Very honest, not-politically-correct drama: What it means to date a sexist player

What it means to date a sexist player.. wow... disgusting.
ALSO, this drama is delulu as it assumes that a man like this could be changed. Heck... most likely NOT

ML is a promiscuous sexist person with like 4-5 other similar guys
The drama has no oblanda and does not even pretend to hide anything, you get a pretty realistic picture of what it means to date a sexist guy who sleeps around for fun and considers that "manly"

So I highly recommend it, so that you can SEE
1 episode of this is enough to get the message

Great idea but ... soooo soapy

i saw this drama years ago and I wanted to come back and watch it, so I did, this year, and dropped it real fast.

The drama is filmed in such sexist way!!!! It is pathetic
FL was quite pathetic

I love acting of the ML actor
but this drama script was so soapy and sexist and I quit

Not interesting to me

I watched first episodes, then fast forwarded through the rest and I watched some of the very last.

I didnt like the plot and the whole war vibe and yeah honestly portraying special forces as liars and cheaters in private life

I didnt like acting of FL and honestly I dislike acting of ML but in this drama he was not terrible
but it was obvious he was a mismatch for FL

I love the music Mare Mohe is one of my fav songs

Unfortunately, this is real :) the drama is frilly but ep 8 from min 31 has THE message

This is so ... well... I dont know how to say it - so revealing of Chinese culture, this very strong belief that this is real. And in fact... it is :)

The filming and topic totally reminds me of Stephen Chow movies, such as Kung Fu Hustle and its dark poor and/or underground hoods. And It has this wickedly twisted dark humor, such as Third Crown Prince looking like a hippie-biker with a lollypop...

The movie has all this glitz special effects
but the value of the movie is the very rare but powerful dialogue, such as Buffy's dying message towards the end of ep 8, starting at min 31.

She asked him to love the world for her, whether it is messy and even the gods cannot do anything about it.
She said: "I that the ones who might really change the world for the better are just ordinary people like us. "

She asked him to wish for world peace. Bc -
An old man told her once:

magic cannot defeat spiritual power,
spiritual power cannot defeat karma,
and karma cannot defeat a wish.
So a person with a wish is strongest of all.

So actually the drama should be rated 10 for the messages
I gave it 8 bc of all the frills :) I watched ep 1,2 and then fast forwarded through all the special effects etc
and watched ep 8

Buffy Chen is an amazing actress, really.
ML actor is ... meh...

Delulu plot but you get watch ML who looks like a real man!!!! not a skinny gilrl.. !

I watched this in April 2026...
1. The drama is a delulu dream of some spoiled immature chick
the only value of this drama is:
2. to enjoy looking at the ML actor. WOW WHAT A GREAT LOOKING ***MAN***!!!!! shoulders, chest, legs, face... of a MAN... not a skinny teenage girl.... the way that all modern actors look!!!!! WHAT HAPPENED IN JUST A FEW YEARS THAT ALL ACTORS LOOK LIKE SKELETONS??? so U G L Y !!!!

3. to realize how handsome actors and actresses ARE and WERE before it became fashionable to look like a skeleton.
ENOUGH OF STARVING THE ACTORS!!!! LET THEM EAT AND LOOK GOOD!!!! NUFF OF SKELETONS ALREADY!!!! it is **** U G L Y ****

PHS looks sooooo handsome and sooooo manly here and also the actress!!!!! and all actors SHOULD have their normal weight.

wow Park Huyn Shin the ML actor - wow he looks awesome! and FL too!!!!! Just in 2022, nobody was too skinny yet!!!!

This is the best ever I saw PHS!!!! He is so atttactive!!! he is bulky enough and he looks like a MAN. Shoulders, chest, legs, face. HE IS A MAN!!!!!

These days, male actors dont look like a MAN but like a starved stray cat. And they all got dark circles under their eyes from all that starving. They are NOT attractive, there i snothing STRONG and masculine about them. No energy, vibrancy, etc.
The only one is Bon Appetit Your Majesty ML, and also Haunted Palace ML. They are the only ones who really looked like energetic men. in the entire 2024-present. Hm this is incorrect. I can think of some others. But too many!!!!

