Okay so this has been a bit of a ride. Bear with me.
A couple months ago, I subbed to Netflix to watch something or another. I think the Grimm Fairy Tales anime and something else. It was short lived so we wanted something else to wrap up the month. Oh look, Sweet Home's 2nd Season is up! We enjoyed the first one so we dived in........ Eh, it ended up not being as good as the first, but this isn't about my complaints about one series in particular. Netflix then put up a "Recommended for me" with Hellbound! This one, I really enjoyed....but my wife didn't like it at all. Ah well, can't win them all. Following the good ole algorithm, the next one was "Gyeongseong Creature". Now this one was one we both could really get into. Set during WW2 in a Japan occupied Korean city, it was a scenario we weren't really familiar with and that was part of the fascination. A nice mix being historical supernatural horror mix. We got another season coming later this year, but for now, our sub expired.
Enjoying the horrors of at least 2 of the 3 shows we watched, we decided to look at Prime's and Hulu's offerings. And that......was when the genres shifted. My wife sent me a link with the phrase: "Oh hey, I read this manga!" (I believe it was a manhwa or webtoon)
"Marry My Husband." Oh boy, I thought........and I took the plunge..........
It was a blast. Drama that was serious but still didn't take itself TOO seriously. The acting was phenomenal and a joy to see. And the dubs were really well done. (I know I'm losing a bit by watching it, but that's just how we consume our shows at night. Besides as I said, I think the VAs did a good job). It was also really cool to listen to my wife explain how the show differed and pivoted from the source material! I think I would count this as my "first" since I've not really been one to watch live "slice-of-life" genres before, and thus it still lives rent free in my head, even after we finished it.
Next, we moved on to.......... "Moving". More akin to what we watched on Netflix, it was back in my comfort zone. An interesting 'super powers' set up that's a little more vague in the power sets given to the characters as opposed to those found in American comics or something like My Hero. But despite what I felt was some inconsistencies, I still enjoyed it fine. I hope it gets a second season at some point, but I think this one is older so it might not come to fruition?
It was rather brutal so we decided that we needed a break from the action side of things (we were going to watch The Boys when its season started). So now we're on........... Kiss Sixth Sense. I can already see how it's going to tickle my brain in the exact same way as Marry My Husband after only a couple episodes in lol
Don't have an order in mind on what we'll approach next, so just listing what else we listed under "My Stuff" on Hulu:
Call It Love
Revenge of Others
Crazy Love
Link
If you got any suggestions, feel free to share. If you've seen what I've already seen, I'd be happy to talk (tomorrow, I'm going to bed lol). Or if you have any opinions on what I've listed but haven't gotten to yet, I'll be happy to read!
