Cause netflix and koreaboo culture growth (before Japanese dramas and movies were more popular). But yeah squid game director plagiarised Kaiji's storyline and As God will. Anybody that watched Kaiji can see where mr Hwang got his "ideas". Also stop using "popularity" to question an obvious case of plagiarism. There are countless stories in this world of more popular brands stealing from less popular ones. To conclude, Alice in Borderland were popular when released in 2020.
After SSS I am a lil afraid for JOL's season 2. Hopefully Wang Juan will not disappoint. But I wonder if Xiao Zhan did not want to comeback in S2 and 3 who do you think can take over his character ? I am thinking about, Wang You Shuo (he is really good but his ability is getting wasted in cdramaland), Kris Fan (he can express) or latest one Wang Zi Qi who is more popular than the 2 former ones and trendier (Guy is a good actor and needs to stay away from modern cheesy storylines).
Just dropping here to say I love your profil gif. Wang Ruo Shan is gorgeous. But I fear that with Chinese PDs mentality her career might not blow up. Hopefully it does tho
I am watching JoL and I do like the drama, however, I skip forward the scenes with Wan'er because I find her annoyingly…
For such a drama and character Li Gen Xi is absolutely the wrong pick and as you noticed I am not the only one that could see that (apparently she keeps on pouting left right center). From the things I read around about the original source material some of those that read the novel wonder what the person that did the casting was thinking. And even Avenue X that usually is a fan of hers through her two previous modern dramas did not feel for her performance in SSS. If they wanted to pair ZRY with an actress that can look like his niece Song Zu'er is here with better acting in a costume drama and enough charisma against the likes of Zhang Tian Ai ! Waner character was not all that but she did not ruin JOL for me.
Li Geng Xi is mistcasted for this type of drama and a lot of people think the same. 0 chemistry with Zhang Ruo…
The ones that checked on the drama and are not necessarly on MDL. Lol you really thought I was the only seeing how she does not fit here and has 0 chemistry with ZRY ?
I disagree, I thought he was wonderful and the fact that they were married at the time and expecting gave them…
As I said Feng Xiao Feng is not for me (and I tried to overvome that for my love for MingLan and I can't). I just can't believe he is paired with Peng Xiao Ran in novoland
And let's be honest AeJin has more chemistry with HoIn than with that guy that suddendly reappeared in last episode. And lord the angelified-bully with the whole Haneul that became the center of the show was just offputting. And the way AeJin-Her mom relationship was treated and resumed was insulting.