I WISH WE GO BACK TO OLD TIMES STANDARDS, BC TODAY ACTORS LOOK LIKE SKELETONS and it is not so cool at all

PHS here looks like a MAN
adn the lady loooks like a WOMAN - a real woman, not a piece of plastic sugery...

The lady too, has a little bit crooked nose. These days, plastic surgery is so severe, nobody would let her live free like that!!!!!

ML and FL both got muscles on them and they are lively and energetic

Wow this little drama is good enough to just to look at PHS and admire his looks!!!!!

======= AS FOR THE CONTENT: =======
The drama is soooo cheesy.... one of those delulu chick baits "the flawed chick has a perfect guy doting on her FOREVER waiting for her to say yes and being totally loyal only to her. Not even s.x with anyone else for 20 yrs he waits for her."
WOW CAPOOL lol FL script is annoying and unrealistic :) The actress is doing a good job at it and yes she is pretty but... the character is like a little girl :) UNTIL THE VERY LAST SCENE, when she confesses - wow that is one skilled actress!!!! ...

so PHS is a main draw to watch the drama :( to be honest.... The drama is a clickbait for little girls :) and I think PHS knows it, based on how he is acting and clearly pretending and forcing himself.

It seemed to me that PHS is a little bored with this role. This is too cliche and too simple, and not interesting to him. IT IS CLEAR HE KNOWS IT IS A FAKE PLOT lol and that he is used as the eye candy.... And .... Perhaps his real life is not like this so this "quiet good boy" is too ... simple. He looked more interested in Burried Hearts. Well that was a lot more important drama...

The music is AMAZING!!!! it is all classical piano music similar to
Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune
translates to "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun" landmark 1894 symphonic poem by Claude Debussy. It is inspired by Stéphane Mallarmé's poem L'après-midi d'un faune (The Afternoon of a Faun), portraying a faun's sensuous dreams of nymphs

And I am so happy to see the main villain from The Nice Guy!!!! that drama was worth watching just for his performance. Wow that actor has PRESENCE!!!! some real skillZ!!!! even in this little drama, he shines, he is super memorable. Wow great acting skillZ!t acting skillZ!

Flashy catchy bombastic story but mostly without meaning

I watched ep 1-7, 14 of Judge from hell and it was mostly a waste of time, I had to fast forward through most of it, it is not a masterpiece drama in my opinion. It is a little too ... cheesy and gory. It lacks good dialogues. It is flashy catchy stuff but not so ... meaningful. It raises some good questions but the way is too bombastic and sensationalistic. Yeah, FL and ML nailed their roles, but still, ML role does not show him off as well. The drama is made for FL to have fun acting LOL

When I watch something, I ask myself: what am I learning?
and for this drama, I cannot say that I learned anything

It is "fun story" drama without much if any meaning

Delightful *masterpiece*

This drama is so DELIGHTFUL!!!! FL actress is one of my favs. She is a master actor for sure. R * E * S * P * E * C * T!!!! I totally hated ML in 100 Memories and I was convinced back then that he cannot act.... but here - omg he is such a great actor. A very great handsome lunatic lmao Such talent for comedy lmao

I am so much enjoying this show!!!!!!

FL actress is a chameleon, she is always THE character she is acting..... every time.... here it is so funny to see her all meek and subservient.. lmao And I love her street smarts :) XXX OOO XXX
She was the most amazing villain in The Glory.... Great in Nice to Not Meet you but her ML was acting too cheesy and kinda killed it. Here, the ML/FL pair is ***perfect**.
and ML actor and his eyes moving around, e.g. start of ep 3 holding her ... that was soooo hilarious. I am so glad I got to see him in a real role. He is great!

THIS DRAMA IS A MASTERPIECE CLASSIC
and the rating should be a lot higher
i am so grateful we get to watch this. Bravo to the MRN team!!!!

As for rewatch: I think it would be great to rewatch as there are so many nuances in acting

That scene on the roof top at the start of ep 3 was so hilarious and so showing their acting skillZ
and then all the other scenes ... too many to mention... it is totally totally HILARIOUS and deep ... such great acting... and is getting scary as we get to meet the SML/King more and more.. bc he is ... a PSYCHO SOCIOPATHIC MONSTER and seems like harmed FL/ML in the past and now is the chance for them to self defend. I am sure they can, FL can certainly take care of anything lmao Fighting!!!!!

