Unique and stylistic, don't think just feel

Like the actress said there were SOOOOO many close-up shots of the faces it was funny. She mentioned in an interview they would just tell her to look at the camera and she asked "what for" and they said "just act out your lines to it." It's definitely a unique stylistic choice hahahaha

Speaking of which this whole show oozed style as expected from the director of Go Princess Go and there were lots of memorable moments and an amazing soundtrack. I still love on the two insert songs 一世聰明 and 凋零 from it both because duh, they played during the most tragic scenes.

I also adored what they did with the characterization, like even the minor characters had personalities and even though there were less scenes of them later in the drama (looking at you, Jiang Li's schoolmates and 3rd sister) you still remembered them for their personalities and motivations, so they felt like real people.

Some unintentional humor: why did the Li family head always meet with his son in that one specific canyon place to plot evil plots? It was kinda cartoony. Also he plays villain dad in Scent of Time too which gave me a double take when I watched it after this because he actually has a chance to be doting loving father in that one ahhhh I love veteran actors they deliver so well.

Wang Xingyue is absolutely gorgeous and charismatic in this series, they should get him to play a fox demon sometime he rocks the eyeliner look soooo well. Love his guards (there's always 1 smart guard and 1 doofus guard) and I'm sooooo mad the last episode just!! Had them end like that!!

I appreciate the open ending and all that but my heart tells me that the boys probably didn't make it home; still better to have love than lost than never loved at all. Anyways, we can still say they did and it's a happy ending!

This drama has stuck with me through the next 2 dramas I've watched, which says something for its lasting value. The visuals are super strong, the plot is fun and full of twists (my friend thought it was slow, I was like "girl you kidding me 5 episodes feel like 1 to me"), and I love love the music. That guzheng competition scene is still my favorite even with the ridiculous effects, I unironically love it and saved a 9-min clip version of it from YouTube just to watch okay ahhahaha you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kELdyIxwFQs

Amazing twists, breakneck pacing, questionable plot

Finally finished this series and I'm here to write a review! The Glory is in a weird place with me. It's got definitive plot twists that will definitely surprise you, with foreshadowing that is well executed (omg the gun was great). The characters are also very distinct and unique in cdrama in that they sometimes use violent, even borderline unlawful methods to get things done. And the soundtrack is great (I love the token sad OST "Cut" or 剪, it's beautiful and I've played it on loop for hours). I don't like how the WeTV adaptation on YouTube cuts off the music itself even though I paid for a membership, so I'm missing some BGMs >:( But that's an issue with the channel, not the series itself.

Also, it's surprising great with food? We don't get many scenes, but there are still delicious when you see them! Why did the dad have to be such a good cook! I was so sold on him in the beginning >:(

Also the pacing is VERY fast. I was talking with others viewing the series and they were like "it's like they knew this is a revenge drama and went through all the usual stops and steps very very fast," to the point where you almost don't keep up with the emotional cues. But then the plot develops in other ways so you're like "oh, it makes sense that they wanna get over the smaller conflicts to move on to the bigger drama later."

This is also where the biggest question mark of the series comes in: the plot itself. It makes sense and it's definitely gripping, but sometimes takes leaps of logic that has to make me pause and re-suspend my disbelief. People have plots and counterplots to deal with each other SO fast, to the point that while it feels great to watch, it's also a little unbelievable that things could proceed so smoothly. The whole story arc where Hanyan has to dig up that body and drag it to the capital has a super skewed timeline, for one thing.

In terms of acting, Chen Duling (Zhuang Hanyan) has improved a lot since her earlier days, so I'm genuinely happy to watch her progress here. She still needs work in some aspects, but she doesn't make me wince when she shows emotions like crying or rage anymore! Xin Yunlai (Fu Yunxi) more or less finished the series with a wooden face throughout, but the plot and everything else made me more or less accept it. Jinna Fu (Chai Jing) was wonderful as the assassin character, and I wish she had more screentime case she was SOOOO cool but I get why they had to write her out later.

Last but not least, the cinematography is GORGEOUS. Even the care taken in the opening and closing credits (with mother-of-pearl on lacquer kinda art!!) is breathtaking, to say nothing of the various scenes throughout the drama. You can choose any episode and find a beautiful, wallpaper-worthy scene to screenshot.

