completely agree and am waiting for Ren Yun Jie (I think that is his name the ML from EitDN) to star in another one like that (Fascination)

always open! I like costume, romance, historical and time/reality bending things. Got something to recommend?

if it's anything like Embrace in the Dark Night, I am in!

anybody knows what this is about? I am following the actor

I hear you. some short dramas and even mini or micro dramas are fantastic, both in script and acting, but there is a plethora of mediocre and downright ridiculous productions. Actually, I am grateful for anything shorter than 40 episodes and an hour long because these short nonsense dramas taught me how to drop stuff that 1) I don't enjoy or 2) really does not represent any standard. 😁 Have you seen Embrace in the Dark Night? Completely idiotic plot, but boy, the music, the romance scenes, wow!
Do you enjoy watching anything else concurrently? There is literally nothing major or earth shattering good that airs right now (in the genre that I like) so I am looking for inspiration

Next to Erniu from Si Jin and Ermao from Legend of Female General the puppy gets my nomination for the best supporting actor.

I am agreeing with the first paragraph. Other than that - just watching the puppy and editorial snafus involving said puppy.

😁😂👍Although I have to say - this one is not as good as I thought it would be. In the first 3 minutes of ep 1 you have enough stuff to give a viewer vicarious PTSD, but then they try to make it into a comedy? I am not sure I see the reason for making her an amazing cook other than dying old man calling for more food or ML recognizing FL by the tofu flower in such underwhelming way. I am going to wait when all eps are out to then see them in one swoop. At this point while I like actors, the story and characters are not that outstanding.

I love your comments. and this dude as long as he is not a psycho

because they are the same sexy hunks. DGC is a body trainer so his torso is definitely better, but they really practiced making on line kisses look like the real thing.
I feel for Yan Zi Xian's contract calamity - he had to play such bad character last year in Love and Bid Farewell. I nearly puked and started to fear his dramas. Tong Tong will make any role look like she is it so I don't worry about her but YZX may become persona non grata because of these funky roles

oh yea! she is really good there.

hey, can you share your thoughts on what they did with the drama vs the novel? I really did not like how the drama was created, but I bet the book was great. I can see that Female General would be at a risk to glorify the roles for the sake of the actors like in The Double. but hope it won't be the case. After the drama (The Double) I am not sure I want to read the novel... what do you think?

came to look for this author after reading Legend of Female General and Deng Hua Xiao. This author writes really well. Off to read malicious Empress and Reborn Noble Girl (Glory)

heck yes! I am around ch 95 and it is chillingly good

There is no synopsis so here is a prologue: during Liang Dynasty plague a 9-year-old who somehow does not get sick sells herself as a slave to a miracle doctor in exchange for saving her family. Her parents, older sister and brother survive, but the girl disappears... She becomes the doctor/poison master's 17th test subject (the previous 16 all dead already). Very unlike the boy in Joy of Life, she suffers all kinds of torture including being abandoned in the wilderness to fend for herself, fed poisons that make her want to kill herself, etc. -all before turning 12 years old, which is a huge set up for having a FL with childhood trauma and personality disorder, namely sociopathic behaviors. But when her master dies 7 years later, she goes back home only to find cold cinders and ashes of the house and the news that within one year her older sister married into a merchant family in the capitol, died there, her brother (a gentle scholar) became a wanted criminal and was executed - also in the capital, her father on his way to capitol to save his son met with bandits on otherwise peaceful river and was killed, and her mother collapsed from all the calamities and died in the fire which she probably caused herself. The girl (described as a spitting image of Ju Jing Yi - very attractive but puny) goes to capitol to seek truth,... where the plot thickens.
How do you like it so far?
If Li Yun Rui could play her counterpart - the guy who is very suspicious of her, distanced and smart - I would watch it in an instant!

and that is what gives ML actor such an incredible range of performance in GIM: shy guy, bold girl, man in love, woman enamored, man sacrificing himself for the woman he would never get.

do you mean season 2? I thought he was much better as the courtesan at the beginning than the swooning lover boy later. Tong Tong was fantastic in there and the 3 of them tied together wanting to go to the bathroom was awesome!

if you talk to men privately about their fantasy - good girl that is bad only for him plus mommy to take care of him and a whore who can do for him what he only dreams about and does not mind being treated certain way. Don't get me wrong - we all have fantasies and bondage, or dominance is fine if both agree to it; I just don't like stupid violence.

did. I watched all his dramas. THe Girl inside me was one in a lifetime showcase of his capacity. I am asking about this

he is a character actor and plays same stuff over and over again. Sorta like Li Fei, but Li Fai has the kissing and looking down at her lips down pat. Nobody does it like him!