AMAZING! so well done.... until ... ep 6... then you realize this was a collywood delusion

It is really a horror movie in disguise. It is scary and has quite some gory parts. Luckily not tooooo toooooo gory, you can easily skip the gory parts. It is hard though bc they are shown quite fast. Be ready with the fast forward button.

I really like use of makjang acting to act scenes about topics that do not matter, and "acting like in real life" to show topics that DO matter. It makes the drama go fast.

The movie plays on some Chinese / Taiwanese stereotypes that I am not familiar with. Clearly, it is a culture steeped in superstition. There must be some delulu in this drama based on some play on what is true, but I am not familiar to say exactly what.

Like in Western movies, where families are broken and everyone is separate and single and lonely, isolated, depressed; and it is a consumer society where everlasting personal satisfaction happens super fast without any effort, there is this delulu idea of getting all happy bc you found the right person who loves you - and then INSTANTLY AND FOREVER your life becomes supper happy and everything is great for you. This delulu consumerism plot manipulates the true, genuine human need to love and be loved by others.

A good movie might showcase true things that are now considered mystical, like the kung fu powers etc.

So what Chinese delulu AND / OR truth card(s) is this drama playing....?. I dont know. It seems to emphasize the magical power of caligraphy. Which... is true :) and I am not sure about delulus. Perhaps - the power of beer to unite ppl... ? the "masters" are all grumpy... ?

For the first 5 episodes, I thought it was a great drama. Then ep 6 was super cheesy copy of kdramas - going to an amusement park and playing on the claw machine (to claw out a prize out of a glass box full of prizes). I ALSO NOTICED THEY ADVERTISED THE BEER... the dad and son and mother and son drink beer together...

And the story got pretty cheesy... All "help me cases" were obsessions of live people...

Soooo at the end of ep 6, I fast forwarded to ep 12 and found the (dead) dad encouraging the son to drink beer... THAT was a sure sign this drama was totally a trap...

And then I quit. I got tired of ML actor ONLY grumpy face, of drinking beer by manipulation, etc and I quit this as Collywood.

Written after ep 1: this drama uses makjang exaggerated acting to show things that are not important, and "like real life" acting to show what is important. It saves so much time!!!!
Only one half of episode 1 was enough to totally set the background story of ML's life.

The story is well done and the acting is well done for the first 5 episodes. ML is young but that actor is excellent.

But he never smiles and stays super grumpy or the entire drama. One time he smiles, it is visible he has bad teeth. Too bad. He is a handsome guy and a phenomenal actor, he needs to fix his teeth so that he act roles with smiling too. And of course, for his own health.

I got tired of watching his grumpy face all the time. He needs to change facial expressions... imo.

Has so much potential but is ruined by bad directing and script

The "core" of the script plot is great and the actors are very capable - and then all that was just thrown out.... , Some moron made the capable actors act cringe.
ML is made to act poker-faced, 99% limited in his acting and extremely boring cardboard character;
FL is made into a stupid petty damsel in distress in ep 2 in the village /with ML - but she was confident and smart in ep 1 in the city;
and SML is made into a very ... simple fangirl/idol type character. And Ep 2 is filmed in a super simplistic and rather choppy way, and nothing is funny.

To save the drama, ML actor has to be allowed to express as much as possible - make him human!, FL has to STILL have those creative, confident, smart qualities she had in ep 1, and SML needs to be more than just a pretty boy.

To me, ep 1 was so enjoyable bc ML had only comedic scenes in the village, FL had amazing professional success scenes, informative personal scenes, and the villagers provided the energetic, warm scenes.

Then it all fell apart in ep 2.... FL came to the village and behaved like a total loser moron - ah so CRINGE,
ML was grumpy poker faced the entire time - ah so ugly and BORING -
and SML was used as a decorative object for most part. Ep 2 was filmed in a very choppy way and there was nothing funny about it. Even chickens flying around was not funny.

Someone said FL actress was in Doubt. That is a top notch drama. Whoever just turned off her acting capabilities in this drama and made her act the classic sexist "stupid FL" cringe, is a total and complete moron.

