Okay i just had to reply cause Pride and Prejudice is my favourite thing ever! I loved the book and i rewatch…
Have seen the latest Emma adaptation? I haven't, but I to be honest I don't think I will, unless someone convince me otherwise... I'm afraid it's gonna be a disappointment again.

OH MY GOODNESS YES! Persuasion is so underrated!!! And unfortunately I couldn't even bring myself to watch the first minutes of the movie. I mean, I like Sally Hawkins but she isn't Anne for me. An adaptation to make justice to the book is very much needed.
Well we'll have to agree to disagree ๐ I loved Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth! (during the pandemic she read the whole book for her fans in her Youtube channel for anyone interested)
Keira Knightley portrayed the character a Iittle bit too tom-boyish/angry/aggresive for my taste, while Jennifer played her as a lady who makes her own rules, doesn't give a shit (without losing her class), who is sarcastic and a little bit revengeful (I like that you can tell when she becomes petty and is in the wrong ๐). I don't know....
But both ladies did a great job by the end of the day. And as I wrote above, the P&P movie is the only Jane Austin movie I actually enjoyed and I would't mind rewatching. The rest though ๐ฌ
ps. Cher's "as if" and "You don't understand ! This is an Alaia" deserve their own spot at AFI's best quote list for sure!

Yeah, I am not saying it's a bad movie by all means! It's actually pretty good. I rewatch it on Netflix again previously this year, and I enjoyed my second viewing a lot more.
But the series are on different level for me ๐
The main issue I had with the movie is that they exclude (or altered) some elements of the book that I loved (which to be fair is understandable considering the limited screen time) and the fact that I had huge expectations from it. But I guess fans of the books are always the hardest ones to please when you adopt it into a movie ๐

Yep, definitely one of my favourite books! (currently re-reading it for my bookclub) Although I'm a fan of the series and not so much of the movie myself ๐I feel it portrays the book so beautifully! I have watched it so many times I say the lines along with the actors... every single time ๐ I watch it at least once every 3 to 6 months too!!! I am glad I'm not the only obsessed with these two ๐
I expected the art to be much better but oh well, is that spinoff not hot๐
Oh yes!!! Well, he might make a cameo???? I am really hoping they will surprise us with introducing him the last minute ๐๐ป As we say in my country "hope always dies last" ๐

You mean the art of the webtoon? I don't know, I kind of liked it ๐ It's your typical "webtoon art style", nothing original or super great, but quite pleasing to the eye and cute. But I guess it doesn't stand out much ๐
The drunk scene had me nearly in tears from laughing holy moly
The drunk scene has to be one of my favourites ๐๐๐ It's one of the funniest drunk scenes in BL for me. Yuan Jun Cheng was such a cute and entertaining drunk ๐คฃ
Has second season been confirmed??? You are giving me hope ๐
That's great! They will have the chance then, to develop the other couples in a better, smoother pace and we'll have more episodes to enjoy ๐ Thank you for letting me know!!!
I believe that might be a reference to "A Tale of Thousand Stars" ๐
You are welcome :)
Yeah, it's a very complicated story indeed but I would love to see adapted to series! Definitely not a fluffy BL but a super angsty one which will make the happy ending even more fulfilling ๐
I am also team Shinwoo in case it wasn't clear enough ๐
They are perfect for each other! I hope we will get to see them as a couple on season 2 ๐๐ป

I agree that most Jane Austin adaptions are mediocre, which is truly unfortunate. In comparison with the rest though, the P&P movie is great indeed.
May I ask, have you watched the mini series?
ps. Clueless is amazing but as you said not exactly an adaptation. More like inspired by. But amazing nonetheless ๐

It gets the job done and that's it. It's nothing unique or exceptional, just cute and polished.

It's his love story with another professor/ex-classmate!

That's good news! Let's hope the series is successful enough then :)
