I haven’t been able to watch but from what I can tell it seems There is tragic love the stuff of Romeo and Juliet kind. It’s tragic because the love is sincere but destroyed by fate, family conflict, and bad timing. Yes romance they grew up together young and care deeply for each other, so much willing to go extreme. It’s just not glossy idol drama kind of those romance novels. But it’s not just them. The father son relationship is also at the core of the narrative and is likely the bigger narrative than them
The 800‑meter radius creates a world people cannot escape — a small community where everyone is connected within three degrees of separation. Walking from one end of the circle to the other takes about 15 to 20 minutes, roughly the distance of a mile. For reference, 1 mile equals 1,609.344 meters.
Why does MDL not list Tencent heat index for this drama? There are dramas below 22k listed. Do I even need to ask? I’m not surprised. Maybe they’ll list it when drama is done airing. They always position his dramas at disadvantage. https://kisskh.at/list/4PXgYMa4
It’s true for any cdrama. How can non Chinese person fully grasp it although they can still enjoy what they…
50%!? Give an example of what you think was missed. The reason I know is I asked about meaning of a poetry in a historical (they’re always reciting ancient poetry) from Chinese person who said can’t explain it in English there vocabulary for it.
So I gathered Chen Hui isn’t a classic madman villain chasing revenge, power, or lust. He’s a youth crushed by pressure, trapped by his environment, and pulled into a spiral he can’t escape. He’s someone who is deliberate, knows exactly what he’s doing but chooses dark path he cannot escape. Will the story make his tragedy one audience can sympathize with of condemn him?
the general message of the drama is clear. However, I think he missed the point of why 800, why they chose that…
So even though the radius decreased by 200 meters (≈ 2 football fields long), the area decreased by about 159 football fields. Perhaps 800 is a more reasonable size.
I’m unable to watch this drama but for now I watched first two episodes with no sound or no English subtitles. I have no idea what is going on in the story but from what I can tell it’s sure fast pace, full of action and very tense young man who looks like world is collapsing but when he looks at his girl he puts on a courageous and reassuring face. It feels like this could have been a 30 episode drama but they packed it fast and tight. Hopefully that won’t affect emotional outcome. I need to rewatch that scene of him playing Chinese chess with the old man again because every character Xu Kai creates comes with its unique set of traits. It’s great for Xu Kai to pair up with this talented young actress. She kind of reminds me of the talented Zhou Dong Yu.
“Whatever happens, the law should give a proper verdict in this case. Chen Hui and the others should receive…
Your comment reminded me of a really tense drama I watched long time ago starring amazing actor Denzel Washington His son is dying and needs a transplant and the wife says do something so he holds up the hospital with gun and hostages but in the end his son got transplant and lived but he goes to prison and he said he’d do it all over again to save his son.
Xu Kai is an actor who has repeatedly shown that when he’s given a compelling character, he doesn’t need a lot of screen time for his presence to be felt. Even when the story was not centered on his character, he managed to make it feel like the story was about his character. Well In this drama, the story does revolve around his character, the emotional core depends on his character, so even with limited screen time, he essentially has to carry the weight of the story. I’m not saying he’s the best actor in the cast—there are many talented actors here—but the psychological depth of his character has to come through for the story to have real meaning. His character is the key to the narrative, while other characters may have more screen time to establish the world and context of the story. This is a team effort drama not all one actor
I see a handful complaining of main leads chemistry when its top notch, which is like the highlight of the drama…
Why would 1% be bothersome? Are you expecting 100% which is unrealistic? That’s like saying everyone should have the same likes. Isn’t 1% less than an error rate? It’s like saying no one should dislike this drama isn’t that as extreme as the 1%
