This is NOT MY COMPLAINTs ...it's some one else. I just want to reiterate that they should NOT be complaining!
I just want to share a personal opinion because I saw this complaint in some comments: "this actress is not fit to play that role"... etc ... Unfortunately, we don't have a choice. It's based on the producers of the drama. The only choice we have is to not watch the drama with the person we don't like in it. Complaining about this is valid but just wasting time.
I think that if you don't enjoy an actress' expression/styling/etc ... , it's best not to watch her dramas because they are going to be similar in other dramas too. She's a human playing the same career woman role over and over ... Chinese dramas are not like Korean or Hollywood dramas that can have an actress playing a drug addict or abused victim. Chinese drama is very limited and typecasted. They are also censored.
Even the best actresses who won academy awards have similar expressions. That's why they need to take a break so people can forget their face and expressions.
Seven, as I have read the book, fits this role. And yes, she does have similar expressions if in similar situations. So I suggest if you don't like her, don't watch dramas with her in it. I stopped watching dramas with actresses I don't like.
You dropped this because you are confused and you don't like the FL? First, the FL is a complex character, and…
I was not confused. I figured it out by ep 11 all the relationships and can predict what will happen. I also read part of the novel ... My issue with this drama: 1) The story / their relationship is boring and repetitive after ep 12, I cannot take the repetitions any more. 2) The actress' expressions are too modern and not fitting the historical drama ... for example, she tends to flick her face/chin at him ... and that gets on my nerves by ep 12.
Yes, I agree we all have our preferences. Once we notice a fault in the actors/actresses, it's tough to finish the drama.
I don't recommend watching ABAY as it is mainly a Seven's specialty. I like her acting so it's bearable for me. Plus I read the book and the FL is very similar to Seven.
I don't enjoy XK's acting except for one drama a long time ago. However, in ABAY, he fits the role. I also like Lusi so I am waiting for Love's Ambition.
The past few episodes have been focused on setting up her startup ... while this is her characterization, the novel as well as the drama, it could be less focused. I think the drama could have done more to make the scenarios less boring and contrived. This is more of the director problems. If I have to put a rating on 4-8, I would give them 8.0 - this is purely on the fact that the dramatization is not smooth and natural... more like hiccups here and there trying to rush things to compact them into nice packages. I wish that they would just focus on 1 or 2 events and give details and authencity to them.
The next episodes will be better as the setting is more established and we will see more of the leads together.
Thank you. Eventually she will break away to form her own company ... I think she's feeling the pressure to save…
Well he's not really a cheater . He breaks with her first before pursuing another girl ... he just doesn't fit her lifestyle. He needs a wife who spends time with him. She cannot because of her career. The other girl is more supportive and can be with him. This is why HT is better for her. He has his own life and can be left alone while she works on her dreams.
ep4 is draggy ... I don't why they have to flash back to same speech so many times ... hopefully, that's the end of the flash back to same speech! ep5 is better. Overall, adding more screen for XK is a better plan for watching the drama ... and building character chemistry.
Oh, shoot. Actually, Han Ting wanting to invest can be seen as " better safe than sorry". It's an innovative direction,…
This is the key point from the novel. Competition between him and his cousin. Plus I think he can see the potential to complete his product offerings. We'll have to see in ep 6 ...
MDL should implement rules that require at least 50% of a drama's episodes to be released before users can rate…
This will not help because some people will not rate the drama until the end. So the people dropping the drama will vote early and make the score bad. Also, some drama are bad from the beginning. I think people should be allowed to rate it.
There is an issue that I just discovered ... mydramalist allows users to rate the episode even before it's released!
I also discovered 2 people cheated and voted on episodes that haven't been released yet!!!! 1 voted upto episode 12 ... there are only 4 released so far ...
For those who haven't voted, please rate each episode. The rating is bad not because of the drama but because the number of people voted is very low. There are supposedly 7000+ people watching this drama ... yet only 150 have voted. Usually, people are hesitant to vote and wait until the end. You don't need to. You can vote on each episode that you have seen.
This voting will give others an indication of the drama's performance. Please vote honestly. This will help others decide if they want to watch it.
Could you spoil for me whether the ML's female friend from Germany will play a big role? Will she be a large obstacle…
If you meant ZD, once he starts the relationship with FL (in the book he broke up with ZD in Germany).
But in the drama, it seems that he already liked the FL so he will not consider ZD, especially since he discovered that FL didn't reply to him because of the phone number change.
This is a difference between the novel and the drama. In the novel, the relationship dragged on for awhile. In the drama, I hope not because it wouldn't make sense.
