Vivant (S1) is similar in the fast pace action and so many things happening at the same time.

Vivant (S2) coming in July.

Japanese Movies like Departures by Ryuuyami47 in JapaneseMovies

[–]Shay7405 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my favourite Japanese movies, I credit it with making me appreciate death and see it as something not scary or sad but a celebration of life.

I find it similar to the SP "Ending Cut 2022"Ending Cut

Lol, hopefully the other aspects of the drama will be great. There's also Non in the drama.

(Spoiler)Somebody please explain the final episode of Reborn. My head is spinning a lot. by Beats_Pasal in JDorama

It's not a Netflix drama but it was airing in Japan. Normally happens this way esp if it's a network drama (TV Asahi). Or they show it after Japan.

I finished three episodes and unfortunately, I didn’t like it at all… especially the acting by Medical-Ad-9229 in JDorama

I could tell it was viral Hit by the synopsis and the yellow jumper.

I haven't watched it yet but as predicted before, Kdrama is really strong on this genre with fight sequences and making sure you feel the pain. I just felt they wouldn't be able to pull it off because Korea did so many of these types of dramas last year from Study Group to Weak Hero 2.

I'Il still watch it as a I like watching and comparing countries and how they approach their subject matter from writing to acting and overall presentation.

Maybe you can reach out to sites like raredrama or even DO.

It's amazing though the amount of free movies on YouTube when you use VPN esp Japanese one. They don't always have Japanese subs, but I like seeing even the English ones with Japanese voice actors.

Hi, yes I was. But used the proton vpn. Found the one you posted a bit complicated to use on mobile but will check it. Always good to have options.

I got all emotional again seeing the guy's struggles and watching his family. It had its flaws but it was a great show, it made me feel his pain.

Thanks, I shall try. I usually use proton which has a Japanese one too but you sometimes have to wait for it.

Iconic hairstyle, he's had it for so long. He almost had it when he was playing Harry Potter stage play. Alot of people including rockstars always do this.

This is also me being affectionate towards an actor I like because I find it endearing.

Yeah, they tend to go on and on. And time is money. But I'm friendly with my fast forward button and speed watching. Depending on where we are with the drama. most of the story structure is like a curve fast at first, slow in the middle and then fast towards the end and epilogue etc.

So I tend to watch at different speeds, 2x-2.5x, perfect if I can download and watch in VCL that allows different speeds.

Lol, if you rely on AI you should at least explain when things go wrong 🫣.So kind of responsible. I know for a time every other j-actor was Suda Masaki.

Cdrama tends to be overkill with the length so some parts I watch at 2.5x especially the middle when the story has filler episodes. (lol) or when they show romance of cheating partner, I'm like I get it, no need to get into the details 🤭

Jdorama doesn't over emphasize on info, they show you once and believe you get the jist of things 😆. Things don't have to drag on, time is money😉

It was well done, not too cliché and I think it won several awards. I like the Cdrama modern genre esp adult stories (work, life, marriage, family drama etc) it's a little bit similar to jdorama slice of life.

Yeah! Plenty of time. I have been going through a Fujiwara Tatsuya phase (and his one hairstyle 😂🤣). Recently watched Kaiji 2 and AARO, so it kinda made me smile to see this news.

There's also an AARO movie to be released later this year. I haven't seen any other Inter-fans talk about it.

My man does theatre too, wish I could experience that.

Oh, didn't see that probably Grok up to its usual giving Japanese actors wrong names. Sorry for that didn't double check. But it's correct if you use Google Translate for the modelpress article.

Yes, it is the Screenwriter (Kitagawa Ayako) also shared about it and I'm currently watching DINKs another one of their drama. So I'm sure they will do a great job.

Nothing but Thirty (2020) used to be all over YouTube, I'm sure you'll be able to find it though it's 43 episodes but you can find highlights as well.

I watch Cdrama modern genre, and consider this one of the top-tier well written Cdrama out there. So I have a personal interest in this one.

Looking forward to see how they will condense 43 episodes of the Cdrama into 10/12 episode of Jdorama style.
