ek toh "romance driven" already narrows down the field SO much which is necessarily not a good thing for me cuz i haven't watched a lot of Pakistani dramas to begin with. also I feel like nowadays the definition of "romance" has changed. it's a fairly new wave of dramas that actually show the physical intimacy aspect of romance in PakDramas. otherwise the older PakDramas wouldn't necessarily have such things (and the ones they did unn pe Pemra ban laga deta tha xD). ab toh if anyone says "romance drama" toh I immediately think they are asking for something like Tere Bin which...bhayee aisa yahan aur koi product nahin hai.

KHAIRRR. some of the "romances" that I have enjoyed in PakDramas I can list in no particular order.

Sanam (Harib x Aan)

Diyar e Dil (Suhaib x Arujumad / Wali x Faraa)

Yoon Jaehyun is a 23-year-old college student, after being hacked in an online game he pretends to be a girl to take advantage of the men. His new victim, Kang Eunsung, has fallen in love and wants to meet him in real life but what he doesn't know is that his girlfriend is a actually a boy and that they have already met!

Okay, this manhwa is cute. The art is pretty nice and you easily fall in love with the characters, the art development is awesome and at the end is like woah.

The story is quite interesting, all the online and offline relationship is cute and the way they development feelings for each other is cute and lovely. The season one is interesting and its involves all the love process between Jaehyun and Eunsung. If I'm being honest the 1st season is like a k-drama but i liked, the tragic past, the trauma and the drama is pretty good (aLTHOUGH I DIDNT LIKE THE "LOVE TRIANGLE" poor Jae and fuck Jungwoo)

The second season is concentrated on the game and adult life. I really liked this season (I'm not a game person so the plot of the game itself was like huh. but i like that the game has connected the protagonist) All the romantic stuff is cute, obviously you want more and more.

So I watch quite a few Korean dramas, but I hate having to wait for episodes, so I normally wait until they are all out before I begin one. However my sister sent me a link to an article about a show called ‘Hell is Other People’ and about how they had to reassure the public that no one was actually harmed during the making of the show. We discussed it and decided that we would check it out. As of now, there are only 4 episodes released and we just sat and watched all 4 back to back. This show is a psychological nightmare! I mostly checked it out because of Lee Dong Wook but I think I’m going to be anticipating these next 6 episodes!

The show is based off of a webtoon by Kim Yongkhi, which I haven’t read btw. I heard that its loosely based because the character that LDW plays is an original character made by writer Jung Lee Do.

My impression so far of the show is total confusion. That doesn’t mean the show isn’t good, because it is, but that it’s interesting. It has me on the edge of my seat wondering what exactly is going to happen next. It is a little gory but nothing to bad. I have sooo many theorys and I might make more posts about this show in the next few days. All I can say right now is come on Saturday!

Nobody asked but here is my review!!

"There are things you can only achieve together. So that someday when you look back, the people you experienced it with will see it as a happy memory with the same warmth that you do."

Yoshioka Futaba is a 16-year-old high school student who try to fit in with her female friends by acting "unfeminine" beacuse of that she feels her life is uninteresting. Her life will take a dractic turn when her first love Tanaka Kou returns! He disappeared years ago in middle school, Yoshioka has all the fond memories they shared together but everything has changed now!

Okay so, Ao Haru Ride follows Futaba as she reaches for true friendship and love (all while trying her best to stray true to herself). I really like this manga, is a shojo and you know how all the manga shojo is like... the same and this has the same cliché but hits different. So lets begin.

Ao Haru Ride, like i told you, hits different. It's realistic. Futaba (like most of the shojo protagonist) doesn't have a major lack of social skills, she is just looking for the right way to do friends and trying to be herself. Kou, i think had the best and depth development; the final Kou is so cute and sweet but I would have liked to see more the change between the serious and grumpy Kou and the serious and sweet Kou. THE LOVE BETWEEN THESE TWO OHMYGOD. Is so damn cute, like fuck. Why can't real love be this good and honest!

The others characters, oh they are so cute and the cute. All little moments they have made so fond of them! Yuuri, Murao, Kominato, Tanaka-sensei and the rest, I'd have liked to see more of them.

Talking about the the whole "love triangle" thing, i didn't like it. Althought is kind of realistic (Futaba accepting Touma bc she is trying to forget her feelings towards Kou) I think was a bit too much, very forced. Although, I really like Touma, he's a good boy<3

The art is fucking gorgeous, the expressions, the characters, everything is very eye pleasing and you just contemplate! (If you want to, please search the official art/illustrations). If I wanted to describe my experience with this manga in one word is "enjoyment". This manga made me contemplate so many things (real life romance for example), made me crash and broke into tears. I really enjoyed this manga. I want to see more of this manga!! More of the characters, more of everything! More of the after school life!

when people ask me to list things i lose my mind but anyway lemme try

Zulekha - Mera Naam Yousuf Hai

Wali/Faraa/Arjumand - Diyar e Dil

Romaan - Aik Nayee Cinderella

Junaid - Khudgarz

Kashaf - Zindagi Gulzar Hai

Zara - Daam

Mohid - Dil Lagi

Jugnoo - Jugnoo

Zaki (not too sure about him but eh) - Yeh Raha Dil

Asfand - Baba Jani

I am trying to see similarities between these three shows but I..can’t? xD I think you are looking for some non-melodramatic/social messages dramas with a solid romantic subplot, right? Hmmm.
