Oh no!!! I loved her in the dramas I have seen her in!!! She always played amazing villains and misunderstood mothers... I am so sad to read that she was going through so much... RIP.
Third character lol. Secondary is the general (the main villain)
I used the word secondary to indicate that he is not a main character. It was not an indication of his rank in listing.... He is not a major character and I am sure if Leo leaves out of the show a lot of people will stop watching... Even I feel like a hypocrite because I find myself becoming a little bored when he is not on screen... (^O^)
This is one of my favourite JDramas. I saw it back when it aired and long before it seemed that everyone started getting 'triggered' by every little thing in the media. I thought the actors did a great job dealing with a lot of tough subjects. The character's stories stuck with me for a long time. Wish there were more dramas like this. Highly recommended.
I have become such a fan of his now! So multi-talented! Ballet dancer, C-pop artist, solo singer, pianist, actor,…
And I just discovered Leo can also draw and sketch quite well. And he is praised for his calligraphy too... He is so multi-talented it's like he is not of this Earth... (^o^)
I agree! The author did an awesome job. If GOT was made in different countries it be would be fun to see one with Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Indian actors as the casts as well. This could be a new article series on kisskh!
I agree with the concept of a Chinese drama. It fits better with the GOT world. A lot of them also have these…
Some people may not think she is pretty but Wu Jin Yan would be an awesome Danerys IMO. Li Ying Zhao would be awesome too... She looks younger than her age so she might be able to pull it off.
I like the idea... but I think it makes more sense for GoT to have a Chinese version because they really like…
I agree with the concept of a Chinese drama. It fits better with the GOT world. A lot of them also have these types of situations with battles for the throne in them because it is such an ingrained part of history.
Also Chinese dramas don't shy away from the gore that would be a vital part of GOT. But it could not be done in Mainland because all of the gay characters and situations would definitely have to be changed. I would not mind but a lot of others watching would.
But Yang Mi is too old for Daenerys IMO... She would be great as Cersei. And Vengo Gao as Jaime. That would be fun to watch!
girl same i don't know if i should continue bcs i just KNOW they'll paint him as a villain and won't give him…
Trust me... Keep going... I was going to quit half way through but I got a spoiler (something I usually hate) and it made me continue. I never grew to hate Run Yu.... By the end I completely understood everything he did... Not saying it was right... But I understood...
I have been having so much fun with this drama! I am a fan of Zhang Vin Vin so that is what made me decide to take a peek at it but the whole cast is really good! It can be a little corny at times but in a very fun way.
Will I say it is a great drama? No... But is it one that surprised me that it was better than expected? Yes... Worth checking out especially if you are looking for something fluffy and predominantly fun. There are a few heartfelt scenes but none that made me cry or get emotional... Just enough to move the plot forward.
I agree... I don't know why so many made such a big hype about it... I thought it was boring... Never finished it... Plan to one day just because I wanted to complete it but getting back to it is not on my priority list.
The main differences with Historical, Wuxia and Xianxia are that historical is based on actual history even if the details are a little twisted, made up or exaggerated... There can be fighting but it tends to be (for lack of a better term) more realistic.
Wuxia is based around martial arts. So fighting, training, fight styles, and really over the top battles (flying from the ground to the top of a building, or fighting 25 people and beating them with a twig) is to show off the martial arts skills. Usually shows how incredible these people are, or become, through the teachings of their masters. And how they go onto protect or get revenge for others
Xianxia deals with gods, goddesses, Heavenly Realms, Demon Realms, Earth Realms, etc. They can have martial arts, sword play, etc. But the focus is on the trials and loves of the Immortals in Chinese mythology. (This is my favourite genre but hard to come by really impressive ones like "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" or "Heavy Sweetness, Ash-like Frost".)

When you watch to many Asian dramas and are into asian music, you can’t know that much for sure. They are many…
IMO men can pass off looking more like women than women looking like men. Usually because men add makeup so it creates the illusion. But for a woman to look more masculine makeup has to be minimized. Still the contours of a female face is different.
In this case she looks like a woman to me and I don't see how anyone can confuse her as being male. There is nothing male looking about her. I have never seen a woman in any Asian drama that looks like a 'genuine biological male'... But perhaps I am someone that can easily pick up on those things... *shrugs*
I like age gap romances tbh. I never understand why so many will embrace the guy being older but if the woman is older, even by five years, many will refuse to watch the show. Sometimes the actress IRL is older but playing the same age as the male lead and I have seen people write how disgusting it is which makes no sense especially when they look well paired.
I believe that the Cinderella fantasy is what most young women want to see. Older, rich, handsome man comes along and because the girl is young, fresh and cute he can't help but to fall for her. The older man-younger woman dramas are more about teaching the man to be playful and childlike again because older women are "boring " and full of responsibilities. Nothing wrong with that but in far too many of these dramas there is really nothing 'deep' about the girls... Just youthful play and brightening up their day with fun observations and thoughts... No emotional depth required. There are a few exceptions but not many. Sometimes you are left with the curious question of what happens when the looks and bubbly youth is gone? Does the man still find her fascinating as her youthful appearance and outlook fades?
Older women in the dramas tend to have more substance and depth. They don't rely on their looks but their character. So the exchanges between the pairings is more about deep connections and being drawn together by understanding and life experience. As women get older many don't care as much about what others think and that can be attractive to some younger men. Less pressure on them to be perfect and 'manly'. And this plays to the 30+ female audience that someone can love you for just being you... Not looks or perfect body, but just who you are, flaws and all... Isn't that what everyone wants?
I like both types because it does confront an issue that many don't like to discuss in society. Both also show that in some cases there can be a happily ever after. True love doesn't see age... Just each others hearts. IMO that is how it should be.
Really liking this drama so far. Nice chemistry between Lee Jong Suk and Lee Na Young. Interesting cast. I know some complained about the age difference but it does not affect the quality of acting. Glad I started watching this.
I have gone back and forth thinking the actor is a female and thinking eh, maybe it is a guy... I had to look…
I guess I have a different perception because the entire time I sit there staring like, "How can people not tell this is an obvious woman?" I always hate that women never really look like men but no one in the dramas notice. She just looks butch to me but not like a real man. To each his own...
Also Chinese dramas don't shy away from the gore that would be a vital part of GOT. But it could not be done in Mainland because all of the gay characters and situations would definitely have to be changed. I would not mind but a lot of others watching would.

Greatest character ever for me in a drama!

Bad wigs... Probably badly acted, inconsistent plot, will be boring, cheesy effects...
Good wigs but you can still see the glue line... decent acting, nice plot, good to pass the time, effects are pretty interesting..
Great wigs where you can barely tell if it is their hair or not... Amazing acting, decent script, effects are impressive and good production!
Doesn't mean this is completely true but it is one of my strange observations and how I prepare myself before I sit down to watch a CDrama! (^O^)
