Asian Shows And Movies I've Watched Lately

It's weird to write about these shows as if I'd watched them lately cuz, it's been a couple of months since I actually watched them but, it was still this year, it just takes me forever to share them around here. And I still have a long list of movies and shows to share, hehe.

Anyway, today I want to share some some Japanese, Korean and Thai shows and movies I really liked.

Turn to me Mukai-kun

"Though handsome and successful, Satoru Mukai suddenly realizes he's been single for ten whole years and has no idea how to initiate a new relationship."

I randomly chose this drama cuz I was going through a phase in which I only felt like watching Japanese drama and I ended up really liking it. It is a mix of drama, comedy and romance but, I loved the way they showed how different people feel about relationships and what they think it right for them even if it's not the stereotypical relationship.

It is a short drama with only 10 episodes, I think I watched it in like a week. 

Destiny

"Kanade Nishimura must confront the suspicious death case from her law school days. This leads her to examine the truth behind her father's death."

Honestly, at first I thought I wouldn't like this one because it was "law" related but, I was wrong. It's a very good drama. It's definitey darker than the previous one, it's a bit of a thriller with mystery and romance. It really makes you want to watch more after every episode to find out more about the story. I wouldn't say it's my kind of drama but I'd defo recommend it. Plus, it's super short, it only has 9 episodes.

Asura

"Four sisters face turbulence when their father's affair is exposed. Embodying the tumultuous asura demigods, they clash over differing outlooks on love."

I have to say, out of the 3 Japanese dramas I'm sharing here, this one was my favorite. First, I loved the setting of the story, second they way they showed each characters' individual stories and how they all connected and lastly, the way they showed the relationship between all the family members, I think it was a very real way to show it.

This was very short too, with only 7 episodes. I have mixed feelings with short shows, I like finishing them but, then I wish they'd last longer. I feel like they way it ended is open to have a second season, but I don't know if it'll happen. I hope so.

Those are all the Japanese dramas, you can find them on Netflix.

Beauty Water

"Ye-ji comes across mysterious water that enables her to lose weight and reshape her appearance. She finds her life is more in danger the more she desires to be beautiful."

This Korean horror animated movie was my sister's recommendation. It reminds me of The Substance so much. I think it's my first Korean animated thriller and, it was defo worth it, highly recommend it. Apparently it's on Crunchyroll but I couldn't find it there back when I watched it.

Don't Come Home

"A mother and her young daughter flee to their family's abandoned mansion but soon find themselves haunted by paranormal incidents."

This is a 6 episodes long Thai show that is a mix of a thriller with mystery and sci-fi. It started off really good but it kinda lost me at some point. I'm not a big sci-fi fan so the last few episodes were a little confusing and I lost interest. It's not a bad show tho, it was just not my favorite.

Morimoto's Sushi Master Season 2

I think I mentioned this cooking competition before, back when I watched the first season. Same as with the previous one, I started binge watching as soon as it premiered. It was short tho, it only has 6 episodes but, I love it. It always makes me crave some good Japanese food.

And that will be it for this post guys, there are still many more shows and especially movies I've watched (mostly horror) that are waiting to be shared around here. Maybe I'll share some of them next month. For now, let me know if you've watched one of these or, if you'd like to. Also feel free to send me recommendations!!

See you next time~! 💋
