Wait, what? What happened in the 2nd episode of "sweet teeth" lol? Oh, now I need to know! Is it One Piece related or Xiao Zhan related ππππππ
I had to come back to this post because I just saw that JNZ wore the dress that GL gave her on their date. When…
YUP. It was one of the many dresses GL gave JNZ. I was a bit disappointed when I saw a post on it showing how it was the same. And that too when GYY told her to wear the dress he gave her. Why would she go on a date with GYY wearing another man's dress -_-? So disappointed!
I feel I already disliked Gao Liang from like episode 5 or something so didn't really need 22 to tell me how bad…
Lol. idk something about the fact that he always has to constantly lie just bothers me. Like bro, must u ALWAYS lie lol. Can't u just tell the truth once & always a lie making him out to be the strongest but than starts running away scared and hiding behind someone so they can save him. Luffy is my #1 and than Zoro is #2. But my #3 is hard to say lol - its like between Law & Sanji. Law just seems so bad ass u know - I just love his character lol. And his back story hurt me so badly. Oda really hurts people with those tragic back stories. Always outdoing the next.
Hu Yang, just wait for dumb GYY to get his head on straight. He will come to u once he figures his end out. If she has kids I am just going to crawl into a corner and cry (JK lol). But I will definitely be disappointed because I sitll have some hope that maybe he does end up with her - that he never really marries A Xiu and just takes care of her lol. Got to hold on u know lol.
Yea, I thought maybe he would get into the academy on his own. But nope, it ended up that he got help from the division commander again. I feel tehy should have let him take the test like JNZ - at least allowed it to seem like he wasn't getting carried u know. But, of course, it came down to him getting favors frm the higher ups and just getting all the benefits. SMH!
Gao Liang's story is appearing increasingly inconsistent. He's earned merits and grown and is shown letting go…
To be honest, I know people say there is a brotherhood between Gao Liang & Gu Yiye or that they are great friends. But I just don't see it. I feel they kind of tolerate each other but aren't really that close. I feel the love triangel kind of prevented them from ever being true friends. So definitely agree with u that maybe the romance should have been separate. Like give them 2 different people that they fell in love with from the beginning. Maybe it would have been better for the overall dynamic.
I think before the war there wasn't much romance. It was just hints here and there. And people who just had an unrequited love. But I think once the war ended that is when u see more people like go for their crush - could be because they experienced so much loss that thhey kind of wanted someone to be with & share their pain or just not feel lonely.
The hate for GL is hilariousLoving the story overall no characters really move me itβs just a nice Military…
Trust me I wished I didn't hate him - its very weird to me when I hate a main character in a drama/anime because it just so rare in general (and because he has so much screentime). And before I watch a new episode I try my best to find something I like about GL. But something comes up and I just have to smash my keyboard and write something about how much I loathe the character. I just feel whoever wrote his character just did him dirty where its hard to like him.
Idk if u ever watched Star Wars but it just reminds me of when so many people hated Jar Jar Binks because he was just annoying. It wasn't because people wanted to hate the character but because of how he was written (and voiced) - very poorly that it became like one of the worse films in the franchise. And thats just how GL feels to me. Someone that wasn't written well - not the fault of the actor but the directors instead or whoever wrote him to be honest.
And YES I completely agree! I wished Bai Lu was actually the Second FL at least for this drama - give her more screen time!
The love story of GYY and JNZ is like Romeo and Juliet. They can not be together because there are too many people…
Wow, that is actually a really good correlation to be honest. The fact that there are so many things that got in between GYY & JNZ that it prevented them from actually being together.
Completely agree. I think that is what GYY needed the most. Just someone to tell him that what he is feeling is…
Yea. I think that GYY probably tries to help A Xiu but doesn't really marry her. I don't think she would want it that way anyways because she would feel guilty because she knows his reasons for marrying him. But I feel eventually she will grow to love him and care for him and decides to marry him after all. And I think GYY will do the same - once he figures things out in the acaedemy and realizes that A Xiu helped him through it. He probably will think she is the one for him to get far in his career and in his private life.
It is interesting to see how fast they expect people to get over war though. Like it was maybe a few months and stome people weren't even affected by it. I mean I understood the doctors since they probably have seen death so much in just 1 hour that they had to get used to it. But I did think it was weird how JNZ wasn't affected by all the death around her at all. Like when the guy came into the tent and asked if there was a radio that never died - she just kept eating and thought nothing of it. So, that part was strange to me.
