Right!? You’re not having body cramps or bleeding. As if having a period is the same thing as having a boner *eye rolls to the next moon.

I thought the first episode was better. It’s pretty much the same with the first episode but more monologues & melodramatic eye staring lol. Although I’m interested in how Sol & JW’s relationship unfold.

2 episodes in & my consensus so far about PJE is he’s the blandest bread. He is simply boring lol. It is either Song Kang’s performance or the way PJE is written (maybe both lol) but SK’s line delivery tends to be stilted & it’s no exception here. There’s no infliction in his voice. All his lines reads the same lol. I’m supposed to believe PJE is some swooning casanova but talks like he’s reading a phone book. The more he talks the less I listen lol.

Also, PJE getting butt-hurt when NB avoid his advances or gaze but he calls girls delusional for being obsessive with him lol. The irony. I thought he likes it casual & fun. NB should play with him, let him feel it in his guts lol. What a turd.

Yes, Wang Kai voice is very sultry! No one sounds like him. I could listen to him like a broken record lol. I’m glad that does his own voice work.

I remember reading from somewhere that it was indeed there voices. That’s why the performance in those shows were so strong.

Wang Kai has the best voice *swoons lol. Distinctive & recognizable. I think he’s another example of actors who voice dubbed most of the work he’s in. His voice is irreplaceable lol.

Great article! I watched a YouTube video about this subject. It was insightful.

Honestly I’m not a fan of dubbing but I don’t shy away from watching c-dramas because of that. It’s more so the editing, sound design, and the voice overlay when it doesn’t quite match up with the actors acting/lip moments when it is obvious. It is jarring & takes me out of the drama. But when dramas do have actors dubbed their own voices, it’s really amazing! It’s so much more smooth & I can really feel the emotions from the actors. Chinese actors actually have good voices so it is somewhat bittersweet when it isn’t used for the dramas they are in. Although I am particular when it comes to c-dramas.

I believe Luo Jin dubbed his own voice for Royal Nirvana. I think Chen Kun did so for Rise of the Phoenix along with NiNi too.

But there are dubbed voices from voice actors that I find atrocious because the voice acting doesn’t quite stick lol.

I’m referring to @Suzy comment about the magic system on the show.

I mean if there is no restriction, then anything can happen. Like @Suzy said. The contract is senseless lol.

The way magic works/ fantasy elements on
this show is rather flimsy. As in there isn’t a based format on how things work from the get go but more so things happen as it goes.

Not every show is going to be for everyone but even with its current rating, it shouldn’t discourage anyone from watching it. I watched super high rated shows just to be disappointed lol.

I would prefer a two-episode release instead of one on the weekend for this show. Because of its one episode release & short run of 10 episodes, releasing 2 ep each week might have helped it attract momentum from the audience.

He’s good looking guy. Doesn’t have to try hard to be attractive.

Little Forest! Such a comfort movie. The food is yum :0.

The MDL rating shouldn’t be a definitive factor to watch a show. There are many ‘high’ rated dramas that I ‘dropped’ because it did not appeal to me or I thought was garbage lol.

There is only 1 episode out for this drama. This show is not going to appeal to everyone. If you’re a fan of Song Kang or Han So Hee & liked the first episode then you should continue it.

Excited to see Kim Dami back on the small screen!

It’s head scratching lol.

Setting restrictions or a formal set of established laws should be the number 1 setup when creating a magic system in a fantasy genre.

If there’s unlimited power, what’s the point of having a contract to begin with if a god can all willy-nilly & bend to do whatever they please? Lol.

I noticed that J-dramas tends to be rated on a slightly lower end around 7’s-8. Although their acting & production may not be on par with Kdramas, they have a range of actually pretty good stories that don’t drag lol.

Kdramas tends to be rated on a higher scale because of production value & cast of actors even if it looks amazingly aesthetically pleasing with a terrible script lol.

For a show like Nevertheless, with its pilot episode out, it’s befitting for a 7.8. I don’t find the show ground breaking in terms of its story, dialogue, direction, & acting nor does it have that instant ‘wow’ factor but is it terrible? The show is alright for now. I am curious with what they do with the characters.

I adore Seol In Ah but I’m glad she isn’t the lead here. I’m not a fan of AHS. I do hope to see her in major projects as a lead! She’s so fantastic in Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life & Sunny Again Tomorrow. She hits all the right emotional beats with her charms.

Kdrama tends to be put on a pedestal here on MDL with high ratings. I’ve seen not so good kdramas-terrible ones that have super high ratings like 8.5-9’s.

A 7.8 is pretty fair for a pilot episode.

I think it’s because it’s all seen from NB perspective so it appears that way with the music & melodramatic eye staring but I think the direction, the toxic stuff is pretty apparent. There’s only 1 episode out so I can’t say much yet.

No thanks.

It seems pretty intentional with the close up shots when the camera pans to his hands & her body perks up, specifically when PJE & NB first meet.

I hopes so too or else I’m giving this drama lame stars lol.
