Could happen, but the odds are low, so it's not really worth speculating about, nor will we ever learn of it if so.

FL realizes ine13-14 ML knew all this time, but the connection to the other work is not made.

This take is mildly crazy. It's like on MDL all the judging happens between 6 - 9 & if it's 0.5 points lower something is trash.

I wish more people wrote honest reviews with honest ratings instead of giving 7 to bad & 10 to stuff they still criticize a lot..

>I finished it in 3 days, despite the boring parts, i can still give it a 8,5.

Exactly, you felt the need to make a comment despite the average rating being only 0.6 lower than yours xD How did we end up here?

I'm watching e6 rn and I have concerns. The characters talk about Meteor Garden a lot & the new romantic interest is already annoying me after 10 minutes. Is this going to be one of those shows??

Imo the one thing they should actually do is to ban malnourished actresses on TV. While I agree that makeup is often way too much, it's a minor problem in comparison.

I think First Frost is a better vibe drama than this one, yes they are the same genre, but it seems to have more soul I don't know. Though I'm not saying this is a bad one, I'm only 5 eps in..

Why is he driving omg.

This is rarely a valid argument, the writers knew the episode count, but the sad reality of Korean TV is that the last episode's quality is always an afterthought on the writing side. Pump the cliffhangers, keep the mystery going as long as possible & then just do whatever random things in the last 40-60 minutes to somehow reach the ending credits. I'm surprised people are still putting up with this & that writers that ALWAYS do this don't get cancelled / unpopular. (ironically the main writer here has not really done this in her previous two -known- dramas, Still 17 is one of the better kdramas I can remember.)

Let me reiterate, in both dramas everything was dubbed. The only question is how many of the original actors dubbed over themselves vs. professional voice actors.

In Chinese dramas everything is dubbed. Often by the same actors doing the acting.
Esther Yu is certainly dubbing herself..
So the Thai is certainly dubbed as well, the only question is whether they used native Thai voice actors, or just just random people from China. Since I don't speak Thai, I have no idea.

Yes & in most countries you are allowed to start on alcohol after high school graduation & drive even earlier, what is the issue here?

It's not consistent.

>What you call propaganda is actually a reflection of reality. Why shouldn't their entertainment use this type of success as a background to the story?"

I'm not sure if you even understand what I'm talking about here. You are right China's PV industry is a huge success, I'm not contesting that, but there are so many small embedded propaganda talking points in the show, many times not related to PV at all.

It's 50/50 yes, but the business part is somewhat palatable, certainly above the cdrama average. It's more of a problem that there is a bit too much communist propaganda in there, about the photovoltaic industry, about China being suppressed and some other agendas..

I still have a couple episodes left, but I think this is quite good in the chill cdrama romance genre. The FL has many very satisfying aura farming moments etc..

I got 'When the Weather Is Fine' which is honestly not a bad recommendation for me.

Happens all the time in the historical genre, but of the contemporary shows I've seen I can only think of one, The Beauty Inside.

Though I think there are a couple more where a well off celebrity gets together with a businessman or executive.

I'm only up to e15-ish, but if you want strong jealousy this is really not it so far. Don't expect 3 way handgrabs, only face slaps. FL is basically recovering from her past love & ML is taking very calculated slow advantage.

Here is another: If a kdrama character drives without a driver's license, they'll either crash the car or be caught by the police.

As for why I think kdrama self censorship is often worse is because cdramas are always preproduced & the writers often try to work within the limitations of the system, the idea space may be more limited but they at least try. (well ok, they do the school chase in every second drama, but other than that)
Kdramas with live filming seemingly walk into these problematic topics way more often & then the predictable & forced outcomes pile up in the final episodes ruining the entire show.

For example I really like the cdrama First Frost. If that were a kdrama, the writers would have certainly spent a few flashbacks highlighting the mom's struggles & then somehow force a mini reconciliation & I cannot put it into words how much I would've hated that.

1. Yes. (the final episode is great fluff)
2. Surprisingly it's above average.
3. Not sure it's been a long time probably not great & ML's acting is really bad.
4. Don't remember.
