after watching ep 9, i feel like this drama is fine without romance. idc about love interest or ML. i just want mai chenghuan to be happy in her personal and work life. my girl already suffered enough.
i wish maomao didn't have a love interest π i liked her older sister vibe toward huan and zao, but now they're trying to build a romantic relationship between her and zao.... it feels so wierd because she was like another family member to them. ugh why do they always have to make every relationship romantic. what's wrong with platonic??
i've been fed so well by cdramas that i forgot kdramas only release 2 eps per WEEK. im gonna cry i really wanted to watch this but ill force myself to wait until there's at least 8 or 10 eps
i liked this movie overall when i watched it, so i'm surprised to see a relatively low rating. yes the first 20 mins or so were boring and the end could've been better. but it's a horror mockumentary that did its job pretty well.
the parts that shocked me the most were when nim saw the beheaded bayan god statue and when she admitted that she isn't even sure if bayan actually exists (or possessed her?)
This drama has 37 ep. Only 8 ep in. What chemistry do you expect?π Itβs still early stage. Story still needs…
you can't expect that all of his dramas will be the same though. maybe you should wait until all the episodes are released, so you can skip to when their romantic relationship develops and see if you like it then.
i think part of the reason why i continue to watch this show is because i see myself in huan. she feels pressure to be successful because of her mom and the stigmas surrounding her lower social class. she has a helicopter parent whose actions are rooted in love and concern for her well-being yet at the same time completely dismisses her opinion. you don't even know if you're supposed to love them because they're doing it out of love or hate them because they're not respecting you and your feelings.
many viewers are ticked off by the mom's behavior but unfortunately, this happens in real life all too often, so it's nice to see a show shedding light on it. i look forward to see how huan will break out of her mom's overbearingness.
This drama has 38 episodes but people are acting like they've never watched a Cdrama before π everything in…
yes i know. i'm just saying that i can empathize with the disappointed fans. the things like listing XK as ML and promoting him a lot are misleading because this drama is mainly about YZ's character.
I agree with you. If you are going to promote a drama with certain leads, you would expect them to have ample…
exactly. i put most of the blame on the drama's production team for misleading fans. and a main lead not even appearing in some episodes is ridiculous! unless they're dead and waiting to be revived. they didn't show LYN for even just a couple of minutes in those episodes?
Don't get me wrong but most of the people here complaining about Xu Kai's less screen time don't expect the romance…
yup, i agree with you. all of those are misleading. that's why i can understand why people would be upset about his lack of screentime.
i mentioned the romance part because some viewers thought the FL and bf plot is too draggy and the overall story is too slow in terms of developing the main leads' romance. given that XK is listed as ML, you'd naturally expect that his character would have more significance and for the romance to start developing by now, especially after six episodes. plus, many people like to watch dramas for the romance after all. so when a drama that is labeled as "romance" and promotes the ML a lot doesn't serve exactly that (at least in the beginning), it's no doubt that viewers will be frustrated and disappointed.
(just sharing my thoughts. pls dont attack me lmao) ok ngl i'm starting to understand why people would be frustrated about xu kai/yao zhiming's lack of screen time. the show constantly promotes him and yang zi/mai chenghuan. i checked their douyin and they post more about YZ and XK than niu jun feng/xin jialiang.
this is of course misleading because even though MCH and YZM are the main couple, the story heavily revolves around only MCH and her life. if i was a fan of XK, i'd be upset too because what we "received" doesn't really line up with what we were "told." six episodes in and our FL hasn't even broken up with her bf yet, FL and ML haven't even fallen in love yet, haven't even dated yet...
which leads me to think: do they always have to say that a love interest is a lead character even when they don't get as much screentime? they should make only YZ/MCH the main character. that'd be less confusing and reduce people's expectations.
as someone who comes from a poorer family, it was so painful to see mai chenghuan and her family being ridiculed by xin jialiang and his family βΉοΈ "flea market" oh you're done for, xin jialiang. if you can't even defend your girl from your family then you don't deserve her at all
