Dropped this a while back, started it up again and I remember why I dropped it... Bai Lu's overacting in some scenes really turned me off. And what's with the shouting, it's like most statements are an announcement, or it's as if she's trying to be heard over a microphone, that's annoying. I rewatched scenes in her later drama and she's definitely improved.
Finally finished this and was left underwhelmed and deflated. So many scenes could've been sweet but they all just fell flat. The build-ups were there... but then it fizzed out. There was no real development from HS to when they finally got together. Sure they were together but the warmth and fuzziness just didn't exist for me. Nicest moment was his vows at the wedding but apart from that, nothing else is memorable.
So, i started out this drama trying to check what slices of life can it offer about marriage. Am just currently…
"Now she wants her career to prove her worth." - why is it when women want a career it has to be to prove her worth or some other reason? Why can't it be because she just wants to?! When men want a career, is it for any other reason than because they want a career?! Are they even asked why they want a career?!You want to be a housewife and find pleasure in it, fair enough, of course it doesn't make you less of a woman. By the same token, wanting a career and not wanting to be just a mother and wife also don't make those women any less of a woman. You can have what you want without putting down other women's choices. Just be glad you live in an era where you get to make those choices for yourself, even of it's not the case for a lot of women.
And you don't have to be a "modern" woman to want a career and raise a family. You are a woman who would like a career and be at home, you want it? you're entitled to it, you go for it, it's not for any other person to label.
aahhh Lu Chen... I haven't watched him in many dramas, i think only Love o2o movie which I don't remember much. He's definitely Mr Dreamy, hooottt is an understatement but I did find him a bit stiff literally, that it was awkward for me to watch in some bits. Some of their interactions I didn't find natural... some of the staring into each other's eyes felt forced and dragged out...
Seven - I've become a huge fan of gers watching most of her stuff. I'm finding that this was my least of hers... her character was sickly sweet and the smiles were too much... I didn't really feel connected with her character, I'm not sure why...
As for the whole show, I felt flat watching it... there was constant build-ups but it didn't go anywhere. A lot of their skinships ended up with a not so authentic peck. I loved the whole high sch interactions but after they got together, it was just bleh... I wasn't interested in any of his work stuff and got bored with that.
Another thing which annoyed me was the way they handled Lu Chen's father's arc. I felt the drama was a bit gutless in resolving his father's drinking problem just like that, no realistic development, no consequences.
I was so looking fwd to this but I was a bit disappointed. Might rewatch another time when I'm maybe in a better mood. Def wouldn't mind watching Lu Chen again.
Why can't I get through the first episodes of this drama without giving up on it? On the fifth episode, finally…
From what I ca remember, it wasn't a baby voice... she was very timid and intimidated around him so a lot of the times around him, she was almost whispering
As someone who can't have a child, I really appreciate FL's line to her mother at the hospital.
yasss! and there was something else she said... something along the lines of she shouldn't be expected to bear a child just because she's a woman, something like that? am loving the writing... would love to watch other stuff of the writers and see what the dialogue there is like
Same. At first I was confused as to why she kept giving money to her father and half sister (because it felt out…
right?! I think it's the first drama I've seen where the lead clearly lays out how she feels about a parent... I was afraid she'd still be giving them money throughout the whole series so it was nice to see her letting her biological father know exactly where he stands with her. So proud of her!
Just started and what I'm loving most is LYA's general demeanour and her personality. She is calm in the face of crises, treats people with respect no matter what they dish out and she expresses her opinion resolutely without the need to be cruel. Loved how she dealt with her father. I also love the relationship between her and her mum, so healthy, unlike the usual toxic relationships depicted in other dramas.
Glad to see someone who agrees. I just couldnt get aboard with her with JYJ because I didn't feel chemistry between…
Yes, I felt her and JYJ had more of a student/master kinda relationship and their kiss was awkward and cringey and came outta nowhere. Not sure if I'd wanna see their romance in a new season.
I gotta admit, I got more excitement from MDE and Ha Do Young's scenes than her scenes with JYJ. Their chemistry was hot and it was due to his acting - first time I'm seeing him in anything.
