Acanthus

I already guessed Hyungyu will be the winner before the start of the finals with how much they kept emphasing about Sohee not feeling well. And I fell asleep like halfway through the final episode.

I honestly find both seasons of TDP underwhelming compared to other game survival shows. Many of the games are too complicated for me to follow on normal watching speed. I also can't shake off suspicions of the show being rigged because some contestants' actions defy logic.

That's nice, I'll be heading to Chongqing later this year too. All the best for your trip, hope you have fun!

Thanks! Wow, which city or cities are you going to?

I want to visit Hengdian someday once I get more comfortable with China's payment and reservation apps. I only started travelling to mainland China (Beijing) last year, previously only went to Hong Kong and Macau and that was years back. Hengdian sounds complicated to travel to, with train transfers and all, but I'm definitely going to get there one day and see all the beautiful sets.

It's like workplace politics. Useless bosses taking all the credit for themselves and kicking the competent employees out.

I'm guessing the story is set in a fictional timeline similar to the Warring States Period. The wedding rituals look similar to those in dramas depicting that period.

Could say the same for you too. Do something useful rather than asking silly questions about whether there's kisses in a drama.

Loving it so far, the first few episodes got me hooked already!

LOL at being desperate for kisses on TV. 🙄 Are you that thirsty?

He should be. There's one episode where there's an auntie helper making his breakfast for him. Don't think ordinary folks can afford to do so.

Now now, don't be emotional.

I don't see anything emotional with @rin. Don't gaslight people.

It is also the job of the adult to keep themselves in check and not make advances on minors.

I guessed wrong, I initially thought the FL is Il Do's daughter.

This drama reminds me a little of those old Hong Kong sitcoms like Virtues of Harmony, I do enjoy Perfect Match so far.

Weibo Awards is practically like a birthday party for Sina where celebrities have to "give face" to Sina and attend, otherwise they may be given a few negative hot searches LOL. Sina bags the cash by selling event tickets, generating tons of traffic from various hot topics such as which actor has higher status than another actor because they walked the red carpet later or sat further in the front and middle etc etc.

Candle in the Tomb.

Oh really? I didn't know there's a rule saying we can only ask on original threads, isn't this a normal comment box where everyone's free to post? You put me on the same table as the "account well-known as a tool for Chinese superiority propaganda", if that isn't implying I'm taking the same stance of claiming costumes were copied then what is it? Dismissive and condescending? Is my reply to Ackery dismissive and condescending? No. Because he/she wasn't rude in the first place. If anything, it seems like that you just want to deviate my thread into topics unrelated to my original question. Go pick a fight elsewhere.

No, you didn't. I'm asking both sides to show evidence to prove their claims of copying and not copying so as to end the debate. When did I claim the costumes were copied? And ChatGPT won't end any debates unless people copy-paste the search results here. In debates, do you see debaters telling the observers to use ChatGPT? Anyway, I'm not the one being all prickly and rude first here.

🙄 Read better.
