Looking for Asian Movies/TV series
Hello all. I'm looking for some interesting Asian movies or TV series I can really get into. I'm not really picky about the genre of either, but I can't really stand to watch shows that have been around for 15 years and the pot of coffee the characters have been drinking is still there(some people probably know which long running shows I'm talking about).
The only Asian movies I have seen are: Ju-On(American and Japanese versions) Reincarnation Infection Ringu(American and Japanese versions) Dark Water I'm pretty much open to anything you can throw at me. No one can go wrong by recommending a BL series to me. Thank you in advance. |

JIN is pretty nice one about the edo time from a medic coming from the future.
Kurosagi is awesome. Iryu Team medial dragon is awesome if u like medical series etc... Taiyo to Umi no Kyoshitsu This one is a daily life series which tells the story of a few students facing their life and getting over it ... i strong recommend you this one the plot is really nice and the story too. Samurai High School It is a comedy about a heroic general from the Sengoku period 400 years ago that takes over his body and he seems to be decended from him... it takes place in the today's time... |
interesting suggestions, are there fansubs of these availble anywhere? That's about the only way I get to see these unless you can tell me that some us company has actually released them out here which I highly doubt. Also it would be the only way I could understand whats going since I dont speak Japanese
|
i am sorry, i did not read the rules well and MMM has contacted me about this post containning links so i am removing it ...
|
Thanks for that, I love looking for more japanese shows.
|
Cool. Thank you for the links and suggestions. What about movies?
|
That is a hard one i am sorry ... i dont know many movies what worth watching so i will just not recommend any >.< but will look forward for recommendations...
By the way if you like musical stuff there is also Nodame Contabile very very good. |
I love Ninja Warrior! That is one awesome show. They're coming out with an American version too.
|
Try watching Boys Over Flowers. It's a Korean show and it's very funny and heart-warming. Plus you get to see a fair share of eye candy as well. :D
|
Does anyone of you already watch "Windstruck"? Well its a romantic-comedy film and have similarity in the story of "Ghost" by Demi Moore.
|
I just finished watching the series called Absolute Boyfriend...that was pretty good.

BATTLE ROYAL (damn good action film in general based on a comic)
TABOO (1st japanese, and so far the best, film I've ever seen!) Director: Nagisa Oshima. It has won multiple awards. "It shows life in a samurai training school during the bakumatsu period, the end of the samurai era in the mid-19th century, specifically concentrating on the issue of homosexuality in the shudō tradition in the partially-closed environment." -Taboo (1999 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia KAGEN NO TSUKI (btw, Hyde in one of the main roles as Adam) Love story of such an passionate emotion that has the power to defeat even death itself. Besides; it's visually pretty piece of work. Can probably also be found from the net for free watching if someone wishes to do so. |
Look up Kimura Takuya and watch any dramas he is in. My recommendation is Mr. Brain. :D

Great

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon anyone??
I also enjoyed Azumi. It's about a female assassin. Some other movies: Nobody Knows, Hero (feat. Jet Li), Battle Royal, House of Flying Daggers. TV-series I'm not really into dramas but I do enjoy the so-called variety shows. These shows contain a lot of humor. Invincible Youth is a Korean show which I really enjoy. Some other shows: Star King, HEY!HEY!HEY!, Star Golden Bell, Arashi ni Shiyagare, We Got Married. |
I really liked these shows
Tv-SHows 1. The Office 2. Heroes 3. Friends |

Hana Yori Dango Hana Yori Dango 2 In my opinion, it is so much better than the Korean version. For example, in the Japanese original, the girl looks like a teenager, in the Korean remake, the girl looked like she was 25 years old! Not saying the remake was bad, it was OK, I watched it, but the originals were smash hits in Japan. |
Well my favorite Korean drama is a show called The City Hall. It's a reLly good show, I especially like how they have romance and comedy in it but it doesn't get all stupid like some others do. And a good movie is one called Old Boys, it's that kind of movie where towards the end it makes you go "Whoa what just happened!" yup.

Not sure if this violate anything, but silentregrets.com (Home) has TONES of full version TV show and Movies you can DDL... all subbed...

Since you want recommendations, I'll be concise.
'爱 (ai)' or 'Love' - a Taiwanese melodrama about all political concepts and double-faces of "love". Plots and snappy retorts are in abundance. You can find reviews and comments, as well as details here: Links on "Taiwan Drama <爱>" | Facebook 'Personal Taste' - a top-ranking Korean drama on radical romance; a comical/intense, love/hate relationship between your everyday clumsy dolt of a girl and a prideful workaholic of a man. Drives emotions like no other. Actors/actresses are great lookers too! Personal Preference - DramaWiki 'The Curse (Noroi)' - a movie kinda like a Japanese counterpart of Paranormal Activities, except it scared the freaking sh!t out of me, more than P.A., even when you know everything's fake; my whole day just seemed weirdly spooky and alert (after) watching it. Takes a good deal of imagination and personal provocation to watch. Not recommended if you're into the explicit horror type. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Curse_(2005_film) BTW, if you really look, you can find websites containing a whole archive of Asian horror flicks. |
Here are some of my favorite Asian movies. Keep in mind I am a sucker for sad emotional movies so..
JAPANESE: Rainbow Song - really sad and beautiful and my favorite movie ever! I have seen it so many times because it makes me feel really emotional! Be With You - very sad, it made me cry, and a really nice story Nada Sou Sou - very sad and beautiful All About Lily Chou Chou - one of my favorites, it really makes you feel kind of weird but in a good way Picnic - sad and kind of scary movie. I really liked the music and story Instant Swamp - funny but sad and really good Midnight Sun - visually and musically amazing and sad Sweet Rain - unique and has some funny parts but is very sad. and here are just some more really good ones Linda Linda Linda Swallowtail Butterfly A Litre of Tears Love Letter Heaven's Bookstore Kamikaze Girls Only You Can Hear Me Dolls Hana and Alice KOREAN: Sad Movie - so beautiful and stunning and so so SO sad!! A Moment To Remember - really touching The Magicians - one of the best most amazing movies ever made Epitaph - the BEST korean movie in the world! Everyone should see this it is amazing! A Tale of Two Sisters - really popular wonderful kind of confusing movie I'm A Cybrog But That's Okay - a silly but really good and sweet movie and some very good horror ones but more importantly have a great story Hansel and Gretel - beautiful and amazing Red Shoes Hikikomori - really good and sad at the end Cello Whispering Corridors Voice Letter Wishing Stairs Blood Pledge Bunshinsaba Hidden Floor Cinderella Memento Mori - one of my favorites Acacia - really great Secret Tears - again really great I have a lot more I can't really remember right now, if you want, let me know! |
