read the comments here - most folks are saying that S2 is disappointing .. and that it doesn't begin from the cliff hanger ending - whatever that means.

I am not wanting to watch this .. if there is anything more frustrating is the change of cast AND no continuity of story

Did you watch
Me too Flower
Psychopath Diary

Yoon Shi Yoon shines

Chen Fei Yu as Ning Que is inimitable - they are fused into each other.
No way can anyone wrap S2 of Ever Night.
Dylan Wang has his own charm - but he wasn't that strong an actor in the early days.

You are right about Leo Wu.
He had phenomenal talent.

I started this and realized from the comments that the story ends on a Cliffhanger!!!
And it stays unresolved 🫣 in S2

AND the ML changes!!!

I was like oh no!
Not again!

How can I start a show that ends on a climax 🤦🏽‍♀️

🤞🏽
I'll do a rewatch when it releases on Viki or Netflix

💯💯
Such a good analysis.
Yes.
Stiff and fragile and difficult to put back together if it breaks.

That Xie dialogue near the molten iron furnace was such 🔥

👍🏽

😂😂
Ouch!!

But we need people like him - sharp and observant, inflexible, blunt, short sighted and narrow focused.

I did not think ZZ character casting was successful.
That's why he didnt appeal to us. It needed a better actor to convince us of why Ning-er was so drawn to him.. We didn't feel him or her or them.

The way we felt Yan Lin and her relationship.

We saw Yan Lin's longing and felt how difficult it was for her to navigate that relationship with him. It was well directed.

ZZ needed to make us feel him and his pangs.. And feel her pain when she figured out his "filial" grief and attachment far outweighed and displaced anything that he might have begun to feel for her.

Am thinking which actor / role that I have seen as SML which might have been a better fit.

Excuse me - but strongly beg to differ.

It wasn't revealed until quite a bit into the show - I don't recall the episode no.

It was a TOTAL SURPRISE for me and DID act as a plot moving engine.

If I hadn't watched the show this isn't something I'd like to be told.

It's NOT EVEN in the MDL brief FOR A REASON!!!

TLI?

Sorry.. I keep testing and putting on hold or dropping..
I end up Parallel processing dramas 😜once I finish a REALKY GOOD ONE.

So can't place this abbrev

💯💯💯
You named ALL my faves😝

😁
I know about Raquet Boys.
Not watched it.

I usually skip shows that don't have a strong romance as a weave of the plot..
So I liked Love All Play because it focused on.. Love of Badminton and the arc that reach character crossed.. And superb capture of the "sport".

I loved Twenty One - Twenty Five also.. Because of the character's love of Fencing and how it was shot

I like the adrenaline shot the viewer gets when watching a well done game scene

I REALLY like the FL they chose for FlexxCop

Saw her in a brief role - appears towards the end of the show - and liked her aura and visuals.
One of my FAVE shows (rewatched in full) "Love All Play" ~ fabulous Badminton GamePlay shoot and of course LOVELY chemistry between the leads.

Oh Thank You for this comment @kpun
You are kind and generous and know this fact already.

ALL MDL discussion threads SPOILER TAG when they discuss plot points .. twists .. or any story related events that take place.

It's just a common thoughtful courtesy. No matter WHEN the show ended.

Even if it is an OLD forgotten show from 2 decades ago ..

And just in case someone forgets (it happens) and we point it out .. they promptly spoiler tag it (of course if they visit MDL post-comment, most commenters do frequently check their notifications)

LOL .. C-Drama chooses a certain kind of "visual" for the FL when they cast such characters .. I think .. SO the minute I see a face that fits that template I get wary LOL

The Only person who broke the expectation of "face template" of this sort - for me of course - was Zhao LuSi ;-p

Love her .. She is naughty and has a strong spine and sense of 'cogs going off behind her eyes" nothing bland ..

eeks .. thanks for the review .. I steer clear of the "dumb damsel, swooning into arms trope FLs"

Thank you.

Is this Thread full of SPOILERS???

Gosh Please my friends put a SPOILER TAG if you are commenting on the end that is a straight giveaway ..

:-C

ROFL .. seriously .. such a looker .. downer in the acting department ;-D

Park Min Young is a GREAT actress :

My favourite dramas of hers is
~ When the Weather is Fine (such a strong independent role .. also looks her best and most natural face)

The other shows she excelled at IMO :
~ Her Private Life (independent and spunky)
~ Sungkyunkwan Scandal (also super strong FL)
~ Healer (ambitious, warm, funny)
~ City Hunter (independent, self sufficient)

This drama sounds iffy for me .. SIGH
The "treat me like a doormat and then I'll figure it out" story lines and characters ..
Downer for me !!

Also .. I cant recognise her .. she's undergone a change as severe as Renee Zwelleger / Nicole Kidman / Meg Ryan :-(

Gosh!! Off with the make-up and filters!!!

"Ken" off the shelf looks more natural than this!!!!

What is this urge to look like 'robots' / AI driven doll faces ..
I think even future 'service robots' will look more human ..

Think "Blade Runner" and imagine how many people would drop the movie if the FL had a face done up like this ..

Ahn Bo Hyun -- put you foot down .. You are goddamned handsome as is
