I had the opposite, I quit twice on the first episodes. To tell you the truth I don't remember this drama and I don't feel like going back to it at all but I just don't like cute idiotic romances about nothing. But if you accuse someone of plastic surgery, let it be an accusation supported by evidence. You may not like the person playing in some drama, you may not like the type of beauty of that person, but let's respect each other and the actors, please.

It will. His official fan club always does translations, they just give very small subtitles. There are several channels that always give translations, so I'm sure something will be posted soon.

The analogy is rather purely coincidental. Since this year we are dealing with Dragon TV not Hunan, we can expect WDB as soon as possible. This TV has been sympathetic to Xiao Zhan from the beginning and finally got one of his projects :). While with TOOL I might have suspected a deliberate delay by Hunan, with TLP I'm sure it's all about production quality. Tencent has been much criticized due to the failed S+ in the past year, and I believe with TLP they really want to give us good quality. I think they are polishing the CGI all the time. Meanwhile, WDB was a privileged list production from the beginning, so it had to get a license very quickly. Anyway, it doesn't require CGI. At this point, I expect WDB any day now, February at the latest. About a month after the last episode on TV, we can get the TLP. That's how I expect it to be.

I hope so, too.

That's what I thought under the influence of episode 11 :)

It's been quiet lately. According to earlier reports, they should start right after Chinese New Year, that is, sometime in February (January is usually a period full of various galas and concerts), but as far as this production is concerned, I don't trust them with anything anymore. Every few months it's "we're about to start" and so it's been the third year. Meanwhile, the actors aren't getting any younger, and we're only looking at when the next veteran will retire.

I think that for Kim Rae Won this drama could be the ticket to the second wave of his career, and much better than the first. I really liked him in this role. He's very ordinary and realistic, natural and gripping as that mutt foster you took in. And he has a nice deep voice. I like it when an actor gains with age.

Happy Holidays :) !

You're welcome :)
For me, it was this transfer between worlds that interested me in the anime, but it was only in the first episode. In the anime in the new world, Tang San is 6 years old, then 12. I prefer slightly older characters, like in the drama. I dropped the anime around the ninth episode. But that's just my opinion. Many people like it very much :)

Warning, big spoiler about Tang San's origin in the anime.



He is coming from another world where there is a different magic. He was a young genius. In the anime he was accused of stealing the great secret of magic and to prove the nobility of his character he jumped into the abyss. He was reborn on the continent of Douluo having the memory of his past, but here magic works differently and he was unable to use it. In time, however, he combined both skills. In the series, magic from the other world was replaced by this book, from which he learned since childhood. In my opinion, it was done neatly.
Dramas are subjected to more censorship than books, so more is allowed in books and anime.

I think that in most fan clubs are active very young people led by slightly older professional fans. Very young people have a lot of enthusiasm, but a little less life experience, so it's easy to believe that an actor's class is measured by the number of programs he appears in. They are used to idols rather than professional actors. Therefore, don't worry about what they say. Xiao Zhan has a lot of loyal fans of all ages who know that he doesn't need to appear in these types of programs to be at the top of popularity. Xiao Zhan chooses projects prudently. With his popularity, he can't show up on many programs because he would eclipse the other contestants, yet they are the ones who need publicity, promotion, and popularity battles. So no worries. Don't get upset about what fans of other actors say. They just believe that this is the only way to success. We know that you can choose another, as Xiao Zhan did.

Hekko!

I think I will express a popular opinion by saying that Xiao Zhan is definitely more than just a pretty face :)

Well, yes and no... 50 is probably a slight exaggeration :) I've known Xiao Zhan since 2018, I've been following him a little more closely since 2019 but for me personally this change is also too fast. I also have trouble getting used to his new face. But that's also the fault of his earlier image. Unfortunately, when someone crosses 30 it's like crossing a certain line. When one feels grown up, feels that it is no longer appropriate to be a teenager, well, this is the first magic line of many :)
Anyway, for me it doesn't matter how old a guy looks or how old he actually is, if he is of age and has that something about him, I like him, pretty face or less pretty. For me, XZ is always 6.5/10.

People mature with age, they change. Faces that remain the same, ahem, had the help of a surgeon. A single photo does not reflect the condition of a person.
I agree that XZ looks different now than he did 3 years ago. Whether better or worse is a matter of individual taste.
However, XZ himself has a peculiar feature - plasticity. When the role requires it, his face can be the innocent face of a teenager or a serious middle-aged man. In the West, we generally dislike men who are too thin and look too young. First of all, they look unhealthy, secondly, a woman can't lust after a child, and when my colleague saw an old photo (2018) of XZ, she said that liking him was bordering on pedophilia. Therefore, when working with Western companies, Xiao Zhan's image will be more mature because it is measured by slightly different beauty criteria. The West simply doesn't like bishonen.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. Very young women even in the West will prefer cute boys, but don't forget that the average age of Xiao Zhan's fans is over 30 (two years ago it was 32, I haven't seen statistics now). Xiao Zhan himself has also suffered a lot from the "little fresh meat" label stuck to him, so he is deliberately changing his image to that of a mature actor. He, at this point, is not measuring to please teenage fans and becoming a serious, environmentally recognized actor. Besides, he already reiterated in 2018 that he doesn't want to be seen only as a pretty face. Therefore, he is moving away from the image of youthful beauty. He knows that he won't please everyone, but here it's about his survival in the market and a pretty face won't give him a permanently stable position.

I like just such police series, where the characters are flesh and blood. Sometimes they are funny, sometimes a little pathetic, but they know what their job is and how to do it well.

The best drummer in the world!

One of the best musicians of his generation. An excellent lyricist. Brilliant vocals. Stage charisma on the level of a nuclear explosion.

This guy is one of my most favorite people in the world. What he does on stage with his guitar is insane! One Ok Rock concerts are a nuclear explosion of excellent music and energy. To start a band like this and keep it going for so many years takes really great talent, intellect and personality. Toru rules!

I am watching this drama for the umpteenth time and having a great time. I especially like how 2ML is written and his transformation. Someone really made an effort to make this character multi-dimensional and interesting.
I just find it funny and embarrassing that in order to sell high-heeled shoes, these poor actresses have to pretend to be comfortable. No self-respecting doctor would go to work in such shoes! 12 hours in high-heeled shoes, where you have to run from one patient to another or stand at the operating table for hours? The sponsor really had a great sense of humor ;)

There are usually no costumed, entertaining dramas in October, and certainly no dramas where there is an expected fever online. October is a time of major national holidays in China. A few years ago there was even a total ban on such dramas for several months to maintain patriotic solemnity.

Certainly Tencent does not synchronize TLP with Anle. The end of the year is approaching and every company does annual profit and loss statements. If they need something good for statistics, Tencent will let TLP go this year. If they don't have a problem, they won't let it go until after the New Year. The situation with Anle may be exactly the same. But I sincerely doubt that the dramas are dependent on each other, because it doesn't make sense. Releasing both dramas at the same time may cause more bad than good. Anyone who has seen at least one fan war knows what I'm talking about.