I have never seen ML actor before but I highly suspect he can act and wants to act, bc he looks so bored and forced in his overly simplistic poker-faced role, and his only good scene is 1 second of him being a gangster and smiling.

This drama is just throwing great actors to trash. The director is the most at fault, I think, then the script writer.

So I dropped. it is too bad, I wanted to watch this, but life is too short to waste on trash dramas

Even shorter:
Bon Appetit Your Majesty was a super hit bc the open-minded director let ML actor act as much as he wanted, with enthusiasm and energy. That Director was a genius who saw talent and let it shine.

Unlike the director here who is either a caked old geezer without any creativity OR playing it safe and staying commercial mainstream OR totally out of touch with the drama and the actors OR someone with $$$$ told him to make a cliche trash to sell -
in any case;

SOME MORON DIRECTOR IS KILLING THIS DRAMA BY FORCING ACTORS INTO CRINGE ACTING

And the audience is guilty bc Ep 1 was all about strong FL and the audience found it boring - bc audience is sexist as usual -

and audience was shallow as usual, finding villagers boring, finding old people boring, wanting young pretty faces as rich characters in a sleek urban setting - basically their own fantasy about themselves -

and the audience LIKED Ep 2, ML as cold and shut down and FL as stupidly dumb loser who keeps making mistakes and ML saves her - the cliche plot of all trash dramas - and it WORKS - Dynamite Kiss, etc are all such dinosaur cliche sexist trash dramas with huge following -

the Director served in ep 2 what he is sure will work and turned ep 2 into a cliche sexist obsolete trash-drama

the FL is an accomplished actress from a top drama Doubt and her performance in ep 1 of this drama is STELLAR. Whoever throws that talent away is a moron to the max

But the AUDIENCE is driving this drama into mediocrity at best
So the audience needs to cajole the director to let this drama go the way of Bon Appettit Your Majesty
ML actor is energetic, dynamic and I suspect he CAN act, FL actress is a masterful actress, and SML i am sure can act. SO IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE A GREAT DRAMA

Great idea and great message, just a terrible choppy awful acting trash drama

I wish that this drama were great. The message is so wonderful and the world needs to hear it.
Unfortunately the drama is such trash

The acting is sooooo bad.
FL acting is just terrible and the others arent any better, it is so obvious they are PRETENDING something they do not really have any idea about.

The drama is so choppy like a children's play
it is really pathetic

Sorry I really really wish to have a better drama

Wonderful uplifting inspirational story; true friendship of women; some sexism

I have mixed feelings about this drama after all. At first, I loved it. Then, it got too sexist for my taste. Then it got very deep and insightful. ANd then it got super idealisitcally rosey... So...

. It is not perfect ... Quite often - but not nearly as much in many other asian dramas - FL is shown as clumzy clutz naive and does not communicate... but at least it is less than in most other asian dramas.... FL has some common sense. 2FL is shown as a typical kdrama female, totally at the 6-yr old level... until the very very end.... and even then.... FL is not a very intelligent .... she is not a common sense and capable woman... She tries... from her position of poverty, inadequate upbringing, insecurity, and LACK of social skills, thinking skills, physical skills, common sense, and connections....

So I feel pity for Korean women to be portrayed still in ways that show blatant sexism. At least there is some progress and this drama shows it.
There are very deep insightful moments in this drama and it is overall very inspirational, taking us from the bleak sexist corporate situation today to a better future.
SO LET US GO WITH THAT....

I didnt watch it while it was airing bc the writeup made me think it was about some teenagers starting up and that it was too fluffy :(
My loss...

The drama is super cute in many ways. In some ways it made me cringe bc of clutzy loser female leads... and in some ways, it was very deeply insighghtful as "self help" advice for women who want to become more independent, happy and fullfilled and standing on their two feet.

A very valuable thing was to see women helping other women and being true friends. That is rare for women, since women are conditioned to fight for attention, status and MEN who will bring then that status and presitige and privileges. "A woman is nothing without a man" forces women to fight for male attention and it gets really really ugly in real life...
And in this drama, there is ONE snake like that. That was great, the snake is 10000% realistic ....

