I've a really hard time emphatizing with ML... He falls in love with FL when she has other faces but is incapable…
@505tangqi said it right.
tang qi has a negative "filter" on cheng cheng right now due to misunderstandings back in school (he thought she was a bully). it's like how once you view someone negatively, you view everything they do negatively, even when it's probably illogical.
he hasn't realized it yet but he's not really in love with her transformations; he's in love with her core / true self.
no official confirmation yet. i hope it comes true but have a feeling jianci won't take it since ML sounds similar to xiang liu and jianci tends to play different roles TT
finished ep 1 and like it so far. reminded me of girl from nowhere.
i felt pity for what ah jin went through. i thought about all the poor kids out there who were born into abusive and/or neglectful households, how such traumatic incidents in their childhood would forever shape their future TT
I don't watch kdramas anymore. I'm just drifting until the cdrama I'm waiting for airs in Dec. I happened to chance…
haha i'm in the same boat. i've rarely watched kdramas since 2020, only a few that i thought would be interesting (this is one of them ;D) if a fellow cdrama lover enjoyed this then i believe i might too!
based on the description and clips i've seen, seems that romance is not the main focus — which is good. i feel like these type of stories don't need a sweet love story.
eta: thanks everybody for the input! i will give this a go when i come home from work 😊
can international fans order too? i can never seem to access qq music app at all TT
oh yes those stupid tarrifs.. i don't wanna give such a high price away to those people 💀 it's okay, i'll support jianci in other ways the best i can as an international fan 🥲
does anyone know what it’s the honey trilogy? Are all of these dramas by one writer?
copy pasting my comment:
Honey Trilogy consists of - Ashes of Love (2018) - Skate Into Love (2020) - The Starry Love (2023)
They're not supposed to be connected in terms of storyline or genre. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but the only way they're connected is by their producer Liu Ning and their similar production teams (ex: screenwriters, directors, and OST singers like Sa Dingding, Mao Buyi, and Liu Yuning). Basically, they saw how successful Ashes of Love got and decided to make more dramas together, calling them the Honey Trilogy.
I heard rumors that the team originally wanted Starry Love's leads to be the leads from both Skate into Love (Janice Wu and Steven Zhang) and Ashes of Love (Yang Zi and Deng Lun). But due to scheduling conflicts and later Deng Lun's tax evasion controversy, they ended up casting other people (Landy Li, Chen Xingxu, He Xuanlin, and Chen Muchi).
forgettable. more gorey and disturbing than terrifying but that's probably just a personal opinion.
the biggest criticism: a lot of the actors were HORRIBLE at portraying fear through their facial expressions, instead relying on heavy breathing and agape mouths. yawnnn
ep 5 "red shoes" was really the only memorable out of all. that final scene whewww!
Saw this melon by many pages on X today. I was happy at first to see this😭 that atleast there is some melon…
omg this is the pairing i was wishing for a while back (since i loved JCT's xiang liu and LYX's shangguan qian). and jianci is just too good at portraying angst and heartbreak that i wouldn't mind him starring in another BE drama — though i will definitely be sad for his character again haha
like most melons, this is highly unlikely to happen though
