Yes! You said everything i thought about that drama.

It's funny when viewers want to enforce modern views on these dramas. They should stick to dramas like Blooms in Ruyi.

Deng Chao and Zhou Shen as mentors make this show so much more entertaining. Youth with You's mentors are a snore fest (Lisa helps but her not actually being there feels disconnected).

Because i actually backed up what i said -- she obviously wants to look pretty 24/7 on screen, so it's natural to stay as an idol. Why do you think the term "idol drama" even exist?

Anyhow, I'll agree with you it's an insult. Let's hope her next character is better written.

So you're saying being an idol is a bad thing?

It was a critique not an insult.

Yes! He acts like she's his property. Terrible.

Nah. The other show with Lisa as a mentor, nothing about Blackpink is mentioned, everything related is titled as "Lisa's song" or so lol.

Funny and sad how the censorship will let Japanese trainees appear and speak Japanese but nothing Korean-related is allowed lol.

Pretty difficult to beat Carmen Lee imo. I really liked Fann Wong's version too.

I'm on ep 34 and so far misunderstandings are quite minimal between the leads. They actually have a good amount of heart-to-heart conversations to clear any misunderstandings. I am pleasantly surprised at the wholesome, realistic topics they are covering -- for instance, they are actually conversating about the honeymoon phase and insecurity regarding their difference in status. Really loving the scenes of them together.

Or how the two leads lack chemistry already when they should be much closer to each other...

He's the opposite of the young, cool, handsome, and smart CEO trope lol

Edit: my goodness his character is such a loser; pretty bad in drama standards.

This drama throws a wrench into that wheel of young, smart, handsome, wise, and cool CEO (in this case, Chairman) trope. Because this one (the 2ML) is a very dumb, unattractive, immature, and lame trust-fund man-child who was negatively affected by being raised with everything handed to him on a silver platter. Quite refreshing and annoying at the same time. lol

Pleasantly surprised by the FL's character at the start. She's cutely mischievous and funny; I'm actually laughing out loud when the two leads are together.

To clarify: "FL" means the character; not the actress. I'm not insulting JJY.

I just finished it for the first time yesterday.

The FL is an awesome actress; she portrays her emotions through the screen so damn well. Her command of her tears are unbelievable good. I realized how much I love watching her on screen as the drama progresses. (First time watching Ni Ni)

The ML has the typical stoic and cold characteristics. His acting is also really good, but personally he took a little while to grow on me. Once he shows his emotions through his love for her though, I felt a rush of those emotions through the screen.

The chemistry is there when the two of them are on screen together -- although more from the FL at first since she has a more lively character. Yes, their love story is the "destined for each other" kind. It does start out slow, but once I got to episode 17, the story got rolling.

Honestly, I did not like him at first because the lack of emotions from his stoic and cold character. But as the drama progressed his character opened up more and Chang Chen did a wonderfully job of portraying those characteristics.

C-Netizens mentality that's why. 2021 but they act like they're in one of their ancient dramas. "You did bad? Then your family's 9 generations will be shunned!!!"

My goodness I hope so too. I really like her expressions in Yunxi and Ruyi's Bloom but not much range in her characters.
