First time I saw him was Another Miss Oh. "Rooftop party! Rooftop party!"

For me that was the best introductory.

It's funny but I always feel like I get more diverse roles for female leads/characters in C-Dramas. Though K-dramas are trying to catch up.

That's one of the biggest reasons I've come back to dramas: women's roles have been a bit more diverse.

Greedy person that I am, I want more. I'll take what I can get and be happy that more characters/roles are getting to diversify.

I think My ID is a Gangnam Beauty and The Guest ended up being very underrated, which is sad.

No way. The first 9 episodes were brilliant. Then after that it just went down hill. The plot lost itself and them just forgiving the killer was the straw that broke the camel's back!

Love your cast picks! I, for once, have no arlternatives that I think would be better. I whole heartedly agree with your pick for Carrie.

I think pretty much all of these are on my list except a few. Added Duel though!

Thank you!

Is there still no work on who might be picking this up for streaming?

Anne Rice. She's the original and technically has more movies. Though I don't actually care for Rice or Meyer's vampire works.

It use to bother me to drop dramas. However, I've soon embraced it gleefully. It doesn't bother me what other MDL friends think since they kind of expect it of me now! In fact I remember many guessing when I'd dump certain dramas! >_< I like the 4 episode rule in general. Though I think for long Chinese dramas you can get a feel by 6 episodes a lot of times.

If you don't drop I think you'll get drama burn out faster. Or even come to dislike dramas. I discovered that I truly became a drama fan when I started dropping the ones I didn't like. I didn't need to feel obligated to suffer through popular titles.

Well thanks for the longer response! ^_- Maybe I will be brave and eventually give this one a whirl! I love the sound of the female lead's character.

Well that's light to only have the last 4 episodes dragging.

That sounds good. How is the pacing?

I've really wanted to give this show a go, but the pacing issue scares me. K-dramas are the worst for dragging things out and making me drop them. I mean only K-dramas can make 16 episodes feel like an eternity when once enjoying the show. It would drive me crazy to get so far and have to dump it!

I think the truth is we'd like to see all our favorite actors and actresses in diverse roles. Especially actresses. It's exciting to see them in new dramas and I think seeing them play totally polar characters would only add to that!

Ironically filming on location costs more than sets. Plus, sometimes adding the cgi effects to a live shot (aka real location) can cost way more. Especially depending on the software. Sound, and so much more is easier to create/control on sets with green screens. There's lots of other technical reasons for it as well. Blame the wigs on the makeup department. Bad wigs happen outside of Chinese fantasy drama.

I a lot of it can be bad. You get use to it and then you really appreciate it when you see great CGI. Most TV CGI sucks. I remember Once Upon a Time In Wonderland got canceled because people couldn't stand the CGI, despite it's great story.

Huh, okay. I've been writing my episode reviews with him as Dijun.

I'm really curious why Dong Hua Dijun is only Dong Hua in the cast page? They even call him just Dijun in the show?

I'm I missing something?

This reminds me of the 50 First Dates.
