Day 13: Drama I found boring.

There were definitely several that fizzled out after the 1/2way point but the one that was horrid from the start was #SweetHome season 2!! I only kept at it because I watched it with @whoosh and apparently, misery loves company! There were only 8 shows and they were the longest shows I've watched. I just kept it on as background noise in the final half, in case 1 of the 3 interesting characters showed up.

There are fabulous horror shows, including #Happiness, #SweetHome, and #GyeongseongCreatures (which I haven't yet seen but it's very popular).
Fantasy includes #TaleOfTheNineTailed
Also, a lot of amazing historical fiction, but it's Korean history, which is not so familiar to me. Many different ages of history are represented.
Oh, and romantic comedy!! SO many, and almost always with the #FemaleGaze! I never really knew that male beauty was a thing but I sure do now!

Just in time for #Halloween / #Spooktober, @rainwarrior just did a complete translation of the #SweetHome manual, a classic #SurvivalHorror #NES / #Famicom #JRPG that was originally only released in Japan. It has two fan translations, both with their merits (but the first one has a translation quirk that makes a puzzle very difficult to understand).

Sweet Home is mostly famous as being the original inspiration for #ResidentEvil, which was originally supposed to be a Sweet Home remake or sequel.

Go read @rainwarrior's manual translation! It makes the game more fun to follow along.

Sweet Home - Season 1
(2020 - Netflix, 10 0:52 eps)

Another great action (with gore) horror series. It focuses on 1 apartment's inhabitants as some people become monsters. We see psychological struggles (child abuse, bullying, suicide) in the characters. The monsters, though mostly unique, seem to have a theme & can be funny in a dark way. The acting is superb & the cast worked well together.

At 1st we are introduced to many characters & deal with flashbacks, which can be confusing. Surprisingly, in 10 eps, we see a lot of char. dev. & feel something for these characters. With this star-studded cast, you never know who will survive the entire series, so dangerous situations are scary & intense. Questions about being human, compassion & empathy are brought up.
