I need a recommendation for a fun to watch. I am stuck with too many drama-dramas and need something fun. Otherwise, I will end up watching "Falling Into Your Smile" for the eleventh time this year (probably not an exaggeration).

Things I like: characters and their relationships to each other! "Semantic Error" has fun and doesn't take itself too seriously.

Things I'm not interested in: procedurals, horror, gritty violence (but "Alice In Borderland" was good)

@dikgelukkig thank you! I love Mr. Queen and Yumi's Cells, too. I'll add Shopaholic Louis to me list (Stars was already on it. 😁)

@liztai @bertramditore @jillithd I have the sequel in my queue. I have been hooked on BL dramas lately. I just finished My Personal Weatherman. Loved that we learn about them at the same pace they discover more things about each other.

  1. Fandom! Arashi, dramas, maybe fanfiction I don't know.
  2. Women's sports! Okay, mostly the WNBA, but, big picture, I support all of them, including trans athletes 100%.
  3. Language learning! Long-time learner of Japanese, currently diving deep on Mandarin Chinese, considering a future dive into Spanish and/or Korean and/or ?? something else?

The ending of the spin-off of the Japanese anime/manga/ , , was not surprising. They dropped all the hints in S01E01, so watch it carefully.

8 stars!

Disney+ Star decided to get into streaming over a year ago. It was a bit odd as they don’t stream the equivalent for & - which are bigger markets.

They also went for suspense & thriller options such as Vigilante & Big Mouth rather than romance/sageuks.

One series - Moving - has collected major critical acclaim, topping best of 2023 lists globally.

Part SciFi, part thriller, part comic coming of age, it is deeply steeped in metaphors about Korean history & politics.

What I like with OTT -dubs is that they get out of their way to ensure the voice is close to the original actor's voice.

And if there are scenes wherein the character is reading an SMS, a letter, or document, they make sure there are subtitles.

Local dubbing are worst. Here's what they do:

  1. They will cut scenes.
  2. They will use any dubber.
  3. If the character is not LGBT, they'll change it to LGBT. If the character is LGBT, they won't dub it LGBT.
  4. They don't provide subtitles for scenes where there are no dialogues.
  5. Hundreds of TV commercials.
  6. A 60-minute episode in the original becomes a 20-minute episode spread to 3 to 5 days (with lots of cut scenes).

This is why, even though I've watched some of the series already in its original dub (Korean, Chinese, Japanese), I still watch the Tagalog dub of Viu OTT.

Note: Not a paid endorsement. I am simply satisfied with Viu's Tagalog dubs.
