Windchime

Ah, my comment wasn't referring to whether they had survived or not. Since the ending is open to interpretation and there's a slight chance that they indeed made it out alive. Because the director once said that he made the ending ambiguous on purpose as he wants the adults to fear the fact that they could be too late in understanding their kid's problems (this makes even more sense when you remember that one scene where it seemed like one of the kids jumped off the balcony and his mom was worried - it's a pattern, this entire movie's visual storytelling follows a very specific pattern) but he also wants to show kids that, with courage, they can be happy. I don't remember the exact interview it was from, but I'll try to find it.

That aside, I was saddened by the train in my comment because it was their safe space; it was that one place where they could be themselves, it sheltered them, it meant a lot to them and probably didn't survive or could be used the same way because the mountain 'collapsed' (no idea what other word to use for it, English isn't my first language).

The fighting choreography seems to be great. I'd watch the entire drama just for the fighting scenes alone.

"Privacy isn't like money. When you steal it, they don't even know. As long as they don't find out, they won't feel a thing." Damn 💀

Here's to hoping somehow Haoyixing would grace our eyes too 🤞 I swear they can just show us the trailer for ONE fucking second and it'll break the Internet.

Woa, all the upcoming works of Satomi appear interesting.

The way Kei's first tactic to confirm that Riko can see her is to lean in closer until they're almost kissing 💀 I need that confidence in my life. Or afterlife.

Imma be real, I'll watch anything with an assassin lead. You could add an assassin in Teletubbies and I'd watch the shit out of it too.

Hearing their relieved voices say "it's safe" and then watching it collapse... I usually don't get emotional because mama didn't raise no bitch but this scene and movie broke my heart. These poor children had this one tiny safe place in this huge world. Even the people who were supposed to care for them, love them, raise them, couldn't give the comfort that abandoned train did.

I'm a simple person. I see Satomi, I add it to my ptw.

That's such a pretty and entertaining article! The gifs, images and gentle colour pallete was pleasing to the eyes and I can totally see why these dramas are highly anticipated. Personally, out of all the dramas listed here, I'm looking forward to 'The Immortal Ascension' the most, because I've read the original novel and I think they might do a great job adapting it. Other ones, although not listed (for obvious reasons ofc, since the dramas here are more or less confirmed to air, danmei adaptions aren't), is Immortality/haoyixing and Chasing the Light but I feel like there's higher chances of me sprouting wings one day and living on a tree branch than for these dramas to air at this point.

If there was a 'try not to cry while watching angsty gls' challenge I'd probably fail it like a test I didn't study for.

Edit: just noticed that nobody posted where to watch it yet so I'll do it instead because I have nothing better to do.

Honestly, I get why you might've felt this way, although I must say that you handled it well and still replied politely to them. There's nothing wrong with constructive criticism and it's actually something that every writer appreciates. If that user had merely left constructive criticism, nobody would've minded it.

It was that 'I saw your profile, you talked about yourself' and personal remarks towards you and your friends which crossed the line. If you're going after the author herself, it's no longer about the article and it's anything but criticism. They're saying that you don't need to mention your cultural background in an article about cultural shocks, but why are they interested in your background (that they wanted to know through your profile) just to criticise the writing of an article?

Not even an atom of self-awareness to be seen, you're pointing out something that you did yourself yet see nothing wrong with. I do get the irony in not ignoring the comment of a user who couldn't ignore an article of someone else's. But sure, replying to a comment is on-par with checking a writer's profile, complaining that they don't act according to your needs, and declare that you blocked them. Feel free to focus on one aspect so you won't have to acknowledge the rest.

I love your comment! it's really helpful since if someone asked me to explain that "what about me?" effect, I can just show this to them. It's truly the peak of this phenomenon.

Because imagine being so upset with someone's article that you check their profile and then complain that their own bio is about themselves. How dare they not write about you instead? The world revolves around you. How dare their article not fit your taste? Everything should cater to you. How dare mdl show an article that you don't like? Everyone else is more than happy to scroll away when they don't like anything, but you're different, you're special. It shouldn't be required for you to even move a finger, unless you're typing out a comment to declare that you want to block someone. I can clearly tell that you want the article off your front page and want to have nothing to do with the writer, I definitely see no weird obsession that led you to literally checking their profile, leaving behind a salty comment and replies, instead of just... ignoring it, like a very normal person would.

This was amazing! They can make a whole drama out of this short, but at the same time, having this as a movie that's mere few minutes long makes it exactly as memorable as Sea is to the MC; she stayed for a while, but left behind her image forever imprinted on his mind. He might not remember her face but he remembers her, clearly.

I'm glad that he's trying out dramas! I've always liked the way he shot his movies, and each episode of MJTY felt like a movie of its own because of his amazing cinematography skills; plus, his symbolism and visual-storytelling is top notch. I wish more movie directors would start creating cdramas in general, I get a feeling that Zhang Yimou would also do a great job at it.

I'M SO HYPED

Yep!

Love how we all can collectively agree on the fact that he has one of the hottest voice in the entire cdramaland 😌
