(ep 5) As much as this series is trying to make us into suspecting really anyone I just can't help but only suspect Tod for some reason xD Maybe he seems too playful about everything >.>' ?
And maybe the white hair has something to do with some immortality/cultivation? Or maybe it's about how older people are more wise = people with while/gray hair are wise?
I don't know if this works under hate-watching, but sometimes thought it you can find something that is SO BAD that it's good. Like you aren't laughing with it you are laughing for it. I do recommend watching something shitty with your friends/family. It just makes hate watching really fun and I feel like then I don't even mind the series/movie being bad (etc) because it brought so much joy when you all screamed at the group of characters who decided to split in the horror setting xD!!
I do see the negative aspect of supporting badly made series/movies. I do want to support people making something good, but also I don't mind the bad ones. It's really complicated xD. On the other hand I kind of see the bad series/movies also in some twisted way making people entertained, but I would hate if it was intended to be that way. But it's also kind of sad if some people drop the industry just because they made one bad movie/series. I believe that people can learn from their mistakes and maybe after people criticize the movie/series someone can really learn from it and create something amazing in the future!! :D
I have once again made an essay and I feel like there is still so much to talk about ':D This was a great article!!
Is this actually that good, or is the rating inflated by hardcore Yibo fans? Don't get me wrong, I like him just…
I'm thinking about the same thing... and this is really sad. It makes me watch less of dramas from popular actors just because I become so skeptical ,-___-,
There is also miniseries made from the same novel Fingersmith (found with the same name). I must say that the series is more sweet and cute. This miniseries version is good if you don't want to witness the sexual abuse part of this story (since the series don't have that). Also in the series the love don't feel as over sexualized (? if that makes any sense). I think I actually prefer the ending in this miniseries (I haven't read the original work). I still kind of enjoy them both in their own way.
(This miniseries is also the reason why the director of The Shape of Water decided to cast Sally Hawkins as the main lead of The Shape of Water)
Lying is so interesting. I kind of wish they would have included something about pathological liars or like how people can lie without realizing. Or like can you change lie into a truth just by really believing in it (kind of like if you believe your drink will make you crazy you can kind of get crazy. Like can you use a placebo effect on yourself?)? I know in this the lying itself wasn't the focus, but I can't help myself from thinking about these things while watching this :o
Also I included some praise in the spoiler down below ~
My favorite crossdressing drama is "The Painter of the Wind (2008)", it even has lowkey wlw romance. I always find it interesting if a woman has been living as a man all her life will she be more comfy in man's clothes and social status, or will she feel like she has been missing out on living her life in woman's clothes and social status (I don't think there will ever be and absolute answer to this, but I like to think about it).
Really nice article, it really got me thinking !!! I find it sad that men being in women's clothes is somehow funny while women in men's clothes can be even seen as powerful. It's like anything feminine is somehow weak... '-__-.
I somehow get same kind of vibe watching this as playing little nightmares (especially the cop scenes) ofc little nightmares is so much scarier. I adore the set design and the costume design. Also I think the prop team did a good job (or the CGI?)! The colors are so nice! The color schemes reminds me of Wes Anderson's films.
I know nothing about the historical clothing of this era (or any other...), but seeing those high officials (?) out there with flower patterned gloves just gives me life ;___; <3 Also where do I buy them???
So the K version is not about self-confidence and character growth than her looks but the other way around?
I'm not sure I understand your question ':/ I just remember the k version as a story where the main girl has to have the straight hair in the workplace to be taken as pretty ':D I don't know it has been a long time since I saw it... I just remember that me and my friend really liked her hair and where sad to see it go xD
I think I will forever love the kdrama because it reintroduced me to the song by Carpenters named Close to you. That version is also one of those few dramas that I got to talk about with an actual real life person, which makes some of it's moments really memorable. But thinking about the plot, I don't think I would necessary rewatch it.
However this version does seem interesting, especially if it's more about self-confidence and character growth than her looks! ...But I think I will get a major second lead syndrome D:
I haven't finished this (like 10 episodes left), but I feel like this drama will make me suffer so much later on. Because it's too good to be true!! This fits my tastes like a clove. The story is just on point for me. The romance is just subtle enough for me and I think I just love all the characters. The are believable and don't do anything wouldn't make sense. I haven't been bored. It's hard to know what will happen next. It has lots of episodes. It's a long journey where FL moves from place to place. It has some interesting artistic elements (ok not that much, but the comic style is interesting). It even has a FL dresses as a man 0_0! *smh with awe* Like what is this? Feels like a fever dream o___O. AND WHAT DO I DO WHEN IT ENDS!!??
