?
Decided to make a list of all the k-dramas I've seen (I'll probably forget a few of them) with a note, because why not?
I'M NOT A ROBOT: 4/10. First drama I ever watched, which is why it gets a higher note than 2/10. Never managed to finish it.
PINOCCHIO: 7/10, really liked it on the first watch, impossible to get through afterwards. Main lead was charming until I realised he wasn't that charming.
W: 6/10. I loved the idea and plot and drawings, but I got very lost towards the end. The main couple had potential but then what.
GOBLIN: 5/10. Never was able to finish it. Age gap made me uncomfy. The only reason I pushed through for a while was the side couple.
EXTRAORDINARY YOU: 9/10. Favorite drama, except for the last episode, and the fact that every male character except for Haru and Donghwa was pretty much despicable. I do recommend watching to see the mess the extras are up to (most scenes have the extras being so damn amazing). The main couple was cute.
MY ID IS GANGNAM BEAUTY: 9,5/10, has a very special place in my heart. It had important subjects and finally a female lead that feels more or less realistic. Also nasty misoginistic guys get knocked out or shamed so that's a plus.
LAWLESS LAWYERS: 10/10. Can do no wrong in my mind. It's fun, it has action, it has drama, it's nice -I probably idealize it thanks to it being the first drama I ever finished-.
MY NAME: 10/10. Yes. Exactly. Everything about it is a work of art. Strong subjects but it's handled well, in my opinion, and having a female lead in such an action-filled serie was so fucking good.
STRONG WOMAN DO BONG SOON: 8/10, very fun to watch (even with the dark parts). The main couple is cute, and even if some of the humor makes me go "eh?", most of it is nice.
WEIGHTLIFTING FAIRY: 8/10, way funnier and better than I expected, and I love the friendships in it, very light hearted overall.
OH MY VENUS: 0/10. Trash.
THE LEGEND OF THE BLUE SEA: 6/10, it almost got me screaming out of frustration. It's fun but also CAN SHE PLEASE USE HER BRAINCELLS FOR ONCE?
MY LOVE FROM THE STARS: 8/10, I keep going back to it. Comfort show so I am VERY biased. I do like to deny the last episode existed and live in a comfortable state of denial.
DESCENDANTS OF THE SUN: 6/10. Got stuck halfway, ended up watching the chinese counterpart instead.
LOVERS OF THE RED SKY: 9/10. It looked stunning, the storyline was addicting, I would sell my soul for the main lead.
HEALER: 8/10, better than I expected.
ZOMBIE DETECTIVE: 9,5/10, mindless fun, easy to watch.
RUGAL: 7/10, not bad.
LOVE WITH FLAWS: 3/10. Only watched for some representation. The main couple gave me headaches, I hated everyone except for a total of three characters. Not worth it.
WHEN THE CAMELLIA BLOOMS: 8/10, I don't really get the mystery part but the romance was cute and I really liked the main dude.
ITAEWON CLASS: 8/10, finally some representation! Plot was kind of messy but the women in it were badass and I liked the overall show.
WHERE STARS LAND: 5/10. Meh.
I REMEMBER YOU: 4/10, only watched for the brothers.
LET'S FIGHT GHOST: 8/10, fun to watch, light hearted, overall nice. The main couple was great to see interract and all.
ARE YOU HUMAN: 2/10, the relationship felt creepy.
HOTEL DEL LUNA: 9/10, this drama took my heart and smashed it like a piñata.
ANGEL'S LAST MISSION: LOVE: 6/10, I don't remember much from it, so it was quite forgettable.
THIRTY BUT SEVENTEEN: 8/10. Actually pretty good? The survivor's guilt in it was interesting to see, and I love found families. Some things did make me a bit uncomfortable (since you know... she still feels like she's seventeen).
WHERE YOUR EYES LINGER: 4/10. Not even fun to watch, honestly. Mention of the classic "who's the bottom" and shit like that made me want to disappear from existence.
K2: 7/10. Lots of Snow White references.
COLOR RUSH: 5/10. They had a light hearted (more or less) start and then... it went super angsty all of a sudden? Wtf?
DEVILISH CHARM: 5/10. Forgettable. Lol.
WATCHER: 9/10, interesting characters and plot, kept me captivated the whole time.
UNCONTROLLABLY FOND: 0/10. No.
GRACEFUL FAMILY: 4/10. Yes... but no.
JUST BETWEEN LOVERS: 9,5/10, very sweet, very comfortable in a way? It deals with trauma and family and relationships in such a way, it's pretty much an unforgettable drama for me. Loved it, loved the couple, loved the characters.
SELL YOUR HAUNTED HOUSE: 4/10. I forgot to care after the second episode.
