As most of you all know, I'm a Korean drama addict. (I watch Japanese dramas sometimes and rarely Taiwanese and Chinese dramas.) But a comment from Julia on dramabeans
has stirred my global spirit!
So I'm going to try to watch more dramas from other countries. Over-acting be damned, I shall venture forth.
The suggestions I'm considering so far are from a poster called Turkish Rose; and these are Turkish dramas:
Fatma gulun sucu ne (what is fatma’s sin) -- about a poor girl who was raped by four rich guys and how society and justice treated her after the incident.
ASI – (the most beautiful love story I’ve ever seen)
Ezel – the best retelling of the story “the count of Monte cresto” ever filmed, won so many awards, the acting and storyline were superb.
Adini Feriha koydum – the story of a poor girl who lied about her status in society in order to fit in, but her lies get the better of her when the wealthiest guy falls in love with her, and seeks revenge once he finds out the truth.
Calikusu (the falling bird) currently airing right now, based on a book about the diary of a Turkish orphan girl.
ASI is subbed on youtube so I may dive in.
I tried to find English subbed versions of Asi, but was disappointed.
Ever since I read about the London writer who read a book from every country in the world, I’ve been wanting to expand my own viewing to include more country’s dramas. Turkey is one I haven’t seen anything from.
Ethan Zuckerman did a TED talk about how we have the internet now, but that doesn’t mean we challenge ourselves to seek out exposure to new cultures and ideas. We tend to stay in our safety zones. KDramas opened my eyes so much to a world I didn’t know existed, and I just wonder what else is out there that I have never stumbled upon.
So yeah to all of us who have learned more about other parts of the world by watching dramas. Plus learned by meeting other posters here at Dramabeans. And of course thanks to javabeans, headsno2, gummimochi, and girlfriday for giving us this special place to chat with folks around the world.
