Yes, both rom-coms! The book could also be fantasy, but it's more romance. As for the drama, I either watch it on dramacool or kissasian. Right now, I'm using kissasian . cam :D

I'm currently watching a kdrama too on Amazon Prime, it's Newtopia, but since it's with zombies I won't really go into details, it's a sort of comedy too though, horror comedy. :mrgreen:

I used to watch a lot of kdramas but with college finished and now the website and my animation project I haven't had a lot of time to watch anything else, although I have a watchlist increasing in My Drama List by the week :problem:

I think You can go into bit more detail. I mean warm bodies was pg-13 and it was about zombies, so it's all about how You frame it, so You don't break your own rules ;)

Oh the post uni slump, suddenly the 24h is actually short! :lol:

The kdrama finished today, so I just finished watching it. :think:
I actually enjoyed it a lot. /houra// The difference with warm bodies is that it wasn't very gory, but Newtopia is. It's very "dumb" on the human characters, dumber than warm bodies but the zombies were ruthless and very visual, to the point newtopia is actually +18 just for how visual it is, despite it being a comedy 60% of the time. One of the soldiers get their eye pierced and it lands on the female lead so... uh, yeah they showed it all :lol: :lol: :thumbsup:

Not my favorite kdrama, I'm usually into the serious ones and supernatural/sci-fi/fantasy type. But it was still good, I'll give it 6.5/10. :)

We need to adapt "Warm Bodies" as a reference point to judge/discuss zombie movies/series, cause it worked pretty well :lol:
And absolutely thanks for the review! It told me, that it's not for me - dumb characters are an instant "no" (litterally the reason I couldn't get through Fallout series).

So, which title from your list You're going to watch now?

When it comes to k-dramas, yes. A bit of drama, a bit of rom-com. My favourite is Romance is a Bonus Book, it mixes romance and books (working at a publishing house), which is something I love. Overall, I love k-dramas because they're all so different from what's produced in my country or the USA, for example. They touch on so many different themes, realities, and jobs and everything. :D

Oh, so kinda like "Booshops and Bonedust" though this one is also fantasy :D
Yeah, k-dramas, no matter the in-genre do have different sensibilites from US and European productions for sure... And I'd say, even the grusome ones, are bit more warm. Though the characters also can be too unrealistic in their own unique way...
