![]() I’ve always been a fan of gore, so “Kingdom” is the show I’ve always wanted. “Sexy Central” has become my go-to show whenever I want to watch something quick and funny. I’m used to most East Asian shows being very conservative and PG-13 but “Sexy Central” doesn’t hold back. They all are successful women from good backgrounds but each uniquely different which is nice to see. I instantly fell in love with the show and the characters due to their unique personalities. It’s funny and each episode is only 25 minutes long, making the first season quick to finish. However, “Sexy Central” is definitely worth the watch. It’s a very enjoyable show that a lot of people won’t ever watch because they don’t think reading subtitles are worth it or find an interest in watching a show about women they have nothing in common with. ![]() The show deals with five successful women juggling their careers, relationships, and friendships. “Sexy Central” is the Cantonese version of “Sex and The City” and I’m here for it. Their relationship doesn’t seem forced and it’s accepted by most of the characters. “Elite” does a good job of not making sexuality a huge issue for a same-sex couple in the show. There’s also Muslim and LBGTQ+ representation. I love that the show is diverse–some of the most powerful characters on the show are women. I won’t give spoilers, but once you start watching you’ll become addicted to the drama in these teenagers’ lives. Sometimes in a show, you don’t like some characters or the plot and find yourself skipping through it because you don’t care, however, that’s not the case with “Elite.” Every character is likable and their story is worth watching. This show left me on the edge of my seat. The show is about three students who gain scholarships to an elite school filled with kids from some of Spain’s richest families. The show was so good I honestly forgot I was reading subtitles. ![]() It’s the quickest show I’ve ever watched that wasn’t in English. “Elite” amazed me because I binge-watched it in three days. I want to say “Elite” is in my top five teen shows I’ve watched in a long time but because of the high amount of nudity, drugs, and murder I don’t think it’s actually “teen-friendly.” However, that doesn’t stop it from being a good show. Not everyone ends the series feeling the same way because the show brings out so many emotions that not everyone is going to interpret the same. Everyone has their own interpretation of the ending which is what I think makes it amazing. “Scarlet Heart” will leave you emotionally conflicted by the end of the series. Other members of the cast include Baekhyun, a member of the K-pop group EXO, Ji Soo who’s known for his roles in “ My First First Love” and “ Strong Girl Bong‑Soon” and Nam Joo-hyuk. Her two love interests are played by Lee Joon-gi and Kang Ha-neul, who deliver their roles so amazingly that it has become hard for me to watch them in anything else. The lead actress that plays Hae Soo is IU, has been described as Korea’s princess. It’s a historical drama that’s filled with betrayal, action, anticipation, excitement, and heartbreak. The synopsis might sound like a cheesy basic romance show but “Scarlet Heart” is way more than that. ![]() Hae Soo soon becomes close to a family of very handsome princes. “Scarlet Heart” is a Korean drama about a 25-year-old who is transported through time to the Goryeo dynasty and takes the body of a servant named Hae Soo. The cast, the soundtrack, the costumes, the emotional hiatus it put me through, this show is the epitome of TV shows. “Scarlet Heart” holds a huge space in my heart and it deserves every inch of it. It’s not the best Korean drama or English show, but the best show ever, period. “Scarlet Heart Ryeo” is the best show I’ve ever watched. That being said here are some extraordinary shows that are worth reading subtitles for. Now that “Parasite” has encouraged people to watch foreign shows and movies hopefully more people will be open to the amazing productions out there that may require subtitles. However, when “Parasite” gained the attention it deserved it also brought awareness to how western countries purposely ignore non-english speaking shows or movies.įor years US film and TV companies have made foregin speaking films/shows into remakes, downplaying and disrespecting the original works. It’s sad to say that many people didn’t even want to read subtitles until late 2019 when “ Parasite” won multiple awards and was raved about by everyone. ![]()