The FL was the FL in Potato Lab. but this drama is not mostly mindless stupid stuff like Potato Lab. FL in this drama is still somewhat clumzy and stupid though... but not as much as in Potato Lab. Episodes 9-11 are quite stupid, for most part... hiding her dating, etc... Especially when FL does not communicate about the sociopath bully.... That is UTTERLY DUMB.

It is not funny to see an adult woman so clumzy and stupid, like ... pushing a cart uphil with her friend on it and then letting go of handle and letting her friend roll downhill - and DIE. Seeing mindless stuff like that is NOT cute. It is utterly DUMB and horrifying. Qualifies FL for a psych ward for being mentally disabled. And for some kind of award for being physically disabled, not able to move without tripping and breaking something...

Luckily that kind of stuff does not happen all the time in this drama :) FL still has some common sense and more on her feet. ANd still very cute and pretty and charming :) She is a great actress. Well for this kind of role though :) Potato Lab and this are same acting :)

The plot is overall just ... uplifting
Very realistic work situations...

and a wonderful true mature friendship between 3 women

The ending is ... hm... I would want to see another 1 yr out... how did she work it out with a singer who works mostly in the West.... and makes drunk mistakes with fans... with his good looks and veins popping in his forearms and his lovely dovey love songs.... and fans sending flowers etc. Musicans are known for promiscuity... So .. how did this story go ... ? She was seen in Korea afterward, so what happened.... ML was a little overly goody goody LOL it is very rare to find a man - young or old - who will be that dedicated...

So the story is a little bit of fantasy, to think that a woman can get all that attention and totally dedicated guy even if she keeps pushing him away, even though there is NO communication or very little at best. etc.

Mr. Oh story is also a little bit of fantasy :) esp the way that "little 6 yr old girl" was ... Doting on her for a year and a few before that with Wei Lin... ?

So I take this drama as a little bit of hollywood, a little bit too rosey and WHAT YOU WISH HAPPENED

but it is ok, it is a good start in the right direction

THe thing is not to overdo the fantasy and thus make it seem like something bittersweet and actually feeling hopeless because it IS a fairy tale :) All Hollywood leaves that taste - you feel like you were drunk or something, dreaming about something totally unreachable bc everything happens by "luck" and without real effort, it is clearly a mind-fogging brainswashing lull-to-sleep addictive material

There SHOULD BE dramas that talk about solving problems for real.

Many kdramas have at least some of that flavor and that is why they are so popular
But if they become too... roesy cheesy soapy then.... it is not worth watching

Masterpiece in the making!

wow this is amazing, ep 1 shows a new kdrama masterpiece in the making!!!

It is a family drama involving a city family moved to a small village .... so there are tons of fun scenes and actors

The music is sooo fun LOL spaghetti western with the ML village scenes LOL

This is a great comedy. Yeah there are all kinds of real life scenes, but everything is permeated with gentle or raucous comedy

the topics of the drama are not light :) We get to see a corporate-failed dad, school-failed older son, america-failed mom and 2 younger sons, and then ... various mysterious village personas and shady corporate personas....

The drama is really comical yet it is very deep and heavy, actually. That sense of lightness and VIBRANT LIFE PUSHING FORWARD is accomplished by being present in the moment....

Moment-to-moment, we get to see the depth and the lightness and humor in each moment, and the LIFE AND LIGHT that permeates everything and pushes towards healing.

kdramas are masters in that and this is definitely one of those pedigreed masterful kdramas .
It is MASTERFUL STORYTELLING. Showing the muck, the process out, the healing, and the transformation.

I love acting of the ML actor, he is one of my favorites.

I am not sure why it is only 1 episode per week, that is the only bummer.

Overall, this looks like a masterpiece in the making! A really fun drama, deep complex yet fun! The classic kdrama style, talking about super deep and heavy subject with a sense of lightness and humor.

