Do you live in a democracy? Because the rules seem annoying to me. Thank God I was not born in a country where…
in North America and Europe, uniforms are almost not a thing (exception with some schools in Canada I think, and Britain where it's still mandatory). Mostly, the students in the series were against school uniforms because they reinforce gender stereotypes and they are assigned depending on the sex of the student and not its gender (forcing 'women' to wear skirts and forbidding others of wearing it, not allowing 'women' to wear trousers and forcing others to wear it). As always, policing of women's body, as well as non recognition of people not align with binary gender perception.
The scenario, shots and acting are great, but the editing... is really terrible. It's a first for me to be so distracted by it 'cause it's so bad, when every other aspect of the serie is awesome.
The tone of this drama is so confusing. half light hearted romance and half a depiction of the suffering of women in those times. Not a good mashup. And I feel that sometimes the drama doesn't even know what it wants to say? Like, the emperor confess he killed A CHILD to the fl and the music clearly tells us that he's scary, and the fl is obviously shocked BUT say to XD that the emperor is easy to talk to and she wants to befriend him?? Excuse me?? Drama, what do you want from us...
I think in this drama's case, aren't the lines without lips moving done on purpose as inner thoughts?
That's on purpose, like "we understand each other without speaking" except they don't. As for dubbing, I think Zhu Zhengting is the only one dubbed (from the main cast)
I felt that Nana was really in the wrong this episode, because she used her signing to hurt Sou when she was the one who made him recover his voice. When the first word she taught him was "Same" (the word "Onaji'' that she's signing can also mean "equal", having maybe that sense that he shouldn't feel inferior to anyone), she gave him access to a new world, a new mean of communication, a way to find friends with a common understanding. But she in fact found herself possessive of Sou because of the impact she had on his life. I was wondering where was the love in her behaviour? But then I realised that possessiveness comes from a fear of loss. The fear of losing Sou (especially to someone she feels she can't compete with because of her hearing impairment) made her throw a tantrum and hurt him.
