I’m somewhat impressed by how much Chen Zhe Yuan (ML) is able to express, with only his eyes visible.
after watching him in TWO I am really impressed with his acting ability. i think this was just too easy for him!!! he still puts everything into it though. this show is more like a kid's show i think.
Lighthearted drama good enough to pass time. It's a good story and the average acting makes it a good filler while…
I really liked her in Douluo Continent. She is good in this, and the character can be likeable, but by Ep 14 with the dishonesty and the date drugging (!!!!) I was fed up. Not nice!
character representation is one of the most impotent part of Visual Drama. in this area production did a brilliant…
Important V Impotent: Quick English Lesson! impotent = lacking power, especially physical and masculine important = significant, meaningful, higher priority than other things Your English is good ☺️ I don’t want you to make an embarrassing mistake with native speakers… Best wishes xo 😘
I enjoyed reading your review even when we had a slight difference of opinion. I fully support CZY’s authentic portrayal and agree that he hit it for 6. I would like to write a detailed review but due to my own issues and the many triggers along the way, I finished the drama with nothing left in the tank. The drama did an excellent job of outlining different causes for PTSD, across age groups and life experiences; the writing even went so far as to show all the different ways people in our social circles react- eg parents, step-parents, siblings, colleagues, bosses, right out to passers-by and consumers. I did give up part way through when adolescent issues around PTSD from bullying on one hand, and from loss of family members and life stability on the other. This was I think because I had no expectation or particular desire to see adolescent experiences included in the story. But after a short break I got back on my horse and finished it. I’m glad I did. As difficult as it was, it taught me an important lesson about myself, and this is where you and I diverge in opinion. Whilst it certainly was tedious and frustrating when the main characters were overly polite to the point of dishonesty about their health, suffering and recovery requirements, ***this is exactly what my PTSD response is like***. So even as I was watching them and urging them mentally to burst the dam and tell each other the truth so they could support and help each other - *** I knew that IRL I would do the exact same thing***. Even though I could clearly see how it delayed the healing of those fictional characters, I couldn’t bear to drop that burden on a loved one in real life, knowing that what is heard, seen or shared can never be taken back, and not wanting to cause additional stress or pain to someone I care about who has already been worried enough. On a separate note, I love that you raised the lawsuit issue, and also the matter of the hospital having no security staff or sense of order. It bothered me but as I have no experience of the hospital system in China I would not be able to comment in any qualified way. Here in Australia it would have been very different. Thank you for your helpful review which gave me the courage to affirm my personal experience and the way it corresponded with the drama. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🐨🦘😎
it rather depends why you are watching the show. If you don’t mind a show that explores the nuances of PTSD,…
I stuck with it and I’m glad I did. Sadly, the ending has been ruined for me by all the folks that put spoilers in their comments! I think the exploration of different aspects of PTSD is excellent; also the acting and chemistry are excellent, as you said. I just found all the stuff about internet comments, high school bullying and unrealistic depictions of the way an experienced journalist would deal with those things to be off putting. Glad that part is over.
I sorta finished it. I got to ep 10 but the dynamic between ML and FL was just not enough for me to push through…
I feel the same - leads are great but I don’t want to work so hard to watch a show. I was hoping for more of Benjamin and Sixan but the side stories and characters wore me out in the meantime. 😿
I’m up to about e15 after the bullying fiasco. I’m a bit fed up. is it worth sticking around for the rest? This show really runs aground away from the main plot/setting. Any thoughts? 🙏
I’m on E21. Can anyone tell me what “Hanya” means? is it an ethnic group? I don’t understand what Yi Si is saying about living in the dark etc. Thank you 🙏 🇦🇺🐨🦘
I swear I am trying to enjoy it coz I only came for Jian Ci 🥰🥰🥰🙈but it is soooooo hard.😢
He’s a great actor, but sadly, I had to give up on this show. I just can’t stand the female roles and the clunky jokes about maids/beauties etc. TJC is great of course. A real shame.
PBG, I’m grateful for your review. I was excited to see a new TJC series and it looked so funny. But then I dropped at E1! Tried again after a while and am now dropping at E5. I thought FL did a good job in To the Wonder, but her character is awful in this; the manipulation, dishonesty, disrespect and even stealing from Mo Yuan…. is it supposed to be cute? I like how you summed it up as bad writing, superficially ticking some female gender role box but actually undermining women’s roles in texts by depicting them as girly abusers. Yuk.
