Role Reversal (RR) Drama Lovers Club

 TheNthbit:

Waiting comment #54

Welcome Tho

 Simi_Tutu:

based on the comments I've come across on MDL, many viewers mention that this role is one where she isn't portrayed as a sad character being taken advantage of by those around her.

YES GAWD I'M SO HERE FOR IT

 Simi_Tutu:

However, judging by how this club is shaping up, I believe we'll be here for a long time, exchanging ideas and enjoying each other's company. It seems like we all love to chat! Haha!

I love it so much, it's like our little cozy corner on MDL.

 Simi_Tutu:

I'm quite taken aback that it has ratings exceeding 8.0

There's quite a lot of high traffic actors here so I guess that's where the ratings come from, but I've learned to NEVER pay attention to MDL ratings xD

 Simi_Tutu:

If you come across any series that doesn't involve role reversal, don't hesitate to send me a direct message!

Will do! Please don't block me if I start spamming, I get quite passionate once I'm invested in something.

 Simi_Tutu:

especially with my poor eyesight

I'm in the same boat lmfao, hot people have poor eyesight

 Simi_Tutu:

but have you watched the drama An Ancient Love Song ?

yepp, it's one of my favorites. But I'm down for a rewatch I just wish there were more hours in the day :(

 Arclei:

supplement with notion

love an aesthetic notion

 Arclei:

Dewit.... JOIN US

calling me to the dark side hahaha, I'm having a great time reading your thoughts though. Maybe I will join after all

hello! i'd love to join :)

 VEDANT:

can you share with me 

I'll keep this brief so we don't get too side-tracked, we can always move it to dms if you have more questions. (sorry for the delay, I was gonna reply yesterday but was feeling ill)

When it comes to Notion, there's a pretty steep learning curve but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. It's mostly about what works for you since you can customize things to fit your needs. I made all my own templates but I did start out with pre-made ones way back in the day (for my writing projects) so I unfortunately don't have many templates to share, but I can show you screenshots of my page and you can find templates online.

I have my dramas in a sub-page of my media page. There I have it separated into my Currently Watching and my On-Hold titles with a little calendar view to track what I watched which day. Once I finish or drop a title, I move it into another page where I just have them all listed.

I mostly use 'gallery view' of the database. Each drama is then it's own page since I like to keep notes on shows I watch (used to anyway, I've been getting lazier lol). In each page, I write the Good, Bad, and the Okay. I also have a section for Characters (for those 40+ cdramas), relevant links, and memorable moments. As for properties, you can see here: https://postimg.cc/gallery/npYG1JV

Note that I made this template when I didn't have a MDL account so this served as my logging system. Since I began using MDL more I stopped updating as much and a lot of the info isn't really as relevant but I still keep it somewhat updated. I mostly use the calendar tbh xD

This might be a good starting point template: https://noelledevoe.notion.site/TV-Show-Tracker-babd96ab1107432d9ff6346aec243b53.

