I expected a typical slice of life: the quiet vibe of Tell Me You Love Me, or the "escape to the countryside to catch your breath and recover" vibe in Meet Yourself. From the trailer I had to revise my expectations of the tone. Is it's tone appropriate for the story? ┐( ˘_˘)┌
I would have liked what I expected; quiet, kinda miserable, but renews strength to fight because they moved to a different environment, not over-acted vibe... I'll have to make do with this bold, loud, fast tone. It's is not too bad.
But the shouting! Make them stop! Turn down the volume!😳😳😂😂
I'm still enjoying it though. The acting is great, the flaws of the drama are squarely on the writer.
This drama is simple but so good! It's the type that can easily go wrong but so far it's been well executed. (Hopefully they keep it up because those episodes are many)
Versatile means "able to adapt or be adapted to many different functions or activities." He certainly fulfills…
Just because he's been in different dramas doesn't mean the author should call him a versatile actor. Same blank face in every role. They absolutely misused the word. It is an exaggeration of the word, and an insult to actors who are actually versatile.
It's not a documentary, it's a fictional show and accuracy will be lost at the expense of narrative. If there…
You, brought yourself to my comment, I responded to your comment and even offered an alternative scenario that would preserve the integrity of the story, and your response is to accuse me of being triggered because I'm using caps lock on 5 words for emphasis? Do you have a response to WHAT I WROTE? Please do not reply if you don't.

It's good to read to understand, not just read to comment.
1. The character has been developed as a competent and celebrated AD, so I'm disappointed that they went down the route of having her get saved by the male lead. Ruins her characterization.
2. Accuracy isn't a trade off with the narrative. Simple option. Sheng Yang draws the pictures. When director yells cut, he runs his idea by her, she's elated, tells him to get on the podium and wave the pics, and they shoot a perfect take. This preserves the narrative they want, to create a bonding moment where they help one another out (aww) without female lead being saved, and maintains the commonsense of how sets work.
It seems that y'all commenting here are driven by a need to defend your star. Put your emotions aside and read my comment as it is, A CRITIQUE OF THE WRITING, not of your fave celeb.
Actually the plot and scene is very realistic. Beeing an award winner and making 100 projects sucessfully does…
@duminique I'm not omniscient. I actually work in film, ergo, by skill and experience, I know what I'm saying, and comment on what I know. Find another comment to make witless observations on. Your comment is not the own you think it is.
Make the female lead incompetent at a job she's even been honoured with an industry award so the male lead can "rescue" her? 2023, and we're not done with "competent women being rescued by lesser men" trope??!! What was that "waving the pictures of animals" scene even??😂😂😂😂 And then he commits the ultimate crime on a set, disrupting it, OVERRIDING the director, and I should accept that this is a positive turning point in their relationship? I'm sure you've been on sets long enough to know the director is the law, the ruler, the king, the dictator of the set, and that plot piece was ridiculous!!😂😂😂 Come on!
I think you are viewing just from a point of view. Working all the extra hours and overtime do no count ? In my…
Was he at work? Was that activation a work event? Why was he going off while on company time? To see a "crush ", not even a girlfriend. Being "just a designer", doesn't get him off his responsibilities. HE WAS PUT IN CHARGE OF THE EVENT, his manager delegated the responsibility to him, whether it was a set up or not, or did you forget that part.
Didn't I say there needed to be an investigation to confirm who dropped the ball? Did I not say , right from the start, that they wrote this scene for romantic lead expediency, and not an accurate portrayal of work life? Did I not say that my workbrain has a problem with this scene?
Just say you don't have a problem with what the character did because you like the lead actor, and go. 😒 no shame in that.

What kind of excuse are you making for him? He was at work, doing an activation. He left to chase his crush. You cannot excuse his behaviour because 1) it was "dark", 2) he was not on paid overtime 3) the hospital scene is very late 4) in France you have common core.
China is infamous for 9-9-6. 9 am until 9 pm, 6 days a week. China is not France. Why was he off during their working hours?
So what if it's late? Lateness didn't stop him noodle-ing with his crush!
Was this common core time? Was this a set time when workers can go off and do their personal business? Or was this actual work time, which he skived off of like a high school boy?

It seems that neither you nor misnomers can understand the reality of how the mistakes he made actually play out. Where on earth does someone leave their place of work , during working hours, not inform anyone where he's going, and then NOT pick the phone? Add to that the ethics of partying on company time?
Tha scene was unrealistic, and only served to push his characterisation as a romantic lead. It's just as bad as poorly done hospital/ surgery/ detective investigation scenes.
Idk after high school, rejection of a love confession isn't that serious and by all means never directly implies…
Infantilise? Wanting to draw a clear line in the sand to protect yourself from someone you barely know is infantilisation? Someone who has already been told that his love interest is not interested but insists on coming to stand outside her house?
She already told him she doesn't want a relationship. You can't turn around and okay the behaviour because as you say, "she literally likes him lmao".
That scene was poorly executed. Would have been less creepy and filled with engaging tension if he went to the hospital. Being in the same place with her ex and his new love interest adds more value to the story, like when he was jockeying with "uncle" to have her time.
How many cases have we seen in recent news of women being harmed for refusing a man's advances or even requests for a phone number? It's not illogical to want to protect yourself first.
The only purpose of the scene was to juxtapose him against her ex husband and the moment she discovers their budding relationship. On its own, that behaviour is nonsensical.

Let's stop romanticising bad behaviour. The only reason we can tolerate it is because it's a fictitious world, a romance genre... The same scene/episode with a thriller tag would have our edges standing because we know what's going to happen, and what will happen is closer to reality than a romance.
I expected one thing, I got another, I have found a reason to stick around...... what exactly is your issue?
It is one thing for you to have a contrary opinion to mine, it is another thing for you to think that you can invalidate my opinion.

1. You have the option of not commenting.
2. You have the option of not commenting on any of my posts.
3. You have the option of not commenting about jobs you know nothing about.
4. You have the option of not commenting about a job in which I work and have more skill and expertise than you do.
