Hello :) I'm on ep 8 but so far the comedy isn't working for me and I'm not hooked. It may just not be my style.…
I'm on the same boat with you. I finished till ep 8 a few days ago but now on the verge of dropping it. It wasn't as fun as I was hoping it to be. It starts getting pretty serious so early on. Probably just not my style as well so I'm wondering the same...
Just wanted to share about my 1 pick, Hengyu. On his live a few days ago, he shared that while preparing Main Dish, he had back pain and went to the hospital and had to get 6 shots with Geonwoo who was also hurt. He also mentioned it's a pity that they didn't show how he and Kangmin made up and felt sorry that (he feels) because of him Kangmin's ranking went down. I feel really bad for both of them and especially Hengyu since he was mentally and physically in bad condition. He still performed Main Dish with a smile. He didn't say this but it's obvious one of the big reasons he joined Main Dish was Zihao, same with Kaiwen. He also hasn't signed with any agency yet cause he still has ptsd from how his last agency neglected him. He also fought for his upcoming fanmeeting ticket prices to be lowered. Yesterday, he helped save a taxi driver who was assulted by a drunk man, which he went viral for. He commented on Kangmin's live after that like "oppa, you are handsome". This boy be literally doing everything!
I'm so sad to see the 2 couple fans fighting. I prefer the 2nd couple too as my fav is Gao Tu but I heard they already made 2nd couple parts longer than the original novel. I just hope both couples stories wrap up well in remaining episodes. Both set of couples have confirmed to do another series each. They are also forming a boy group with all 4 of them. They have been doing live after every episode (subbed on Youtube), which is the reason why I'm not really complaining that I'm finding the story quite slow with 1 episode/ week release. (fingers cross) Current situation looks like they should be able to air the rest of the show smoothly too. All in all, the boys obviously like each other enough to be doing all this and I appreciate all of them for that. Tbh, I am already thankful enough for this drama itself as it's been hard for C-bl dramas to be aired. On top of that, this drama includes mpreg.
Guys, don't think too much, just keep voting for your favorites. Believe me, you won't regret voting for them. You'll regret not voting. Putting debut aside, you'd want them to go to the finals. Even for the finals, this is probably their best chance in the idol industry by looking at participants in the past Produce and Planet shows.
Happy 21st birthday, baby Xuan Cheng, our Xiao Shuai! 🥳 I didn't realise how much I missed the drama until I saw BTS of Xuanxuan's (2nd couple) first photoshoot a few days ago and ended up in tears. Both are attending an event in Macau on Sep 13!
My tears just start falling starting from the first trainee went from all-star to elimination on ep 4 final star ranking. All the trainees were sad for him; C-trainees bond is strong. I can't believe more than half of them are gone now. Such unnecessary heartbreaking situation. Why didn't they just start with 80 trainess from the beginning? I know this was probably cause by their shift in decision to only make 1 group at the end but they couldn't even commit until the usual 1st ranking announcement. At first, I was kind of glad that they're making only one group cause it'll be easier to follow the debut group, but now I just wish a group of C-trainees can debut on top of debut group. Let's face it, worst case scenario, only 1 C-trainee will debut, max 3 if really lucky.
Just finished rewatching again cause Ex-morning started airing. I can't believe it has been 10 years and I still enjoyed it! KristSingto did really well for their first roles and so did the rest of the cast. Now back to looking forward to Ex-morning new episodes every week~
The show was ok. + The cast was a good variety, pretty considerate and kept me engaged enough. + There's at least 1 CP that is still dating now. - The 5th girl was sick and couldn't join the show, so 1 boy was always left out for dates. - The boys especially didn't feel decisive about who they like until later in the show, so it felt a bit like they were just liking back who likes them. But it also shows they are willing to give it a go.
In the order of announcement- Congrats #6 Xiong! #5 Omar #4 Shen #7 Yao Zihao (Omg, I'm so happy he made it! Don't cry...) #3 Hu Yeao #1 Dorn!!! #2 Thi-o Group name: NexT1DE (NT1)
Started the show for Taotao. I'm so happy to see him again, that he got recognised by BamBam and is currently ranked 1 (getting far better rank from voting than in Chuang 2021 ;-; I teared up when he said he watched Chuang 2021 stages like 100 times and that he almost cried before his grand audition stage. He applied for Boys Planet S1 but wasn't selected. He must have applied to other shows too.) I was surprised that there's only 1 Korean trainee and it's Kohi (Jonghyun from His Man S1)! So far, I like how the trainees are looking out for each other and the mentors' constructive criticisms, but I am also on the fence about visual center. Anyways, I can't wait for next week's stages! PS - I still highly recommend both Chuang 2021 (and Boys Planet S1) if anyone wants to watch while waiting for new episodes.