An Ancient Love Song EpisodeTwo

• Lu Yuan really said hurt my wife ... end your life - Slay Queen Slay XD
• Sword-swinging bodies flying... Shen... can't we all just get along? BRUHH
• THESE ACTION SEQUENCES ARE SO FLUID 👏🏻🔥
• Li Yong has mentioned that he has met Shen before, which we already know. However, his remark, "All of this happened because of you if it hadn't been for you..." suggests that Shen has had a significant impact on this timeline.
• Please tell me Lu Yuan  is going to throw a guard to block the arrow
• What the heck baby girl I said throw a guard, not your body!!! DXX
• She was soaring and flipping everywhere, but when the moment came for her to kick the arrow out of the air, she actually took the arrow instead? What?! Alright then!🤦🏻‍♀️
•  I see what they did there. What a perfect time to queue in the OP  🤡 Keep it moving! 
• Not Li Yong looking shocked  Lu Yuan is hurt. This isn't the first time he's looked hesitant over a comment or action. Whose side are you on?
• I am a sick individual. The illustration of her lying unaliveed in the book had me rolling. 😂🪦
• I actually appreciate this detail! The shattered bits of jade are beginning to heal on their own. I just hope this comment doesn’t come back to haunt me later, especially if it turns out to be related to how many times he can go back in time.
• Shen is applying super glue to a historical artifact.🫣
• I propose a hypothesis: what if the elderly woman at the stall is actually Lu Yuan? What if she is leading him to her?
• " So violent it is her for sure" Where's the lie 😂😂
•  I really like that. His movements are so smooth as well.💞
• Lu Shi looking like a whole snack 🥵🫠🫡
• This boy is entirely too old to be acting that childish 
• Wow, security is lax at this palace 
• "Prime Minister his Majesty was unexpectedly stupid five years ago to hide the truth political affairs can only be handled by you it is so hard for you you have been misunderstood and wronged "Girl stop playing we all know who’s really doing the heavy lifting here. And can you believe she just called the emperor stupid? 😂
• A part of me wishes that his majesty is just pretending to be foolish to identify his enemies.

Replying To Your Comments: Episode One!

• "indeed quite the unusual thing to do but ig ultimately... why not???" It's more like he picked out the ones where he looks like a top model! LOL!
• "no. self. preservation. skills. xD" I sense a recurring theme in the later episodes, haha!
• "Looks like he's someone eager to please, hehe" Cue the role reversal tag :p
• "Her own child or not, it's nice to see leads be parents" Except if my memory serves me right, Shen mentioned that history indicates her adopted son moved to overthrow her. So, I guess time will only tell.
• "xD Like absolutely no, king, but go off"😂
• "Like bro never watched back to the future??"  UGH now I'm thinking  about Marty's mom hitting on him 😭😭😭

Your Comments: Episode Two!

• " So they meet sometime in the gap" That's a valid observation; I didn't connect the dots.
• " We love it though, gives FL more chances to protect her man 🔥" We should definitely acknowledge his effort in trying to drown that one bandit, haha!
• "The fight scenes were actually quite well choreographed too o-o "Absolutely agree!
• " fight scenes where the fighter needs to fight while protecting someone"
  I find these scenes incredibly appealing because the movements need to be faster, smoother, and more imaginative to navigate around people and objects. Plus, the presence of weapons adds an extra layer of tension.
• (aaaand the actor has no lead roles... fml) LMAO 😭😂😂😂
• Wait, who's gonna kick the bucket? Lu Shi ???
• " He's giving more and more himbo energy with every passing moment. " STOP At this moment, he believes he's making a mark in history. Little does he know, he's really doing it all for a stunning lady! 😂
• "So FL is the sister of the general and the stepdaughter of the prime minister or is this referring to 'jie' as in 'older woman'" Oh,I’m just as lost as you are! But let’s be real, my attention span is shorter than a TikTok video, and history? Yeah, that was never my jam. If it’s not laid out for me like a buffet, I’m totally wandering around in the dark when it comes to dates and family trees!🤦🏻‍♀️😭
• Seriously, how did the Prime Minister not catch the sound of them gagging in the next room? I mean, it was practically a concert in there! LOL

I can move on to the next two episodes, but I won’t be able to share my notes until the weekend since my schedule is full tomorrow. However, I can start watching the episode later in the evening.

An Ancient Love Song EpisodeTwo

Thank you for the recommendation, I will jump onto this one very soon :)

It seems interesting.

 Simi_Tutu:

Arclei and I are buddy-watching it together! We've only gotten through two episodes so far. If you'd like to join us and share your thoughts, that would be awesome! XD

Sure. After I finish "Kimi wa petto"today or tomorrow. :) 

 Simi_Tutu:

I still haven't checked out the 2017 version of Kimi Wa Petto; I've been procrastinating like a champ. I'm just so obsessed with the 2003 version that I can't bring myself to dive into the new one. But hey, one o

The original must be very good. Generally speaking it is. I will watch it, in order to have a point of comparison. Thank you.