Completely agree. I think that is what GYY needed the most. Just someone to tell him that what he is feeling is…
His father really gave him that emotional support he needed. I feel he kind of felt better once he talked to him and knew what he needed to do to be able to move on from this grief.
JNZ, I feel, does love GYY. Even when GYY was distancing himself from her she constantly wrote him letters and try to stay in touch with him and even went looking for him - so I don't think she really drifted away from him. I think that was GYY entirely. I think he just couldn't do it anymore - be with her when she had already moved on. And he probably still loves her too and probably why its so hard for him to leave her. But he knows that his grief will only pull her back and he feels obligated to take care of A Xiu at this point. He knows that everyone that was at war has slowly started to smile again and be able to enjoy their lives while he can't move past it. And I think he just can't hear people just tell him to move on when that just isn't something he can do. It's like hearing someone tell u to smile when ur just not in the mood. Its kind of showing how there are different ways of how people can grieve: some can move on pretty quick (JNZ), some go through some form of PTSD but eventually move on (Nu Manceng), some just fall in love (the guy who came back after getting shot in the chest), and than those that just can't move past it (GYY). And I feel GYY's case is very normal hence why so many soldiers have PTSD and have difficulty adjusting to civilian life.
Today's episodes just seem a bit discombobulated. Like is romance the primary focus and military the side piece?…
Completely agree. I think that is what GYY needed the most. Just someone to tell him that what he is feeling is understandable and not out of the ordinary. He didn't need someone to constantly tell him to move on or that he needed to live his life. And he definitely didn't GL to constantly guilt trip him about JNZ when he already has so many issues. I think no one really just went to GYY and gave him the help he needed or at least the emotional support he needed. Like when he met JNZ at the waterside & she mentioned how GYY wasn't there for him while GL was - he had to correct her and say that he was the one that told GL about the admission information after he asked his father. And he was helping her but because of his circumstances he couldn't do it directly. But the fact she just saw GL has the good guy and even said how it was her bf's job. U can see from GYY's face that he was bothered by that statement. He was not very happy about it. But he just held it back and told her the truth.
It just feels like everyone wants to be consoled by GYY but when he needed the same in return - he is sort of just standing alone on an island.
3 leads and I can't bring myself to like two of them. I thought it would have gotten better through the episodes,…
I had to come back to this post because I just saw that JNZ wore the dress that GL gave her on their date. When she promised him to wear the red dress that GYY bought her. WTFlip.
If everyone tries to do the same u will not be here talking because he is a lead who has high expectations but…
Ahhh okay. Well, I mean at the end of the day its about interpretation u know. If u don't think he is bad than thats fine - just means we see things differently. I, personally, just can't deal with the character but I can understand if someone else does - because I know my opinion is just my own lol. People are going to differ from me.
I have watched plenty of anime where I have disliked a character soo much just to find out that they are the most popular character in the entire anime lol. Like won popularity awards and ranked #1 lol. So, it is just about preference in the end and what kind of annoys u & what doesn't.
You know the way some people play at helpfulness, where they go all "we're in this together. you know you can…
Yup. I mean I feel Gao Liang just tries to act like he is helping GYY but in reality he doesn't. He wants GYY to fail so he can surpass him. I know some people might think we are really hating GL and jsut being unfair. But, if this was a villain and not a ML than it wouldn't be seen as strange. But because GL is a ML, people think we are just unfairly claiming that he is a really bad character. But we can't just forgive him for everything he has done jsut because he is a ML - like he needs to act like a decent person or at least just a decent friend.
Yes, have to agree here. Though maybe he could not make a decision and that's why he didn't? Idk. But that situation…
Well he is probably going to be very angry with GYY about the break up but we know inside he is doing back flips lol. I think he even knows that JNZ was never going to stop loving GYY if he still loved her. And that she would have never left him either - she tried once but still couldn't forget him and went back to him. So, its clear that she just loves and won't see GL as anything more than a friend as long she is with GYY.
I don't think he will give up his career because I don't think A Xiu would ever let that happen to be honest. She would probably leave and run away than let him ruin his life like that for her. So, I think he will remain in the army and get ahead but also be there for A Xiu like Zhang Fei was supposed to be there.
I agree. I would have preferred that they already had someone they loved back home - like GYY had Hu Yang and those were the people they married. I feel them having a relationship in the military does sort of ruin it because it really ruined GL's entire character. Just made him look like a self centered romantic.
