The Autumn Watchlist
1. Melting Me Softly (starts September 28) | teaser
My feelings about this drama kept constantly changing in the past months. At first, I had been excited about the collab between Ji Chang Wook (HEALER FOREVER!), the SWDBS writer and the Secret Garden PD. Then, they announced Won Jin Ah to be the female lead and my excitement dropped by a notch because I belonged to those who weren’t impressed by her performance in Just Between Lovers and even the first teasers left me with mixed feelings. However, a few days ago the long trailer dropped and I’m fully on board and halfway in love with the show. It has the trademark writing of Baek Mi Young, JCW is epic as ever and WJA seems to hold her own against him and furthermore, they both share amazing chemistry and have a huge potential as the two people who get together stuck/frozen together in time while the whole world passes them by, only to wake up and realize that 20 years have gone by. They have not only to face the same challenges of dealing with the consequences but also their own physical condition as they must maintain a core body temperature of 31.5 degrees Celsius which in the era of global warming might not be the easiest thing to do, plus I can think of several physical activities when...
2. The Tale of Nokdu (starts September 30) | teaser 01, teaser 02, teaser 03
There is nothing new about a crossdressing kdrama, not even a sageuk one, but a man, and one of the best swordmen in Joseon to boot, doing the undercover crossdressing is something completely special. Moreover, he even poses as a widow and has all the men swooning over him and wooing him. With Joseon Marriage Agency being such a huge letdown for me, I have high hopes for this one. One of the writers is responsible for Love in the Moonlight and I think The Tale of Nokdu might maintain the magic which LitM lost the moment it got lost in the political mess. I like KSH very much and Jang Dong Yoon looks like he is having the time of his life playing the crossdressing nobleman.
3. Extraordinary You (starts October 2) | teaser
A high-school student from a wealthy family who suffers from a lifelong heart condition that inevitably means she will not live past her teenage years suddenly realizes that she is a character in a Korean webtoon and all of her actions are predetermined by the artist who draws her. If her luck weren’t bad enough she also discovers she is only a supporting character so she decides to change her own plotline. This might end up being either slapstick awesome with all the possibility for kdrama references and making fun of all the clichés or utter mess. I hope for the first.
4. My Country (starts October 4) | teaser
What can I say? It looks like my dream sageuk - gritty, complex, dark and absolutely visually stunning plus it boasts some stellar cast. Also I don’t know how but for some reasons the drama is giving me Slave Hunter vibes - maybe because of the slave element, overall grittiness and JH being all intense and the main lead’s look reminding me a little bit of JH’s character in Slave Hunters.
5. TharnType The Series (starts October 7) | teaser 01, teaser 02
I can’t even describe how much I’m excited for this one. Type, the dark, tall and handsome freshman is homophobic because he was molested by a man as a child. His life turns up side down when the new year of college brings along a very interesting person in his life, a gay roommate, Tharn. Tharn, is a very handsome music major with fair skin and mixed features who is openly gay. Type is a minor character who had a minor role in another favourite Thai BL drama of mine, Love by Chance. At first, I was disappointed they didn’t cast the original actor; however, I have to say I have never been more happy to be proven wrong because the actors playing Type and Tharn have without a doubt the most awesome chemistry between all the couples in the upcoming BL Thai shows, only comparable with Pete and Kao.
6. Dark Blue Kiss (starts October 12) | teaser
PETE AND KAO!!! I’ve been waiting for this drama for a year now! To be honest, I don’t really care for the secondary couple I just want to watch Pete and Kao being utterly perfect for each other.
7. Ore no Hanashi wa Nagai (starts October 12) | teaser
It’s been ages since I enjoyed a jdrama and I hope Ikuta Toma changes it as the failed 31 year-old NEET living with his mother.
8. HIStory3: Make Our Days Count (starts October 16) | teaser
Another installment of the successful HIStory franchise. Crossing Boundary is with Together With Me my favourite BL drama of all time and I can’t wait for the movie. On the other hand, Trapped was a mild disappointment for me because somewhere in the middle the writer gave up any pretense that there was actually any plot and the only reason I kept watching until the end was the OTP. Make Our Days Count is a BL high school love story between two polar opposites - the bookish Yu Xi Gu who prefers to keep a low profile and focus on his schoolwork and the outgoing, hot-headed extravert and some-time bully Xiang Hao Ting. I’m not even ashamed to admit I love these kind of stories.
