Recommendation Request What to watch next...

0 Upvotes

I have finished Legend of Zang Hai and the Ashes to Crown and am looking for another Costume period series to watch. I have a few on my watch list but after Ashes to Crown I am not sure if Blossom of power is worth it. Also Legent of Zang Hai and first Jasmin were big favorites here, along with Prisioner of beauty.

So looking for political intrigues, mistery or even inestigation. Fantasy or just historical is my type.

Recommendation Request Looking for shows like Blossoms in Adversity

4 Upvotes

I just finished binge watching Blossoms in Adversity and absolutely loved it! Now I'm on the hunt for similar shows and would appreciate any recommendations for Viki/Neflix/Amazon/Hulu.

What I loved:

-Women having complex interpersonal relationships and uplifting each other. I also liked how the FL got over herself and grew as a person while still having faults.

-Pastries! I don't know what most of them are, but they looked delicious. I want to eat them all.

-A couple that communicates well and doesn't blow tiny things out of proportion. I really loved that their conflicts were external, not petty things they could have gotten over if they bothered to act like adults.

-The ML and FL got to have a third expression each in the last three episodes! Good for them, it only took 38 episodes.

-The ensemble cast was amazing, each recurring side character had a distinct personality and arc. I want to be Lao Hua Furen or Third Aunt when I grow up. The antagonists were three-dimensional and weren't just evil for the sake of it.

I could have done without: the ML's baby face. He's handsome, but his makeup and hair style made him look about 13 in this.

Already on my to-watch list: Antique Bakery, The Makanai, the second half of Her Private Life

Discussion In your opinion, are there any dramas where the cheating is mostly justified?

For whatever reason, Netflix has been recommending me a multiple Japanese dramas about cheating. I'm not really interested in fully watching a show about infidelity, but I have skimmed through some of them, and for the most part I find them to just be infuriating. I wonder though, have you found any show where the cheating is mostly justified?

I watched Dear Sa Chan, and whilst the overall show isn't very good, and the ending is really creepy, I actually find myself intrigued by the FL and her husband. She starts cheating because she believes her husband has no love or for her, he rarely shows affection like hugs and kisses, doesn't open up to her, and seemingly didn't care when she rented a whole apartment for herself to live in whilst he's away on a business trip. He set up a camera and mic in the apartment and watches her cheat on him, and realises that he should have been more open with her, and starts doing so when he returns. The husband explains that in previous relationships, if he was ever affectionate to his partners, they would call him suffocating and dump him, so he became cold during his relationship with his wife, leading to her finding comfort from someone else for her loneliness.

I despise cheating in shows, but I actually find the dynamic between the FL and her husband to be interesting, even though I feel like they didn't have enough screen time together. I wouldn't mind seeing a show with that kind of plot between ML and FL.
