Does this show exiat?

So I had a dream the other night and now I would like this show in real life.

It would be an Asian (Korean/Chinese) drama with a fish-out-of-water situation where the MFC (who I played in my ridiculous dream) is a white westerner, newly relocated to Korea and working in an office. But it turns out, she and the boss (MMC) have history - they knew each other and were friends when he was living in (possibly studying in) England. This was obviously before he returned to take up the mantle of family business and she didn't know this side of him. They get reacquainted/he rediscovers his fun side/she falls in love with her new home. Potentially side story where she clearly builds a community that isn't just him. But they obvs have to keep it on the DL.

This dream was very clearly influenced by the only Kdrama I've seen, Marry My Husband. My knowledge is not deep. This is also not at all what I would normally read so I don't know where my brain spewed it from.

Teen/Young adult romance movies with sexual tension

I really loved watching movies like the After series, Through my window movies, Culpa Mia, Tearsmith and I've been looking for movies similar to them but I just can't seem to find something with a similar feel. Something so sensual and romantic that it gives makes shivers go down your spine. Pls recommend....

Romance movie with “broken” love interest

Hey, I’ve watched a lot of movies where the girl is always in some kind of emotional distress and the guy is usually the one helping her through it. I really wanna watch something where the tables get turned though, with the girl being the one helping the guy. Would be really glad if someone could suggest me something like this :)

voiceover (?) of the children in The Tearsmith???

maybe it's just me but I just watched The Tearsmith on Netflix and any scene that has the orphanage children sounds so....unnatural? like even in the original italian when you look at their lips it doesn't match up with what they're saying and the audio of the dialogues doesn't make it seem like the child actors are actually saying any of their lines themselves. is there a reasoning behind this or am I actually being delusional??

Movie of the Week: Puppy Love (2023)

This movie was recommended by several romantics on this subreddit. I had been originally hesitant to watch it because I haven't enjoyed several of Lucy Hale's other rom-coms. This ended up being a pleasant surprise, so I made it a movie of the week to discuss.

A bonus was that Hale did not play a goody two-shoes. Her character isn't a terrible person, just a bit of a mess. Grant Gustin was adorable. I do hope I see him more movies now that the Flash is done, but it seems he is on Broadway currently so it could be awhile.

The movie had many cute moments, and the dogs were cute, but the movie also highlighted the stress and anxiety of letting people in (emotionally, and physically into your space), clash of personalities. Nicole and Max have a lot of overlapping values and interests, but they come at them very differently and end up rubbing each other the wrong way during their first meetings. The movie afterward is about them finding common ground, self-sabotaging/withdrawing, and making up. The overall plot is very simple but both actors give the movie more depth than what you would expect. Gustin especially seemed to throw himself in to the role of a someone with severe anxiety/germaphobia.

Movie of the Week: Past Lives (2023)

I have seen several other romantic recommend this movie recently and thought it would be good as a weekly watch. I am intrigued by the idea of friends meeting back up after such a long time, and how that can disrupt things.

After watching this movie I found it very apropos given the La La Land discussion a couple of weeks ago. This feels like a good connector between that movie’s ending and epilogue. Here is a couple who are very drawn to each other and they maintain a connection despite time, but that can’t get their path synced up to actually be/stay together. In the past they were both more focused on their career and neither were going to budge from those path to be together. I think Nora basically breaking up with him was a good call because they could have soured the memories thry did have.

They both also found other loves, although that to ended for Hae Sung. Nora’s husband is caring, seemed considerate, and probably helped to drive her creatively. The relationship has meaning but it is not meant to be in this life time.

Lovely story, lovely acting. Several scenes were very beautiful shot. I liked all the eating scenes with Hae Sung and his friends. The actor who played her husband has played a villain too often and made it difficult for me to sympathize with him.

Pretty Woman and also movie reccomendations.

Anybody else obbssed with Pretty woman. I did not love the fact that she is a prostitue and he is a rich guy. I feel as if that maybe they could've Gaven her aa different job. Although I did love when Edward stuck up for her and punched that dumbass for hitting on her. I'm aloud to say dumbass right? I should be. Anyways I feel as though I have watched everything so please give any recommendations.