So yeah, to quote the netizens who've watched it, this is a somewhat brainless series, but it's still very addictive and follows through on its own (borderline nonsensical) logic at times to make a coherent story. I would say to focus on the emotional beats and individual characters---the side characters are fascinating and complex, and I really loved how for once the "evil females" in a series were redeemed for the better and learned to live for themselves. It seems to reflect that people are sometimes twisted by circumstance because it seems like easy way to live a happy life, but that's not always the case.

I also like the little instances of wordplay in the series, especially with the secret code revealing Fu Yunxi's status as a spy AND the missing character on 家 to 冢 in the final episode to show how Zhuang Shiyang's "home" ultimately became his "tomb." And the way they depicted the ending was veeeeeeery subtle but well done (big spoilers ahead):

Ultimately, Fu Yunxi didn't survive long. In the ending scene when the characters both past and present, alive and dead, are watching the fireworks, he's dressed in the paler/colder/yin-coded shades of white & blue with the other dead characters on the left, while Hanyan and the living are dressed in vibrant reds on the right. But the fact that they're all in the same scene shows...that ultimately, their memory lives on in the family that continues beyond their deaths. TOT

Like Fu Yunxi said, "No matter how the past was, there's no need to revisit it. No need to entangle with the past. Because now, we have a beautiful future." WahhhHHHHHHhhhhhhhh (Also the reason I believe this is also b/c Chen Duling's studio released an edit post-series showing all of Zhuang Hanyan's dead loved ones "fading away" next to her and Fu Yunxi was like the first guy in the video to poof lol. If he did survive, he definitely didn't make it to or past the new year's. You can watch it here if it's still up: https://x.com/chenduling1018/status/1909936759460467143)

Anyways, the end! (I still can't believe main leads only kissed TWICE, once by accident and once in the last episode!!!! But I get it, this is more of a revenge drama than a romance drama hahaha).

A breath of fresh air in the genre

When this series first came out I was charmed by its premise: guy and girl meet online in an MMO and later fall in love irl. I ate the drama, read the novel, looked up fanworks, watched the (less than stellar) movie, etc. There's something very innocent, sweet, and teenage optimism about this whole work that I really liked. It also gave me nostalgic memories of my own days with MMOs, though Chinese ones are a completely different vibe and look (I've played a couple set in historical times with wuxia/xianxia elements like Love O2O's, they're very fun but yeah, not like Western/KRN MMOs at all).

Yang Yang was super handsome as Xiao Nai and his in-game character and I loved that he fought with a guzheng, which isn't exactly new in terms of wuxia but WAS pretty fresh for drama protagonist weapons. Zheng Shuang was actually a little too skinny in some parts (her arms made me worry for her) and it turned out later that she admitted she was struggling with her body image during this time. If she's already a stick on-screen, you can imagine what she looked like offscreen. Then later on she ran into some other scandal but this is a drama review so I won't get into that here, I'll just say that her skinniness actually distracted me from fully immersing in the drama at times because anytime she was her in-game character, who had a costume with no sleeves, I couldn't buy it that she was some amazing fighter cause it looked like you could snap her bones with a stick...

Some parts are also very idol drama style with weaker basis in reality, such as Weiwei elegantly tapping the keyboard and mouse as Xiao Nai passes her in the internet cafe. Supposedly, he fell in love with her because of her flying fingers over the keyboard, but the shots made it look more like she was typing a Microsoft Word document. Heeeeeelp.

Rest of drama was fine, with nice high and low points. I don't remember too much but I know I enjoyed the faceslapping scenes and Mao Xiaotong was extra cute as the best friend character with her own loveline. All in all, a classic for the cdrama books! And the songs and OST are sparkly cute too!

Starkly beautiful despite the pain

I'll give a disclaimer now: I don't like this drama lol~

So why do I rate it so highly? Because its execution, theme, and plot were done well, even if it ultimately ended up as a story not to my tastes. Dramas set in the Republican era (pre WWII) always have this certain sense of oppressive melancholy to them; you know the good times and lavish settings aren't going to last long before war and tragedy strikes, so every bit of happiness I see (especially with younger characters!) feel like they're on a ticking time bomb before everything goes south.

