I would, in a heartbeat, for free! I don't even wish to receive compensation for the idea. It's free territory now, C-ent can come and claim it happily! ^^
Much thanks Bunny! 🤩 Fingers crossed it happens someday! 🤞🏽🤞🏽

I'm living for the free-therapy in form of the green-boxes! <3 Hilarious article btw. I think I lost it at:
"But for all you who were disappointed I shall whisper Doom at your service, Doom at your service, Doom at your service just to help you find that inner anger, can you feel in bubbling yet?"
xD xD XD

Yes, it's been longgg! It took me forever to conceptualize the post, though I still think I could have done a better job on structure! xD
You're absolutely right on the pfp! <3 I was a huge fan of the artwork back in the days, and I always wished it got remastered in full-color. And then I randomly thought how *well* the story would do as a Xianxia.. sad it never got taken up by China despite the huge fanbase. In fact, BotWG is like a mother of all the xianxia web-comics/ web-novels that got released post 2010. Like tgcf, mdzs, and the tmopb trilogy before that!
What surprised me even more was why they passed on it, despite the story being very much a domestic existence...I think China just had a lot of their own works to adapt from, and even if they did buy the IP back then, I reckon it would have got released because of the Hallyu ban that followed soon after! TT
Not to say it can't happen now... I hope it does. Fingers crossed! <3

Jung Ho Yeon (Sae Byeok from Squid Games) comes to my mind. She is an extrovert IRL, but her character Sae-Byeok was a lot like CYR?
I think she still can play a high-schooler convincingly. More than JYB, lol! xD

Ah, there usually is a dearth of highly anticipated dramas, as the year progresses after the New Year Celebration (general trend). Year-end, every company wants to make huge money and get raises, also is the holidays, so they can get max viewership. Same with summer vacation/ holidays... plan to squeeze in some dramas I will miss out on now, during the dry spells, lol! xD Live watching is pretty exhausting, lol! :P

PTW is never-ending ISTG!... Scheduling, as in on your MDL profile page, you maintain a pretty strict schedule when to do what... like writing articles, watching yt reviews and such... I really like how you're organized, and I decided to assign days of my weeks to diff activities too, hehe! <3

Haha, yes mgtv is notoriously late for subs! :/ I think there should be a drought of good dramas starting feb? (drought for me is anything less than 6 'good dramas' live airing, because then on the other remaining days, i can watch the older stuff i missed from the jam-packed period!) Hehe, cannot believe supporting actors and watching dramas requires a full time schedule! xD xD
Must admit, I got inspired from your scheduling! :')

Ah, I really don't have time for another 'fluffy professional c-drama' rn (fake-fan alert!) :P
but i do plan to check it out in '22, once all the good dramas stop dropping! xD

Thank you for remembering me here! <3 Miles again looks fantastic in glasses. He should keep them! <3 <3

Hahaha, the glasses look good on him!! :P :P
(i look like a potato wearing one!) xD

Yes!! And I'm always surprised to see him in roles where he has to wear glasses! xD The stylist-dept now always makes him wear specs! <3 <3

Thank you Cho Na for this one! <3
I would have never known had it been for this article, that so many the actors whose works I follow, are indeed in the top 30! :'D Nice to see some familiar names here! Cannot wait for the next 2 parts of the series. Guess have to wait till part 3, to see Xiao Zhan, Yibo, Yang Yang & the likes??? :P :P

SAME! Also mainly cuz Joe n Alice are the same gen of actors, and Joanne and FMB would be the next gen! ^^

Greg's character as Alice's boss is a fascinating possibility! <3 <3 <3

It would be fun if GH doesn't appear as himself, but some side-character who's also a God. And the FL of course would be like... 'oh look, that God looks like GH!' xD xD

If he doesn't appear by the end, then it will be the first actor in the HISTORY of MDL who got credited as a 'guest role' for a cardboard cut-out and a poster. How meta! xD

No, she belongs to the Atayal Indigenous People.

Oof, what a visually stunning article Cho Na! <3
I'm definitely inclined to watch this now, after finishing SD1D recently, and also after this post! :)
The synopsis and trailer had me worried this would be like a Taiwanese version of a certain recently released k-drama with cringe emo dialogues, inconsistent mythology, rules and world-building. But your article has convinced me that's not a problem here, plus I forget the 'serious' drama-makers in Taiwan are serious about drama-making, lol! ^^
The fact that it's by the same creators as SD1D is also giving me good hopes! :)

Fun Facts: 1. The FL here (Joanne Tseng) is the only 'ethnically minor' actor among the main cast.
2. Joanne cameo-ed as the fortune-teller in SD1D (the one who predicts no. 32 will be special to Yu Xuan)
3. Major spoiler for SD1D under 'Acting of Seasoned Actors'. DO NOT READ THE LAST LINE of the 1st paragraph! >.<
4. Everybody here wants to be Greg's babe! :') :P

Ooooh, a shotgun wedding; well that's new in k-ent! xD
Congrats on the baby, and on the upcoming nuptials!

I hope this ushers a trend/ era of k-celeb weddings, esp couples who have been holding out for sooo long, who want to 'get married' but can't! -_- Eagerly waiting for Woobie X Mina & BinJin weddings! <3

Yesss! Had been looking for this comment! <3 SD1D remake Casting-directors, please make it happen! :')

YASSS!
But oof, again a SML role T_T
Drama-Gods, please give this man, and Lee Sang Yi a leading role, jaebal, palli! :')
