Day 20: A drama that made you sad or cry. #EYDC2025

#jDrama #cDrama #kDrama #twDrama

Lots of tears this year but two #jDramas share the honours:

First
After School Doctor for the raw emotional power of children acting out seriousl health issues meant my lacrimal glands were dry by the end of the show. Plenty of punch in this year's SP too

Honourable mention Asadora Anpan for the cutting short of a very soft, sweet, slow-burn romance as the intro to the misery of the war years eps

The original #JDrama Kimi Wa Petto is pretty much the archetypal specimen of what makes #JDramas unique.

It lost its nerve a bit at the end by opting for a more conventional relationship, but remains a great example of the quirky offbeat Japanese sensibility that doesn't fly in a #KDrama - which is why I have not watched (and will not watch) the #KDrama remake of this true J classic

@liztai Wow! You have history 😄 I fell down the rabbit hole during the corona pandemic so that would be about 2020? I had become disenchanted with western series on American streaming services and was looking for something different…

#Kdrama doesn’t quite work for me because of my adoption hang up, which has more to do with me than with the quality of the dramas, I think.

I like some #Jdramas, too, but mainly like #Cdrama.

No logic, really 😃