But the love story of the ML and FL, which started out pure but ultimately withered under the weight of reality, hit close to home. Leng Qingqiu Bai Xiuzhu and Jin Meili were also gorgeous in their roles, and the very name of Leng Qingqiu—cold clear autumn—was both super poetic and 100% her. I didn't like all the rich family bullying stuff they did against Qingqiu after she moved into the family, or how her husband loved what he couldn't have and then lost interest once they were actually married. In essence, he was flakey and constantly pursuing an ideal, which led to him having nothing in the end (seeing Xiuzhu rejecting him and calling him out after they met up again was so satisfying).

Basically, he got what he deserved but that made for a sad ending so in the end I was miserable even though it was a good drama, lol

Classy and heartwarming, if a little bland

This was a short and charming drama I loved full of 古韵, basically that aura of ancient Chinese culture and styling you find in a lot of the older historical cdramas. The two new versions they made based off of this just can't compare—one is too plastic, the other too shallow.

It's a simple, comedic, and romantic romp that actually has 4 couples' stories between the two FLs and the princess (there's an older married couple who has sweet moments too). Both FL had their charms: the tomboyish martial artist Li Yuhu and the refined scholarly Du Bingyan. Even the princess was cool—she was a little bratty, but also very refined and carried the aura of royalty about her, and genuinely good/innocent at heart.

The romance for all FLs was well developed and fleshed out, but I agree with some reviewers that treatment of the villain fell flat. How could they let him run rampant for so long?! And I really wanted an epic sword fight where Li Yuhu got to show off her sword skills (that we only get glimpses of in her practicing and occasional spar with her husband) but instead in the last episode she's just hiding beneath grandma's bed and even pushed back inside by her while the villain threatens granny. Then he goes into the secret vault himself and granny locks him in permanently?? THAT'S how he gets his comeuppance?? It was a neat way to deal with it and I guess aligned with household customs of the time (it'd be a scandal if there really was a swordfight in grandma's room) but after all the prep and buildup the lack of a real faceoff with the villain was a bit of a let down. I guess they wanted to show that he really was nothing in the bigger scope of life.

Well, whatever! Both FLs reunite in the end at the temple they first met to rest from the rain and they're both pregnant, yay! Happy ending for all.

You live your second life with the protagonist

This was the first (and possibly only) saeguk I finished watching over 10 years ago and honestly, its music, characters, and themes still stick with me. Looking back at it now is almost nostalgic—and hey, I just realized actress Zhao Qing kinda resembles the FL actress from some angles, haha.

Moving on, this drama is well-paced, epic, and emotionally moving. We essentially live 3 lives with Jang Geum as she goes from cook to physician to living her best life. I think it beautifully encapsulates all the tragedies and joys of real life—you will meet people who love you, who hate you, who hurt you and who care for you. The villains all started out as essentially good people who turned bad when they compromised their morals to get things done. You get the feel that they might have turned out differently or had happier endings if they stuck to their principles, even if that mean their road was more difficult and painful. Jang Geum did, and I think that's ultimately why she got her happy ending in the end—kindness through suffering begets its own reward.

I had a serious crush on Park Eun Hye (Yeon Saeong, Jang Geum's bestie) during this series too and was thrilled to follow her storyline to its happy ending too. The food shots were apparently researched and consulted with experts on actual historical royal feasts for accuracy and they all look super yummy. What this series needs now is a Jang Geum cookbook, because dang it it made me hungry watching it!!

The episodes might be daunting (and they do a heck of a good job putting in cliffhangers so you want to binge-watch), but you can realistically separate the series into different story arcs based on Jang Geum's life: her early stint as a cook, growing into her role and gaining popularity until she's framed and kicked out, her struggles on Jeju Island and learning to be a physician, coming back to the palace to do her duties, getting her revenge, and living happily ever after with her husband away from the palace.

It took me months of paced watching and sporadic binging to finish this. The sad parts are really sad, thanks to its excellent soundtrack and vocals. Worth a watch!!

Dark action fantasy, has depth the more you watch

Wang Xiwen's acting is so good in here okay her crying scenes broke my heart.

That aside this movie was something when it came out, I think it was the only one I've watched more than 5x in a row. I loved the mythology, the cinematography, and I'm frankly surprised it came from Edward Guo's hands since he's know for convoluted storylines but this one was clear and poignant throughout. I even joined a Discord server for the series and wrote stories for it after a while, it was just that addictive.

