#d: scarlet heart ryeo

[gizkasparadise]

What's the show/s that got you into kdramas, cdramas? :) What are the shows you like to rewatch the most of? {I've found your posts to be straight up gems and I love them (well, except re TTEOTM, I do disagree somewhat on that xP esp ending. Not to mention the PPTs - I literally send those out to people I'm trying to rec the drama to xD; oh and you did the final nail in the coffin for me to watch Happiness and I LOVE IT; next up on my list thanks to you is Love and Redemption). Keep it up!! <3}

awww thank you!! LOL and no worries re: TTEOTM, different strokes for different folks and it's def not a perfect drama. in my defense, though, that ppt was made before the ending aired :'D

my first drama was moon lovers: scarlet heart ryeo, which is a drama that is extra as fuck, with a male lead who is extra and edgey as fuck, and it was a fun and wild ride. i got into it basically because gifs of lee joon ki with a tuxedo mask kept showing up on my dash and i was like ok time to join this party. and, well, here we are :'D im primarily attracted to how self-contained the stories of asian dramas are -- rarely are there sequels or franchises, and you get the whole thing knowing there's a planned ending. plus, good god. all the tropes. i love tropes.

i would say these are the dramas i've rewatched the most (disclaimer: i typically do selective rewatches, meaning just my favorite scenes lol)

someday or one day (taiwanese drama) has excellent rewatch value because of all the easter eggs and foreshadowing hints

wait my youth and le coup de foudre (cdramas) as well as extraordinary you and one spring night (kdramas) are chill comfort watches

love and redemption (cdrama) is a favorite and i love rewatching certain scenes because it just hits all the narrative tropes i love. im selectively rewatching empress ki and enjoying that as well as far as epic dramas go

i watch the bookends of goodbye my princess (basically first 10 and last 10 eps) when i just want something to punch me in the throat, emotionally

Scarlet Heart Ryeo BTS style

OK so hear me out

Think about it

[weishenbwi]

A semi-detailed account of how I’m feeling Agust D '대취타' MV:

1st few seconds and I already love it. 

Also Yoongi simultaneously pleased the Dom and sub enthusiasts. Nicely done.

The rain in the beginning reminds me of Scarlet Heart Ryeo (THAT scene)

The way he included a wet market... (fitting of the time period but also an F U to the foreigners who have been continuously racist against ALL Asian persons)

I NEED the instrumental version

The decapitated heads though

When the car shows up and NO ONE is phased 😂

2:45.... just... 2:45

“Remember my name...” Literally no one will ever forget Min Yoongi 🔥

Can I also point out the VERY visible scar the king has? 

THE SYMBOLISM

He Indiana Jones-D it.

[eurydsea]

me, @ myself: stop watching dramas that make you sad and depressed

also me:

[gizkasparadise]

List of dramas where the large age gaps (regardless of gender) didn’t deter the chemistry or ruin the drama for you, including noona romances where the age gap IS the plot

And dramas where they didn’t. I ask because I have been recommended the Turkish drama Aziz and I’m hesitant because the age gap between the two bothers me too much. Of course it is just my opinion and no one else’s and I could be wrong about it but it posed a major hindrance to me

sure! here's some that come to mind--not taking into account actual actor ages because i am too lazy to look them up :'D

Female Lead is the Older One aka Noona Romances

empress ki. QUEEN SHIT. she's older & more experienced in life than her ultimate love interest (#spoilers) and the chemistry is A++++

find yourself was a fun if average drama, but the chemistry between the leads was A+

the glory okay there's not a ton of shippiness yet, but i'm 100% sold on the potential of them in the first half

someday or one day is kind of screwy, since it's about time travelers, so who's the oldest switches around quite a bit. alice ke i think is more than 5 years older than her love interest though

eternal love: ten miles of peach blossoms. the female lead i think is like. 10s of thousands of years older than her final love interest; visually they look around the same age though #immortals

my fated boy bored me and i ended up dropping it, but the chemistry iirc was fine and the show operates on the noona romance trope

--

Male Lead is the Older One

the rise of phoenixes im actually not sure how old the characters are supposed to be, but there's a sizable age gap IRL between them. the chemistry is RIDICULOUS

love between fairy and devil sort of counts? visually, they're around the same age, but the male lead has 1000s of years on the female lead in-story #immortals

because this is my first life has two couples where there's an age gap and they're both pretty great

moon lovers: scarlet heart ryeo is an entertaining rollercoaster mess of a drama, and the leads have great chemistry

my liberation notes this one isn't as straight up romantic as the other dramas listed, but there's about a 10 year gap between the leads and they work really well together

when a man falls in love. this drama is not universally liked (in fact, most people hate it but THEYRE WRONG), but it basically operates on the age gap/power gap trope and is a dysfunctional ride full of morally grey characters. i loved it, but i love mess so take that as you will

--

edit: OOPS, sorry, missed the second part of the ask. dramas where the chemistry/age gap didnt work for me:

romance is a bonus book. i didnt vibe with the main couple and i think the ML had some big maturity problems as of where i left off. also i never mentally got over the fact that she was divorced A FULL ASS YEAR and he didnt know????

cheese in the trap. i liked this drama but the ML just felt way, way older than everyone around him so it’d be a little off when he’d get involved in the petty campus antics

mr sunshine. i didnt feel it between eugene and ae sin. at all. literally any of her other love interests would have been preferred

Wang So was a total babe, but Wang Yo was my D A D D Y. Stabby. Daddy. Lookin’ like a whole ass buffet.

Even though he beheaded me in a dream.✌🏻
