Just saw the trailer for ep 20... Can we end this madness now please? Lol. The Fl knows he's not a bad guy, but she can't stop lying and gaslighting him. It's making any future connection between them seem insane. How could you ever trust someone who lied and deceived you at every turn.. Fingers crossed for a solution soon!
can anyone tell me if all the Chinese medicine remedies like accupressure, keeping an apple while you sleep etc.…
When I lived in China with my partner, he insisted on visiting a TCM hospital. He was prescribed herbs, his pulse was taken. They told him it was an imbalance. It was six months before he visited a 'western' doctor for proper blood tests, and it turned out that he had heart disease. I wouldn't risk my health by trusting in a practice that focuses on antidotal evidence rather than science-led research. Just my two cents. I will say things like massage, taking herbs to lower stress and aid sleep, etc, are all valid in my mind as alternative therapies. But that's where it ends.
Meh this drama falls into the great visuals, both are very good looking in a model like way but I also feel very…
Same. It's beautifully lit and I appreciate the pacing. But all of the TCM talk and the very obvious inclusion of Huawei mobiles (I've also seen this in Filter) makes me think the censorship rules are being doubled down on. Btw, I don't mind learning about TCM, but it comes up a lot in the drama. I also feel completely nonplussed by the romance. It just doesn't feel real between the characters at any point, unlike First Frost, which is shot in a similar way, but the emotional hits land every time. They actually feel like two people falling in love.
As for what you said about the actress... I must be desensitised by all the C/K-dramas I've watched because I didn't notice her being thinner than usual. I've known women who can't be more than 50-55kg called fat in China and Korea. The male actors are often thin, even underweight as well. But it's seen as the norm, and unfortunately, I don't see it changing any time soon.
Someone in the comments said the writer had a sacrifice kink. After the last episode, I second that. I mean, the solution can't always be 'I don't want you to die, so let me go in your place'. And MJ... I adore him. But come on, dude... let her go. She's miserable. The solution to saving your depressed aunt isn't killing yourself when you're the only thing she's been living for. :O. At this point, I'd love to see a more level-headed reaction just for a change of pace>MJ could bring everyone together, and be like, I don't wanna die. I don't want my aunt to die. Solutions, anyone? (Meanwhile CM is in the corner yelling that she wants to die).< And if they can't work out a solution, I say we start sending all these Fox clan members who are so eager to throw someone else under the bus up for elimination. Now, that's a twist xD.
