It’s so funny how they wont mention COVID by name. Is it that much of a taboo?

First you decided I couldn’t separate an actress from her character. When I clarified that I liked the character, you decided I must be incapable of appreciating subtle acting. Apparently, the only explanation you’ll entertain is that anyone who disagrees with you doesn’t understand what they’re watching.

I understand understated acting. My criticism is that her performance didn’t communicate enough emotional variation to make the character convincing. Calling it “microexpressions” doesn’t answer that criticism. Which scenes? Which changes? You’ve offered plenty of certainty and no specific examples.

“Just because it isn’t your cup of tea doesn’t mean it’s poor” works both ways: your enjoyment doesn’t establish its quality either. You’re entitled to find her nuanced. You’re not entitled to invent my viewing preferences so you can lecture me about them.

"追了几集后，吐槽的声音如同决堤的洪水，铺天盖地而来。剧情的魔改姑且不论，最令人难以接受的，是孙千的表现。仿佛她与角色格格不入，硬生生将一个都市大女主塑造成了一个刚起床，还没睡醒的高中生。更糟糕的是，她的妆造，仿佛在刻意放大每一个缺点，将所有精心设计的氛围感，悉数抹去。"

"然而，这一切还不是最让人失望的。孙千的演技，全程像是掉线了一般。面无表情，仿佛永远一副呆滞的模样，比那灾难般的妆造更让人提不起兴致。她脸上永远是那张相同的木讷表情，眼神空洞涣散，仿佛灵魂出窍，总是在发呆，喜怒哀乐都只能靠一个僵硬的表情来硬撑。开心的时候，嘴角只是微微动一下；难过的时候，眉毛只是微微皱一下。所有的情绪波动都像是被按下了暂停键，没有丝毫的层次感。台词更是灾难，说话总是缺乏气势，声音飘忽不定，像含着棉花一样。一句简单的职场对话，都被她演绎得软弱无力，毫无底气可言。"

I am so glad I am not the only one who thinks her acting is sh!t. And mind you this isnt the only drama of her that she has received this criticism, most of her dramas, the supporting actresses easily outshine her coz she is that bad.

That was exactly my thought! Sounds like the same story

I am hoping they do a spin off just about her! I would love that...

This better not have a stupid sad ending, J dramas are notorious for that so I am not holding my breath.

I love the character, I am hating on her because she is not good at acting. This was such a good character and she chopped it on the block with her expressionless "acting". You can have your opinion on her and I can have mine. She basically had a flat expressionless face for 3/4th of the whole series. I was going to make a whole photo board to prove my point that she had just one expression throughout most of the drama but I realized I shouldn't waste my time. The actresses who play Sun Yu or Lumi or Lucy are much better than her.

One thing I love about the couple in this drama is that there is no power imbalance despite the ML being rich. The FL gives back as much as she receives, so dont worry!

Where does the role suggest eye-candy? Sorry, am I missing something?

He met her for the film, I dont think he knew at that point the actress liked him. In the novel, she kind of blindsides him by telling him she will clarify their status through her PR agency but then going behind his back and giving a very ambiguous response that leads to netizens thinking they are actually together. He deals very well with her in the novel, I think he will do the same in the drama tomorrow.

She is some actress that went to the same high school as him and her dad was his teacher ( at least in the novel). She is supposed to star in some movie about a female pilot that the ML is sponsoring to promote his airlines. She is trying to get with the ML but he has zero interest in her.

QTQ as Sun Yu is perfect! Her scene and her crying hit me out of the blue, she is a great actress! Girl, made me feel all the feels... I hope she gets more main roles in the future.

I think I am forever a Sun Qian hater after this drama and she was wasted on such a role.

Thats exactly what I said! If he wasnt conventionally hot, in the novel or the drama, people would be yelling at Flora to run...

This is an excellent analysis and you are right, it doesnt come across very well in the drama version.

This relationship only lasted so long because SZT was young. Luke would never get away with this sh!t with his older girlfriends. A woman in her 30s would never put up with this and that makes Luke’s character seem even more predatory. We love it because it’s not us this is happening to, but boy if SZT were to post her story on Reddit, every commenter would ask her to leave 😂 😂 😂
And even SZT is coming to her senses as she is nearing her 30s.

Yes I read the novel, she isn’t stone faced.

I wanted to watch this drama for SZT, but Sun Qian is so bad at acting she is pulling me out of scenes. Someone told me to wait and give her a chance, but it’s been 17 episodes and it’s like watching a piece of wood. Look at Lucy when she learns about the email first in the meeting with Luke and Dony, and then when she makes that speech about calling the police, you can tell this girl really felt what Flora had gone through. Meanwhile, the scene with Flora and Dony in the dining room of the hotel, or when Flora is listening to Kitty talk about the photos, or when she is debating with the board investigators, etc. Sun Qian is giving NOTHING as Flora. This could have been such a powerful episode from an acting standpoint for this character.

I hate the infantilization of the voice from Esther Yu but she has such an expressive face that at least I can watch her with subtitles on and feel like she is the character, but Sun Qian is I think one of the worst Chinese actresses I have seen so far.

How much do you think he charges to style other people?

Luke the dog is such a good actor!

Also I am loving the show Lumi as much as I loved the novel Lumi. The actress is quite good as well at portraying Lumi.

I need to know who styled JBR coz he is giving…
