His role in My Mister, although minor support role, is SO well done. If you haven’t watched that one I highly recommend that and “Come and Hug Me” for great performances by JKY.

This drama is a cut above most CDramas. Does such an amazing job with expressing emotions and the music is used so well. Music can make or break a viewing experience. This is definitely one of those times where it is used beautifully to enhance the emotional impact of the scenes. Jerry Yan. OMG he’s everything.

I really appreciated his talent and enjoyed his work. The world has lost a great actor. So very sad that he went through this and felt suicide was his only recourse. My heart goes out to his family.

SO SO good in Heartbeat. Completely stole every scene he was in.

Seriously, the MUSIC! So so good. I loved everything about this series with the exception of Gong Jun’s makeup in about 5 scenes where it was distractingly awful. His eye shadow was super peach and his foundation/contouring was heavy and made this beautiful man look weirdly lumpy and unattractive. It was probably all scenes that were filmed same day with the same bad makeup job but it is bad enough to make me cringe.
That aside, I recommend sticking with this one as it was truly worth it. And the MUSIC! Did I mention the music? 😉❤️❤️🥰

Agree, Taiwan gets that right!!

Racy CDrama = oxymoron in most of my experience… maybe 2 ardent kiss scenes here. The others are very inexperienced, first-love, hesitant kisses. Very innocent tone overall to this drama.

Agree though that the wig was the worst. It was so distracting I think of that horrible hair whenever I think of this actress. Although now I will think of her with the short cut from AMA because she was amazing in that and that show was phenomenal.

I remember that when I watched this show (a long time ago now) I found the FL’s terrible wig super distracting and I really wondered why on earth she was wearing a wig considering how awful it looked. I just watched Arsenal Military Academy (so good) and now I see why she needed a wig! 😜

Well said! Bringing awareness to a charity can bring in a lot more funds than just your own donation. There will always be people who only donate for the publicity it brings them. But, the benefits of that donation and the publicity for the charity are much more important than the intentions of the giver. And who are we to judge someone’s intentions, anyway? It’s all conjecture, not to mention we bring our own cultural bias into the judgements.

I thought the same thing about the house and KinnPorsche, yes!

Are you sure the dubbed version is still Jun’s voice? It sounds SO different. I watched the original version on IQIYI and I have to say the only thing I didn’t like about this show was Jun’s speaking voice. It has a sort of flat and odd tone to it which is out of sync with his “look”. That being said, I watched a few scenes where his character has the most lines on Viki and the voice not only sounds completely different but also really familiar. As though I’ve heard this voice in a lot of other dubbed cdramas… I hate dubbing, though. It is distracting when the lip movement isn’t synced right, AND we aren’t getting the actor’s performance.

I think this is coming out before end of this year.. It now shows on IQIYI as coming soon and says release year is 2023. Doesn’t have a specific availability date yet…

I agree, I feel like it was a slim KDrama year. I’ve watched a lot more CDramas this year because there haven’t even enough KDramas I’m interested in.

Agree. The first half of this was absolutely incredible. It completely lost its way and then ended on such a weirdly unfinished note. I would have rated it 9 stars for the first half. I kept waiting for it to recapture the magic but it didn’t. Liked the cast. Liked the OST.

The original series, “Addicted” was “~ Adapted from the novel "Are You Addicted?" (你丫上瘾了) by Chai Ji Dan (柴鸡蛋).” Since this appears to be the same story, that should be your answer.

Thank you for the recommendation. I will check it out!

Yes! I have watched BOTH of those, 😆
