The oldest entry on IndieWire's list of the best teen dramas was first broadcast in 1979, but the majority of shows that made the cut are from after 2000, when there was a huge boom in the genre. Here's the magazine's ranking of 42 shows. Which do you think came in at No. 1? Take a look at the list after you've voted and tell us if you think they got it right.
The rating of #Netflix 's #GoodByeEarth continues to plummet in TMDB, IMDB, Trakt, MyDramaList, thanks to the unrelated English title, & incorrect marketing.
They should've translated the Japanese/Korean titles instead, which set the correct expectations.
The English title #GoodbyeEarth sets it as #scifi , they should've simply translated it as “The End's Fool” or “An Apocalyptic Fool”; that's the title in Korean #종말의바보 & the original Japanese novel #伊坂幸太郎 . It's a life #drama .
What makes it crazier, in the two official posters from Netflix, they transliterated the original Japanese novel, as if their “English” audience will understand it. They should've transliterated the Korean title instead of using “Goodbye Earth”; since transliteration is fine by them.
Unlike TV or the movies, I've never had color liquid in a test tube or beaker in my lab, despite the fact that I've worked in a geochemistry lab for 30 years. 🧪
One of my favourite #BookBloggers is Rachel at THE PERSPICACIOUS BOOKWORM. If you aren’t already following her #blog, I suggest you rectify that oversight so you can read insightful, well written #BookReviews across a multitude of genres, as well as author interviews and other bookish content. @bookstodon
I'm very impressed with the #Filipino adaptation of #김비서가왜그럴까 / #WhatsWrongWithSecretaryKim. Modern production style, not the old Filipino style. No overused special effects. Fun comedy too!
Feedback 1: No reason to copy the Korean pinky swear. The thumb step is a Korean culture to seal agreements. But it's fine. A good nod to the original. ^_^
Feedback 2: Seatbelts, even for passengers on the back. Shows are a good opportunity to instil the importance of seatbelts in the people's mind.
I was surprised to see a real #Filipino actor (and kid) & a fluent translator in S01E15 of #DoctorSlump#닥터슬럼프. It's rare in #Kdrama, usually they use non-Filipino actors and make them memorise Tagalog sentences.
But it was not her show and not her story. She's as good as a support role only, or for comedic purposes.
If you haven't watched this, you'll in for a serious #drama, bordering #melodrama. It was an adaptation of a Korean #manhwa by Cheon Kye Young (천계영).
Good story, good #TV series. The format and flow is just something I'm not used to: full on comedy, and halfway through, a sudden switch to melodrama and mystery. It was like they tried to mix various methods in storytelling and genres.
If you only want to watch because of IU, there are other better shows, like #HotelDelLuna (#호텔델루나) which was made for her. (With a bonus “fashion show” at that, rivalling #LucyLiu's fashion in #Elementary.)
I totally did not expect that ending in #QuantumLeap Season 02 finale. I sure hope there will be a Season 03, I want to know how they're going to handle it.
someone on a Japanese hacker forum decided it was a good idea to spam the entire Fediverse because they wanted to cancel a minor that DDoSed a Discord bot which apparently made them lost millions (what?)
A Discord bot. I can't make this shit up man.
The real culprit seems to be someone who goes by mumei in the ctkpaarr.org forums, whose first post was literally a threat to ap12, that if they don't delete their "Kuroneko Server" Discord bot, they will spam every blog, forum and SNS and cancel him.
This shit is ridiculous.
The ap12 account from mastodon-japan was actually fake, and this dude impersonated a minor to get all of the Fediverse (us) to bully him.
Whenever characters have time for a long dramatic conversation while in the midst of a gun fight, I tell myself they activated some sort of time freeze around them. :p
A similar scenario is when there is an urgency to flee and someone chose to stay behind at the last second. At least one character will refuse to leave, and they'll spend a few minutes arguing and stopping that character.
Yep, time froze. Or maybe, the enemy figured out:
"Everyone stop! Let's give them some time to talk."
Haha. It's my personal version of #SuspensionOfDisbelief that works across time / regardless if it's fantasy/historic or scifi/futuristic.
