i really liked dew´s acting in F4 and home school, but his last 2 dramas has been so bad
A script and a director have to be really good - I have learned this about the dramas I have seen. You can have an amazing cast and if the script and directing is bad - you have a bad drama. I refer back to the k-drama Apple of My Eye. The cast was amazing - had great chemistry and lots of darn good veteran actors - BUT the script was HORRIBLE and the directing was HORRIBLE - some scenes left you scratching your head wondering WHY???
And yes, some casting has been questionable in other dramas - you can also tell when a cast just doesn't seem like they fit. They really should do those test reads as a group BEFORE casting the whole cast. - that would give them a better idea if they all have a good fit with each other as a cast. I know that is time and money though so we get what we get.
(This is my personal opinion, which is a valid one, you don't have to like it.)Gosh I have a feeling this will…
I totally agree! And I would LOVE to see Korea or China do remakes of those Thai dramas. I bet they would be amazing! Thai does revenge lakorns best. I could absolutely see a Korean version of My Forever Sunshine and Kleun Cheewit. China does Youth/school dramas the best for me.
It's impossible to defend it. After an idiotic plot, we are left with a bunch of annoying characters. I don't…
I haven't started this one yet but all the comments are making me feel like I shouldn't. I said from the very beginning before it aired that the c-drama was the best and I wasn't sure it could surpass that one - even the Korean version wasn't that good but it was watchable.
Can anyone recommend similar dramas (school or college stories)... Only Chinese and Korean plz
Flourish in Time is a sweet school drama with Zhang Ling He. I just rewatched it again. Other c-dramas: A River Runs Through It Meeting You A Love So Beautiful, Go Ahead The Big Boss A Little Thing Called First Love All I Want for Love is You The Love Equations Don't Disturb My Study Please Classmate First Romance Growing Pain 1 & 2 Love O2O My Deskmate My Unicorn Girl Skate into Love When We Were Young
I am up to episode 9 now and i am really loving this drama. I dont even mind that it is a very slow burner, laid back kind of drama. The blogposts at the end of each episode are wonderful. And I love the poems and books the bookclub discuss. Some of the poems are so heartwarming and so true to life.
I have always said I don't care what happens to the bad humans in movies and dramas - I just can't stand to see animals hurt. So hopefully this cute little pup survives to the end.
