I can't believe I am writing this. You know how there are a lot of Cdramas? And some actors really can't act. And some are too thin or have narrow shoulders? Or some obviously bad plastic surgery? That sort of dramas but mostly bad acting.

I am now getting whiplash. I didn't follow any news pre- filming to avoid spoilers.

Some of the other characters are actors who have done main leads. How did the casting director get all of them?

I hope the novel or script has good
storylines for them. Between Wu
Wei, Jiang Yang and her brother and the other guy I am wondering how they managed to get all bar 1 strapping big and tall actors all in one drama. That's why I said I hope they have good written storylines for them because shallow me is appreciating the eye candy galore here. And don't want a bad guy. I usually will fast forward uninteresting side plots but now I am not because I am too busy wondering where I have seen them before. Then going " ooohhh he looks so good " before I can really focus on the scene.

To be specific I hate having a good script spoilt by bad acting. Then by mismatched casting. Then bad plastic surgery. I don't know how many people recongnise those who have had double eyelid surgery or the canthoplasty surgery but I do. Or those with the extreme jaw or shaping surgery. I can accept the nose surgery provided its good but sometimes the over- zealous use of these procedures distract me from the acting or can be blamed for a stiff face.

So yeah that's why I noticed the looks for the main supporting characters. Was the director trying to match them? Line those 6 guys in a row and boy all the Cdrama- land's college girls would all just faint.

You guys... now you've got me stuck thinking she looks young and he looks like he is pursuing a high schooler. I saw the preview and I don't even want them together now. The writing is too childish- well in the preview anyway.

I just started episode 2. I can see that I am not going to be much of a viewer. All I've done is coo over 2 of the beautiful people on the screen.

Wu Lei looking intense is just too much for an old lady like me.

I last saw Zhou Jin Mai in " A little thing called love. " How did they manage to make her so ugly there and she is just luminous here?

Is the little brother known as a Song Joongki look-alike? I swear the hair, smile, profile and voice is like a doppelanger for him. He hasn't had any plastic surgery has he? He just looks like him?

Once I get over this might even be able to concentrate on the plot. They just look beautiful on screen. To have a same age pairing and who can act. OMG that is too rare. Now let's pray the writing is good.

Really? In my field we have to have a post graduate degree post bachelors to work so that's 7yrs. Then specialist training where you then get a double Masters if you wish. But the PhD is the hard part because of the research.

Han's will be a computer science background and engineering I presume. A double PhD in Stanford one of the leading private universities in the US. The fees will be expensive . Yes I know its a drama.

Man I must be in the wrong field when others can have a double doctorate with such ease. A double degree or a double Masters is easier to obtain. A lot of people can't afford the time spent on PhD unless you're an academic or in a specialist field. We all pay our own fees and not the parents.

Decisions decisions. I have just watched the previews for ep 13 and 14 and have not watched ep 11 and 12.

I am wondering if I might be skipping tonight's episodes until issues are sorted. I really though the emoticons on the airing scheduled was correct.

The term for people who have a diminished capacity are usually from an acquired brain injury- be it from trauma or another reason.

Anyone else can correct my teminology if you like as I only use the congenital or delivey related complications ie hypoxia/oxygen supply cut off vs acquired.

Your teminology is outdated. Its also demeaning and not socially acceptable and discriminatory against anyone with an intellectual disability.

Its called EQ. The FL is lacking confidence. I can even she lacks EQ as she is a singer and has many fans. I would put it down as her lacking confidence and has some low self- esteem. However she is not what you're staying she is.

I am not even someone who steps forward to call people out but your tone in those comments? Really not on.

And by the way, the writer thought the female character is worthy for the male lead.

I am not saying the drama is fantastic but then a lot of Cdramas are not but don't insult people who through no fault of their own since it can be congenital to be born with an intellectual disability. The " r " you used is the one that is insulting.

I just saw the preview. Oooohhh... episode 11 and 12 are going to be angsty.

I can't work out why I like the actress. I think its because her voice is emotive. The lip synching parts were atrocious but the other normal speaking voices part is fine. In fact I think I might wander past to her completed drama where she actually gets the guy.

She has a degree or a degree in childhood education. Or pre- school I think.

I can't even work out how a Weibo singer has got to do with robotics.

Its like a random job choice. So who knows.

Unless they write him falling for Adai then Hao Liang. Then that would just be poor writing.

I am currently obsessively thinking disparagingly about the double-PhD Han guy. For some reason all the Cdramaland throwing around PhDs from famous universities kinda pisses me off considering how hard it is to get one PhD
Whether you're a genius or not. A double PhD who parties and is socially savvy as well? Not in real life. At least not before 30 years old. I am in the science field. There is no way in real life you can publish that many researchs or do 2 dissertations all at or before 30 years old.

Oh crap. Thats bad because I think I might be guilty of that. Or rather half my colleagues might be guilty of that. We are a large department and multiculturally diverse. I can recognise my own culturally similar face but on the other hand have difficulty with my other colleagues. Especially if they are young, same height and hairstyle. Groan.

Oh thats so bad. Now I feel bad.

I didn't even know this was on.

I am on 1 Kdrama and picking up 3.

And started My Special Girl and thinking of starting Amidst a snowstorm of love.

If you think the story is coherent then won't mind starting. Otherwise would just watch episode 36. These stories have a habit of disastrous endings with the main leads dying.