9. Motokare Mania (starts October 17)
If it’s been ages since I enjoyed a jdrama, it’s been an eternity since I liked a jdrama rom-com - not since Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto and From Nine to Five. I don’t really expect Motokare Mania to change that but a girl can still hope.
10. Emergency Lands of Love (starts November 23 December 7 14)
Hyun Bin + Son Ye Jin + a romance between a stranded SK heiress and NK military officer + the YWCFAS writer = I’m on board.
11. Until We Meet Again The Series (starts November 9) | teaser
A reincarnation BL love story between two lovers with tragic past who end up being reborn and get the chance to be together.

jdorama 2019 autumn
As we head into the last drama season of the year, ratings have been heavily influenced by several concurrent events - the rugby World Cup, baseball and the emperor's enthronement. Several dramas are suspected to have taken a hit right at their debut, and it looks like it'll take a couple of weeks for the waters to clear.
Entirely as expected, Doctor X (season 6) went straight to the top of the average ratings for the entire year with a current average of 19.65%. I'm not going to say much about this drama apart from that it's the same old formula, featuring the same old fights between the unrealistic heroine and the equally unrealistic power/money-hungry villains. What's more impressive than the longevity of the series is how cringeworthy it actually is.
Grand Maison Tokyo (rating: 12.4%)
Stars: Kimura Takuya, Sawamura Ikki, Suzuki Kyoka
As soon as the synopsis came out, there were accusations of plagiarising from Bradley Cooper's Burnt. Though I've only read the Wikipedia summary of that movie, happily the drama seems to be an entirely different story. Obana Natsuki is a talented French cuisine chef who lost his Michelin restaurant 3 years ago when a VIP guest collapses from ingesting an allergen that contaminated the food.
I don't know if it's intentional, but Kimura's portrayal of Obana reminds me of RDJ's portrayal of Tony Stark, without the sass. Essentially Obana is a genius in his field who inspires both admiration and exasperation in his acquaintances. His previous arrogance and brutal honesty has made his former colleagues wary of him, but he's really just a tsundere ossan who doesn't feel comfortable letting his soft side show.
As usual, Kimura is surrounded by some excellent cast members (I think this must be the most earnest role I've seen Sawamura play), and so far the script is tight and well-paced, with a promise of complexity. It's definitely a much better venture than some of the other stuff Kimura has done recently.
Ore no hanashi wa nagai | My story is long (rating: 8.4%)
Stars: Ikuta Toma, Koike Eiko
It's a little like GiboMusu, in that the premise sounded boring but the script and the acting make it a humorous enjoyable skit for the whole family. 31 year old Keshibe Mitsuru has been a NEET since his cafe went bankrupt a few years ago. He lives with (off?) his mother, and seems to have no plans to look for work.
Unlike most NEETs we've seen in dramas, Mitsuru is oddly...normal and likeable. While he seems to enjoy bickering over the smallest things, he's not lazy or unrealistic or socially challenged. He interacts with his family with a sensitivity that his bossy sister doesn't have. So far, all of this makes it hard to fathom why he's not finding work, so I hope it's explained well later. The interactions between the family members are cute and heartfelt, and I hope it finds a way to round itself out into a good story. It's so nice to see Toma on TV again.
Mada kekkon-dekinai otoko | The man who still can't get married (rating: 11.5%)
Stars: Abe Hiroshi, Yoshida Yo
Kekkon-dekinai otoko is a drama I've never watched but which apparently has a cult status amongst drama fans. Abe Hiroshi is back as a 50+ year old architectural engineer. It's not clear that he wants to get married, apart from the fact that he is interested by romance as something that he doesn't quite understand but everyone seems to gush over. He's like a Windows user who thinks about getting a Mac just to see what the hype is about, without being sure he really wants or cares about it, but just on the off-chance it might wow him.
It's cute and humorous in a very old-school sort of way, but not really something I could relate to or quite understand. I will probably keep watching because I do like seeing Abe Hiroshi playing off against Yoshida Yo. It would be nice to see if it passes the Bechdel's test because even though the two female protagonists hang out frequently, they've mostly been focused on talking about a male ex-partner or the main character.
