ShortCircuit

According to the summary of the first two seasons of the webtoon, he does. I have only read the summary though, LOL.

Hostage Prince TTJ only, I have him as my account pfp on my personal computer LOL. He'll only be surpassed by CWN when he comes. If I survive til then, LOL.

So I went to take a look at Yan An just for a bit and now it's 5 eps later. Time for a rewatch I guess.

PS I had almost forgotten how good the OST is...

This is a binge drama. However I decided watching it weekly is the way so now I suffer.

That being said, it kind of slowed down in the last two eps, and I really want to see PHU's redemption arc. At this speed of development I guess it'll come in another season...

They went pretty much through the whole manga (at least the most important arcs, anyway). If they'd do another, it would be some random filler or side-quest type of story. I'd rather they leave it like that (and have it become a legendary series, so far pretty much the only manga-based-turned-live-action series that actually works great) than ruin it for the sake of milking it out the franchise...

It's satisfactory and ties up most plot points. It does leave a few tangled and it definitely leaves a huge place for a possible sequel.

But it's so worth it.

Drama schadenfreude is delicious.

I'm only interested in Cashero (seems like it's been forever since announced, still doesn't have an airing date), Hong Rang (hopefully this time they don't bury Lee JaeWook again as in TIH), and maybe Kim SeonHo's drama (been missing him since the scandal).

But only Hong Rang has a tentative date sometime in May, the others could come in December if at all.

The rest of the list is kind of meh.

I bet they just say they don't, but that's neither here or there. Have you read the novel? Is it good? I've never moved past danmei, but I might give it a try (after Kai Duan, if I ever start it, LOL).

Yeah, well, in DOTS we ALL saw the whole team doing the rounds in the morning. We and the doctors. And whoever else wanted to watch. And there was a lot of muscles to be watched.

... We all did it for science, obviously.

I never doubt the strength of cdrama leads, LOL, I've watched too many wuxia/xianxia to ever doubt that. I mean, one should trust in the strength of wires hahaha~

Thanks! The rating keeps sinking, I think I'll wait it out for a bit.

I'd rather he doesn't become a soldier anyway. I'll take skinny volunteer (though he looked a lot healthier in Hidden Love) over way-too-thin soldier, LOL.

You gave it a 4.5 though, LOL, according to your list at this time. What's wrong with it?

Oh, that rating. That bad, huh? Or what else is going on with it?

ZRY looked perfectly fine in the first JoL, then he slimmed down to looking almost sick in UtM and JoL2. All three are costume dramas, too. And he didn't look so healthy in SSS, either, come to think of it.

And some of them pull it off without slimming down into nothing - just look at Wang HeDi in GotD, he looks amazing!! (And while thin, he's not unhealthy slim.) And also Deng Wei in TTEOTM. Or Tian JiaRui in Fangs of Fortune.

You know what. Actually all the male actors in FoF looked like a BAZILLION bucks. Riley Wang. Ummmm.

... Okay now I'm remembering Ren JiaLun's fake abs in TBW LOL. Gotta stop thinking about wet and naked cdrama actors.

ETA Yan An though. Mmmmmhm!

Xiao Zhan is convincingly powerful in The Youth Memories, acting as a soldier, too. But usually they're all so slim, and it takes away some of the disbelief. Even BJT - he was kind of way too thin in You Are My Hero (despite the training sequences too, LOL).

The actually normal-strong-looking men I've seen in cdrama were all in the Nirvana in Fire duology (so far), hahaha. Wang Kai was (still is) one of my favourites because of that role, and TBH... Huang XiaoMing looked SO good in S2. But that kind of role/actor is so rare, and there's a lot of time in-between. *sad mood, sigh*

Thank you. Voids are love, voids are life. (My cat owners made me write this, halp.)

TBH, I did watch the first ep and I like the ML (yes I'm shallow, what of it?) But it's the FL that caught my attention. She has an aloofness - particularly with her family around - that I find really interesting.

That being said, it's on hold for now because seriously, why is she suddenly so obsessed? And also, to paraphrase Rick Blaine - of all the cities in China, of all the buildings in the city that it rains on... he has to hold up an umbrella for her at that particular building?! LOL. The writing needs to improve, and fast. I'll still give it a try, because of the FL. But I am not really caught.

Happily, they didn't make him a soldier, 'cause he sure doesn't seem to be one (what is it with the cdrama obsession with people being stick-thin?! If the wind blows a bit harder, it'll take the leads and ta-da, they won't be in Kansas anymore, no red shoes needed!)

As for cnetz - just a thing: if the producers didn't want it to be compared to DOTS, they shouldn't have borrowed so much from DOTS (I don't mean they plagiarised, because things are different, BUT it does look like they heavily leaned on things that are a bit similar to get a bit more interest due to the fame cone of DOTS.) And if they meant that similarity, please please please cdrama producers of TWOT... DO NOT BORROW the same freaking ending!! (because that ruined that drama, LOL).

PS Also Wang ZhuoCheng is in this, so I'll probably watch it anyway for him, because he'll always be my favourite frustrated straight-arrow king-of-side-eye rolls JC :D

69? Like... should we get out the flies or the mice now? :D

So you're saying... it's an alternative science facts show? :D

....I'll see myself out.

PS Star Wars never intended to go beyond science fantasy, though. Not even science fiction.

PPS Wait now I'm getting into this a bit more. The Martian is hard sci fi (minus the Martian winds that DO exist, but couldn't really get that powerful.

Bonus: nobody following real science would've missed this, but for those who never went there... mankind sent a little quake-measuring robot on Mars, and it recorded Martian wind sounds. They're very weak, and given the Martian atmosphere you probably couldn't really hear them by ear only, or not much, but they exist. Wind sounds, on another planet. When Insight beamed it home, I teared up. THIS is science.
