Claddagh

I've discovered her in Everlasting love and I find that she was a very good actress so I'm happy to see her here as well.

I've just watched 20 minutes of episode 1 during my lunch break and it looks really good so far! I can't wait to see the reste

In this drama, the country "attacked" is fictional, the attacker is never named. We don't know anything about the conflict. Chinese volonteers, soldiers or journalists are all mixed. So it's not only China that is defending or helping this Eastern country (fictional name). They speak English while abroad except with Chinese colleagues. So in that sense it's tame. But of course all the Chinese are particularly helpful and nice and brave.
But as it is all fictional, there are lots of things that don't make sense and you'll have to shut a part of your brain 😅 Like in this Eastern country inhabitants are from all ethnies, they speak English with foreign accents.

I agree. We have to be open to other culture, every country paint themself in a certain way in movies. It's not easy because we have to reflect before we judge. I feel that this drama is quite tame on this front.

Blocked. Then have fun alone 😅.

I've grown up with american movies on TV in my country and it was always the USA the center of the universe. Always them the saviours. It was crazy 🤣 . It was so much more exaggerated than that. I agree with you that it's unrealistic but it's a Chinese drama and they paint themself and the main characters as good guys of course. Because it's a romance, it doesn't have to be accurate. They could have done much worse in my opinion.

My opinion is that the number of episodes is not the problem, it's just the quality. Some 40 episodes dramas are so enjoyable you're never bored and some 24 episodes one are impossible to finish. Even kdrama with 16 episodes can be too long if not well done all the way until the end. Some chinese dramas are very short (10 min episodes) and it can be nice but sometimes the quality is so bad that it's not better.

It doesn't look like it. I love his hair in this drama. I think we got use to them having a perm on longer hair.

That's really pathetic I agree. Unfortunately it is a reflection of our society.

It can't be helped. In every war there are 2 sides and the ones that help. The country making the movie will always be the saviour or the one that is right. I think in this drama it's not that much. Yes they're the saviours but nothing more.

To be convincing, the actress must have masculine face. And most of the FLs are very feminine and petite so it would be difficult.

What is a auntie ? Someone over 30 ?

Oh damn, I've finished episode 19 so I have almost 10 episodes to go and you're saying they're bad? 😢

They could have had conflicts within the couple, adjusting, conflicts with the kid etc... I also feel that you don't need this cliché trope.

Did I ask you? No need for you condescending comment.

But isn't it a spoiler? They came back in China and I didn't see this scene. Why do you reveal the rest?

I've seen many of CZY's dramas so I knew he was good but it's the first time I watch LJ and I've got to say she can act for sure. I like her.

I saw the ear device in his ear at the airport. The one that his friend gave him that is discreet.

I thought surname meant first name. My bad.

For a few episodes but it's not a huge problem.
