Keep deluding yourself if it makes you feel better. Go on with your homophobic self

Thanks!

Just read your review on Viki - Why did you give this drama an 8 there but only a 7.5 on here?

This is a straight-up spoiler...use the spoiler tag FFS

That's too big of a skip, imho - there's some good stuff between 17-23

I've seen this a lot in both K- and J-dramas as well. It's always made me wonder if "like" means something more than in English. Liking someone or something in English can range from "I like toast" to "I like you and want to date you"

Exhibit A: the way SY says "You?!" to Jiang Yu when JY jokingly says that XQ is in love with JY. It's a taut, almost derisive answer but held back at the very last moment in order not to appear too much, but his inflection and body movements give it away.

Exhibit B: in Episode 24, (where XQ is sitting outside his surgery tent and remembering past moments of them together), the way he looks back at her around minute 4:46. There's some serious fire in those eyes.

So I FINALLY get what all the fuss is about with Yang Yang. I had either dropped or barely started many of his other dramas and just hadn't been able to connect with him as an actor....until now. Suffice it to say that I have totally and completely changed my mind about him with this drama and have been 100% absorbed in his character portrayal so far.

There's a difference between being stiff and being "held", with all of the emotions and the inner monologue/story just underneath the surface, which then get expressed through micro-expressions and slight body movements, which Yang Yang is pulling off brilliantly.

Consider me a brand new fan.

Much deserved!

Oh that's disappointing - I wonder if the list is hosted on another site now

I saw Love is Sweet a long time ago but I’ll need to rewatch after this!
(I haven’t seen Ashes of Love)

Intense love scenes? I’ve watched quite a few c-dramas and I’m not remembering any intense love scenes

I liked this a lot.

Spoiler alert here

I LOVE it so far but it’s pretty much non-stop suffering, with the worst to come. I’m on episode 36 and I’m just gritting my teeth waiting for the inevitable. But let me tell you, if the last few episodes have the brilliance of the first 36, this will be tied with Stranger for the #1 drama I’ve ever watched. I had no idea that I could love a tragic Chinese fantasy drama with 40 episodes as much as I do. I’m trying to compile my thoughts into intelligible words so I can write a review afterwards, which I almost never do.
Have you seen it?!

I liked her a lot in HdL but to each their own, for sure! 😍

You’re missing out on Hotel del Luna then, since it’s really good

I haven't seen that one yet, but I've read a lot of praise for it over the years. Rarely am I in the mood to watch that much suffering....although I am currently watching Till the End of the Moon, so......
LOL! I'm sure I'll watch My Mister one of these days.

You like to accuse female actors of having “backers” (this is just the latest of your rants I’ve read lately.) Believe it or not, women can succeed and fail in this industry without resorting to the methods you keep accusing them of. And if they did have to sleep with someone to get ahead, then it’s the men’s fault for setting up an unjust system like that. (Weinstein/Epstein/etc/etc/etc)
And btw, I’m not a fan of Suzy’s acting at all, my panties aren’t even remotely in a bunch, and I’m a middle-aged woman with opinions and not a teenager. I just believe that we can talk about these things without pulling out misogynistic tropes. You don’t like Suzy? Just say that. Don’t demean her when you don’t know her (none of us here know any of these people personally!)
