Is this real? Zhou Yutong and Liu Xueyi will look great together IMO... if the cast is confirmed, that is. Also does anyone know what the novel is about?
Why did they cast someone so much older than Baijingting? Plus this is supposed to be a young girl role. Song…
4 years is not "so much older" lol. With an age difference like that, it's usually impossible to tell two people are not the same age. A 29-year-old could easily pass for 31, and so could a 33-year old.
In any case, historical cdramas love to pretend their protagonists are in their late teens, but the actors are almost always much older than that. Liu Xueyi is 32, but he played a 17-year-old character in The Blood of Youth. And Song Yi played a young newlywed in Luoyang and was totally convincing. I thought she looked quite youthful too.
People on MDL really need to stop hating female actresses and saying they're not good enough to share the screen with the fans' male crushes. It's really sad to see.
Like I said the FL actress's act is very unnatural, awkward, and forced. The actress that plays her servant has…
She’s perfectly fine and doing a good job. I’ve never once noticed her acting ‘unnaturally’ or whatever. You seem biased against the actress for some reason.
Okay so I know the ML is scared that his best friend will betray him but at this point it’s starting to feel…
Yeah, I think episode 5 had a couple of moments where the crown prince was shown to be too uptight and unbending for his own good: when he showed zero understanding for his friend's situation even though it was an inconsequential and very human mistake that Sergeant Han admitted to, and also when he acted all judgy in the tavern.
I assume the point of establishing this trait of being unable to sympathise with other people so clearly this episode was to set him up for character development later, but I really hope he'll grow up before his paranoid and pitiless attitude pushes Sergeant Han to commit actual treason because you're right, the crown prince is very much alienating his best friend and ally himself right now. I'm afraid by the time he recognises the effect of his actions it might be too late to salvage their relationship.
I'm ready for the Proi-Trai Romeo and Juliet subplot to kick off. Also I can sense we're getting close to Lin learning about Nammon, which will hopefully bring her and Pi closer together. They need to admit they like each other! There are too many annoying secondary characters buzzing around them like flies for them to keep having communication issues.
I’d never recognize the actor who plays the ML, if. had not checked his older dramas. LSK chooses always as…
Kim Youngkwang is at least as famous in Korea as Lee Sungkyung if not more lol. Just because you don't know who he is doesn't mean he's some kind of hidden gem who's trying to break out.
Just read about this "controversy" and I'm amazed it exists at all...? He slept with someone once? OK...?
The fact he's been blackmailed and is now in trouble over the mere fact he had sex with someone once is insane to me. I hope everyone involved in manufacturing this scandal, from the person who took pictures of him in bed for blackmail to her husband to the media company that decided to release them suffers consequences. I'm not even a huge CFY fan (I did like him in Ever Night and L&P, but I'm too old to stan actors or follow their personal lives), but this is a completely unacceptable way to treat people just because they're famous. Chinese celebrity culture is so toxic.
can someone plz suggest a drama where the male lead in a position of power catches feelings but it's not enemies…
lol wait, do you think Our Blooming Youth is an enemies-to-lovers romance? If some initial tension/distrust between the leads is your definition of enemies to lovers, there are very very few dramas without it, especially if you also want the protagonists to be star-crossed lovers who are not supposed to be together.
I know this is a minority opinion, but if there has to be a remake of a royalty romcom, I wish it was My Princess and not Goong. Goong's plot and the relationship dynamics between the leads are so dated; unless the writer majorly updates some stuff I expect it to be bland and annoying like the dozens of Boys Over Flowers remakes they keep pumping out.
The plot seems decent. Nothing new, just nothing bad either. How they'll stretch it for 20 episodes idk. That's…
I’ll never understand why people on this site love Pyo Yejin so much, or why they always express their love through unearned comparisons to others. She’s a pretty and talented girl, don’t get me wrong, but she’s definitely not “outperforming” the rest of the cast with her acting or her looks as people claim relentlessly in the comments of every drama she’s in.
That’s terrible. I saw both of the leads being bashed for their looks.
You do realise that all three of these actors are very handsome and arguing over which one is most or least attractive is ridiculous because that's a matter of personal preference, I hope.
I've been missing meaty, dramatic sageuks that don't foreground romance in recent years. Politics, investigation, amnesia, great. And Seo Inguk is a charismatic actor who can do a lot with a role like that IMO. This looks really promising!
Perhaps you don't understand that she is human and not robot. She had already lost her husband and that is why…
Losing her husband is not an excuse for being a useless narcissistic parent who sabotages her child's life and burdens everyone around her with her unreasonable demands and tantrums.
I'm on ep. 5 and I have absolutely no sympathy for Xia Jie's mother. She's a selfish, emotionally manipulative monster to her daughter and I'm supposed to feel bad for her because her husband died? Lady, it's been over 10 years; get a fucking grip and stop suffocating your child. XJ's superiors at work are garbage too and I can't wait for her to find a way to circumvent their infuriating sexism and condescension.
Also I'm more interested in Yang Shu and Zhao Jiwei, who seem introspective and thoughtful, than in Li Dawei, who's reckless and arrogant. I hope he gets some character development quick and the other two also get their own story arcs.
The biggest news for me here is that OCN are still making/airing dramas. I thought their production department had been absorbed by tvN? This is good news if true, though, because tvN only have so many drama slots in their weekly schedule and they already make their own stuff, so I thought OCN-style crime dramas would be squeezed out. It was so nice to have a dedicated channel that would be airing 1-2 crime/action/mystery dramas at all times.
Why on earth was FL unable to decline the feelings of SML?Like cant she say no?Is just the ML she finds the courage…
I hate this trope where the FL is too indecisive, self-sacrificial, considerate or whatever to reject the unwanted advances of some random scrub, so he becomes her boyfriend even though she has no interest in him, but she has zero consideration for the feelings of the one person she likes and can be mean to him and jerk him around without ever questioning her actions. It's such an old-school dynamic and it always makes me root against the main couple. If the protagonist doesn't actually put in any effort to be happy with the person she loves and keeps ignoring her feelings, why should I care about them?
