I understand, though the episode duration aren't as bad as some of HBO series (1 1/2 hour per episodes at time).
Then again, with the current state of the anime industry (trash they keep releasing), I have more time on other stuff. Such as catching up on some old historical series such as Yongzheng Dynasty, Jumong and The Kingdom of the Winds.

I should, I've watched about a dozen or more. And looking for one to catch my interest.

Best K-Drama I've watched so far is Cheese in the trap without a doubt.

I made one (Major) to satisfy the occasional romance fix. But my time in that medium fizzled quick, as most of them are cheesy af or way too long. The music in anime beats those dramas six ways to Sunday too, usually. I haven't seen the historical stuff though and I suspect that genre is leagues better. Imo the MDR platform sucks compared to MAL, and I got bored with the forums because there's so little activity and males are practically non-existent.

At-least Harakiri 1962 is among the top rated movies, most of Akira kuroasawa films should be 8.5+
MAL ratings themselves are silly (Gintama ahead of LOGH/Monster_.

Kill Me, Heal Me. Don't watch it.

Yeah, the charts are pretty bad for the most part (Signal is an exception, thank goodness). Overhyped cliched romances like the two I mentioned tend to be highly rated for some reason. Unfortunately, I still fall for the hype sometimes, then regret it later..

There are plenty of other sites for rating movies, so I only use MDL for dramas.

Agree with you about everything. Although I admit I'm such a sucker for cheesy stuff, it's my weak point x_x

Also since you guys mentioned Signal @TheMaster100 @SchnickelFritz @Rxargyros I think I watched the first (and second? can't recall) Episode and the problem for me is
Will probably still watch the series some time later as I liked it otherwise, but granted it's an important aspect of the show.. kinda disappointing

I had one years ago. I got busy and put the KDramas that I was going to watch on hold. Went to check on the account, a few years later, and apparently it had been scrubbed. I might set one up again, but I can't remember most of the shows and movies I have seen. Sigh. But might be time to rebuild, thanks for the motivation OP!

That's one I'd been keeping my eye on, but was on the fence about.. I wondered how faithful it would be to the original story (not that I've read it yet..). I'll add it to my plan to watch list on your recommendation, though.

I was introduced to RotTK via Koei's excellent strategy game series many years ago. I actually began reading Mitsuteru Yokoyama's manga adaptation recently, and I plan to tackle the book itself eventually. Intriguing stuff.

Bollywood crime drama/Romance/Historical/Comedic and East Asian period drama/historical drama series are my favourite. Not many good Western period drama (other than Deadwood, Blackadder and Rome for example.
When it comes to modern drama, I look for HBO/AMC/BBC to be honest. Italian series have also been good in the last couple of years such as Gomorrah (excellent crime drama series)).

I've read some of Ravages of Time but i have already seen Three Kingdom 2010 Twice :P
Jiang Hu fansubs are fantastic, you can find them on youtube via two channels (THXer and Williamto Halim). 95 episodes of greatness, it has omitted some scenes (Starts after the yellow turban rebellion for example) and elaborated/added other scenes. Very faithful.

Warning, watching this might cause you not to like most other period drama series, so far the only Eastern Asian series I'd gladly give it a 10/10 rating.

Well you could try watching some of the modern one from South Korea. There are plots in modern K-dramas that you can't find in European series. I mean it's no wonder why Europe and America has been wanting to remake K-dramas. Were you aware ITV from the UK has announced a remake of the K-drama, Who are you?

Also as I said, which European dramas can you find which has plot like these:







Regarding these K-dramas I mention above, they carried plot/storyline that you can't find in any European dramas. I wouldn't be surprised if Europe want to remake/adapt these into localized format. You said you watch Italian drama, right? Were you aware that Ice Adonis/Yellow Boots got an Italian remake? So would you watch these modern K-drama if I told you they were getting European remake?

I saw those last two and honestly, thought DotS was outrageously overrated. The Ost was better than everything in it put together. Healer too, although not nearly to the same degree. I liked Oh Gwang Rok, Kim Mi Kyung, and Jeong Gyoo Soo - good performances.

What do you guys recommend that's short, around 10-16 eps?
