It's different so intriguing-- obviously came to watch for Dew&Nani, only to love Film and Jane (who I'm excited is leading Beauty Newbie!). Still hate Kay (Talay from F4 Thailand) and it's weird seeing Cindy submissive to someone else (F4 squad wya). But so far (ep3) it's interesting enough that I want to keep watching. Obviously a lot of the things the school has them do is messed up and weird but I'm choosing to trust the process for now :p
another hana yori remake? when are they gonna be done with this shit? yeah great acting and all.but for fucks…
I agree with the plot-- but it's what people love. Basically another adaptation, so they change it very minimally to fit in with the different culture/social aspects, but mostly the same. I guess I just like how the cast fits so well unlike the other adaptations, and you can't help but feel their chemistry.
Currently rewatching it because MAN. This cast is so phenomenal. They're all just so beautiful and perfect, the two female leads and four male leads are all unbelievably good-looking and fit their role so perfectly.
Hi can you please tell me if they have any breakups and if so how many .and if he loses hes memory of her in this…
Not only does it take a while for them to get together, but once they do they of course always fight and have their breakups. If you watched the other versions, it's super similar including the memory loss. But this version was my fav :D Probably because the cast is so good looking.
I agree, Chinese actresses must have so much competition with their huge population and all that they have to…
The national pride issue... I can see how others might see it as a North vs. South situation (The North is a literally a dictatorship where citizens have zero freedom) but it's completely different from the China vs. the rest of the world motto they implement in their publicized works. OF COURSE a country would be proud of their achievements, especially countries that are young and thriving. However, I just wanted to point out that a lot of Western Cdrama watchers can see how adamant their "China represents the top of the world" mentality as opposed to an American viewpoint. This is probably why you have seen such comments before, as have I, hence the comment. America is in fact the strongest nation in the world (though as an American myself I can attest to the many MANY economic and social issues prevalent today, but that conversation would take too long) and even though this is a fact, the media here does not portray "we have to win this for America" or "show the world we are the best" in every single show-- even the shows you gave examples of are war shows, so a very specific genre, and even they don't portray such a nationalistic view.
I can see how I might seem to discriminate based on my comments, and I acknowledge that no person will ever have a completely unbiased perspective. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to devalue China's worth whether it's in terms of media production or anything. I have Chinese relatives as well as friends. I respect some of their practices just like how I disagree with some other values. I was pointing out a few things that I find can be misleading to a greater audience, not necessarily something I detest since I do acknowledge China has different political views with a lot of the rest of the world. Thank you for the response, as it gives me a chance to organize some thoughts into a mature conversation.
So for Thai dramas, do they always do the trailer/teaser filming AND the promotional press before they start filming? I find this fascinating for some weird reason. I heard about filming the trailer beforehand to gather interest before they actually start filming because of the situation with Beauty Newbie cast change and that really got me interested in how that really works.
I saw some sort of press thing for this drama but at the same event Dew was also promoting another project (I think) so was that like a beginning of the year thing for media companies to get the public interested?
After watching my first Thai drama F4Thailand, I knew I had to watch this to get the interactions we deserve from our lead actors. Episode 1 was definitely good-- I really like how the genre is SO different from anything I've watched before. It has the horror element a little along with mystery and thrill. It seems like there will be a romance, since he's not actually a teacher and with the ep1 ending they'll have to stick together... I don't need romance to be the main but I do really hope we get something, anything really (a hug, holding hands, idk!). I'm watching so many Korean shows atm but they're all mid and this one really has me fixed. Some scenes were a TAD slow because of the silence and repetitiveness, but still good. Fingers crossed they are able to fit in everything in 4 episodes! Man he is hot.
I tried adding HongJiYoon manually but the site staff said it had to be deleted :/