It has high rewatch value to me cause I picked up on details every time I went back and I'd recommend it to anyone, especially those who are a fan of bromance. Also Wang Duo is in it as a morally-gray villain again and he is sooooo good at those roles, you can watch just for him alone!

You can always trust Guo for his visuals so the overall style was dark, broody, and super stylistic + symbolic, he loves his blatant symbolism as well as his subtle hints so it's fun to catch details he slipped in on a rewatch. Music is dark and melancholy to match. I feel like a lot of his works have a subtle Japanese tinge to them so he really was the perfect director for this story based on Japanese onmyoji xD

The story was simple and straightforward but I liked the twist with the princess being the villain in the end and all the mini story arcs that wrapped up for each of the characters as they progressed. I also love the parallelism that Guo favors so much, fir st with Qing Ming listening to his master's farewells in the beginning of the movie and THEN how that elegantly segueways into his master bidding farewell to the princess that part was sooooo good it gave me sadness goosebumps.

Really sad Deng Lun got canceled in c-ent because I WANNA WATCH THE SEQUEL SO BAD DANGIT AND NOW IT'LL NEVER COME OUT...sobs have some leaked clips here I guess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEVaOqoE40M

Fantasy steeped in reality, soft angst vibes

Everyone says stop at Ep. 29 if you want the happy ending, but after I got there I was content enough to keep watching until Ep. 30. Honestly, the foreshadowing throughout the episodes were pretty subtle, but it made sense for those who were paying attention so I didn't find the big reveal in the last episode abrupt at all.

[VAGUE SPOILER REFERENCES AHEAD READ AT YOUR OWN RISK]

I really enjoyed watching the series with the villainess main character and how she struggled through her past to change everything. I like how she got everything she wanted to change from Ep. 1 to 29, and how we got more depth into her family. Whether or not they were really as warmhearted as she thought they were, at least her heart believed they were. And there's a pervasive sense of uncertainty throughout the entire story that comes with Hua Qian struggling to walk step-by-step through another day; I think her sense of fear and anxiety is very real, but it's done in the subtle angst way I like that's not in your face. Melodrama frustrates me, but Scent of Time's drama is more like incense: intense but also insubstantial, so that it doesn't hurt as much as it seeps into her pores.

It is definitely a melancholy series with sadness throughout, but I loved the reality she had to face at the end. Maybe it's because I'm older, but that's how life works: it's not perfect, and you have to deal with the consequences of your actions no matter how you regret them. Everything else is escapism.

I agree with Chinese netizens who noted that Mu Yao's acting was a little stiff (her eyes are so blank like omg) but the strength of the story carried the day so I could keep going. The sudden cameos by Sun Yi, Yang Xuwen, and Peng Xiaoran in Ep. 28-29 were hilarious considering how big names they were, but they were still enjoyable. And Zhou Ye had to stretch her acting chops to be tragic so while she's not a stellar actress I still like what she did!

I also like how even though things were tragic in EP. 30, Hua Qian stil gets a chance to be "forgiven" with Zhong and Mu Yao talking to her and Mu Yao apologizing. I like how it's Mu Yao, who's suffered the most, who tells Hua Qian to move on and let bygones be bygones, because I really think it needed to come from her.

You can write so many fanfics from this. Also, don't forget the producer has the animated extra that tells what happened to Hua Qian and Zhong Xiwu after EP. 30!! So you know, it's a happy ending no matter what: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdcOUvoh-k0

Last but not least, a part of me still believes EP. 1-29 really exists in a separate world line. There's no reason for Hua Rongzhu to have such a complex backstory otherwise, is my reasoning. Also, did you know Zhong Xiwu is actually the emperor in the novel version? Might be fun to check out hahaha: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-scent-of-time/

Anyways this is just me rambling, I'm finishing up EP. 30 as we speak and ahhhh the setup was good, the music is perfect (it's rare for me to hear piano as BGM for a costume drama used so often, feels a bit different but I like it). I was so afraid I'd hate this drama because of the twist ending but what do you know? I eat up this flavor of drama/angst/redemption exactly, and I loved it! So don't base your opinions on dramas on reviews hahaha~

If you gotta do both, watch movie before drama version of this series

Fresh off my Love O2O high I of course had to check out the movie adaptation and was kinda disappointed. Not only did they have to compress the story, they ended up compressing some of the special effects as well, or at least that was how it felt like. Those fight scenes were super lame and staged, man.