The show is so upsetting. I was hoping it wasn't this bad since I love YWY3. But it feels like they just ignored the previous seasons and made it into a new K-idol survival show. 1. Theme song - continual dancing was a terrible way of assessing and became negative virality. I like watching these shows and if it wasn't for the trianees I knew, I wouldn't have wanted to go near the show. 2. 1st & 2nd rank trainees - Why are they trying to edit beef between the two trainees who'll most likely end up debuting together? Do they want a fandom where everyone hate each other? I have seen some behind the scenes and they actually get along well. I'm not asking for BP HaoBin but we could at least get friendlier competition like YWY3 Tony and Yizhou. 3. 1st mission - Barely learned about trainees I didn't know. For example, Guerrilla team did well but they only showed Daeul story. Whereas in YWY3, I could easily name like 50 trainees. 4. Screentime for eliminated trainees - Good intension? but it's just too late. It would be better to give it to trainees still on the show and hasn't gotten much screentime yet, especially if they are talented. 5. Evil editing for Xing Xing - Anyone that watched YWY3 knows he's not the type of person who'll give his team a hard time cause he doesn't get Polaris. He usually leads and hard carries the team.
Personal opinions 1. As Gwan Woo's bias, editing feels like they don't want him to debut as Polaris. More than honoring his #1, always show how Ziheng's Polaris has dropped. (Don't get me wrong. I like SZH too and have no problem with him being final Polaris. I was planning to vote DXX for finals cause I need him to debut more.) Other than Gwan Woo's talent and confidence, you can't tell much about his personality from the episodes (same with DXX). 3form are really hardworking, team players, caring, respectful and friendly. For example, DXX and SYH helped opposing Sheesh team. 2. Language exchange - Feels like it is a lost opportunity that the show should have enouraged, especially if debut group is likely to be doing promotions in both countries. The trainees don't seem to be picking up other languages as much as BP. I'm wondering if they at least have someone helping foreign trainees with Korean pronounciation and eunciation cause most of them tend to have accent and sometimes it is hard to make out the lyrics, which brings me to my next point. 3. Training - I'm concerned about how much professional training they get as it isn't shown much, particularly vocal training. I'm hoping they are getting the right amount of support as they are still "trainees", and more capable ones shouldn't have to be free tuition for others as participating in the show is exhausting enough.
Now I don't even know what is going on anymore with C-fandoms halting their votes for some of the top C-trainees. The show is just disappointing. They could have made it heartwarming with so many talented trainees but we get this instead. Unfortunately, some of the trainees are older and have been on similar shows that didn't work out well even if they debuted. Anyways, I still hope things will miraculously get better and work out for everyone.
Sheesh team was such a pleasant surprise! Since my boys in Boom Boom Bass didn't get praised, Gwan Woo and Xing Xing did so well for high notes and center respectively. I'm sure 3Form boys helped the teammates. The whole performance was great, even down to Korean pronounciation with all of them being foreigners.
Edit 1: Just saw KGMA stage with Gwan Woo center (according to last rank reveal a week ago). I couldn't spot Xing Xing. His leg must not have recovered enough yet? Hope he recovers soon... he must feel quite devastated for missing the stage. Project 7 also had the theme song stage and reactions from ZB1.
Edit 2: Just saw BTS of BBB. They worked so well as a team, helping each other (ie. CongB helping Xing Xing with Korean rap). Jia Yang thanked Xing Xing and Ying Hao for even helping Sheesh team. Jia Liang got lowest rank and ended up crying, so Ying Hao talked about how Jia Liang helped with dance cause he was most familiar with BBB, Guan You was also chiming in and comforting right beside him, and Xing Xing told him he got 0 votes for 1st performance in YWY3 (to not worry too much about onsite votes). 3Form boys are so warm. I will seriously cry a river if they debut together again...
I am looking for the part where someone told umi that umi had her mom's features or smth along the lines, alluding part of her mom will always be there with her. I don't even know if it is this drama or another drama that I watched. I really liked what was said and want to save the quote. Please help if you know. TIA
Dinghao is a ray of sunshine. I love his smile. I hope he finds someone that is as happy to see him every time and loves him back just as much. And his bromance with Oscar; they have each other's back. Does anyone happen to know his jewelry brand name / shop? His insta handle too if he has (not weibo / douyin).
Anyone here watches any asian dating shows? Is there any good dating show airing rn or is upcoming?
If you don't mind Chinese ones, there are currently 2 that are airing - Heart Signal Season 7 and Let's Fall in Love Season 6 (I only watch after it finishes airing so best if you check their pages). Heart Signal 2, 5 and 6 have good ratings if you haven't watched yet, as well as Twinkle Love 1-3. For Korean ones this year, My Sibling's Romance and Possessed Love (surprisingly) were a good watch.
If anyone is still addicted to the show like me, here is their latest commentary with all cast members (more behind the scene stories, it's quite funny): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ui6Vvin0nQ Dai and Shun has been uploading shorts and vlogs once a week on their Youtube too and Dazed Korea also recently released their Q&A video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lROkPM0u-60
