To conclude, what did we all learn from I-Land? - If a contestant gets a sudden exaggerated amount of interest from the directors, the producers and choreographers, as well as, an unreasonable amount of self screen times... Be aware and be very afraid - That contestant will most likely get eliminated on the next episode.
Yeah, all I can say is, for a Saintess and the "State Guardian".... the two leads really seemed quite useless…
For me, they had one of the most bizarre synergy and chemistry that I have seen on screens...
Wu Jia’s character was dry, boring and almost unresponsive. While, Xuxu had to portray a total emotional wreck’s character. It felt as if Wu Jia did not want to play the female lead role. Which is strange because she was having so much fun in the behind the scenes’ footages. I think that I am using my “go to card” on that one: “I am blaming the director.”
me too. its so different from the concept of mostly drama. its so addicting and feel like new genre of drama :D
No. Not the slightest...
Even Lu Han totally impressed me for the first time ever by his acting skills. I used to call him the “Chinese Flower Boy.” Never will I call him that again!!!

Yes, it really does.
Because of “Cross Fire” i even tried to check out “The King’s Avatar” over the weekend.
Well, it is so not it. Aside the graphics which are actually better than the storyline, “The King’s Avatar” is most definitely not on the same level as “Cross Fire.” Lot of eye-candies; however, they are mostly there as decorations...:)
definitely unexpected considering how K was always top according to the producers. however maybe bigger better…
A group with Hanbin, Nicholas, Daniel and Geonu leading by K would be ideal. They all have good vocals. They just need a rapper like Jay.
The truth is that I don’t really care for the juvenile look of ENHYPEN. It feels like the producers were going for a more infantile concept based on the specific demography they are after... And K has definitely outgrown that kind of looks.
*On that note, I am so excited to witness Jay’s further artistic developments. *As for Heeseung... I have a bone to pick with him - so no comments.
Yeah, all I can say is, for a Saintess and the "State Guardian".... the two leads really seemed quite useless…
Well, I am sure they would have been happier. Looking at the behind the scenes footage; they seemed that they were having more fun on the sets than in characters...
1. K (My very top prospect did not make it; however, I will remain your forever #1 fan) 2. Jay 3. Heesung 4. Sunghoon 5. Jungwon 6. Jake 7. Ni-Ki
Fyi: K showed one of the best character development and growth on the show. By the end, his “so-called attitude” went to a complete transformation and K was acknowledged by his peers and the producers alike. Whether their acknowledgements were faked or not... K did not make the final selection (cut); therefore, there is no reason to continue on defaming him.
It might sound stupid and childish to some. However, I can not get myself to watch that finale. I read and saw…
I have no intention of watching it anytime soon.
From what I understand by reading about it and the few clips that I watched; it was a “Parody of total exhibition of power” Or should I say... “Parody of total exhibition of ownership”
Yeah, all I can say is, for a Saintess and the "State Guardian".... the two leads really seemed quite useless…
For all the love that I have for Xuxu... I just can’t acknowledge that wig:)
Fyi: Yes, we checked behind the scenes’ footage; that was a wig. I am actually somehow happy that they decided to shorten the storyline to 28 episodes. I don’t think that I could take more of that emotional wreck from Xuxu.
Wow... This is one of the very few greatest modern dramas of 2020. From episode 1 to episode 36, there are no fillers and no boring moments. Each actor and actress play their roles to perfection. By far, BEST ACTING PERFORMANCES by both Lu Han and Leo Wu. Their synergy, their chemistry and their bromance resonate through the scene. The integration of life-actions in the CGI’s fighting sequence scenes are amazing... And very well directed. I am utterly impressed by the storyline and I am not even an avid fan of e-sports concepts.
Spoiler Alerts: - Very realistic ending; which made this new concept very successful. - The romance blossomed for both male leads. Lu Han impressed me with his “rated R... abilities.” I am not going to lie; I am still shocked... And Leo Wu’s romance was sweet, charming and so adorable. Fyi, his love interest (portrayed by Dai Lu Wa) was just as interesting as his character. Surprisingly, she was not annoying or obnoxious as it is “the norms” for most female leads in asian dramas... - Both male leads met in the past and in the present.
*The general consensus: “Cross Fire 2020” is a MUST watch this year. Right now, there is not an e-sports drama concept out there that can surpass it, yet. Personally, I am waiting for “Falling Into Your Smile 2020”with Xu Kai aka Xuxu for a comparative match.

In a historical Wuxia romance drama...
This is what I call “A Chinese Noona Romance”
Would it work?
I am most definitely intrigued.
BRING IT ON!!!
Fyi:
I hope Sa Ding Ding gives us a mesmerizing OST again for The Long Ballad, as she did for Ashes of Love.

Anything to comfort him is welcome.
*It is very sad and upsetting that K was used as a CHESS PIECE...

I loved seeing both of them interacting together.
One thing that I learned about Korean culture over the years is that they are very much afraid of rumors...
However, I can not get myself to watch that finale.
I read and saw some clips but I still can not watch it.
“It is scary how easy it is to destroy someone’s life and future...”
Yeah...
All of my favorites made it but damn!!!
K did not make it.
I just can’t acknowledge that wig:)
