This is badly directed. If one actor overacts it might be the actor, but when all but a couple of characters are hamming furiously you know the director is a fool 😆

I love Ju. Her overacting was actually cute.

I like the fantastic story, given this problem. It’s sufficiently over-the-top to make the scenery chewing tolerable, because there’s a comic book vibe to it.

The rating is a good general indicator, though sometimes it’s about problematic characterisation or disturbing plot, rather than quality of production and acting. Reading the comments is how I decide in the end, but I completely bypass dramas with less than 7. It’s like the first pass filter. So far this drama has no really bad points, though it’s not outstandingly good either. I read the comments to decide I wanted to start watching it, but if the score had been lower I wouldn’t even have bothered doing that.

I’m thinking Knight has liked Mild since they were kids, but didn’t say anything because of his age. He possibly told Mud though. That would make their tension more understandable to me.

Me too. The chopping and changing is unsettling, once you’re invested in one situation.

Aside from the Per character being annoying as hell I’m liking this, but the acting isn’t amazing. Mild has the excuse of inexperience, but for someone playing first lead in his debut he’s incredibly composed. He might end up being really good. Knight is the most appealing character for me. Very straight forward and sincere.

Not really. She’s been giving Per the stink-eye every time she’s seen him with Kan. I’d like to see her hook up with Great though. She’s a poppet.

I concur on all points. Knight is definitely my favourite character. Per’s too handsy and too much of a tease. His sincere, sweet moments don’t change that for me.

I’m not talking about force. I’m talking about consent. Failing to get consent isn’t always about brutality. Sometimes it’s about boundaries, respect, and consideration with regard to what is okay or not.

Tuo needed a lesson about consent. I’m glad he got the brakes put on him.

Which city is the beautiful shot from episode five taken in? It comes immediately after the staff in the foyer are gossiping.

I have an audio processing problem, so it makes it impossible to hear voices properly. I’m not a Mandarin speaker, so I use subtitles anyway, but with some scenes hearing the speech is important, even so.

Believe whatever you want. If it’s ambiguous then it’s considered unimportant, so odds are the least controversial explanation is correct, but if you want to clutch your pearls just believe the worst and go to it. It’s not like they’ll be having kids together…

Martin’s acting is abysmal. He makes my teeth itch. I’m giving up on this series. It’s a shame, because Fan is delightful as Haiyuan. I just hope he gets a decent co-star next time.

Was the grandson wearing the magic contact lenses at the time?

I see Satoh, I watch. The original Korean version of this was quite good, and I’ve seen a Cdrama that closely resembles this plot line, but I’ll definitely check out this version 🙃

He’s a rare talent.

Oh, I see. Thanks ☺️

How to get the title corrected? Trajectory…

Depression isn’t a mood. It’s a disease. Being strong is an incredibly unhelpful approach to mental illness. It hides the fact that things are not okay. Accepting you’re ill, and seeking treatment is a much better approach. It’s okay to not be okay. That’s the only way to get help.

It is! It’s also Ace, trans, cis, and straight. It’s rainbow-like in its spectral nature.
