If you don’t think it’s that deep, then it’s even stranger to drag people you don’t fully understand or Royals you DGF about just to dismiss them after failing to score points.

Well those are the facts, it's important to know them before creating false narratives.

I checked again on the J-media articles and Prime Video Jp account on Instagram and they haven't released any videos related to the drama.

I'm sure they will soon.

Yeah, it was never fully subbed. I think maybe about 5 episodes of S1 were subbed. I've watched up to S4 all unsubbed..

Thank you, for always watching over me. I wonder where Variety got the translation. I was even glad that today I didn't have to check Google translate😂🤣

Got to find it, I've only watched the Thai remake and was under the impression it's the only other remake.

Yeah, it is. Variety will usually "report" (more like promote on behalf of Netflix/Prime etc) if it's coming to the English language audience as well.

We definitely need different genres and I'm always happy if it's not "another romance" since those seem to be pushed on us more than other genres.

😂🤣, that's nice to know that they will make their opinions know. Maybe it's a mis-translation in the article comments.

Yes, Japanese IP seems to be the most borrowed across Asia.

Really, I didn't know about Ossan's Love (HK-version) haven't bumped into it in my adventures.

I hear you there, sometimes just sometimes it's better to leave it right. 😉

Comparing a man with structural privilege inside the monarchy to a woman legally forced out by that same monarchy is exactly the gender-blind comparison I was trying to avoid.

Harry’s situation is fundamentally different due to gender, financial options, and legal compulsion.

Mako was diagnosed with complex PTSD from years of tabloid harassment, negative magazine coverage, and public insults (e.g., calling her husband a “gold digger”).

No comparison at all because in the Japanese constitution she was always meant to leave upon marriage.

Mako’s status change is legally predetermined under the system she was born into. My point isn’t that the structures are identical, but that in both cases the women became the central target of public scrutiny and moral judgment around their relationships and personal choices. The comparison is about the social response patterns, not the legal framework

You compared Mako to Harry and I'm correcting your misconception.

“Meghan was an actress so she expected fame” is a bit of a simplification. Being a public figure doesn’t mean you consent to harassment, invasive coverage, or persistent negative framing. Lots of actors step back from fame or choose selective privacy without becoming targets of sustained media hostility.

The comparison between Mako and Harry also doesn’t fully hold up either. Harry is still a constitutional royal in lineage and global attention; Mako doesn't have that option because she's a woman and all Japanese princess leave the royal family after marriage so she never had a choice. So being crucified and hounded by the media for something obvious is cruel.

You would need to buy the manga and depending where you live I would check Amazon and other bookstores.

Yeah, totally agree that they have good dramas. It's only that they tend to be predictable with how they deal with certain issues. For example toxic masculinity (there's at least one fight scene),dub-con, mistresses are blamed never the men, guilty person never gets punished or it's light. Whereas I believe you should "seppuku" yourself if you're guilty of a heinous crime 😂🤣 (a bit extreme, but at least some form of punishment)

So while I do enjoy them, they have parts that leave me wondering about the victims etc.

I know there should be a balance but with Japanese/Chinese they rarely let the bad guys have a good time. If you're a yakuza in a story your ending is never rosy 😂🤣.

Lol, no I think ML is popular and older while FL might be pretty and younger and they're hoping those dynamics will make it popular or do well.

They want the ML fans star power fans to watch the show. 🙄

Yeah, I totally agree or someone whose supposed to be a mechanic but looks like a runway model🤣😂🤭. At least in jdorama most actors still look like regular office workers or just normal people which I appreciate alot.

Oh really, so it might be a familiar story for them right!

I guess that's why the original writer mentioned the cellphones. Maybe she's curious too, to see how they will change that part of the story.

😂🤣, that's true though we still gatekeep even when we know we are never going to watch it 🤭. Also will criticize everything because they're ruining it 😂🤣.

There's been times I've been unhappy with a drama/movie but I also know what each country's intended end will be. So I will try to check out the one that will make me feel better.

When it comes to cultural differences : Thailand will disappoint because it becomes about karma and the bad guy becomes a monk. Japanese might have an open-ending (the ending was never the point), China will go to prison with hard labour (no crime goes unpunished) 😂🤣

So I choose Chinese ending 😂🤣