Made for Pursuit of Jade and Hwood fans :)

Hm... This feels like watching... Pursuit of Jade or something like that....
Totally looks like a cdrama. A gaunt girl-like idol-face ML, male idol hype and worship... overly dramatic and self-important ... bombastic sensationalistic "pretty" scenes... plus psycho behaviors from ML and FL, and basically - two arrogant psychos getting together to rule the world.
Those are the hwood and cdrama bombastic details that somehow should serve as "the plot"

This is male idol worship and also worship of the rich and ruling. Just like hwood. For example, the scene of ML parading on that runway to the throne in ep 1 in his flowing robes - ah so mysteriously handsome... not. It is CRINGE.

I don't see dialogues, I dont see messages, I dont see content, the acting is cringe, there is no LIGHTNESS anywhere, it is so heavy and so self absorbed in its own self importance -

just lots of bombastic flashy scenes -

overall, looks and feels like a Chinese military parade or PoJ or some hwood trash - cdrams and Hwood are very similar, if you have not noticed yet :)

I am out of here, this is disgustingly content-free. It is a cdrama in Korean lol or hwood in Korean

TOO MANY RED FLAGS :) pun intented

I JUST READ THE REVIEW BY OPPA_ AND THAT IS THE MOST EXCELLENT REVIEW YOU SHOULD READ TO UNDERSTAND THE UNDERLYING BRAINWASHING OF THIS DRAMA.
>>>>Oppa_ review described in great more detail how Perfect Crown brainwashes ppl into romanticizing autocracy. <<<<<< I refer to it indirectly in my review and leave it to you to figure it out, but Oppa_ describes it straigt on and backs it with historical data.
(Oppa_ is a rather sexist person, based on statements againt women in their posts and reviews, so he/she did not comment on the male worship in Perfect Crown... but you have that in my review.)

Farewell :)

An easy comfortable watch, i.e. good script, good filming, good family drama, lots of good actors

This drama is a breath of fresh air, showing normal people doing normal things, it FLOWS easily and effortlessly.... it is an enjoyable watch. The quality of this drama is on par with any miniseries.
In the Discussion section, ppl say this is an easy watch, bc there are no snags, sufferings, dragging, etc. The drama just flows naturally and easily. That means - good script, good filming, and good acting.

ML starts to be more than just a pokerface around ep 10, and that enlivened the drama a lot. ML-FL and SML-SFL and any combo of those 4 interacting is very fun to watch.

There are plenty seasoned actors in there too, which makes it interesting to watch. My fav is Grandma from the restaurant.

Last but not least, i love the styling in this drama, each character has unique and consistent styling that makes the character more believable.
The camera and production are great too, visually it is seamless and interesting.
and the music is really fun, really matches the plot

overall, highly recommended so far

This is a classy drama on par with any drama out there

It is only 9 bc there was some cringe with FL in early episodes, she was .. hm.. immature... and ML was poker faced snotty snub and hat was just boring and ugly...
and luckily, ML became a lot more lively and FL dropped the cringe, and how those two play off each other is just HILARIOUS. They are a very endearing and fun couple

ML actor has a knack for acting friendly scenes, he is very charming and endearing, and FL bounces off him in most hilarious ways' and SML and SFL are acted perfectly. So it is fun to watch

====
I am starting to sync up with this drama because it is normal and pleasant and comfortable and ML finally started to wake up, so the scenes ML-FL and SML-SFL and any combo are totally hilarious and well done. I loved the senior home, ride home and the restaurant. The arrows were HILARIOUS :) I loved grandma and grandpa in bed. It is nice that Uncle and Aunt also love each other, and have a good bed life too. I like how the drama is showing love in many different ways.
In terms of looks, this is a well done drama, everyone is styled perfectly, so it is a PLEASURE to look at them. I love the "prefection" look of SML and her classy outfits, hair and jewelry, and I love the vibrant energetic look, smile and white teeth of SML who just exudes good health, and I love his clothes, looks really good on him,
and today I was studying fashion, ML looks good in light blue shirt and shiny jacket. and FL is actually cute and her clothes fit her character. I love the navy vest and blue-gold tie of SML's dad.

ML is excellent in "friendly" scenes, that is where he really shines and is super cute and charming. The serious snotty poker face scenes just are NOT for him. Then he is just a scrawny little nothing. The drama should let him go free with displaying good times and affection and humor. The bike ride home was HILARIOUS :) That's why I want to feed him and send him surfing, he gotta keep up with that strong lady.
Bc ML woke up, FL can now act more. FL actress has many facial expressions and really has fun acting off ML, and is great for comedy. I am enjoying watching her bc she is so lively and energetic.

