Know what he died of? Over work and exhaustion. They know they're doing nonsence by looking for 'history of heart disease' and 'reason from cardiac arrest'. It's just overwork, and it happens so often here in Asia, that it's seen as 'a problem' but also the norm. No one raises an eyebrow when someone dies of overwork here. Even I, as an expatriate to Asia, feel guilty if I don't work as hard, or do more than is expected, sometimes that means staying after my work hours to get everything done.
This needs to change across the board. This overwork culture is toxic. For me, I'll go home on time now; work can wait forever but my time is limited.
This was disappointing, especially the end. The acting was alright. It’s the story that needed work. All those conspiracies, 20 years of dishonesty and corruption and plotting, and for what? For the bad guys to say peacefully “here you go” in the end. What? Wouldn’t recommend.
Typical Japanese drama. They strip all emotions from entertainment, and focus on the family and relationship between friends (if it’s not a crime/ thriller). Very typical. Pass
This guy has awesome acting skills! Work hard! We will support you!
Love him the best in Extraordinary You because he sells his multi-dimensional character to the audience in a way that outshines the typical male and female lead roles.
This is too harsh of Chinese media and fan and production companies. If she were male, no one would make this such a big issue. Added to that, she didn't kill anyone, she didn't do some heinous crime. She participated in getting paid using the method most other top Chinese stars use. Actually, which rich person doesn't use tax evasion? Look at Trump, look at most ministers in government around the world. Look the the rich people running your countries.
She was dishonest and she got caught, but the backlash is a bit too much.
I actually thought he could have had more courage to pursue his love. He had 20,000 years to do it but he didn't,…
Many MLs have the courage to say "I like you" or at least to express it with possessiveness, jealousy, or some kind of very obvious action. Many SMLs are the nice guy, or treat everyone the same so the FL can't even tell he likes her. It's also true IRL.
Thanks for the article! I tend to drop historical Chinese dramas because they're long and I hate all the misunderstandings…
Ming Lan's ML never made her suffer though, and that's why I think we all fell in love with the show. Ming Lan and the ML went through a lot separately, then we get to see them be each other's reward. It was super satisfying.
No apology but he definitely regretted what he had done and attempted to repent afterwards. I don't agree with…
Exactly. A lot of these endings were not about kindness or forgiveness. It was just because the heroine kept enduring or surviving the only way circumstances let her.

Spoil me. If you can’t remember, is it beginning, middle, end?