Now while Weiwei in the novel visually looks closer to Angelababy than Zheng Shuang, AB's acting is just scraping the surface of stuff. Jing Boran does not look too great in his game character get up (that silver wig is atrocious) after the memory of Yang Yang in the same role so I had trouble believing he was this amazing charming dude that everyone admired.

It's good for eye candy and I guess MV material if you take some clips, but this is like the low carb low sugar version of Love O2O.

Loved the stories and ensemble cast

Honestly this was a fun watch, the team of misfits coming together vigilante style to seek justice is always a classic especially when the personalities play off each other and they do wonderfully here. We've got disgraced former official turned leader, skillful charming opera singer, kickass girlboss with troubled past, muscle with a heart of gold, etc.

The production quality of this was limited and prone to the typical fails of the time like blatant green screen and laughably fake flowers for the trees in some key scenes but whatever, it's fun so don't take it seriously. The cut-in with manga panels and slightly longer-than-necessary camera pans to linger on characters putting on "cool poses" is also a bit distracting, but if you can deal with those the rest of the drama is fine. Each member of the main team gets their turn to shine with their own mini-story arc while there's an overarching plot to deal with a bad guy and save the day.

And thank god there aren't any unnecessary deaths at the end for drama's sake. Lovely wuxia watch with a flair for the overdramatic.

Came to laugh at the costumes, stay for the tragic white-haired elf prince

Yeah so when I first saw this I figured it was some sort of weird L.O.R.D. spinoff because of the Western fantasy aesthetic, but what the heck it had Ma Tianyu in it so I went to watch and accidentally got addicted. Can you blame me? He looks gorgeous as Ying Kongshi.

And yeah, maybe the wigs aren't the best and some effects are laughable but the actors in here put their sincerity into the production and that's what really sold the work for me. The characters and supporting cast all had their own fleshed out backstories, the history and relationship between the two ice brothers was heartwarming and tragic, and overall it was like a fun adventure romp through a mystical magic land which I loved.

I also liked how Ma Tianyu played 4 different roles in here! His acting's not the best (he scrunches his eyebrows waaaay too often to convey emotion), but he did well as human!YKS, sword spirit!YKS, normal!YKS and evil/blackened!YKS. His eyes are amazing at conveying emotion here and I cried for him during the emotional scenes. He is also super pretty anytime he came onscreen which was a plus.

Strictly speaking I didn't watch the whole thing from beginning to end; I skimmed some episodes that were too Ka Suo-centric because FSF's character didn't resonate with me (I liked his morally gray younger bro instead) but it was good and coherent...up until the last episode, where Director Guo's obfuscation ray struck.

What the heck was he thinking giving us another open/vaguely tragic ending with YKS killing himself again and again to revive his brother? This is why I treat his works with trepidation, he loves tragic endings way too much!

Also I tried to check out the sequel, Ice Fantasy Destiny which takes place in the present, but it just wasn't as appealing and the plot felt even more obscure (too many Xanatos gambits) so I gave up. I'll keep my memory of this series clean and untarnished, just like the ice kingdom.

Definitive DGSD for me

Out of all the other versions out there this is THE definitive version of DGSG for me. I didn't even know about Jin Yong's novels very well before this, but it got me hooked: three ML with unique personalities coming together as brothers, the gorgeous Wang Yuyan, the lovable Duan Yu played by Jimmy Lin (the latest one in the 2021 adaptation was a disgrace who peed his pants, and you call him a royal prince?! Gross), the super-capable Murong Fu (Xiu Qing) who did his own fights because he was just that skilled in martial arts in reality, the lovely music, etc. etc.

There's enough pacing for all of the story threads to come together, but a caveat to new viewers that this means it is told in a classic "Chinese novel" style, which means you get introduced to multiple characters at once with intersecting plotlines that meet later on, so it's a lot of cast to keep track of. If you've read novels like Romance of Three Kingdoms or Water Margin, you know the narrative style I'm talking about. Still, I could still follow it well as a teenager.

