hiiyaa

Thank you! I had the exact same thought further down in the thread:

And seems the reactions of the audience was more to her color shifting robes more than the dance itself? They even mention there being better dancers in the court before she starts so it’s almost certainly her magic dress that gets them going. I hope it was more impressive in person cause I for one did not have fun. When I hear dancing I expect *DANCING* dammit!

Sorry for butting in but I went to check and I was stuck at exactly ep 26 lmao. It was so fun at the beginning too, but so boring now? Idk how almost every other cdrama I check out manage to have a fun start and then fizzles out.In romances I usually lose interest when the otp gets together but it wasn’t even the problem in You Are My Secret bc they were a couple from the beginning almost. Someone help me!

The queen herself

OMG YESS 😍
Madz has spoiled me for dance scenes forever 😭😭. They mention dancing and give me a magical burning dress… THE DISAPPOINTMENT

I knoow, I just read her profile and was so sad at the obfuscation of dancing talent that obviously took place in that room in order to make place for !!!color shifting robes on fire!!! which.. meh..

Lmao what was that dance scene in ep 5? Beside the color changing fire thing which might’ve been cool but cringed at all the reactions like.. She literally just stood there, waved her arms and twirled a little and they all look in awe as if she’s Madhuri Dixit 😭

Eta: rewatched it and I guess they were impressed by the pyortechnics but the dancing was still embarrassing

Loved this! FL is badass, ML is an adorable puppy for her, the villains keep plotting (and failing) and a good time is had by all.

Btw, apparently clapping is somehow offensive now so everyone looks pathetic slapping their hands together without making any sound. The lack of sound design and missing BGM in several scenes is 70% of the reason why this drama appears so cheap imo.

Omg Lee Sangyi’s smugness at ”I made 29 calls” had me cackling

Have watched two of this couple’s subbed dramas now (by the same director no less) and find their dynamic so intriguing. They were like “we’re done with wallflower heroines with squeaky voices! let’s make a drama were the FL is the dominant one!” And then ”oh we might’ve gone overboard, let’s switch the roles in the second drama… oops! we did it again!”

I guess it’s hard to not tie yourself up and let her climb on top of you when your FL is played by QXX

That plot sounds so fun tbh. Wish it was shot on a decent budget :/

This is an ad but QXX is breathtaking so idec

Such a fun ride! Especially considering how low budget it is. The plot wasn’t very deep but exciting enough. The FL is so very beautiful and expressive (ML very wooden though lol).

Also, this drama has one of the most sensual scenes ever, without actually being explicit. Good job drama!

Edward Zhang is one charismatic actor. Idk who he has angered that he never gets proper ML roles. Pity :(

I just skimmed through parts of it and like the banter and their fun chemistry. Wish they could do this whole drama with same leads but better production.

No no I agree with your point abt endless coincidences which basically built the story but it’s important to remember the romanticized stalker angle too

Yeah seems ridiculous but re: your first point, he basically stalked her for six (?) years so it wasn’t that coincidental lol

Bokgyu taking offense at Haeyeong not offering enough money for him to gtfo out of Jayeon’s life made me chuckle. Brilliant delivery!

Also, the whole freezer/fridge thing was so dumb bc food won’t get destroyed overnight like that, especially since they were ~*~busy~*~ and clearly didn’t even open them. It wouldn’t be irritating if they didn’t make a whole plot point around it.

Mwahahaha the taking out the battery was so dramatic too while the viewers sat there like “just decline or block..?”

He’s very promising as an actor so looking fwd to whatever he does; good kisses included or not. Baby is so young :3

The way they butcher some of these dramas man. Have you seen Unchained Love? They managed to decimate entire plot points in their enthusiastic fervor to cut unsightly kisses between a concubine and a eunuch cucking the emperor.
PS. Not that it means anything but wasn’t WXY 18-19 yo when filming this?
