menstruatal cycles are not the same thing as just going to the bathroom... there's no reason women should feel ashamed to talk about their periods ESPECIALLY in any kind of clinical setting.
I don't like "toilet humor" either, but nothing about that scene was "toilet humor". if you just can't handle talk about any kind of bodily function, i'm not sure why you're watching a show with a medical theme.

unrelated to your comment but what is your pfp gif from?

Originally I dropped this after a few episodes, but then I was wanting to watch a modern setting drama while waiting for more TFF & TBT, so I picked it up again.
I ended up skipping through a lot. Unfortunately it's hard to get into the gaming parts when they only show the screen for a few seconds at a time, so you just have to rely on the commentary but I can't really mentally visualize a pvp game I haven't played personally or watched full gameplay of.

I'm actually surprised the game is a real game after looking it up, ngl I thought they just made something up for the drama since the original novel used League of Legends. I guess that's why the graphics were more detailed than expected. But I really wish they would have shown more gameplay, like have it on screen in the corner while they're doing all those cuts to the characters faces. At least then I could actually follow along better.

To me it seems like at least quite a few months now, but they have mostly kept a professional friendly neighbor sort of relationship? This is a problem I have with dramas sometimes where there's significant time jumps but they don't really mention or recap the off screen time or events so it feels like only days have gone by since the last scenes. I think script writers forget how much a few lines of a character talking to another or just thinking to themselves something like "during these few months this and that has happened" can help the viewer feel more oriented with the passage of time...

Thanks for the info. I mostly just started slimming really fast in the middle. I didn't want to get any major spoilers but I wanted to see when they got together in the og novel hahaha

Oh wow I'm sorry you had to go through that!! but good you had a support system :) And I agree so far enjoying how XiFan is written

Just skimmed the original novel a bit. I didn't see any mention of the past love in my skimming but it's definitely way more of a slow burn than the drama, so it seems like the drama is changing a lot from the original novel. Maybe that's why the description feels off 🤔 although him catching feelings early doesn't mean it won't take a while for them to get together

"Review bombed" may be too strong of a phrase. But it seems like some fans of TFF/the leads are giving this show TBT 1 star ratings arbitrarily. And some fans of this drama TBT/the leads are doing the same thing to TFF. All around just childish behavior lol.

I don't understand why people, especially grown adults, are this petty over drama ratings.
I mean I can understand some comparisons, because they are both urban romance dramas airing at the same time. Someone may prefer one over the other for various reasons. But participating in rating bombing (on either side) is just so childish.

Honestly I don't have any dating experience, but I think it's just common sense. Similar things can happen in platonic friendships/family relationships too.

I think it's funny the description mentions He Suye having a past love that put him off dating but in the first 4 episodes we don't even get any kind of hint about that and he's already whipped. The only thing we've gotten any info about his past is that he has some daddy issues LOL

The comments mad at the FL or saying they lost respect for the FL just bc she called her ex a few times rub me the wrong way. Some of you really have impossible standards for women. They were in a relationship for 7 years and he was clearly gaslighting and manipulating her a lot in their recent conversations, but you can see from the flashbacks they had a postitive relationship for a long time. After all that, it's really not unexpected that she would call a few times *right after* getting the text message and that she would want to speak to him to get some proper closure? I think many people would after suddenly getting dumped over text. I mean, she was thinking about breaking up with him but the last conversation they had he was still mentioning them getting married.
IDK, I just felt like her reaction felt realistic for the situation and personality that was presented.
From her conversations with her friends, it seems like she's really scared of change.
I don't think she was trying to cling onto her ex, but just clinging onto the status quo because it's easier to manage the pain you can predict.

The description made it sound like it would take some time for him to start to like her or at least realize his feelings but guy is obviously interested off rip in ep 1 lol 😅

It doesn't read that way to me at all but sorry if I misunderstood 🤷‍♀️

Oh wow. I thought it was just decided by the production team. If the actor themselves have to pay for dubbing, does it mean they don't get paid when they dub it themselves?

EDIT: i found more info on reddit. so it seems there was a problem with actors being really lazy and not memorizing lines to the point where VAs had to speak out about it? But I'm not sure why VAs would have the issue since it would bring them work, wouldn't the production staff be the ones annoyed?

Not sure why you said "you know" when clearly I did not hence the question... I'm not really familiar with iQIYI as a platform

Is there a chance of this getting picked up by VIKI or another platform or is it exclusive to iQIYI?

What is the dubbing law?

I actually have no clue 😅 I think it's been there for a while.

Not really... Watching Go Back Lover would not change my mind about how this show is doing it. I like how this show is revealing things
