Overdo is OVERDUE peeps! Release this already.
I NEED to see ANGSTY, DESPERATE and LOVE SCORNED Murong Qingyi! It's ZLH at his best. And WCR's "I-need-to-take-revenge-but-secretly-love-you" vibes . Ded

Chen Yi’s dad is suspicious that Chen Yi was never his biological son and that his mum cheated. He therefore abuses Chen Yi both physically and through control. The irony is lost because Chen Yi gets the results of the paternity .

Yes that’s where his fear of electricity came from.

I really like the set up of this plot. Humble, imperfect beginnings.
I like that Chen Yi and Miao Jing have that hybrid, nuclear family set up.
It’s relatable and realistic. Chen Yi’s dad is too much with the physical and mental abuse. But that’s reality. There are many terrible parents out there. And honestly I’m sure after he dies, you find out Chen Yi is actually his biological son.

As much as I like actors being rich and looking perfect, when the set up is like this, it’s more three dimensional. #nohateLinYuSen lol

FOE was a phenomenal drama - so glad to see the cast reunite. Congrats to Moon Chae Won and her husband! <3

That or clearly he needs money from all the lost endorsements, delays, and lawsuits. After the Phillipines I could imagine Thailand activities next.
One year isn't long. Let’s see how the Korean public respond to his comeback as well. Personally, his controversies are a death sentence to his career, but I do admit that he is a good actor.

Wasn’t there also meant to be a part two of that Disney drama too? I feel bad for his costars and the production team.

Not sure why, perhaps the drama drought but I picked this up again for a second time rewatch. Perhaps missing CZY, and patiently waiting for CD. Not sure if I can relive the PTSD and have my heart broken again. The ending episodes killed me a little inside 🙃🥲🤣

I would encourage you to stick with it. She’s a bit awkward and uncomfortable but it’s part of her character and represents how much she likes Li Zan.

This drama is a slow burn, painful one. If you drop it, I understand, but sticking with it will leave you with something to take away.

It was a mediocre at best drama. I think they tried too hard to be funny, leant too into the BOF & Business Proposal references and the plot and chemistry wasn’t that great. In terms of AHS dramas, I would say stick to BP or Dr Romantic 2& 3. Kim Bum’s character was kind of unnecessary too. Overall and OK show but nothing incredible.

You could argue that this whole show is one big trope then?!

The ending of ep 10 with yet another (3 now in total) is highly uninspiring lol

I was shocked too! I totally thought he was going to be on HeeJu’s side.
Both love morphed into obsession, and he will try to destroy them and himself in the process!

I knew it!!! I was suspicious in an earlier ep where the flashback showed I-An stepping in for the crown prince and attending an event with the Crown Princess that she may have had a thing for him other than being grateful. It also makes sense that despite her schemes to keep the crown with her 8 year old son, she’s never plotted to kill I-An, and was shocked when her father tried to do so at the wedding! Ep 10 said it all! She gave up her dreams and future, and heart! She totally had a thing for I-An instead of his brother!!! Makes total sense, and that much more pitiful for her (she still deserves retribution for her mistakes!).

Kpop is stronger than ever but in terms of Hallyu Wave, there hasn’t been a strong lineup of dramas since the prime years of 2016-2017. Yes, blockbuster hits such as Squid Game took the world by storm, but many fans have diverted attention for a few years now. Scandals, repeated plot lines, poor scripts etc has diminished the impact that was the “Hallyu” wave. Personally, I saw the scales tip since 2023-2024 where I find myself watching a majority of Cdramas with the occasional KDrama that piques my interest. Even stellar cast line ups are not a guaranteed success.

I am enjoying Perfect Crown despite the cliche tropes more for entertainment purposes over script depth and performance.

Ikr? After the first “chasing” we need our next “chasing” drama. 😉
Currently watching 2 kdramas and it’s not filling the void. Looking forward to the OTP and I’ve been yearning for CZY since Fated Hearts. Cant wait for another emotive performance!

I also came here to try stay convinced. I just finished ep 4 and finding my interest wavering.

Up to ep 3 , I'll soon be up to date. Looking forward to the reunion storyline!

I started watching this (for Didi undoubtedly), and tbh ep 1 didn't capture me too much. From ep 2 onwards, I've been enjoying it. I giggled at the Only for Love cast reunion/interaction....
Looking forward to the mysteries unfolding - I usually enjoy these thriller types...despite loving their polished look in idol dramas - this shows a different side of the actors' performances.

They didn't show it but she basically exchanged her lantern for Duan Xu's antidote

If you’re into cdramas, it also reminds me of Bai Lu in Only for Love, when she chases the main lead for an ulterior reason, sending cheesy messages etc.
only to fall for him…
Interestingly, as much as IU owns this role (HDL vibes) I also think Seo Yea Ji could’ve pulled off the Hui Ju role quite well.

He Simu's humour kind of reminds me of Reba at the start of The Legend of Anle. The chemistry in ep 1 was electrifying already! I'm still struggling to get over Marquis Wu'an but then Arthur struts along as his youthful but hot-ass General Duan. *squeal
Will look forward to watching additional eps tonight!
