It literally is just your opinion.

"Real life" actually dictates that the burden of proof falls on the accuser (ergo the actress would not be the one who 'has to prove' anything, the person who accused her has to prove that the accusation is truthful). That is how "real life" and, importantly, the law works.

Again - the actress has been accused of bullying. So far, there is no KNOWN victim; there is someone who has accused and someone who has been accused.

Remember that accusations can be false. Imagine if you were accused of bullying or assault or whatever else and it was untrue. Imagine if you lost your job because of this. Imagine if you had to pay legal fees to fight slander? Imagine if, even if you were proven innocent, people still remember you as "the bully" or "a criminal"? If ANY one of these things happened to you, I'm sure YOU would think YOU are the victim.

We don't know the validity of the accusations. INNOCENT until proven guilty is "real life". Not whatever you said. Either one of these people, the actress or the one who accused her, could end up being the victim. That is why you LISTEN to both side but you don't sit there without all of the facts and choose to side with one. You wait until there is proof, until there is a verdict or until there is an admission.

If the person who is accusing the actress is lying, you do understand that the actress is the true victim then, right? So how can you talk about 'supporting the victim' when we don't know who the victim of the situation is?

Um, no offense but are you serious? If the accuser turns out to be lying, the person who was wrongfully accused is the victim of the situation. Conversely, if the accuser turns out to be telling the truth, the accuser is the victim.

That is why we say 'innocent until proven guilty'; in a situation like this, either party could actually be the victim, so how can you say 'believe the victim' when we don't yet know who it is?

The pants are downright ugly but yeah, military breeches have been part of the military uniform for many countries. I guess it has to do with allowing for easier/unrestricted movement? Although I will say that my thought in this context was that it would definitely help to disguise Xie Xiang's figure because even the actual men look like they've got hips for days lmao

I'm going to be honest, the first part of the description makes this sound like a fan-fiction, hahah. That being said, I will always happily watch anything related to Mulan so I can't wait~

His singing voice is so sweet ❀

Excited to watch this; I love Claudia Wang! It will also be nice to see Johnny paired with her. Assuming... this actually airs one day, lmao

I'm ecstatic that this will be subbed on the Yo Yo English channel! I've only watched 5 episodes so far but I honestly really love this drama!

Definitely what I am thinking. I saw some had written a review for another censored Chinese drama where they said "I'm glad that this didn't have a homosexual couple because it wouldn't have worked as well" which may be a fair point, but at the same time... it was SUPPOSED to have a homosexual couple. The main homosexual couple wasn't replaced with a heterosexual couple and some bromance because the director thought that the story would be benefited by it but because the homosexual couple couldn't be included. Agreeing with something because you choose to look at it as an artistic choice when in reality is is censorship, plain and simple? I think given the social climate around sexuality in China, it was a very thoughtless thing for that person to say.

I've linked the second episode but all of the episodes are on the same channel :-)

The series so far is good and I don't mean to downplay that at all, but I can't help that my favourite part is just Bright rolling his eyes a million times. So hilarious hahah

Probably her roles. A lot of her roles are quite cliche and she seems a bit stiff sometimes (perhaps because of the characters she tends to play, though).

Damn. Four women have come forward now.

I feel a little bad for Tae Jin, still. Even Pretty HY. But it's nice to actually like both of the lead characters for a change ~ This drama is so refreshing ~

Like I said - the first few words of the very first sentence I wrote (wrote, not something I said aloud which you hear and can't ignore but something you CHOSE to continue to read) explained my stance on the matter.

If you're so sick of comments like this, ignore them. It's not difficult. I'm sure me not liking a certain part of a drama doesn't offend you personally. And damn, PC argument? Where? I said I feel uncomfortable and that the actress could've looked young while not being underage. It's obviously a critique. Don't know the difference? Maybe study something else besides history.

I don't like one part of the drama, why should I drop it if I'm enjoying most of it? Why can I not comment my opinion when you did the exact same?

I don't care if it was socially acceptable in history (read: in the past). I personally do not agree with the casting choice, just as you personally do not mind it. I feel it takes away from the drama. It is an opinion, as you have your own, but you don't need to attack me just because you think your opinion is worth more or is 'correct'.

The very first sentence of my comment gives a good idea of where I stand, so why read the rest of the paragraph and bother responding?

A lot of people are saying that no one should mind the age difference because it's a saeguk drama - it's not like they'll kiss, etc. But at the end of the day they are portraying a couple and, knowing their ages, it's hard to really even think "they look cute together" or think of them romantically. It does take away, a bit.
