EDrama

I really liked that she didn’t feel so modern. She was smart, she wasn’t condescending (so progressive in that sense), but clearly she could only be as she was because of her privileged status. She is not a groundbreaker trying to change the feng shui of the time. Sort of realistic, I would imagine.

I love many shows from youku, but their app on apple tv is bad. It works rather well on iPhone (and iPad I presume). But their ATV app is not good.

I’m only on episode 10 sofar (this far amazing), portrayal of grief is hard. They could only do this so natural because the actors could carry it.

I cried most of ep 1, but if we read the script, it’s really nothing special. The actors are always the key.

I know it’s a harsh climate for celebrities in China and South Korea. It’s very judgmental and complicated. But I don’t think it’s a voluntary shelving of projects. The public sentiment is of a goldfish nature after all, after a couple of months I doubt anyone care, and even if it gets some attention again after a drama is released, it won’t have the same impact again because people already know. Even if a person is guilty, a lot of innocent get punished when a work is shelved. I find that harsh.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally realized what was bugging me about her enforced break. I truly believe every country has the undisputed right to govern themselves as they see fit, this of course includes China. But in these cases, the punishment comes before the crime. I understand the (desired) extreme deterrent factor. And I don’t know any circumstances surrounding her case, but at what point will you get suspended? Is it sufficient that someone reports you? It seems a little problematic to me, but as I also said; it’s up to each country to govern itself.

I also like Reba a lot, and her playful persona shines here and there in this. I also like revenge tales a lot. On paper, I should love this, but it’s just not good… sadly.

I was not impressed by the first 2-3 episodes, but somewhere I still got hooked. Now I’m at episode 22, and it’s a very entertaining show.

Love & admiration

Yang Yang is always stiff. That’s his vibe.

Very good at playing a sad and little pathetic bad guy. His performance in ADOS makes me very uneasy, and the moment when he truly snaps is scary good.

The actors are magnificent. The storytelling is very natural and fluent.

I really want to see this! Flower of Evil is a great drama, but it’s great because the actors are fenomenal.

He is perfect as a complex villain!

Very mature aura. Beautiful and talented; always a good combo.

Great actress. She plays truly intelligent characters with ease.

After watching Are you the one and Si Jin I can for sure say that, as an actor, he really nails the jealous stare.

9 kg is pretty significant. I mean, she’s probably shorter than 165cm.

Sweden is worse. We have rape 2 pay for 1 system. It’s absolutely insane. Being a victim in a swedish courtroom is straight up a slap in the face

A lot of comments about Are You The One… I can only agree. The character is beautifully written, and she made her come alive so effortlessly natural. Perfect.

Love & strength!
