What sharkamy said also a lot of activity is done close to floor level low tables etc. so I think it would be…
Good point! I noticed the furniture in the older times was a lot lower than the modern, which would make this a critical requirement.
I also observed that, mostly in older series, it must be very cold in the set, since the actors' breathing condensation shows big time. They seem to have corrected it in newer series because I seldom note it. However, when watching an older series, it's always there.
I don't know if it has any correlation with history or anything. But in my grandma old house or other relatives…
Thanks @SharkamyIt makes sense. The production team, director and actors would not want a dusty set. The only problem I see is if it's hot and the water evaporating would increase the humidity, thus decreasing the comfort level a bit. But I guess it's better than dusty.
Cool short series, lighthearted and easy to watch. The short time makes it go straight to the point and have no fillers. Story and acting are good enough to keep us entertained and watch it to the end. Despite not 100% original, the story is nice and could be more developed for a normal lenght drama.
This is a more general question because I noticed this in several Chinese dramas. What's the deal with the wet floors? I noticed that in several dramas the floors are wet (sometimes soaking wet) even indoors, so it cannot be simulating after rain. I noticed this occurring a few times in JOL S2 also. Is it too much dust on the set? But it would show on the furniture and other stuff.
I am struggling to finish it. Can someone tell me whats up with the loops. I want to get spoilered lol
The loops' origin isn't clear. Only thing is that they have to solve the terrorist threat in order to get out of the loops, which they eventually do. Like the girl said, she wanted to solve them because "it was painful to keep dying in the explosions."
Finally completed S2. It was an excellent show. Great production, excellent direction, acting and OST. Definitely well worth the wait and I hope the production team and actors can deliver a S3 at a similar level.
It was a bit more "mellow" than S1 and, as I already discussed here with other posters, it's understandable, since this is a more "strategic" part of the story. Because of that I used Nirvana in Fire (a 10/10) as a benchmark to grade it 9.5/10.
I also found that Gina Jin played a much more tamed version of Ye Ling Er than Han Jiu Nuo did, and I could barely recognize the character. So, hopefully no more actors/actresses replacements and a short wait until S3.
That's why I watched parts of several episodes after I completed the second one. I wanted to give it a chance before dropping. I guess that it has a lot to do with the very slow pace, which added to the overall theme, could not keep me interested. Just to give you an idea, I am not a Hitchcock or Agatha Cristie fan also. ;-)
I do not have a preference for any specific genre. There are some, however, that usually rarely please me. Crime/Suspense is one. However, there are some that I like. For example, I enjoyed A Murderous Affair in Horizon Tower and Tunnel (2017 Korean drama). However, also dropped Born Again (2020 Korean drama). Right now I am watching In the Name of the Brother and close to also drop it.
Approx. five. The two first ones and parts of others. The criminal/suspense genre usually doesn't appeal to me but I gave it a chance anyways. Still could not keep going.
For those of you who liked this season as much as I did, Please rate each individual episode to bring the rating…
What's the difference between rating the series as a whole vs. each episode? Also, what do you mean by "verify your account"? Don't we need to be logged in to rate the content?
I did not reach the end yet. However, based on my personal taste, it deserves at least 9.5 (I rated s1 as 10).…
Nirvana in Fire is excellent but is also a case where the s2 is different than s1 and also misses when compared to similar stories and genres. Neverthless, both NIF and JOL are two examples of excellent Chinese productions and I would have a hard time choosing between both.
I did not reach the end yet. However, based on my personal taste, it deserves at least 9.5 (I rated s1 as 10). Not as much action as in s1 since s2 is more on the strategy part. The strategy isn't as good as Nirvana in Fire, hence a 9.5 instead of 10 (so far).

Edit: found it under the title My Military Valentine. Quite different.
