Lou:
In terms of My Mister recs, I'd say these might be something for you;
Taiwan: Someday or One Day (13-episode series)
China: Better Days (movie)
Korea: Money Flower (24- episode drama)
Japan: Like Father, like Son (movie)
Took me about a week to finish watching all these. Great recommendations right here. Thanks alot.
Someday or One Day (2019) - Cleverly well-written script and crafted plot, probably the best time-travel series I’ve seen and I’m glad I went in full blind on this one with zero information. Might be slightly slow at the start. Great watch. A+
Better Days (2019) - This one is definitely a masterpiece. One of the best movies I’ve seen and definitely my favourite movie for now. Great acting, camerawork and screenplay. Really glad I watched this one. A++
Money Flower (2017) - This was an okay drama for me, not really a fan of rich family business politics but at least it kept me intrigue on how the revenge will work out. For its genre, I think it is probably pretty good. Series is rather slow and is certainly better during the 2nd half of the series. A-
Like Father, like Son (2013) - A powerful movie and brings a new perspective that I’ve never thought about. Good movie. B+
emi:
Korea - Prison Playbook
China - The Romance of Tiger and Rose
Thanks for the recommendation.
Prison Playbook (2017) - Watched this some time ago. Remember it being pretty good in some way but thought that should have dived more into the psychological and morality aspects of the criminals. Probably unpopular opinion but it’s an okay watch for me. B+
The Romance of Tiger and Rose (2020) - A fun and cute watch. Story is simple and fall flat slightly but the concept is interesting as it tries to deal with gender divisions. Plenty of banters and comedic moments but some minor frustrations here and there as well. Light-hearted watch that doesn’t feel too draggy for its 24 episodes. B