If everyone tries to do the same u will not be here talking because he is a lead who has high expectations but…
I am lost. What do u mean? I think the story is more on Gao Liang or maybe equally about GL & GYY - I don't really see what u mean by how the director focuses on GYY more. There have been episodes where GYY had minimal scenes while Gao Liang had a lot more.
Well, we are just discussing about what we like or dislike about the drama. If u like GL more than GYY that is perfectly fine. We are all entitled to our own opinions & free to express them. But ur right if everyone did the same thing than there wouldn't be much to differentiate the characters from one another. But those differences is what entails us to determine which character we prefer and which ones we don't.
Yes, have to agree here. Though maybe he could not make a decision and that's why he didn't? Idk. But that situation…
Yea and I think that is what next episode is going to be about. I don't think I want to see it though lol. I feel its going to be emotional and tears will flow. Because I do think JNZ loves GYY and GYY still loves her but he just thinks he has obligations. And I am just not going to be happy when he breaks it off :/ . . . ..
It's like teh first time JNZ broke up with GYY and he was distraught & now he is going to do it and they both are going to be!
Totally agree. I even tried to force myself to like him as the newer episodes came out because he saved his brothers…
Well there definition of cute is completely different from mine lol. I just find it annoying. Like the fact u bought all those dresses for JNZ when u know ur platoon leader just got married and u got him nothing or his wife - but practically took every soldiers money just to buy someone else's gf a lot of dresses *facepalm*.
When GYY had that look on his face when GL mentioned JNZ - I was like oh SNAP! I think he is about to go off on him because it looked like he was completely done with him stalking his gf and constantly being around her every second. Because its true - why is he even getting in the middle of their relationship when its between them 2. I mean I know he wants them to break up because he thinks he has a shot (after being rejected a million times). HA! When he said "I won't be pursing JNZ anymore" I knew that was a lie lol. I knew he was going to turn right around and go look for her lol - dude has said that so many times I think its probably just as many tiems has he recited his sob story.
I feel I already disliked Gao Liang from like episode 5 or something so didn't really need 22 to tell me how bad…
Girl, no need to say sorry lol. If u don't like a character u just don't. I mean to this day I still don't like Usopp from One Piece lol (don't ask me why I just can't sometimes with him - my brothers will ask me and I just have no answer just something about his annoying personality and thinking he is all that lol).
I just feel that he could repay him without having to sacrifice his love life though. I mean I know it is easier said but I JUST FIND IT UNFAIR. I mean why couldn't it be Hu Yang - someone that he could find a way to love but not because it was out of duty or guilt u know. I just find it unfair that its only him that is sacrificing everything while others are just allowed to love who they want.
I would like to meet someone that does like GL because I just want to know whats likeable in him. I feel at times that maybe I am too harsh on him but when he does things like in episode 23 - I am like NOPE. I can't. I am just like he deserves it! Like come on. GYY is pouring his heart to u and the only thing u care about is JNZ - and when u didn't like the response u throw food on his head? This man is goign through so much and ur supposed to be a "friend" and thats how u treat him. KICK ROCKS GL! I really hope he steps on every lego ever made and it gets thrown on his head too while we are at it.
Yes, have to agree here. Though maybe he could not make a decision and that's why he didn't? Idk. But that situation…
I feel that might be the reason. He probably is reluctant to break up with her because he does love her and if the situation never happened he would always be in love with her. But because circumstances changed he feels he has an obligation now to A Xiu and hence the reason to break up.
But ur right the situation is just awful because he doesn't deserve it but because he made a decision I feel its just time to say ur goodbyes before u guys get even more emotionally attached. JNZ is definitely going to be distraught from this decision u know. I mean I feel that is why he was ignoring her letters so she could forget him but it needs to be official - even though I feel I have never seen them officially date or say they were dating lol.
So the drama started off in 1983 - they became recruits and started training1984:I think that is when the war…
I think it's already 1986 when they first joined the academy. Because they said how it was a process of them getting the 10 quotas. Also, I am looking at the baby and he looks like he is around a few months to 1 year old lol.
But yea ur right - definitely need time stamps to indicate how much time went by. It gets confusing after a while
Hu Yang, just wait for dumb GYY to get his head on straight. He will come to u once he figures his end out. If she has kids I am just going to crawl into a corner and cry (JK lol).
