Interesting article as always :) Though I think dramas in recent years with their female leads, I still hope to see more diversity in personality and traits in the future. Especially seeing some be successful in their own right without the male lead's help. I don't really use tags. I usually only add them to aid other users, especially if there's something that might be triggering. I agree with you about a lot of the redundant tags. There should be away to combine some together.
I started watching Nang Fah Lam Kaen randomly. The first two episodes were so intense! Omg who could do that to a baby! I hope they don't try to redeem the evil stepmother. Who could forgive her after that? The music scenes took me by surprise at first, but I really like them now. I've put it on hold for now, so I can binge it when its done airing. Fun article as always :)
actually I was thinking that Win suit the character Woobin but in chinese version he should be Feng Mei zuo not…
Oh I got the Korean version wrong. It’s supposed to be Yi-jung not Woo-bin. I see you point about Win and Bright maybe suiting other characters. But I think GMMTV made the right call. With these roles Bright and Win will (hopefully) be able to show their acting range.
I hope casting Win as Sojiro (Xi Men/Woo-bin) will mean that his character will get more attention and be more flushed out. His character is probably the most interesting of the F4, but the character development in the other dramas has been very hit and miss for me. Overall, I'm not mad about the casting. I think they all fit the character's images. The only thing that'll probably annoy me is all the BrightWin fans complaining. Just don't watch it then lol.
I really liked this version, though it had its pros and cons. Lately, I've noticed a lot of people saying that this was their first drama or first c-drama. I love that this Meteor Garden, like all the versions before it has become a gateway drama for so many people :D
Fun article as always :)