I think this embodies the strengths of cdrama in that it is heroic, realistic, tragic, romantic, and hopeful; it's a story that feels like it actually happened, with real characters and actual consequences, so that the images and lessons stay with you after it's done. The whole jianghu/wuxia vibe is strong here and it's one of the reasons I continue to love the genre so much even years later, when the fight scenes have stalled and the plots grown stale and petty.

Older ginger is spicier, as they say. Anyways, just watch it! It's good!

Dated but classic with a nice dose of whump

I watched this when young during the summer I think, and one thing that took time to sink in was that the two sisters were supposed to look "exactly alike" after they switched identities. They were not (even personality wise), lol, so you need some suspension of disbelief to run with it.

I really liked Penny Lin in this series and Joe Chen's character admittedly annoyed me with how immature she was at times, but in the end she does have character growth which made up for her faults. Also the sudden plot twist with Penny's character getting sick (I forgot what it was but it caused her pain) was definitely there to amp up the drama, but it made for super pretty angst especially in the last episode when everyone thought the villainess girl had prompted her to leave the hospital and off herself when she was literally just out for a walk LOL

Joe Chen's character falling for the eventual villain was a twist but also dramatic when he ended up offing himself instead. I remember at the time I was so annoyed with Joe's character that all I felt was "finally!! you can feel a bit of the pain you inflicted on your sister by doubting/suspecting/hurting her too!" so that was a cathartic scene LOL

Overall, being an eldest child Penny's character gave me eldest daughter syndrome sympathy and I am so so glad she got her happy ending. Also the ensemble cast of friends was also fun and fashionable and comedic, they didn't take up a lot of the screentime or plot but they had their mini arcs and worlds in the background which enriched the world. Overall a fun read!

And I was so surprised when they played an English song (Lene Marlin's Disguise) for the closing credits but it quickly became one of my favs, I was using it as the BGM for my blog once upon a time. XD

Funny, upbeat, heartwarming with a happy end

Ok but can you believe that Lu Xing (who played the handsome Bai Yutang) in this drama was also in A Journey to Love as the escort official of the princess who suddenly pulled out a bow and arrow to defend her from enemies. How time flies...

This was made during the heyday of technicolor cdramas, but which I mean the costumes were ridiculous and unrealistic and super, super bright (the princess even exposes her legs! The scandal!). So obviously high-quality production values aren't a strong suit, but the drama makes up for it with tons of heart. The characters are all genuinely lovable (even the temperamental princess), the plot is solid, Jang Nara actually looks both pretty and gorgeous in her silly getups (and especially in her cameo as the queen/her mother in the last episode or so) and best of all, there's a happy ending with twins!

It's a satisfying drama with low stakes, cute FL, and nice logic which can be rare in cdramas nowadays. Everything makes sense, ties together neatly, and has a solid set of moral principles, which I like. The impending war was even dissolved with the power of love and marriage, hahah.

I really like this drama, it's a classic rompy one from my past.

Soft melodrama with shining moments

I watched this when I was younger and the Silence song still sticks with me today. It has all of the typical tropes of childhood friends, missed meetings, misunderstandings, cancer that were popular in dramas of the time but the story wasn't weighed down by them and ofc the leads were absolute eye candy.

I found this after Park Eun Hye's Jewel in the Palace and was thrilled to see her not only in starring in a main role but in a CHINESE drama so of course I had to watch, meanwhile Vic Zhou was very young and very handsome back then. The second ML ended up being kinda annoying because he was so loud and brash all the time, but thankfully even he mellowed out by the end and had the ML and FL had their (short) happy times together.

It was also around this time that some cdramas started using English songs for stuff (100% Senorita is another one) and Josh Groban's "Try to Remember" really stuck with me as the couple song the ML and FL used to listen together on earphones...you know, back when all of them were wired so you had to sit side by side to share an earpiece. Ahhhh I cried so much at the sad scenes.

The most fun bit of this drama I think is also the "star sign" that ML and FL made up to talk about keeping connected with each other. Ending it with the FL on the beach making that sign towards the sky to the deceased ML was both pretty and tragic and beautiful and it still stays with me years after the series ended. Overall a cute series with great chemistry, average frustration (of course the ML's parents object to the match and there's another girlfriend in there), and all right plot!

I also thought it was genius they made Park Eun Hye's character mute cause that just sidestepped all the lip-sync matching issues she would've had speaking Korean for her lines!
