I agree! The Main Couple story is unique and DIFFERENT. It's refreshing to see an underused concept be brought…
I agree about the Sweaty Wet Blanket pairing. Personally I have only ever seen the Main-pairing's dynamic in very on the fringe and dark corners of fanfics and Parodies. And even then, it's rarely done right. BUT to see it come to life on screen and have it executed so well with at least 1 Great actor (QDJ's ShaoYou gets a bit Vertical drama quality dramatic at times) playing it to perfection is nothing short of fascinating.
Let's not lose hope. Under Saram. he might get signed for better roles. So far, the agency has started with many…
Yes, I hope so too! I never can get enough of him, he is my perfect trifecta. He has to get some good stuff that will show the world his true potential as a leading man. I had such high hopes for this project, especially, being a GD fan, I saw how he was promoting this for a while. BUT ... UGH!
sweaty wet blanket of a second couple 😭 no bc real shen wen lang having some trauma doesn't excuse how bad…
I mean, I know I am a sucker for the TOXIC one's payback... And if it's done right it's so satisfying. I don't hate it you know. But to call that typical stuff a better pairing than the main one??? Like BABES, come on, raise your standard!
how where you able to say exactly what I was just about to type. it’s so sad how everything just turned out.
Cause, we , all his fans are thinking this exact thing right now! I mean, looks, presence, voice and acting.... This man has it all! Yet everyone around him seems to always drop the ball?
I literally finished this and was like, "When will LSH get his big acting script?" He been in the industry…
I would love to see him as main lead in a typical RomCom! OR something corporate-y where we get to see him in lots and lots and lots of well-tailored and beautiful suits... THAT alone would get eyeballs on the drama. I would even take him in a historical setting where he is not just a sidenote like he was in Queen Woo. I mean... Do we have to come together and make a collective to write the SCRIPT for him to star on? I am sure we could do better than the writers of this show did! Also him as a DEMON KING Male Lead! That is the stuff my fangirl dreams are made of!
sweaty wet blanket of a second couple 😭 no bc real shen wen lang having some trauma doesn't excuse how bad…
I know right! It's such a typical BL trope of both being in love with each other but one being jealous and mean and the other having a Martyr for LOVE syndrome.. where have I seen that before>? ONLY IN EVERY OTHER BL IN THE WORLD.
Also I feel sad for those of you who cannot conceive the unique genius and twist on trope that is the MAIN COUPLE of this Drama. Like come on! An absolute Manipulative OTT-P ML, acting like a wilting flower for half the story and being the Seme all along and the Alpha, Macho, RICH CEO with a towering ehm ehm.. Manhood and EGO being the actual UKE.... COME ON! I mean this as a joke of course. You are allowed to love your sweaty wet blanket of a second couple as much as you like.
MAN! I can't believe this keeps happening to LSH. He has some bad luck haunting him. He seemingly always goes for "The interesting" choice and I am sure this seemed very intriguing on paper. We are begging for him to lead a Drama for ages and every time he gets close to that place... Writers LOSE their shit on the plot! The first 5 episode I was ON-BOARD! Like, let's do this... And then Episode 6 happened. It definitely feels like at least 3 episodes in the middle got lost. BEcause the leaps that happened without any explanation whatsoever... UGH! SooHyuk! Please give alms or something, get rid of this bad juju, you have the potential to be one of the big 3 Male Leads of Kdramas. Why does this keep happening?
How many times has this happened now? Stop feeding the monster. It's a basic human right to assume innocence until proven guilty, celebrity or non-celebrity. Do you know how often a popular upcoming actor gets bombarded with these allegations? Especially in TOXIC Asian entertainment industry? Too often. Also, if we stopped supporting performers for ALLEGED personal bad behaviour they showed when they were 20... trust me you won't be able to watch 99% of performers anymore. You are watching them for their work, not because they are a a moral compass. So they behaved badly. Ok. But are 100s of other people who put their blood, sweat and tears into the work they are starring in also responsible for 1 person's stupidity? If you are going by 'Alleged deviation from ETHICS" then you should not be watching ANY Chinese content whatsoever, or content from any entertainment industry that has no proper protections in place for it's artists, because its very exploitative, which is also against ETHICS. You cannot pick and choose.
I have got to admit, that Casting for Wang Shuo.... ON POINT! Like he's g charisma to compete with them all and I did not think that would be the case. Wang Shuo is supposed to be the cold-blooded Snake, who loves pain. And you can see that in his eyes! I am impressed!
Also the New Year scenes were so cute. That fireworks kiss was awesome and the whole "WSW Cheating" was so cute LOL... Gang Zi really is CC's internal voice. LOL. Great bunch of episode. No fatigue in story-telling is showing whatsoever! Great Job all around!