TELL ME WHAT YOU SAW: 8/10, captivating, very much one of the mystery cops series where you know what it's going to be before you watch it, but still keeps you interested.
LIVE ON: 9/10, better than expected, sweet relationship.
THE GIRL WHO SAW SMELLS: 7/10. Never finished it. Plot made me confused and for what.
MY FELLOW CITIZENS: 4/10. Eh.
MEMORIST: 8/10. Once I got into it, it was very fun to watch.
KILL IT: 10/10, all time favorite, I really liked the vibe, the themes, the characters, the twists.
A PIECE OF YOUR MIND: 5/10. Really liked it at first (the main lead is freaking awesome) but then got more and more uncomfortable as it went.
THE TALE OF NODKU: 6/10. I remember it more fondly than it actually was.
HOMETOWN CHA-CHA: 5/10. I don't even know whether I liked it or not.
BEAUTY INSIDE: 7/10, I guess the message is good? I didn't get so attached to the romance, but it was okay to watch. And it introduced me to Lee Da Hee, so that's pretty nice.
EXTRAORDINARY ATTORNEY WOO: 8/10, likeable characters!
VINCENZO: 7/10, some of the moments were very fun to watch and some... meh. Way more brutal than I expected.
100 DAYS MY PRINCE: 4/10. Nearly unwatchable. The showrunners saw "hate at first sight" and ran with it.
SEARCH WWW: 7/10, main couple was so boring I skipped most of their scenes. Only watch for women supporting women and secondary couple.
CHOCOLATE: 3/10. Bo-ring.
EXTRACURRICULAR: 5/10, it felt like a fever dream.
BUSINESS PROPOSAL: 5/10. Not as fun as I was told it'd be. Cliché defying? Yeah right.
STRANGERS FROM HELL: 8/10. I like to forget it exists. I'm still scared of this drama after more than two years.
(There are more k-dramas but
1. I'm tired
2. I don't remember all of them)
I just finished pantheon and found out it’s been canceled!
I need recommendations before I loose my mind, I can’t even find any stories online yet 😞
Looking for recommendation
I'm looking for any kind of work in which : either the main character is a womanizer but realise at some point that he is actually gay/bi Or for any kind of gay panic/discovers that he is gay :D
IT IS. AND IM TIRED OF PEOPLE NOT REALISING IT.
“The animation is so bad in the beginning I can’t watch it” if that’s your only reason, stfu, stop being so picky, and just watch it. The amount people use that as their only reason is fucking insane, if you just don’t wanna watch it then say that you’re uninterested instead of insulting it for no reason.
This series is beautiful, it is incredibly well written, story is interesting and in depth, making me want to keep watching, want to know more about the world and the magic and the lore. It’s all incredible. The humour in it is wonderful and yet the serious moment where capable of making me cry. The backgrounds and scenery is gorgeous, and say what you want about the early animation but it wasn’t even that bath and yet it still got so much better. The character designs are amazing, and the 3D models are well made and integrated into the 2D spaces better than people give it credit for.
Yet the thing that makes me praise it the most is its characters. They are all so unique, well written, and given wonderful personalities. Even the bad guys I love, I love that I hate them, I hate them for what they have done and but I love that they have been written so well that even with all they do you question your emotions about them. The series makes you wonder what side you are cheering for, makes you sympathise with the villains and conflicts your emotions with the reality of their actions.
And the heroic main characters aren’t perfect either, they have flaws and they make plenty of mistakes. Their morals are questioned and they are forced to make hard decisions, made to choose between their code or the lives of the people they care about, between their needs and the needs of their people, between their family or their own happiness. Between what is right and what is expected of them.
The characters are diverse, it has multiple queer relationships (one of which is incredibly important to the story later on) a non-binary character, and a trans-man. They aren’t afraid to show LGBT+ characters, they don’t shy away from them showing their love, or talking about their experiences with their gender. And it’s not just queerness that’s represented but disability too! A key character is deaf and they do not use it to make her lesser, she is strong and respected person who holds a position of power.
I’m sure the show has flaws, nothing is without them. But in my opinion The Dragon Prince is the most damn near perfect thing I have ever watched. This series is so good that I got me through hard times, and brought me joy in some of my worst moments. I will never stop sharing this series with as many of my friends as possible, I will scream its praise until my voice is gone and then I will still write it until my hands fall off. I will advocate for this series until my last breath.
Yet it continues to be overlooked, time and time again not getting the attention it deserves and getting hate that it doesn’t. The fan base is so small. It makes me sad knowing that such a great piece of media will get forgotten about far too fast, without even getting the recognition that it should have. I will never forget, and I’m hyped for the new season. PLEASE watch it if you haven’t 🙏
netflix the dragon prince is so fucking good i’m genuinely surprised there aren’t more people talking ab it. especially after so much time
