Interview clips with TJC where he talks about the animal organ/intestine eating scenes after SMs was gone. Apparently…
Poor Tan Jianci! I think this is a scene that should not have been imposed, because the risk when eating something that gives a violent reaction like vomiting is that is it starts something worse like allergies or feeding aversion. I hope he got over it without lingering consequences but such scenes should not be accepted too "courageously". We can do without them, or with acting them but not demand the actor lives them. Besides, this was not a funny scene, but a rather cruel one, although Su M playing with flashy jewelry was fun.
Nevertheless, despite this fly in the ointment, I still relish this drama, which causes me to smile and guffaw like a loon at the screen ;) Liking the learned references to past classic movies that were uncovered on the way : it's got more layers and depth than suspected.
I'm curious about something...Usually cdramas have very strict censorships. ..in usual long dramas,mainstream,…
Actually it's really acting. On YT there are BTS from "Embrace In The Dark Night" and even within that drama, the way to make believe is shown. Fish kisses and pecks have become a bore for many audience, so there's a demand for spicier stuff, within the framework of what's permitted. Dramas featuring sizzle have their devoted audiences, cheering on gleefully the curvy actresses and muscular actors such as Dawn Chen and Dai Gaozheng in 2022 hit short drama "Maid's Revenge". But the scenes must look nice, and yet not be advertisement for immoral behavior. It's more acceptable if the characters are married, or on the way to be. Immoral behavior gets dealt with through harsh means, even harsher than in reality where some offenders serve long sentences. In the short format," raunchy " scenes cannot linger on, so productions have to compensate with some wildness and visuals that can be adapted to tablets or phones where audiences consume them while commuting. Btw, it's not mini-series only that have sizzle. A good part of "Road Home" has bed and kisses scenes, and some bare shoulders, torsos, toes (you'll never see full nudity), and "The Forbidden Flower" had many artistically ravishing scenes (with an excellent OST too), the latter further playing on age difference and other transgressions. Some scenes were so hot they were cut, sending fans on the hunt for those cuts! These dramas passed review nonetheless but for streaming platforms, not for prime time TV : to prevent kids from watching age inappropriate shows without parental guidance.
How many dramas have they been in together?? Please tell me all the dramas they have appeared in together...
Three : 2022 Maid's Revenge (DGZ showed his 6 pack abs already under uniform!) ; 2023 Forever Love; 2025 Rainkissed Fate (steamy kissing, spectacular abs and kicks from the "boxer", cuddly curves from the "heiress", and cute kids to complement ; very nasty and evil antagonists : it's still airing 😋) Dawn Chen has chemistry with all her partners, but with Dai Gaozheng, it's fireworks 😜.
started this cos comments said it was hilarious, but outside 2/3 scenes, i don't get it, ok mostly because the…
Everyone does not have the same sense of humor. There is humor in every episode, black humor as well as slapstick and more subtle one : that's why I am eager to see what follows next, and the drama has become my lightness and smiles pill for the days. Oh the fun of watching the filter allow a bronze statue and a folklore framed painting to be "brought to life" to keep ML hoodwinked! Reminding of old Tex Avery cartoons where anything can happen! This drama has sometimes a feel of Helzapoppin absurdist movie and musical comedy of the 1940s which remains fondly on my pet "old movies" list (can be watched here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOkYlkkv-Uk) and sometimes of beloved old cartoons like Droopy (selection here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JWotX1ymGQ ) JC-T's Tang Qi has some Droopy vibes with his beaten-dog squinting 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Playing pitiful was quite funny on the part of the "young CEO" implausibly doted on by his associates! The part when Lin Yuan and Gu Yu discuss her take on her new comic at the "overbearing CEO" dinner is both comedic and a light reflection on what makes romance novels and drama audiences tick : we can recognize ourselves in self derision and laugh at ourselves too! These two are sometimes like a deformed mirror image of the leads, sometimes shine for themselves in increasingly endearing ways but not hogging too much time, so it does not get annoying. The story is mostly comedic so I don't expect buckets of gushy love and kisses until much later, if ever. But if I needed that, I'd just watch a more conventional romance drama on the side: there are plenty of them, and I've grown a bit jaded about them, especially the "slow burn" ones like The First Frost (which thankfully has one day off a week, so I'm straying away, perhaps not to return before it ends, or ever, since there is no surprise there for me). They all repeat same formula over and over anyway, in different pretty faces disguises, like the ones lampooned in this drama.
now its ms fang needs to die lol because tang qi falling in love with ms fang again haha
How on Earth is Su Chengcheng going to untangle Tang Qi who falls in love with all her disguises? 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 I'm really having fun with the surreal situations the "three graces" and "two princes" go through. Not bored, just following the flow, sometimes raising eyebrows at the way lofty ideals are being brought down to earth, invoking "laduzi" to slip away repeatedly 🤣 Btw Su Chengcheng's face has better skin since she joined the cosmetics company : has not Tang Qi noticed yet, or is he like the goose who has a seriously restricted vision? We know he has a congenital and incurable vision defect yes, what was it already? quadri or tetra something? we get to know about all kinds of weird defects and diseases in these funny c-dramas. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 This one is my lightness and smiles pill for the day. I am not disappointed by JC-T and Li Landi, nor by their colleagues!
I had never thought you could get sleepy from TWOT and still linger on here asserting your hate for the FL + reading and commenting answers not to you, clearly marked to other MDL member and under spoilers. "Curiosity killed the cat" syndrome? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 But perhaps it is possible to feel exhausted, after so much digging to uncover what is hidden? Get a cup of coffee and move on, since you already slap the drama with a 6 together with 0 episodes watched ; BE LESS DISHONEST AND PUT IT IN YOUR DROPPED LIST if that's how you feel. Stop pretending having higher ground opinions when basically what you have is bias and hate, and nothing to contribute to information in any way.
wasn't planing on watching this one, too many things airing and upcoming, I was sacrificing this one. But I watch…
Well I'm going to dump the extra baggage in the long on-hold, to enjoy that one. Five seconds in and I was already hooked. I did need some belly tickling laughs after TWOT ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just love JC-T, Li Landi and all in team !
open end. They "walk away into the bright and shimmering future". I'd say it's a dream, like older people have after a stressful life, facing their sunset years, who cast themselves as forever young, forever happy, forever together. It glosses over the possible painful wounds, the perhaps impossible total healing. I'd say it has "sublimation" qualities, but some insist on painting it darker, which is inconsistent with the rest of the story. Since the pair strove always to save lives, why would they cowardly give up on themselves?
Stop your hate ranting please, it is really obnoxious here!Keep your trash advice where it belongs: in the bin…
No. But since you don't hate Chen Zheyuan or Liang Jie, and appreciated Lighter and Princess (it's nothing like it though), you might give TWOT a try. If you tried One and Only and fled because of the triggers of death by a thousand cuts and the princess jumping off from the wall, then be aware that TWOT is triggering too, but the end can be interpreted as open instead of definitely tragic.
I built a Companion piece in Discussions section which you can have a look at, to have an idea. No need to read that first, though, if you dislike spoilers. I tried not to reveal everything so if you just look into it for some background info, section 1, 2 and 3 are best to read first, and 6 about promotion and reception, and 8, about the music. Section 4 and 5 are about more details, so to avoid too many spoilers when you start, read only the parts about when and where the story is set.

But I don't agree. And I know I am not the only one.
And that drama start was so funny. Grrrowl!
(But it's no use arguing with that one...)
