This actor, Xue Hao Wen, plays the character - Gu Tao so well that I am catching myself sympathizing with a drug manufacturer, a drug trafficker, an arms dealer and a murderer... I am conflicted about Fang Han/Fang Mo helping him with his predicaments or sending him to prison.
Even with all the hypes and the huge budget “The Thunder” got; I find that this drama “Never Say Never” has a much better execution, dynamic and flow. The storyline, the production and the general acting of the entire cast are really well done.
Qin Jun Jie is really consistent with his character and he is a far much better actor than Johnny Huang (Sorry Johnny). I watched “The Thunder” because I had enjoyed “When a Snail Falls in Love;” however, “Never Say Never” is by far my favorite.
*On a Side Note: China hands death penalties like they were handing candies...
3 controversies listed mostly at the comments section: age gap,sexual harrasment,racism.Age gap between adults…
Another example: In Fiery Priest, the same actor played a wannabe Afro-Brazilian Capoeira martial artist with the hair, the distinctive clothing and the bare feet. However, as far as I know, there were never any mentions of controversy about that character... If they are feeling all vexed about this new one (which is certainly a creation from poor writing and haphazard research)... about that old one? I call it selective appreciation disorder.
Maybe she is trying to do a Chinese Dr Evil (Austin Powers).
I agree. That character does have some quirks... Or a few screws loose...
Beside the whole revenge thing, there is something not quite right with her... That scene when she was playing with that kite, she really seemed that she was enjoying herself like a child before she went berserk during the ambush.
On that show she also sexually harassed the ML by kissing him (To protect herself from humiliation) and what’s…
When this has escalated to sexual harassment and selfish motive?
You have your own perceptions on things and I have my own perceptions on things. We clearly are from different cultures that have different views. Let’s just respect each other’s opinions without the biased subjective phrasing.

Wow... You really went deep into it. I do admire your persistence.
From a different perspective, she was starting to help him with his disorder; even though, she herself was not aware of it. It was a psychological disorder; the only way to overcome it, is to dive into it.

I don’t remember her harassing her ML in Clean with Passion for Now? And I utterly enjoyed that drama.
I am guessing my culture is more avant-garde than the Korean culture; a kiss where both participants are not pushing each other away is not considered a harassment where I am from.
Why the red grand master of revenge keeps on smelling her finger in all her scenes? That repetitive gesture strikes me as odd...
That actress, Lin Yuan, who plays Mo Huan/Ming Zun has finally found her niche. In all her past projects, she had always came out as annoyingly irritating. This role fits her like a glove.
My girl, Kim Yoo-jung, is a rebellious activist. I love that about her...
When she did “Clean with Passion for Now,” she got so much stupid BS for playing the love interest of Jang Sun-Gyeol played by Yoon Kyun-sang who is more than 10 years older than her...
Then she turned around, came back and did it all over again in this drama, “Backstreet Rookie.” This time with Ji Chang-wook as his future love interest. Who is also, by the way, more than 10 years older than her.
I have to admire that tremendously talented young actress... She opposes the status quo with class and finesse...
In the last scene, when Moon Young spotted Kang Tae reading one of her children books; which by the way are very dark, very honest and very reminiscent of Tim Burton’s stories. She said... Wow... And I said... I KNOW... Even in ragtag Clothings, Kim Soo-Hyun looks breathtakingly gorgeous. It is almost annoying.
Their chemistry is so palpable in the last scene that it feels if we just reach out, we might actually touch it. Unexpectedly but pleasantly surprised, I am also getting a Hotel Del Luna’s vibe in this drama. First episode down and for a beginning so far, it is interesting. Let’s see what they have for us next...
You are right. As much as I usually enjoy watching Allen Ren’s acting. In these first 2 episodes, his lines…
Lol Better yet. Do not watch suspicious dramas while family is visiting during their vacations. Even Headphones won’t save you since the suspicious noises are coming from you and not the tv.

In a nutshell, they are just going crazy.
Just like we are getting affected by Cabin Fever...
In Fiery Priest, the same actor played a wannabe Afro-Brazilian Capoeira martial artist with the hair, the distinctive clothing and the bare feet.
However, as far as I know, there were never any mentions of controversy about that character...

I call it selective appreciation disorder.
Sometimes, we get too involved...
We forget those storylines are fictional.
2020 is the year for bad Chinese dramas and controversial/everyone-is-a-critic Korean dramas...
Seriously, what is going on with 2020...
That character does have some quirks... Or a few screws loose...

Without trying to be funny, it is just a very odd repetitive gesture.