I love watching the Grandma next door :) she is fun

No content... flashy scenes, fake acting, silly dialogue

Well this is like a slide show of very sensational and/or pretty images, whizzing by fast...
The acting is sooooo fake... soooo cringe... ough bad!!!
and the dialogue is super simple and rather silly

it is just over the top bombastic and dramatic
I doubt there is any humor in this or any lightness

it is great for audience that cannot focus on acting
Basically a short vertical but in a long format.

PURSUIT OF JADE - wow what a scam lmao
I just read an article about Chinese government's public announcement asking for focus on good scripts rather than just looks ... and millions of fans, international too, are saying they just care to see a pretty face and how the ML actor is so beautiful...

I would say to idol fans swooning over the "beauty" of these Chinese actors: Capool beautiful LMAO Chinese military publicly complained about ML not looking like a man... Indeed, he looks like a porcelan doll skinny sickly teenage girl .... yeah with tons of makeup...

Gees, I found myself symphatizing with Chinese military and Chinese government LMAO Never ever expected that :) but on this issue, I totally see their point :)
And I wish them good luck... It is their fault they dumbed down the ppl so much that this is happening... the people do not have any interest to think about deeper subjects and they only care to swoon over some pretty boys.... HOW COME IDOL FANS ARE NOT PROTESTING THE WAR IN IRAN OR GENOCIDE IN GAZA - OR THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT? but are playing hookie worshiping porcelan-pretty faces?...

So funny, the cover photo for the "popular actors" shows 4 ppl 2 men and 2 women - who look almost identical... And inside the article, all these ppl look alike.....

The new trend is a triangular jaw and a unisex look, same for men and women... and they all look like porcelan dolls and like teenagers... They look like they came out of a cartoon..... So weird

So unhealthy.. they all look super skinny, like starved teenagers...

And even a funnier thing, the West is swooning over a cdrama, so communism WON globally LMAO
Pursuit of Jade is the best terrorist attack from China, ever LMAO
Holywood is dead and China gets to brainwash the world! Lol but with Holywood-like dramas lmao No content, just the looks and hype

THE WEST HAS SWITCHED TO CHINESE !!!!
The idol fans are great at spreading Chinese influence :) I never expected this but there we go

I wonder what will come out of this - world peace OR spread of Chinese communism lifestyle.. OR... spreading Hollywood under Chinese name... ?
Let's see :)

Also, Chinese seem to be only able to protest their government by choosing to watch these Hollywood-like delulu shows focused on the shallow ideas of some external beauty and without any meaningful messages.

This is certainly going somewhere....not good lmao

Creative amazing storytelling kdramas are going extinct... The ingredients of a good story:
part 1: flaws,
part 2: falling and having to try hard to get up
part 3: transformation
are to be found only in kdramas.
Unfortunately, new kdramas tend to focus only on the Holywood recipe to show only the TWISTED PART 1: flaws and making more and deeper flaws...

as the Hwood fans switch to ASIAN DRAMAS WITH HWOOD FEEL - essentially Hwood minus too much s.x and violence - the ex-Hwood ppl bring their preferences ... and since the West has the $$$$$$$$ and hundreds of millions of users... they call the shots

Asian dramas are going Hwood way. The totally wicked unexpected twist is that Cdramas - as most fake, silly, dramatic, shallow, meaningless, and sensationalistic - are closest to Hwood so ppl love them LMAO

This turn of events is better than any drama out there LMAO but it is actually scary and sad.
Idol fans are blind and irrational, and lack common sense and objectivity , so them overtaking the world is a scary thing

So let us see what happens :) The way it is going, this is my prediction:
THE IDOL FANS WIN :) ultimately, as the world slides into Idiocracy, 2006 american movie, or american movie Equilibrium, but not quite, bc ppl will be like porcelan dolls and not able to live their own lives.

Eventually one day everything will look like that cheesy cdrama, just a bunch of fast whizzing images and nobody thinking. Then the whole world will collapse and we EITHER enter Matrix movie or everything disappears and humans start from scratch
