to fit "weak hero" title better ig.

you're "against" it and you're still here bashing the cast for it. their shape doesn't matter for this drama anyways. they're not playing Steve Rogers or Ethan Hunt.

they're not professionally trained fighters, they're bunch of school kids fighting bullies. they're also called "weak hero" don't think they'd be called so if they showed up looking like captain america.

“i'm against sickly thin standards” so you don't practice what you believe in?

it'd be a part of his job had he been starring in a sports drama or a show where he's required to show off his build, not in a show called "weak hero".

both female and male idols can gain weight. but as long as people comment like you do, they'll never gain healthy weight without having comments bashing them for doing so.

there's no way you just called them fat no wonder k-pop and k-ent industry starve their idols. they'd gain 2-3kgs and suddenly people like you arrive calling them "fat".

he acted well in weak hero class 1 and doesn't even look that "chubby" to me, do you want him to be skinny to the point you can see his cheekbones?

he can actually act, which is more important than him "looking chubby"

me too😭
i too just rewatched and want to rewatch again, the friendship, and all other relations shown has me attached plus the main couple is so cute😭

how to get over this drama - rewatch for the nth time

ML also held her captive (she literally calls herself a prisoner) she tried to escape multiple times but he didn't let her, all to gain adv over cui yi so they're both equally toxic according to your logic then.
their whole dynamic is competing with no fair play.

picked it up after initially deciding not to watch it a year ago. the leads had amazing chemistry. i wouldn't say it was flawless but it was a fun watch regardless. the gaming was a little hard to keep up with tbh. ML felt kinda unique. the whole speech he gave to FL in that one ep about why what she did was wrong had me clapping because I totally agreed. i loved how they handled that whole problem. though the side couple felt too artificial.

the way netizens opinions kept changing made me laugh cuz that's exactly how they are when a scandal unfolds.

you're beautiful when you smile is such a beautiful title why'd they go for the confusing and grammatically incorrect one😭

kind of wanna read the novel as people say it's more centred around bai fenxi but is it completely translated anywhere?

late reply but on reddit I saw some one say it was because of how their characters were in the novel this was adapted from. they made ML more trustworthy for the drama hence confusing people.

i just completed this drama and overall it was a very good watch but my only complaints are how sidelined bai fenxi feels around ep 12-23 for like 8-10 episodes she felt like a side character when they started the yongzhou politics part. but it got much better after that. last 2-3 episodes are felt a little unpolished and it isn't about the ending which I don't consider to be "sad" at all.

i like how there wasn't extra drama between the main leads. they both accept that they have feelings for each other without being too extra about it, they're always there for each other, trust each other no matter what. a true power couple.

for me, the romantic moments were balanced well with the plot. at no point it felt like it's turning into "all romance and not plot progression". their relationship progressed nicely with the plot and their chemistry was really good as well.

the best part is FL is strong till the end. a lot of stories that begin with a strong FL kind of nerf her to highlight the male lead but they didn't do that with BFX.

12 eps in and I'm hooked. i saw a lot of complaints about the fight scenes but so far I'm enjoying them maybe they say so cuz it gets bad later or my standards aren't really high yet cuz this is my 2nd/3rd costume/historical c-drama. don't mind the politics either and their chemistry is good too.

hey, though I'm not the one you replied to, thanks for the recs. (currently reading Yu Wu) will check them out after I'm finished with this.

if you've watched hidden love, they have a friend at/during whose wedding (ep 13) DJX found out about SZ. and around ep 21-22 when SZ returns to namwu, SY refuses to pick her up but JX sends a "threat" (delivery) to SY so he would be woken up and would pick SZ.

it's a manga adaptation, isn't "made for western" at all.

i didn't see a problem with it the entire show. they were childhood friends before their parents married, also did not grow up with each other, and lived in different homes throughout their lives, weren't even in contact for over a decade.

spoiler: they got together at the end and their parents got divorced so they're neither related by blood nor by law.

please, I'd be grateful!!
