Hi from the U.S!

Welcome to MDL... I'm in Cali too (Bay Area) :)

I work in Bay Area and we seem to have similar taste in drama, welcome!

 Jay:

I actually just asked Jay about you and he said he met you on this website haha that is so interesting how you both have the same name and very similar taste in dramas!!

 Jay:

Glitch in the matrix..I mean I forgot to log out of my second account. 

Shut up Jay!

Hello and thank you! Wow that's cool, what do you do for your work? Yeah, we both love NIF :") I am so happy to see another fan!! Also, I know a Jay on here too and I see you both are friends. https://mydramalist.com/profile/JayEllz How do you both know each other? Hahahaha

I work in tech, as most ppl in the Bay Area/Silicon Valley.

I'm aware of another Jay and assure you he's not me, otherwise I would've been talking to myself. We met on this site called MyDramaList where there's only a handful of cdrama fans. If you look deep enough into the popular cdramas, you'll probably find my controversial opinions/criticisms somewhere, the other Jay tends to find the positives I think. In fact, I just posted one on Secrets of the Three Kingdoms, I would still recommend watching it though.

NIF is I dare say an objectively good drama so I think a lot of ppl will naturally like it. I actually I think we share similar taste because of the other stuff.

Were you born and raised here in the Bay Area/Silicon Valley? I was haha

This still feels so weird that I am talking to two Jays lmao. You both type so similarly though... are you both sure you're not long lost brothers? LOOOL

Yeah, c-dramas are pretty underrated with the k-drama hype taking over currently. I guess people prefer looking at k-dramas as there's this kind of idealistic romance in most of them lol. I personally have watched all k, c, and j-dramas and I honestly enjoy c-dramas so far the most. I find the acting of most k-dramas are so overexaggerated and over the top, so that's a turn off. The storylines for most k-dramas can get a bit bland... On the other hand, the storylines for a lot of j-dramas are seriously so incredibly brilliant but I find the acting in basically all j-dramas so awkward and restricted like they are not acting to their fullest potential? Yeah, if only jdramas could improve on the acting of their actors, then at least one j-drama could make it on my favorite dramas list! Korean dramas are my 2nd favorite type of dramas after Chinese dramas just like you! Yeah, I read your bio haha :) Remember - War of the Son is in your favorite dramas list too yessssssss you have good taste indeed.

NIF is definitely a good drama to me also. Oh god, I am still in love with the show. It will seriously remain my #1 favorite drama of all time in this generation, that's a fact. I hope to bring out good content like NIF in the future as my major includes film though, haha hopefully I even survive college :-) This world needs more good quality content of dramas like NIF, I'll try my best to make it happen!

I remembering saying the same thing somewhere but now I think their acting is not necessarily bad, but they have a different culture thus influencing the way they act. It may seem bland to us, maybe lacking in emotion/too reserved but it's perfectly normal for them. What I find most weird is the contrast between japanese acting and anime voice acting.

I can't say I like cdrama more than kdrama overall, but I think China has the best drama at the top end.
