Truly horrific numbers, and it gets even worse if you think that those were the reported cases.
There are probably many more missing children and exploited ones that were not accounted.

No.

I'm admiring their patience, cause I would have ended up in jail multiple times by now

LITTLE SPUD'S CASE

This case is pure perfection writing wise. Phenomenal. It was realistic that she blamed the grandma, that she was devastated after what happened, that she would do literally anything to get her son back. Pure desperation.

Our world is really fucked up, cause taking advantage of someone's grief to earn money is despicable. I liked how it mostly felt that giving the money and getting the kid was her last hope and an act of pure desperation and not of idiocy.

When you lose a child, everything turns black. She was out of her mind, thinking that the child was hers when it wasn't. I liked how she said "I don't care if he is involved with the human traffickers, I want my child back".

It was very real and quite hard to watch. I can't justify her and her husband's actions but I understand them. Also, I loved the scene when she sees two mothers passing by with their kids and the look of utter despair that she may never hold her son again.

Lastly, the rections they all had to the incident were fantastic, but I only want to comment the "aunts" reaction.
How cruel and how real. Her saying that she should have another kid to be her anchor.
God, I have actually heard people saying that they have heard something like that in situations when they lost a child, and it is truly terrible. Like the mom said, you can't replace the child you lost, it's not an object.

"Oh, there's never any ?" not sure where this is reffering to

If we are being honest I doubt many actors got famous for their hard work, but of course there are some but probably less that what we thing.

Many got famous cause of their looks and can't act for shit, many got lucky and of course many got a role cause of connections. In dramaland and generally in entertainment industry it is not easy to survive just because you work hard. Many actors probably got favoured one way or another to get main roles and even supporting roles. Antagonism is so big, it is difficult to make it if you don't have the right people backing you up.

Yeap he was famous, but his fame skyrocketed after Till the End of the Moon that was like 2 years ago. He's much more famous now than he was back when Immortality was filmed.

I mentioned it cause "famous actors-> higher profit".
Now that both main actors of Immortality are super popular, platforms would probably have a higher profit than what they would gain if they aired the series when it was filmed. So selling it internationally will be a huge loss financially. Bigger than what it would be a few years back.

I wouldn't say he needed it.
His father is indeed very famous and pretty sure he was behind Ever Night which got him quite famous.
Take into consideration all his roles in series are main roles. His first role was Ever Night and he was just 18 back then. Immortality would boost his popularity for sure, but I wouldn't say that it was needed for his career. On the other hand, Luo was certainly popular -and I think he is much more popular now compared to Chen Feiyu-, but he got his "fame" much later, probably mostly after Ashes of Love when he was 30 years old.

Yes

Yeap, he was great!

For a moment I was like "who the hell was the SML in the double"?
I thought you talked about her first husband at first 😂😂😂

I think a well written series is a well written series.
If the scriptwriter and director do a good job to present a story on screen both "styles" can work wonders.

I believe though that if the crew is doing a good job, you don't really feel how slow or fast paced a series/movie is. Or to be more precise, you may aknowledge that something is slow or fast paced, but you also feel that this is the right pacing for the story to work, even if it is not for you.

Here, it's like someone is pointing a gun on the scriptwriters head to make the series move this fast. As a result, characters feel one dimensional or if you prefer not as complex as they could be.

Am I enjoying it though? Yes. But I also differentiate a well written series from an entertaining one. A series can be well written and not be for me or it can be highly entertaining but not high quality (of course there are entertaining and well written series too). For me this falls on the "I am having tons of fun watching it, but I will probably forget it when it ends".

Well, as long as it is something we enjoy it's fine.
I just hope it won't go downhill, cause unfortunately many series that start off like that don't end up well -and this is not just a BL thing-.

Viki got it! Not sure if it will be on another platform too.

Viki

Nope. I am halfway ep. 1 and him complaining about her being on the team and getting that position gave me major Under the Skin flashbacks.

You'll probably be able to see it now

Nothing for the time being

Well, like here some tend to rate before they watch. And especially when it comes to Viki ratings are not to be trusted. Most series there have a rating over 9.

Hopefully there is nothing wrong with the distribution rights.

The channel appears on Viki and seems that subbers have been assigned, but there is no "episodes section".
I am not sure why yet, cause usually there is one even if the series is available in a few days from now.

It will probably appear soon.

Thanks

Does Wang Duo appear in the first four eps?

Haven't watched yet, but generally don't judge by the rating, look mostly at reviews if you're thinking of watching.

Especially when it comes to newer dramas, ratings may change constantly the first couple of weeks.
