it just sounds like i need everything flawless. after all my brain learned to ignore wrinkles from wigs ( clearly they simply tied a hair bun too tight ) 😂

no doubt available filters will get better and cheaper. soon you wont notice a thing :D

that said although i understand why they defer stuff like that to post production but i prefer if the handled it the old way like makeup artist with a needle and a can of spray paint 😂

I'm not disagreeing about beauty filters per se. They are just easily abused.

i dont mind if it's rare but in historical dramas with all the glue and make up there are some vicious breakouts. then they try to cover it up with some cakey stuff and it starts to look like warts ... actually, in a recent one could be first jasmine, ml had a pimple on the left side of his chin which looked like it was about to burst and they did a close up on his left side almost close up. i just instinctively moved away from the screen ... 😂tough, tough call not sure if seeing pores is worth it.

yeah, but acne is a tad too prominent occasionally.

lols 2 years later, i wonder which song you'd be hummin'

Ain't no fairy story, ain't no skin-and-bones
But you give all you got, weighin' in at 19 stone ...

or the mellower

call me freaky, call me sick
I like it sticky, I like it big
I hate it skinny, I hate it flat
I don't need mini, I like it fat

but something tells me you'll take what you're given :D from a guy

initially i thought she was doing it intentionally . but yeah i cackled when she was asked to say something nice to make him happy and she goes "Isn't my story with Mao pleasing?" ... oh you little sunshine.

...when you could just kill them all instead :D

i didn't like him from the start. if someone bothered to use a pun like that.. then maybe i was reasonable :D anyway we'll see. maybe he is wonderful but misunderstood.

that's pretty much where similarity ends so far. i dont mean it in a good/bad way.

haha, you're pulling the piss :D it's a very common name in china like john smith

given the setup that she's his best friend's girl he didn't overstep.

eeeh, that's kind of fortunate. because if they sell it to netflix & disney then the rest of us get geoblocked.

so we should expect that Li Mao is going to turn to the darkside :D

yeah, im on like completely opposite side :D something sunny, sweet, fluffy and lovely visuals. when i read synopses i thought it will be something like the rise of phoenixes. feels weird to say, what an ingenious move to get 28yo to play 28 yo and a 17yo to play 17yo to get believable vibe for the setup. plenty of good scenes in which no one else would work.

eh, i do that quite often. generally intrigue & political bs is just not my thing. but the couple's chemistry is amazing. if it wasn't for that other crowd i would've missed it. good good.

insanely good. it's been awhile since i've watched something with my mouth open for that long. whew good show.

haha yeah. she was 16 when she did some concubine role

what you consider to be common sense might be complete nonsense to others. despite the fact that it often happen irl here it's just a job for both of them. so indeed it sounds like your personal hangup.

you assumed im a fan but ... that's again just your assumption. kind of like he hong shan but to say im a fan would be a bit much. and like im still checking out if im going to bother watching the show so clearly it's not "when your favorite celebrity is involved" case

it's not like she's 8. besides it's her first role as a lead so she would be the first to be ok with age gap. so you'd prefer she didn't get that role just because it makes you go eeew
