I am pleasantly surprised. Absolutely glad for clicking on this in Netflix. After 3 episodes, I am finding this drama very cute and interesting. Been in a kdrama slump lately and it looks like a good 'ol romcom is the one that's going to get me out of it. Great chemistry with the leads. I hope they can sustain this just right amount of comedy, romance with a sprinkling of intrigue until the end.
A partial list of 💋kissing scenes (based on the leaked call sheets)Episode 8: First kiss in the snowEpisode…
And this is supposed to be a "partial" list. I mean, that is quite a lot! Not complaining, though. 🤭🤭🤭 But for a moment, I still thought of DEX as that 15 year old girl in Flourish in Time, and then realize she has been an adult for a few years now.... I hope this series airs soon!
A good adaptation starts with a good script but it seems like MDL doesn’t have info about the screenwriter. But the director seems to have a good track record, especially when it comes to youth drama, so there is that. And with good actors playing the main leads, it looks like this adaptation has hope to be a good one.
When you posted about not being sure about her visual, I interpreted it as such, the visuals. I haven’t read the novel so I thought, is Xu Sui that physically/visually different from the actress? If it’s about vibe and personality of the character, well she’s an actress. It’s part of her job, and the director’s and screenwriter’s the entire cast really, to create the vibe and personality of the character. It just felt weird for me reading that hopefully the actress can bring justice to the pairing, a responsibility that should be carried by the two people in that pair and the rest of the production team.
Late to the party but I’m glad I picked this up. Only in episode 15 but I am loving this. 👍👍👍Great acting from the cast, plot going well so far, good chemistry between all the actors, and good character development from the main leads. I hope it’s sustained for the rest of the series.
Wait I might be misunderstanding something but it sounds like the twenty year old female lead is supposed to be…
Yeah, looks like it. The actress is 20 years old and she will be playing a character who is a surgeon (did not specify if in training or already a consultant) who could probably be in their mid to late 20s. I don't think she will be doing a 20 year old surgeon character.
It is true that his screen time is that low and his fans calculated his screen time with stop watches. The illusion…
As someone who actually tried to time his scenes in one episode, I cannot agree to those numbers. When I hit the 15 min mark of screen time, I stopped because I realized how ridiculous it was. I know it's nitpicking but it's just outrageous. Calling out because he only had 2.5 hrs of close up scenes and the rest are not close up? He filmed for 4 months with a script as thick as a college textbook and it shows. If everyone starts measuring the presence of the actor based only on close-up shots, then we have lost sight of everything else the actor has done on the other non-close up scenes. And that's when a good character is seen as nothing more than a "young loverboy".
Okay, so 2.5 hours of CLOSE-UP scenes for the ML. Not a TOTAL of 2.5 hours for the entire drama. I am watching this and DYX definitely has more than those few minutes per episode that they are claiming. The way people are trying to make this series the “bad guy” is getting out of hand.
The ML only had 2.5 hours of screen time in a 40 episode drama… probably too difficult to build any chemistry…
2.5 hours of CLOSE-UP scenes, apparently. And then someone, somewhere ran away with that and labelled it as 2.5 hours total scenes. Anyone paying attention to the drama could clearly see that DYX had more than those supposed maximum of 7 mins of screen time in an episode.
