Mind you her parents are business people, they wouldn't waste a lot of money just to spoil their daughter. Reason rich business people are rich and stay rich is because they actually know where, how, and when to use and earn their money.
Something I noticed while rewatching -- Esther and He Yu complement each other's acting strengths and weaknesses:As…
That’s actually surprising, because I’d say the opposite. I think her micro-expressions have improved compared to her previous dramas. Where it falters for me is her voice, especially when MuMu is supposed to be 19 to 20. There needed to be more balance in her tonality. She leans into a high-pitched, overly cute voice to position herself in the “little sister” role, but at times it goes too far. I wasn’t hearing a sheltered young adult. I was hearing someone closer to 10 to 16. It felt very aegyo, in Korean terms.
That said, I understand the complexity of portraying MuMu. She’s meant to come across as spoiled and sheltered, someone going through a coming-of-age while still psychologically stuck in the memory of being the little sister from ten years ago. I also think part of the issue lies in the writing. The lines themselves lack a clear intention toward innocence, and instead end up sounding childish.
However, during serious and crying scenes, she majorly improved in that part, I would say.
The year is 2026 and women still have it tough! Every time Esther has a successful drama the sentiment is the…
Some have called her acting cringe, but there is literally a whole team filming that acting and approving it. Film is a business industry not a playground where anyone can just do whatever they want. There people who actually care to do this work and they have materials to refer to have everything right ie. the original novel. There is huge money involved here. Esther is an employee whose job is an actress, where casting directors, producers, scriptwriters have to approve if they are suitable for the role or not. A lot has this misconception that just because she comes from a wealthy family, all of a sudden she runs the whole show.
People who are just here to hate on Esther, no one is holding you at a gun point to watch this drama nor even engage with any drama series or post about Esther. I don't understand why you would watch someone you don't like nor is catering to you. Let others who actually enjoys watching her work in peace. If you need attention go look elsewhere.
Previously before the release of Speed and Love, a rumor about Scriptwriter & Co-director/creative director: Zhao Xiao Lei having dispute with Esther Yu due to creative difference were spread around making Esther Yu to look like a diva on set is now proven false. With Zhao Xiao Lei saying in an interview:
"I was especially happy watching Yu Shuxin play Jiang Mu."
"She can evoke all my emotions."
"I think it was a great success. This actress is incredibly talented; her emotional delivery is so powerful." "And the chemistry between the two, I think, mainly comes from Xin Xin. When she can capture all your emotions, it's easy for her to create a romantic connection with the male lead, and their pairing is very convincing."
I'm so late to this for no reason I keep getting spoiled by social media 😭. But anyways, just finished episode 16, and damn that was a rollercoaster. I was kicking my feet, smiling from ear to ear, giggling and then all of a sudden, my girl 😭 legit my smile faded so quickly. Anyways Merry Christmas to you guys out there!
Blessed this drama for being released during my break 🙇🏻♀️😭. I just finished episode 15, it was the longest episode 🤭 lmao, I have been gasping for air, hitting the air, if I died from this, I can happily peace out. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥. It's winter here but I needed the AC lmao 🤣
I miss and need Cheng Yi to do romance, like actual passionate, maybe angst, and loving romance. Like immortal samsara and love and redemption. Please God someone write a good freaking romance script and let Cheng Yi + his agency read it and make him do it!