Thank you. Only one of the 6 dramas I am on or starting will have a bad ending. I am expecting a bad ending for the Love Song For Illusion. The leads are young, the medical aspects are always going to be badly written and a Crown Prince as a designer is just too fusion.

So this has a female general and they almost always suffer or die. The other male lead is younger and I don't particularly like him. However and a big however I like the synopsis. I also don't know the female lead and the other male actor but his credentials looks good.

Thanks.

And thank goodness ep 9- 10 is on tonight since he obviously said something to make her so upset.

I would admit though that bun tieing in the restaurant was one of the funniest things I've seen on a Kdrama. It could be real unless the actor does know how to tie a woman's hair. If I was a customer in a restaurant watching I would be dying from laughter. Her hair was so messy it couldn't even that messed up with a stylist's help.

I just can't work out how he is written as particularly inept when the writer made him so clever. Cdrama- land is full of geniuses but they can sometimes be written better. It doest come off being cute but questionable for a guy over 30 years old. Does any campus heartthrob in China stay so innocent? There are some pretty aggressive pursuits in real life and drama- land.

Hahaha. There can be dramas and then badly written " dramas. "

This is one of the better written ones. Ojakyo brothers and My daughter Seoyoung remains one of my favourite dramas to rewatch certain scenes. Then the other one with Lee Joon. Those were angst done right.

The others? Useless trash for the sake of writing trash. Daily dramas are ones which can kill you. Those 160+ episode ones.

I will watch this but the writing is poor. I can't even work out at this point why or when the male lead likes the girl.

Did they have to make her that stupid if she is graduating. I swear I had the math questions in high school. Was I 16? Yeah these questions were when I was in high school.

The double PhDs in Cdramas drives me bonkers because I know how hard it is to get a PhD in my field and associated fields.

However I like the male lead so will try to plod through. The female lead can act but she needs to stop getting type cast into these ingenue roles. Is she like 40kg or something?

I did drop some Cdramas lately with leads I liked because of idiotic writing so we will see. The editing or scene transitions are pretty choppy too.

My other 3 dramas are full of angst so I guess its good to have a fluff drama. However an AI company with only 1 programmer? And that OTT party? Or company dinners? I am stil trying to recover from the welcome dinner. Was it meant to be funny? Even the game is normally considered sexual harrassment by the superior rather than excitingly thrlling and heart pounding.

The major bonus is that it finishes next week and I have a few days of gore and blood training at work. So this counteracts it. I mean I am assisting in it not the ones getting tested.

And so? No need to swear and get so worked up. There are a ton of Cdramas around.

Lol.
Look if you have nothing you urgently want to watch you can continue. The 3 colleague Wu Jun alone is enough for me to recommend this to you.

I won't spoil it for you. I am going back to ep 6 of The Interpreter now. I started it a few days ago despite all the complaints and whining. And the lower ratings. I find that drama more to my taste. Unlike some others I don't find the male lead attractive; its just my taste. However I am staying or stayed because of his acting abilities because his character is the typical arrogant male then he becomes the total opposite. I'm blaming the writer. I am actually watching The Interpreter because of Victoria Song and its one of the main criticism of that drama. However I have zero issues with the FL at present. So don't take my taste into account.

Apparently this FL can act but can't kiss according to the others. I wouldn't know however the permed hair and that smile drove me crazy the whole drama.

Done. I'm still at ep 10 on the viki subs but I don't think it is rewatchable.

As a romance drama it will do but the ending was lame for a 36 episode drama.

The FL spent the whole drama just doing the pseudo- mysterious smile. The plot was a bit cliched and the 180 degree personality transplant from the ML was too much for me.

However the positive were the 3 colleagues and Wu Jun. They were brilliant.
Ep 31- 35 was obviously better executed but the jealousy part was
overdone. Pettiness is not attractive.

There were some good moments but the male lead was only allowed to do some. And what is the issue with kissing ? It was so statue- like all the time. And Wu Jun's, 360 degree spin class so old- school.

It would be. The writers did not research enough.

By the way I actually used to study Arabic in secondary school but I had forgotten it from lack of practice. However I used to volunteer at viki and managed the Arabic translation team sometimes. And a few other languages- I speak several. The point is that I have had enough feedback from other languages from foreign language translators that mistakes are made in their languages. I do not think that writers research well enough. My specialty were medical dramas and we also found mistakes in either medication dosages or facts. The actors literally said the wrong things.

All these are the writer's faults by the way.

The languages I had feedback from all those used in dramas included French, Spanish and German. I really did have emails with a lot of people including those doing the East Europeam languages. So I had a lot of exposure. I was one of the very active team managers

Chinese drama writers don't research that meticulously and yeah it's pretty darn embarrassing its that obvious.

I have been laughing at the whole A1 app. It has obviously not reach that stage in real life. I have Middle Eastern colleagues at work and I am probably one of the very few people who bother to distinguish between the countries and dialect groups when we are looking for translators.

Anyway sorry for the digression. I am now going to watch ep 30- 36 since it dropped. I can't be bothered waiting for the good subs. The kisshn subs are nonsensical anyway

,

I am still ep 6. Then when to ep 18 and 19 to see if I want to continue. I actually do. Especially since I stated from ep 25- 27.

I wanted to make sure this drama was worth watching. I am not interested in the currently airing historical dramas.
