most recent rumor suggests a late spring/early summer release. During peony season.
They don't really need to. Judging from when we had communism in our country. One either needs to be smarter or grease the right palm. Opposite to 1970s, Chinese communism adapted capitalism into their society much better, so the 2nd option is more likely, I'd say. They simply need to make it look good not to be too obvious. 🤷♀️
I didn't mind her performance in Gu Family Book (I had bigger problem, when I found out the ML thinks her to be…
What I mean is she didn't bind her breasts like the cross dressing characters usually do. Her body shape was very telling, her clothes were more like highlighting her figure. No man looks like that. Even the hair. She made the Joseon male bun very feminine. She wore a man's clothes, but nothing else about her was manly.
they live in same neighborhood, so kind of neighbor as well though
Maybe some day. mentioning the Well-Intended Love, it was so highly recommended I went into it without a doubt. And beside not finding it as good as recommended, the plot was so... I know it's not the guy's fault. The writer and director made it this way more than he could help it and actor taking a role is still a person taking a job. Not all of us can always take the best one we'd like. But no matter how much I try, I can't stop seeing that role in him. You know, some things you can't unsee. And that is what I worry about with this actor. I like him since his first role, I would be sad if something ruined him for me.
I was hoping for normal discussion that would help me decide, but except you, I just attracted everyone who just wants to pick a fight. I guess I'm getting old, I'm not in mood filtering this. So at least, thank you for your input.
what a braindead take. male lead is the greenest flag possible and the drama is good
I never said either of those thing, stop assuming. Leave me out of your whatever it is supposed to be. That a doctor can't date his patient is what a law in almost every country says, not from my head.
I am that far, but what good is not agreeing with the marriage, when he's still eating the food her money paid for? When he does nothing against her mistreatment? It's just empty talk.
Seen it today. Just one redeeming quality he has, one of the reasons he refuses the divorce is the the hardships she'd endure as a divorced woman. Dramas make us believe it was fine, but it wasn't. And when the princess suggests the divorce, he feels disgusted by her being OK with Mudan paying such price for them.
Something tells me this won’t be made. Anyhoo I really hope Lusi and Ryan work together again. Both have been…
I might be wrong, but it is usually because of the same management company. Like when Bai Lu's dramas have usually at least several supporting characters played by actors she played with before. I heard it's due to her management company being involved in the production and using it to get some spots for their artists. It is not as heavy as when in the 1930s and 1940s films in USA were made by studios, which had actors signed exclusively to them, so it was difficult to have pairing of actors signed elsewhere, but depending on their part in the production, it is similar.
Plus, there is also the image their teams want the actors to have. Tiger and Rose is not a drama often mentioned as a previous role in the articles about Ding Yu Xi. If they want to highlight his different roles to show a different image than in this one, they might shy away from being associated with Zhao Lu Si again. I remember the Intense Love drama aired the same year and back then already, his team was criticised by fans for prioritizing Intense Love.
That being said, I have a soft spot for this drama, so I'd welcome it.
Thank you. And thank God. I hope she gets to throw in his face that she never wanted to be his wife either. His confidence in himself is even more annoying than he is.
Never have it, except for me, it isn't because of any effort. I just find the qualities of SLs that make people fall for them annoying or even hateful.
They're always the ones who start to like the FL first, but are playing all subtle and get the girl be stolen by the ML right in front of their eyes. And then they're all "I liked her first", "You don't deserve her, because..." etc. Their entitlement about how they have some kind of dibs makes my blood boil. But it's always their own fault they missed their chance when they had it and I only cheer for the FLs that they stopped waiting (in dramas, where the FL actually starts with liking the SML first, but moves on, when he either pretends not to like her back for some stupid noble reason or he is the only one not seeing it despite the FL being pretty obvious - those are like how much? 80 % or more?). Those dramas, where the SL never had a chance are rare and I still can't blame the FL. They always make it about themselves, but the point is always about whether you like a person or not.
I'm not saying there are no exceptions, but I usually avoid those. Like when watching the Kind the Land, I sensed the SL might get the girl (which is the exception of SL getting the FL), I waited for it to finish airing, confirmed and dropped it. The SL was so painfully uninteresting and overall bland, I didn't have the patience to watch his love story. And it was a shame, I always look forward to historical dramas from different era than Joseon (I mean, why the fixation with those 500 years, when their history is much richer? And with costumes more flattering.), but they rarely deliver.
I did have this issue with the Heirs. BUT. It was one of my earliest dramas, I still had hope. And honestly, it is not a typical K-drama. It was trying to be something else. And I knew how this would end, I never hoped otherwise. But I couldn't help but think if it was an American drama, the main leads would circle around each other for a season or 2, until they realised it is unsustainable relationship and she would move on and inevitable ended up with the SL. The whole romantic plot was so stupid... They were highschoolers for god's sake. It was so dumb, how much effort was put into breaking them up and how everyone acted as if it was marriage level relationship. And there was a guy who asked his father if HE has the nerve meddling in his relationship. And that was it.
The former. There are slight overlaps, of course. When do you plan to start the drama?
What drama has none? I can certainly tell from the start it's different, but Netflix seems to be involved more than just buying broadcasting rights, so no wonder. Scent of time was produced by HBO if I remember correctly, the leads never even kissed or admitted liking each other and I still couldn't stop watching one episode after another. I do not exactly worship the style of either of these companies, but if you they so rarely touch C-dramas, the one different needle in a haystack is a refreshing change.

That was quick. Started with the first episode today. Was looking for a replacement when finishing a different drama and found persuasive videos on YT. Looks good so far.
Can someone clarify? Is it the kind of drama, where there are for example 10 episodes focused on one sister and her story arc, the others are side characters and when her storyline comes to a conclusion after several episodes, another sister becomes a main and so on? Or the storylines work in parallel? Both is good, I just need to know what to expect, how to plan the watching etc.
I PRAYYYYYY this will be more like TTEOM than TLI. I couldn’t stand all the misunderstandings in the latter
Misunderstanding is like bread and butter for these dramas. I could live with it. The problem of the Last Immortal was the constant deux ex machina. They kept bringing up new miracle solutions constantly. If you have xianxia, sure, thwre is magic, but there should be some rules to it. In that drama, we were given no even rough outline of the rules, but the drama acted as we were supposed to know them, but then were immediately broken by some miracle artefact no one thought to use before or by set of events that wouldn't happen ever before. No matter what happened to character, their life was saved depending on how it suited the writers, not depending whether it made sense. It was constant big tragedy, let's cry, but hey, we do have a solution after all, then lesser tragedy, the character is not that important, let's leave them dead to give proper motivation, then big tragedy again, proper cry and a save again we could have used the last time, but we didn't because we acted like it's impossible. 🙄

But it's just 1 of many bad.
