jov ☀️@wonwoncity·39mactress wen zhengrong (mother in law) is the cutest!! she was celebrating #LovesAmbition…
I love her so much. She's so giving to her scene partners. She's taken so many newer actresses under her wing when working together. The Glory wasn't the same once she was done with her character's arc.
Isn't it too much with a genres like this for 32 eps? Maybe it would be better like Anna which has 6-8 eps so…
The kiss feels bland because it's performative. The characters are both not acting like their true self. There is a layer of falseness to their relationship. They don't actually understand romantic love yet, so it's going to translate in the performances from the actors.
I'm hoping that we get to see from Hao Ming's POV when Yan first enters his orbit. We already know that he was watching her before she realized with their first conversation. But I want to know when he really started to dig into her family background.
He's repeatedly mentioned things are her work that he shouldn't know. Even mentioned having a source, while playing it off as a cute little inside man. But these are all huge red flags and should have put her on a little bit more of an alert if she was truly as scheming as people would lead you to believe.
She's not a pathological liar. The main lies she tells revolve around her past trauma with her parents, and to prevent herself from being bullied by kids in the neighborhood. When she's trying to get interviews or guests for her show she lies a bit to get an in...but it feels more like a journalist going after a story than trying to do any harm.
But the one thing that I think no amount of private investigation can uncover is Yan's real feelings about her relationship with her family. HaoMing thinks she's always acting/lying, and in a way she is. She's acting like who she thinks she should be and not like who she really is. We constantly see her holding herself back from expressing anything. For all we know he just thinks of her as an easily moldable gold digger. But what he doesn't know is that she was never after his money or status...she just wanted a family to love her and a place to fit in that her real family could never dream of touching. I'm looking forward to getting more of his back story about his ex and his dynamic with his son. (Apparently Chen being his son was not common knowledge) If his ex-wife used him and then abandoned their son I could maybe understand him a bit more. But Hao Ming and Yan can never be close if they are constantly hiding their true selves from one another. Love the performances from the actors because they are really pulling off the restrained and performative manners so well.
The fact that William actually resembles Johnny from NCT is what makes me question OP's eye health. Maybe I'm bias because I've been watching William for years and know what he can deliver....idk.
It's always a pleasure to watch her, I'm so glad she's back, I hope William doesn't pale next to her.
He always stands his own. The first bit is going to be mainly from her POV(and focused on her) so he's going to feel more like a supporting character for a bit, but that's simply how the story is meant to unfold.
I've watched up to episode 6 and I think I'm going to wait it out a bit more to catch up because I can see HaoMing entering his villain era and I just don't think I can take all the people plotting and manipulating Yan right now. I love that our two leads are both grey characters and that they will go through many transformations, but lord knows I need to see that the tunnel has an end before I just go off into the darkness.
Oh no. It's not going to be a weekly release. It's just going to be a season dump. I hate it when netflix does this. It doesn't allow for fandom building or viewer building. And then they use those first week numbers as the end all be all analytic
This the correlation/connection chart of all the characters. Apparently it's a spoiler given how everyone jumped down my throat for daring to ask the above question without it being spoiler tagged. https://kisskh.at/photos/yW8N41_3
not the one here at least anymore. the first time i looked this drama up over a year ago either on this site or another it mentioned the characters relationships more. also I was asleep & then working, no need to yell at someone when a simple "hey, might want to mark this as spoiler"
umm....it was in the synopsis for years. I thought this was known information that was intrinsic to the story. like this was the very first information I learned about his character when the show was originally announced to be filming.
i feel like haoming already knows everything about her and that she lied
It's been implied multiple times even in the first few episodes that HaoMing is extremely similar to Yan when it comes to observation, calculation, and information. He knows things and plays it off as a coincidence, like the fact his mother was cornering her, dropping teasing hints that he has someone giving him information inside her own company about her...etc. He's also already shown that he has more than one side. His own passion and the thing he feels the most control over, the Agave shop or whatever it is he's doing, and the rich heir to his father's empire who though gives good advice is still treated like a kid who is still learning the ropes. I feel like later on multiple masks will be dropped.
I'm only on episode 3, but I'm wondering if we'll ever get a POV shift over to what's going on in Shen YaoMing's mind. We have insights really only from Yan's POV. So I'm interested to see how he sees her and his situation.
Is Lusi playing for now the role of a constrained person, guarding herself in every move against discovery of…
I've just finished episode 3. She's showing remarkable restraint in her responses to slights, blatant disrespect, and HR violations. Her restraint depends on the the person as well. The character is performing a role of a dutiful daughter-in-law who respects all her elders no matter how they treat her behind her back or straight to her face.
The subtle looks and drops in expression once the other person's back is turned tells me Lusi is doing an extremely good and detailed job at this role. We have barely scratched the surface of her character. Even we, the audience, haven't really gotten to see Yan yet(as of episode 3 as that's how far I've gotten). We see she is determined, smart, and calculative. She knows how to manipulate situations to her benefit, and so far nothing has shown cruelty or abuse of power.
When she's practicing the dance alone in her room talking to her grandmother her face softens, but in the scene she's still lying to her grandmother.
The character is constantly on guard. She has built her castle on sand and knows that any wrong move can topple it to the ground.
We haven't even gotten half-way yet. Once we get to the storyline where Yan and HaoMing get to know each other without any secrets THEN I would say we could judge Lusi's performance with more accuracy. It's very much giving abused child who doesn't want to say the wrong thing or move too quickly less she be hit. The character is trying to be perfect and not let any of her flaws show. So to me her performance makes perfect sense.
is it normat that episode 6 still hasen't came out ?
It's VIP so depending on the site you use, not unusual. If you're paying for the vvip then it should be ready. But if you are using another site it will take a little longer.
People, please cherish this drama, as it might be Lusi's last. As a Lusi fan, I delved into the C-drama world…
*for a while* not forever. I believe that she can get past all of her company drama, and she can fully heal. Other artists have gone through similar things(with their company) and eventually comeback, sometimes even stronger. My main concern is how her short term memory is doing. As she has previously mentioned that memorizing things at the moment was extremely difficult because of her health. I think the general public have now seen that her company has been blocking & spreading misinformation about her. She has a strong likability among producers, directors, & her fellow actors. I believe that once all the legal mess is clear & she can actually reduce her stress, if she wants to continue doing dramas she will be able to. I just refuse to believe that she won't make more dramas or movies if she is still passionate about that side of her career.
for the musically inclined watchers. the more western score the one that sounds really orchestral....is that an organ i hear or is a mix of brass & string? i just remember thinking the score sounded very cinematic & it gave Hans Zimmer vibes. I dont often hear this style score in a cdrama & it made me curious.
Did I have a long blink or was the editing off in episode 32. I feel like an entire scene is missing. by the time we get 30ish minutes in ML & 2ML are at a location talking about something we didnt see. (I hate it when they tell & dont show) I feel like a scene of like 30seconds to a minute tops would have been enough to establish them going on a journey, but nope when just dropped into a new space & expositioned to death. side-eye...
