Day 20: Realiity show. A genre I like even less than I like anything spewed out by the Hong Sisters, so I'm going with a variety show that changed reality for my bias.
#SwanClub featured Wang Ji Won as the only one of the core cast who had ballet experience. The episode where she met up again with her senior from the KNB was SO moving. This show started her migration from acting back to ballet. 😍

@cathy @smilematou si vous êtes fan de dramas asiatiques et que vous lisez l'anglais il y a une petite communauté sur le fediverse de personnes fans aussi qui postent leurs réactions/impressions avec les # suivants : #kdrama #cdrama #jdrama #twdrama #thaidrama il suffit de suivre le # concerné pour voir les posts en rapport intégrés dans son fil, même sans suivre les personnes. 😊
@jcurries @drnya91 Yes, Midnight Diner is great. I stick with #jDrama title because there was also a #kDrama remake and, I think, a #cDrama version as well, I've seen neither. The J original featured some REALLY big names in J acting talent as guests, a which added to its appeal to me :)
@ronsboy67 I read good things about #jdrama Midnight Diner (Shinya Shokudo? if I am not mistaken) and already added it to my list to watch. Happy to read another endorsement.

Day 19: Comfort/therapy - a field dominated for me by #jDrama -
#ShinyaShokudo S1-3 (especially s2)
#NekoZamurai S1-2 (SO cute!)
#Alice-sanChiNoIroribata #HannariGiroriNoYorikoSan (a love song to Kyotro)

BUT the clear winner is a #kDrama #OneDayOff
It seems to fit the very definition of what (afaict) Koreans call "healing" - NOTHING happens and it's MAGIC 😍
(Also, imo the English title is better than the original, cf. #Doubt )

I'm currently active on 2 social media channels. This one is nearly ideal technically, but sadly VERY quiet on the topics I engage with. The other is quite flawed and increasingly suffering outages caused by AI-generated code,
BUT it has an active, vibrant community of interesting participants who, like me, watch #cDrama #kDrama and #jDrama
Sadly, here on Mastodon, posting about East Asian Dramas other #kDrama generates an ear-splitting silence. It would be great to bring them together

Day 17: Mystery
So MANY great options here,
#kDrama
#ForestOfSecrets
#Doubt
#TheVillageAchiarasSecret

but my favourite mystery is #jDrama
#OkitegamiKyōkoNoBibōroku - that I've watched 5 times in the last 12 years kinda proves that 😀

A case of the week mystery series, with a sweet slow/no burn romance (and the greenest of green flag MLs) , the REAL mystery of the series is "who is she, and how did she end up as she is? NEVER answered. 😢

Day 15: Favourite time travel Drama

time-travel #cDrama are literally not allowed HEAs, so they're a nope

My fave is the 2017 #twDrama #LoveTimeless I've watched 5 times, 4 times focused ONLY on the arc of the 2nd pair.
Elements of the OTP relationship remained problematic to the end for me, but the Groundhog Day time travel gave real growth to the STP.

Good luck finding it though, so a good runner-up is
