I'd have preferred him as the ML.

I know this is a bL and all but I just say how cute Hashimoto is! She's such a supportive friend. I love that BLs these days are trading off the caricature of a jealous girl character in favour of these better written, more supportive girl character.

As expected 4 nominations at the Oscars. This movie is one of the best films of 2021. So well deserved.
PS: Hidetoshi deserved the nod over Benedict as well. He was soo much better than Benedict.

This is imo overall the strongest Dan group since the original 4 Dans.
There are some of dramas/movies by this gen that I'm really excited about. Esp From Dust, Flowers Bloom starring Vicky Chen, Liu Hao Ran, Chen Fei Yu and Zhang Xue Ying.

That's 100% not true. Haoran is first of all not a drama actor, he focuses on movies and he has worked with highly acclaimed mainland directors. Whereas Lusi's a drama actress and doesn't do movies much. So they cannot be compared. Secondly, he's considered the best actor of his generation by most in mainland and has worked with highly acclaimed directors and for China, domestic acclaim is significantly more important than international popularity because their main source of $$ is domestic market not international market.

I like this bunch of Dan much more than the post-90s and Angelababy's generation. In the post-90s group, Yang Zi and Zhou Dongyu were great but the other 2 were such mediocre actresses, whereas in AB's gen, none of them were good at acting.

This bunch except for Guan Xiaotong (who was also part of post-90s group) are really good. Vicky Chen is so young yet has so much potential, Sophie Zhang and Zhang Zifeng also have so much potential. I haven't seen much of Ouyang Nana though outside of her music.

It doesn't. Tag is wrong.

That's not just Lookism. 99% of the Cdramas and Cmovies are dubbed. This is due to the size of China and the dialect as well as accent differences which makes it very hard to understand the language. Often times, someone else dubs the voice instead of the actor esp if the accent is very strong.

Hello, I watched it raw since I can speak Korean. I watched it on Netflix Korea.

You're not the only one, most of us are actually very annoyed and tired by the typical love triangle lol the whole second leads-main leads dynamic has gotten really stale now so shows like Run On are so refreshing.

Ok Fiona.

Exactly, the SML in those dramas are the type of guys we wanna see as main lead.

And omg yess Run On is an amazing drama and the lack of drama and love triangle is what makes it even better imo because no character gets shafted in favour of another. It sucks to watch dramas where a well written SML gets sacrificed for the annoying ML and vice versa. Multi-couple dramas just allow the writers to explore more colour and dynamics in couples than love triangle.

I'm balanced. When the SML are good, I get SLS/MLH, for e.g in Nevertheless, the ML was a toxic pos and the SML was>>>>>>>>>> or in Start-Up where the ML had the charisma of a dead fish compared to the SML.

Whereas if the ML is better and the SML is me MLL/SLH for e.g Just Between Lovers (although the SML in this isn't a bad character, he just has no chemistry with the FL) or Forget to Remember You (the SML is just very manipulative, unintentionally).

I personally MUCH prefer dramas with multi-couples and no love triangles.

She sounds like a dumb OT8 stan tbh

How's that relevant? She's not responsible for anything that happened to SNSD. It was SM's fault.

Ahh the days when Kdramas were obsessed with giving female leads horrendous hair styles (this, Coffee Prince, BoF, You're My Destiny, Cinderella & 4 Knights etc.).

I got like 10 of them correct and honestly these review descriptions are SPOT ON lmao Kudos to these reviewers because these dramas can be described with those lines exactly. The one about Touch Your Heart, Vincenzo, The Innocent Man and Gangnam ID esp were spot on lmao The Touch Your Heart description in fact suits CLOY as well.

For Signal, I watched the Korean version back then and then watched the Japanese version. I found the Japanese version much better as it was trimmed down with just the right length. The Korean version got really dragged on mid-way through on the other hand.

Yes. Their own problems seeped into their lives and created toxicity.

For whole Asia, Taiwan's the most LGBTQ friendly place.
