A person who is pretentious shows a false sense of knowledge of a subject. You have no evidence that my knowledge is false. You just don't like being told you have poor judgement.

It's kind of like calling the Mona Lisa ugly. An opinion that's valid, but clearly uneducated.

This drama is artistically purposeful in every choice made. It's far from boring. My guess is you're not familiar enough with Chinese storytelling and symbolism to follow. Start with something basic, like The Story of Minglan. There's still Chinese storytelling there, but its much easier to grasp the plot.

This though. Fiction isn't reality, but also....yikes.

It's the same pinyin, different names. I think its Yi Chèn and Yi Chén based on the tones I'm hearing, but I'm not great a distinguishing them yet.

That's really Western-centric. The West doesn't have a monopoly on what is considered normal toast eating. Adding jelly and butter would be weird from their perspective. I hope as you watch more of these, you can remember that your normal is not the only normal nor is it the better normal.

Right, but that's what I'm telling you. It's not regular wheat bread. It's a sweet bread and she was eating it with congee in the scene you're referring to. Its in the bowl on the table. The sweet bread doesn't need butter or jelly it's already sweet so they just toast it.

It's not plain bread. It's a sweet bread. They usually eat it with congee.

Rewatching and it's still a masterpiece.

This office is especially horny.

You don't watch enough dramas. lol.

...it's a drama?

Where can we watch this?
