Chinese Empress

yes, I mean the actress

I like IU as actress in the original too, but her characters was too shallow and bad i did not like it. This remake is far more realistic, intense, depressing because it's the real tone of the drama.

I'm always able to analyse each scene while not forgetting the original. The plot is very good, but the way they develop it, here is on another level of perfection and feelings

KUDOS TO YOU, my friend. I suggest it as a cdrama only watcher because the plot is very good even though the execution is not. But it's up to you. I am a cdrama only watcher but I always suggest to compare original and remake in any case. Personally I like both in terms of plot, but Chinese remakes in way far superior in every aspect in its execution and development

it has to deal with a lot of real topics, and probably yes, he will know about it. I did not like his attitude in the original, but I quite think he will act almost the same

so explain to me why i laught with my mister, i am moved with this remake, and anything korean could ever brought me to tears. Tell me then. I watch dramas for better and more mature purposes than leisure and pure entertainment. but oh well, people liking kdramas can cry to a bunch of hypocrites and cringe like crash landing on you, so no wonder you are too weak to accept real world has no place for smiles sometimes.

this is not a plot for smile, it's simple the reality. It's ok if you understand, because not everyone is intelligent to understand sensitive people should not watch this kind of series.

the problem is in their attitude. Remakes are created to be compared, but you need to anaylise. And kdramas are not doing it at all. Too similar to the original? Are you judging by the cover? shallow attitude a cdrama fan would never have. Too similar to the original, and you can't even write a whole paragraph to elaborate this statement. Envious because this remake is way far superior to the original starting with the ML with no scandals? stay bitter then. I'm not so shallow like you.

it's not a competion, but with different perspective. Watching dramas, do you really mind if an actor d***ed? NO. Adults don't do it. Kdrama fans cannot stay serious, so it's them taking into a competion while cdramas are far superior. And it's your own guilt starting late with cdramas wasting time on kdramas

watch it and then you can compare

JIANG JIAQI THE MAN THAT YOU ARE.
In the original too, I thought the wife was too stupid to cheat on a man like this, despite it was not exaggeratedly charming like in this remake. He had his own charm, in a way, though.
In this remake I think this even more, because the politeness, calm vibes, charming attitude and moral integrity is on another level.
Episode 9 If i remember it correctly, it will set something for later on with the friends' case.
Episode 10. The scene on the snow is majestic, well executed and with a deep meaning. It's the whole meaning of the plot. falling through an hard path while never gives up and stand up again. " I can't die yet". Really loved how Jiang Jiaqi is getting alone alone and still quite shaken, starting to understand and care more for Yu'An, and even being influenced by her.
he is starting to leave the cage he is in.
Next ep will be the turning point, one of them.

it's not hate at all, it's laughing more than hate. Kdrama fans cannot even analyse properly frame by frame a remake, understand the nuances, the development, the message conveyed. They only care about actors, nothing more. It' s hate when you value a remake because of a d****d body ( and i won't say what i think about the case, because i'm not someone whitewashing or fangirling).
I like the korean version in plot only, because i'm not someone weak that cannot handle depression, tears, sorrow and grief, From a drama like this, i only expect heaviness and depression, not laughter. I'm mature enough to understand that a drama should convey a message.
the korean version cannot convey a single thing, unless you don't want to be a d****d person inside like Ji-An. Everyone has its own problem and life, like dramas, should teach to fight them.
they are bitter because the remake is far superior in everything, because it conveys way better the message cutting elements for weak people like comedy. A plot like this does not need comedy, not now and not ever. When kdrama fans can stop being obsessed over actors like 11yo children and watching dramas as adults and in a mature way, they can be taken seriously.

because you don't need to smile for this kind of plot...

give it a try, it's way better

it's psychological. She said to him that she seems already defeated, like trapped in a cage waiting for his own end. She needs some more time to understand he cares about her and what she had gone through. Yu'An is not defeated, she is still struggling since you, and just recently she knew that Jiang Jiaqi's life is not as perfect as it seems from the outside. She said they are similar but the attitude is totally different.
Yu'An is someone that won't sell only themselved and the ones she cares about, for money. Strangers doesn't matter.
At the momet he is still someone she does not know so well, she is starting to know him through the hidden recordings.
Give her some times and you will see

i rated 3 the original one because it does not suit my tastes, at least not out of competition- Preferences are ok, but this is ridiculous

can you blame her? she has grown too fast for her age, she took everything on her own without losing the willing to love or to fight....

Chinese is better in conveying emotions and sorrow which i could not see in the original. And the actual scene is even shifted later, not at the beginning. It fulfills the original purpose because the attitude of the leads is different while adding a better way to understand them, and the slad was a chief kiss in execution way better than the original.

i watched more than 5K cdramas since 2014 to the point i have almost finished everything ( i did not use MDL first, so i have to put them here). I watch cdramas to be filled with Asian values and ideals, not for watching USa colonies. I don't want anything from the west coming from a drama, from values to fornitures. Modern setting should be modeled and created in Asia only.
In tons of kdramas the way of putting the furniture in the house and even the material is not from Korea, and sorry, i watch dramas for this exactly.
And then well if you find valuable cringe series like crash landing on you with a completely immoral and ridiculous ending, even more irrealistic, feel free to watch them.
I mind Asian values and realism. Chinese shows have a bit of comedy but i have never seen people pooping in pants like in lovely runner. Does korea have no bathrooms? what's the deep meaning of the scene? and more, in a drama that should be sorrowful like Shining for one thing?
Yes, i'm stuck with moral values and i'm too old to fangirling like a 11yo, more since i deeply criticise the OG actor here. Moral values and teaching are the main aim of the drama, not fangirling or actors.
Actors work and we should respect their work, but the drama has a message to MANDATORY convey. That's what kdramas never do.
crash landing on you, what's the message? that a war is nothing and people can live on hearts and romance? bu***lshit since the drama is over north and south korea, not a romance without any chemistry.
if kdramas are like this, i'm sorry, stick with them.
I will stick to the far superior Cdramas seriousness in which for sure they won't reduce a war to romance. No need to force others.

i will wait then
