The director told Jasper to imagine himself like a hooligan to get in the role because Chu Kehuan is dangerously…
This is my first Drama with Jasper Lui starring in it and he does a fantastic job. With another actor, there would be the tendency to agree with some of the other comments that the main male lead gives off strong creeper vibes. Watching his subtle expressions, I take the opinion that he sees the female lead as kindred spirit in that their life has become a series of schedules and appointments. In my opinion, both actors do an excellent job of conveying how they are slowly dying an emotional death and really, really want to feel again.
It honestly took until episode 8 for me to get invested. The acting is top notch but it was hard to like and sympathize…
I love the differing opinions that are found on this site. After five years of binging and obsessing over dramas, I can't do the "cutesy" female role any more. Sometimes it's done well and fits with the story, but the female character that suffers innocently through jealousy, backstabbing and the occasional slap but understands that person didn't mean it....I'm usually throwing something at the tv.
i'm conflicted about whether or not i enjoy this drama, i'm giving it the benefit of the doubt now, seems a lot…
It honestly took until episode 8 for me to get invested. The acting is top notch but it was hard to like and sympathize with Lee Yeon Seo's character. That being said, by episode 8, I'm all in.
The production conference news has already said that this drama will challenge moral boundaries, it's gonna be…
I started watching Korean dramas and then headed towards Chinese. After three viewing years, I hate like crazy the sugary sweet plotlines where everyone just hugs it out in the last episode. "Before We Got Married" is definitely a breath of fresh air displaying a realistic slice of life and I agree, I don't think they are going to sugar coat the cheating aspect at all.
After 5 episodes, this is my verdict:1. Bad acting, especially by the main male lead, Jeremy Xu.2. Bad logic.3.…
I've seen the first two episodes and liked it but definitely agree with your points. Since this is labeled a tragedy, I'm not sure how the story line can go in that direction.
I didn't watch it because I'll probably break my TV hahaha.....but I saw clips on IG and the actors are wonderful....…
I laughed out loud on your comment of "I didn't watch it because I'll probably break my TV". I usually cannot handle dramas that end tragically because the ending interrupts the overall storyline. This show was the exception because it wouldn't have made sense to have them holding hands, skipping away in the sunset. That being said, over two months later and I'm still thinking about the characters and the haunting "what if" . I can't wait to find the next one that is this good.
I was definitely a minority in being disappointed by "What's Wrong With Secretary Kim". I thought the acting was, as usual, fantastic by Park Min Young and Park Seo Joon, but the storyline was lacking. Because I love Park Min Young, I decided to try "Her Private Life" and am very glad that I did. Unlike "Secretary Kim", the writing in this drama is a slow burn and solid. The chemistry between the two leads is insane but, as you stated, the "Cindy" character gets on my nerves. I'm hoping the writers can figure out a way to push her story arc into something interesting. Thanks so much for your article! I truly enjoyed it!
This drama was originally to be played by Chen Kun and Fan Bing Bing for the male and female leads. https://youtu.be/dv_RMTo0XOACannot…
No......just, no. Other actors would have played these parts, Chen Xing Xu and Peng Xiao Ran became the characters. I've yet to see their professional equal in a drama.
Amazon is now streaming episodes of "Good Bye My Princess"! I'm hoping they can pick up the market that DramaFever let go and get more Chinese dramas translated.
Hey folks, any recommendations for another good and recent/airing drama, especially costume/historical ones? For…
He is Psychometric (Korean, 2019, modern setting) Across the Ocean to See You (Chinese, 2017, modern setting) An Oriental Odyssey (Chinese , 2018, Wuxia) Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (Korean, 2016, Historical)
Scarlet Heart has a very similar vibe and historical storyline as Goodbye My Princess and it's 20 episodes long. Give it a try if you haven't watched it.
You are amongst friends in this forum. I've watched the damn thing twice and still going back for a third time.…
Episode 48 - I watched the english subbed version around 1:30 pm and had to pick my son up from school at 2:30. You have no idea the amount of people who looked in my car and then pointed, mainly because the mascara was running down my face and I was trying to hold my breath so I wouldn't go into a full blown crying meltdown. It took 3 days before I could rewatch the episode.
So, I'm trying other dramas. Some Korean, some Chinese. Some are funny and others dramatic but none immerse me in the story like "Good Bye My Princess". It's like finding a person you love and adore substituted with a cardboard cut out. I had no idea how much this story has raised the bar of my drama expectations.
