Thanks! when they only 'see each other', it makes the love story all the more beautiful =P
The love triangle is there but not alot. ML brother is interested in FL. But they share a master-disciple relationshop (due to their love of painting). But SML never confess or do anythg untowardly. FL does not noe. And nvr thk of him in any other way

I havnt watch this. Does she hav a lot of scenes? Wondering if its worth just for d romance but i dont thk i can take another character like that fr her.
I just can't bear to watch her scenes. I rarely skip scenes but I do for this drama. So painful to watch her.…
cant comprehend when the production does it right for nearly evythg in the drama but totally messed up with the writing of secondary loveline. but ya its to painful to sit thru their scenes ;/
How to never get a guy- take a leaf out of Xu Li's book. I don't understand why they want to create a character like that. It's not cute. It's like she's there to annoy you. So instead of a possibly good second couple- we end up having to skip scenes.
Wow while evyone was mentioning male leads from KSH drama for reunion, we forgot about Page Turner. That was the first drama i really rem her and got hooked by her acting. Her chemistry with Jisoo was great. But am scared this drama might end tragically

Some one please recommend me same kind of drama where childhood friends turns into lovers. I am ok with any language.
on MDL u can click on the Tag "childhood friends'- this will bring you to a list of drama/movies that has been tagged with 'childhood friends'. You can run filter from there
Unrelated to the drama, but I saw some BTS clips of Luo Yunxi and Bai Lu, and Luo Yunxi's singing was actually…
Leo Luo debuted as part of a boy band, so he can sing. He is also trained professionally in dancing- ballet. He speaks Sichuan cause he is from Chengdu, SiChuan.
I love the amount of thrills and action in ep1. Young Ji Ah is such a tough cookie - but the amount of calm, intelligence and confidence in a young girl is almost unreal.. maybe its traces from before?
Good article..very detail. Just to point out typo in Seven Tan's name ..'Tan' not 'Tang'. My advice for newcomers: 1. Pick a drama from a platform that does provide subtitles. And not machine-translated ones- because literal translation tends to be erroneous and unreliable. Wrong information on top of context lost 2. Too much spoilers in Opening theme (and sometimes ending themes)- so save yourself - press to time 02:00 on the time bar 3. If you like straightforward dramas - stick to shorter dramas 24episodes - they would focus more on the main leads. Longer dramas, be prepared that secondary couple may get alot of scenes and there will be much more subplots 4. Chinese have a lot of phrases and idioms- you get way more in historical dramas. There are fun to know but can be difficult to understand. 5. Historical dramas can be Standard with some WuXia (Martial arts) or could be Fantastical (XianXia) with magic and fantasy elements. There are very different genre; one or both may or may not appeal to everyone. Hair styling and costume for historical dramas depend on which era, or dynasty. 6. 80% or more of Chinese dramas tends to be adapted from novel, e-novel or manga. 7. Censorship in China means some dramas take forever to be released, or worst- shelved. 8. Some dramas tagged as Bromance could be 'censored romance' if it was adapted from BL-source. 9. Some big productions have large budgets for CGI, overseas shooting and top billing actors. However small productions can pleasantly surprise you. So don't just pick a drama based on famed actors. There are alot of under-rated ones that turned out to be wonderfully written; heart warming story and healing, even though the casts were new to me.

Two rings in a day. Although im glad ZZ has a new pursuer, its kinda too fast n clearly its not love, at least not now. Having just found her own two feet, i dont thk marrying right nw is the answer to her happiness.
I hope that the thriller and action bits are really there and done well. I hope for depth in their characters and backstory. I hope the romance that develops wont be just attraction and superficial. I hope the female lead isn't a damsel and become someone i wan to root for. It's a tall order and I'm trying to moderate my expectations. \(!.!) so hard
