TianQi

As a teacher of children around the age of Tian's class, that whole kite-making/flying part just brought up so many emotions for me. This episode in general was so good.

Earth would 100% fit Darcy.

I'm not a stranger to tearing up during a BL, but this episode was the first time that something was so happy and sweet that it moved me to tears. I just want to go fly a kite now.

At the beginning of the first episode is Gene at the same property/house as the guys in I'm Tee, Me Too, or am I remembering wrong?

Lovely start to a beautiful romance. The only thing I found just a tiny bit off is when Yoo Sang confesses his love, Joon Han doesn't immediately respond to him, but instead waits for him to get outside, then comes running after later on. Earlier in the movie, we saw Joon Han indirectly confess to Yoo Sang by saying he has someone he likes. So, we already know that Joon Han consciously likes Yoo Sang and has been flirting with him. It's not like he didn't have feelings for Yoo Sang already or that he was confused about these feelings. I just feel that it would have been more realistic if he'd immediately run after Yoo Sang and followed him to the door or at least in the hallway.

I know this seems like I'm splitting hairs, but I enjoyed the acting, the piano music, the supportive friends, and production quality of this movie. I truly did. I just figured I'd point out the only thing (albeit minor) that I found strange because I know strongberry actually takes a look at our feedback here from time to time.

That's one way of looking at it, for sure. A lot of their stories are relatable to people in a specific cultural context. It could also be argued that life was more physically dangerous back then such that wandering into the forest literally meant death, so the stories reflected that. The irony of Disney is that it retells stories like these and while subtracting the violence, they often not only subtract fundamental cultural aspects, but reinforce a whole other slew of modern setbacks to our current society...like in Snow White, Cinderella and more recently: Frozen. Elsa, the beautiful anti-heroin, was a problem child who was given a second chance at doing the right thing after people begging her to see the bigger picture. Reflecting western ideals of individualism and making a way for one's self in spite of what those close to you think. Mulan on the other hand 'broke the rules' and betrayed her family's 'honor' in order to preserve it, and in order to do so, she had to save the whole country. While in the original story of Mulan, her family was in full awareness of what she did, but supported her...but in Disney's eyes, it's easier for Disney to rely on western perception of Asian societies to fit a similar narrative...nevermind the actuality of women in Asian cultures for centuries.

I guess what I'm getting at is that fairy tales aren't usually meant to illustrate more than one ethic at a time and that the obvious ethical lesson that's illustrated by the end of stories like the one of the kid eating it's mother in this show which is: as a child, you're a burden to your parents even though they love you, so try to treat them right is the one kids are directed to pay attention to. Stories from the 1800s, MY's stories, and Disney movies clearly illustrate very valuable morals while simultaneously being problematic when being looked at under more adult scrutiny. When stories are told in less problematic ways, it's great, but it's difficult and not often done.

You know Cinderella? Well, in one of the original versions, one of her stepsisters cuts off her own big toe and the other one cuts off a bit of the back of her heel so that their feet can fit into the glass slipper when the Prince comes to check. LOL I feel like most all fairytales are just horribly inappropriate for the most part.

Yeah. Bright actually has a decent bit of experience and I've since seen his acting in two other series and it wasn't anything like this. I don't know why though. Maybe directing?

I love this concept and Kao is extremely handsome, so I really want this to be good. In light of that, I can already see where issues may arise in terms of execution. So in light of *that*, I'll be placing my expectations firmly on the floor and hoping for the best.

This is what I mean. I liked this drama. It was predictable, but it was fun. I found the actors to be competent and the chemistry to be lovely.
It's just that plot-wise, it was literally step-by-step, we know what's going to happen next and what the next line is (verbatim at that since we speak Chinese! lol). I say "we" because I watched this one with my bf.
I just feel like this one, aside from slightly better acting skills (at times), could have been another one of the HIStory series installments. I'm also, personally, not new to BL either.

You used a lot more adjectives to talk *about* me than you used to talk to me directly. How mature. ^_^ You're still heavy in (weak) personal attacks and faulting in actual criticism of the subject matter.
Since you spoke of sleep, why don't you go do that, sweetheart? When you want to present logic, in any form, the comment section will still be here.

LMAO

You're not alone. Respectfully.

I don't know if it's 'good', per se, but accurate, definitely. I still just would have liked to have seen the abusers get a little beaten up. haha

Same. It has eng subs now.

I watched the first five minutes and got confused, so I came here to read the synopsis.....I am now more confused.

I guess I'll just use my imagination then. ^_^

You might want to tag this one as a spoiler.

I second this.

- in the book Tan kills Por (I could see how that would have happened and I think they could have managed to fit this in the show)
- in the book Pued is in love with Bun (HOLY SH*T lol)
