Still if someone could let me know if it at least has a happy ending for the main couple, then I might give it a try. ....otherwise, I'm not up for another Chinese sobfest of a tragedy.
Having been a victim of bullying all through school, watching a friend nearly lose an eye because of it....seeing my daughter suffer as well and seeing nothing had changed in 30 years....schools still refusing to admit it even existed.....I'm genuinely not sure I could watch this.
Pookie -- you and me both.......he was brilliant in Voice and Temperature of Love; but I will ALWAYS love him…
My favourites of his are the same as yours. I still rewatch them often. Have you seen him in The Guest yet? The drama itself is as scary af, but his acting is superb.
I've been thinking the same too. Maybe he's in a coma in a hospital somewhere, the way the woman in red is. That…
He was only partially buried though, that's how he recognised himself. So if his spirit was wandering and THEN his body was found.....yeah, yeah...I know. ..look at the pretty straws I'm clutching at....???? But I will cling to them still because I really don't want him to be dead........
Yeah, I've had to start watching it with the light on and NOT in bed in thr dark.....I woke my husband upmwith my scream of fright, and it's only episode 2. Lol! Brilliant horror though.
We do - it's a shame that person tried to ruin him, but there's a lot of sick and twisted people in the world. At least he's pushing forward and reclaiming his life. :)
I'm still a beginner as it's super hard, but I've got a few phrases down. A cousin who was working in China for a few years has just come home and said he'd help me. Whixh is brilliant. :)
*prays for a happy ending* (I think your prayer is more likely to answered!)
I think Chinese culture has sort of deemed love to only be worthy if there's angst, suffering and death/maiming involved. It's weird as I've been told by a friend living in China, that most people don't really enjoy a cute romance drama, or passionate drama like this one, if there's a happy ending.....basically suffering sells. Lol! Hopefully this one will break that mould......but I won't hold my breath. ;D
My daughter is ARMY and I learnt a lot about BTS so I would have something to chat to her about. I found I loved their music, and looked into Kpop more generally. Although BTS is my favourite, I've really liked a lot of Kpop groups; Big Bang is one of them - but the one thing about ALL of them that worries me as a mum is the amount of pressure they're put under.
The amount of suicides, and deaths from overwork and exhaustion, in the past 18 months of idols and actors should really be telling the management companies that their treatment of these youngsters and their slightly older counterparts are NOT good and should stop.
Even Big Hit, seen as the 'nice' management company, is ridiculous with the pressure on BTS. BTS 'Burn the Stage' and now this documentary shows the REAL world, and its hellish existence, for these groups. It's all very hard to watch and, as a mum, my heart breaks for these boys and girls who - at least to me (I'm 53) - are little more than kids. They're given no freedom; can't date, can't be true to who they are, can't be normal human beings, can't rest or visit family....it's barbaric. If we kept dogs on such short leashes and worked them like this we'd be arrested (and rightly so) - so how come we can treat young people like this?
I think if the 25 year old teacher rejects him as a love interest until he leaves high school - aged 18 or so - then I could see it working without too much condemnation. But if she's basically dating him at 14+ then it's an issue. But remember that with Queer as Folk USA, Justin Taylor was 17 and Brian Kinney was 29 when they met, so even here in the West large age gaps (QAF age gap was 12 years) are not rare. Even in the real world large age gaps happen - my aunt was 16 years younger than my uncle when they met, she was 20 and he was 36. In the entertainment industry there's 22 years between director Sam Taylor-Johnson and her husband the actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Aaron being the younger partner) and 25 years between Catherine Zeta Jones her husband Michael Douglas.
Really looking forward to this but I can't see it staying true to the original, it's too dark for Korea so I wonder…
I really never believed they were siblings in the original - I think the old man was just doing his best to keep them with him; but the ending was just BRUTAL. I really hope they change it for the Korean version; the Japanese original tore my heart up......
aww wow! you managed to see My Little Monster? I'm so looking forward to being able to watch that - did you see…
Only clips and segments that are floating around the internet sadly as I reside in the UK. But there's been enough bits and pieces to see they've tried to stick to the manga as much as possible and he's a brilliant Haru. He's REALLY like the anime version; the clips I've seen brings back so many memories of the anime. :)
My favourite roles of his were (in order) 1. Princess Jellyfish - 2. My Little Monster - 3. Drowning Love - 4. Dele. However, there's many we can't get to watch here in the UK, so I'm pretty sure if I could there'd a be a ton more on the list; he's NEVER bad in any role. He's a truly amazing actor and if I see his name on a cast list I automatically watch it.
