ikr I understand dubbing for actors who have thick accents but my girl is pretty decent in it so it's annoying 😭

this is actually crazy omg who the hell said they wanted silent and cute male characters or a girlboss drama??? Is it too much to want male chars in a damn romance to respect the female chars and treat them normally??? If anything It's the drama's pr team that has been marketing it as "yass girlfriends girl power feminist women sismance yayyy" from the day they started shooting it, not us lol

yes DOS too!!

this drama uses it's on-set recoded audio ...the only ones not dubbed among the cast are Huanyu actors so Idk how to feel about that. Lyx's diction is okay so they could edit the og audio for her like they did for wxy but it seems like yuzheng doesn't want to spend effort on actors that are not from his label...

I don't update my list very regularly tbh I'm here more to comment 😭 I picked PM up in the first place bc I always love female centric dramas so I promise you I'm not lying

Yeah exactly BIA has a very similar premise but it's sooo different. These comparisons actually makes you draw really interesting conclusions.

The way FP is at least 5 times more historically accurate than PM and the ml is still in no way this hypocritical with the patriarchal values 😭

like hitting women on the head with a damn ball bc they beat up your perverted cousins who sneak into their private space and cheat on their wife is crazy 😭

bc I'm not on mdl 24/7?? 😭 I loved SAHG and TTW lol

people are cooking me though 😭

I litterally explained why I find this rhetoric absurd if you read my comments properly...and I have watched those shows lol I don't prefer "safe" dramas, I just prefer good script where things actually make sense and certain traits the characters have contribute to the theme and plot.

But it wasn't some mutual argument 😭 the cousin is the one at fault

so I'm gonna rant abt it again in a separate comment bc I see lots of these takes...creating fictional historical media doesn't always give you a free pass to excuse historical values and normalise them🤷🏻‍♀ everything you include in a good script needs to have purpose and do sth for the plot. Sometimes you do portray male chars in historical fiction realistically for the sake of the themes you want to convey, which would obviously be critisizing those questionable values (E.G The red sleeve cuff). But what even is the point of making some cutsy family romance drama and make the male chars ,who are the love interests, a bunch of woman haters other than pissing off the audience?? There's litterally no point in this and the plot wouldn't be any different if they weren't that way so it does leave a bitter taste in your mouth and makes you think the writer did it on purpose lol
P.S : New life begins had a very similar premise but the men were never this way bc the writer knew realism would do no good for a romance drama. And flourished peony does a great job in including historical accuracy and depicting women's struggles with patriarchy in their time, but also manages to make the male love interest acceptable for the modern audience.

There's litterally nothing Song dynasty accrute about it though (other than costumes and hair and even those are like, 50% accurate lol) so I don't understand why the men have to hold historically accurate morals 😭 It litterally has no thematic purpose and does absolutely nothing for the plot

btw why is lyx dubbed when her line delivery is no less acceptable than wxy...yuzheng is biased smh

also hope ppl stop saying "this is a historical drama so it's normal for the men to be misogynistic" bc the characters are completely fictional and there's really nothing historically accurate about it besides the Song dynasty label slapped on it for the sake of the costumes 😭 not sure how depicting men in an idol romance drama as historically accurate misogynistic contributes to the plot...like we are a modern audience who are supposed to like these characters and root for the ships to sail lol

I always find supposedly "female centric" stories narrated by male writers to have lots of problems but idk maybe I'm judging too early lol

litterally 20 minutes into ep one and ml is gaslighting fuhui into believing her being upset about her freaking HUSBAND hanging out with courtesans is jealousy...I'm sorry but I do not like this whole "wife disciplines his childish irresponsible husband" thing at all. I don't find it funny and she actually needs to divorce his musty a$s lol

c-ent is kind of the funniest ent industry in the world. Nowhere else on planet earth do you see the whole 30-40 episode of plot in the supposed "synopsis" and the most important scenes in the entire show causally rolling over in the opening. Truly 0 fcks given abt spoilers 😭

can this please be fun and entertaining like at least let the dramas be good if we're losing idol bona to the actress disease 😭
