I'm really enjoying it, but I also really like slow burn dramas.
After checking your page...You gave Amidst a Snowstorm of Love 10/10, but you didn't rate Love Me, Love My Voice but that's the level of slow burn this one is, but with a friends to lovers. Just based off of you lists and ratings I think you'll love this one. Depending on how fast you watch I think you could easily catch up to the current release day within a day. So, personally, I would recommend it.

guys...I was not expecting to need to run to the bathroom I was laughing so hard at 53 minutes in on episode 11 🤣🤣🤣💀 yall are not ready. I swear you are not ready when the "star wars" music comes in. 😊

I've never watch one of Miles' period shows, is it normal to dub him in them? I know some actors just don't have the right accent or sound down for period shows so they end up dubbed. I've only ever seen his modern shows where he is definitely not dubbed. Also thanks for your thoughts on the show, very helpful for me to decide whether to start or hold off until it's finished airing.

The Double was the only 5/5 star Cdrama that I watched so far this year. There were a lot that started strong and then took a turn in the mid to last quarter. The only other one that got close was 'Are You the One' because of how well done the acting was for the ML as he struggled to balance his different goals. (but for me there were parts in the storyline/writing that was leaning too far into the "girl boss" trope that seems to have become popular in period dramas, loved the actress, I just think some of the writing fell short at the end.)
'Your Are My Secret' and 'As Beautiful as You' ended up being a 4/5 for one reason or another. When the business romances lean a little too far into the business.
Also the ending of 'In Blossom' was frustrating as all heck so dropping it was probably a good call until they announce a second season.

No news that I could find yet, but it does feel like one they would get the license for tbh.

in a spoiler tag can you tell me how you're liking Echo of Her Voice?

This one is is way spicier than Love of Nirvana...gives a more idol drama feel. But the overall production seems well done. I'm watching both of these shows as well as others. As we enter into our sad/frustrating times on Love of Nirvana I think a kissy melodrama is the perfect pick me up tbh.

I knew Alen always reminded me of someone, but I couldn't put my finger on it until he has a beard in episode 3... he looks so much like Hyun Bin with the added facial hair. They have such similar face shapes.

not using her like a phone stand for a football match....🤣🤣💀

All these men trying to trap this girl in gilded cages. She just wants to be free. The only one who actually calls them out on it is the little doctor-ge. Like he side eyes the crap out of all of them. When he finds out she's stuck in the palace I'm sure he's going to have something to say about it as well.

When you tilt the camera so the framing isn't parallel to the ground(horizon) or subject. It's meant to give a sense of unease or "off-ness" to a scene. Normally used to disoriented the viewer or show that the subject is disoriented.
It shouldn't be used continuously or it loses it's impact.

I'm assuming she's saying that he isn't WuXia and she would know because she is or was married to WuXia. We'll see later today.

should be in episode 24 at least it was in the teaser

There is literally a kiss on a swing in the open credits. Normally in his shows directors will use camera angles and wider shots for kiss scenes so that it can be less invasive/intimate.

Has he ever used his voice in a period show? I have only seen his modern shows use his real voice. I just figured his accent wasn't suited for historical dramas.

It has a love triangle & a slow burn romance. They are more concerned about their personal goals and reaching them at this time. There are feelings that become one-sided and feelings that become mutual, but aren't yet acted on because of circumstances.

there is something about the score(music) that plays during some of the second lead couples scenes that remind me of the score from 'Ever After' I really like it.

I swear i think every other shot is a Dutch Angle...I just...have so many questions...starting with "why". To use it for almost 20 minutes straight is a...choice.

I think of the FL like a bird and look at how they treat her. To me she is like a raven or crow. Intelligent, remembers people and will follow them and give them gifts, but is extremely independent. Will remember wrongs and take revenge.

The 2ML gives her a beautiful gilded cage to keep her safe. But he ends up holding her too tightly so she wont fly away, injuring her in the process. If you hold a bird too tightly you can kill it without even realizing you're doing so.

The ML, first treats her as a pest and bad omen, trying to get rid of her anyway he can. Until ultimately realizing that the bird(FL) can work for him/towards his own goals as it brings him gifts(information) while still letting it have it's freedom.

Starting this week
