AnotherSeason

i have such a hard time with the costume of this season because they remind me of japan - too much cognitive dissonance. i keep getting 19th C samurai/ronin vibes. even the hairstyles remind me of that time period.

spoiler tag.

spoiler tag please

huh?

i'm basically saying that, from my observation, chinese stories are more the inspiration that harry potter.

not quite he same as what i'm talking about. also, the same is found in the condor series where but the master-pupil relationship is condemned there.

look to chinese web novels of overpowered male characters who start off weak as the inspiration for aos.

i am super annoyed that i gave so many hours to this. i can't believe that I got to the end and was like so all this misery was caused by an irresponsible spouse who did not communicate with her partner and ran off in the middle of the night. what a poor excuse for a plot.

dude, are you spamming my comment? i stand by what i wrote.

This drama does not deserve it's rating. It's awfully directed and feels gimmicky especially on the part of the lead role.

it's been a while since i've come across a character that irritates me to no end -- i kept having the image of flushing the mc down the toilet that's how much he made my blood boil. he is so selfish and self-centered, knows that he is, and still behaves the same way that the whole time i thought that he wasn't mature enough to be in any relationship at all. i really hoped for some character arc but nope, he was trash to the end. the ml was a total doormat, especially for the mc. sorry to you all who are tooting this drama, but these were both needed to grow up for university students.

Let's not forget Nus' mother. Perhaps the worst of them all as she is a silent observer of her daughter abuse even as she sides with the oppressor in the family.

As I watched this (ep 8), I kept telling the characters to use their words. This is what I tell 3-6-year-olds in the classroom and on the playground. Wow, I totally agree with most of the reviewers. This one was troubesome.

Wow. I came here to write how awful this show was. Then I saw that so many thought the start was great but didn't like it later. Hmm... I skipped through the first episode because I could tell what was happening just by doing that and knew then that it wasn't good storytelling. I then got to the second episode and saw the female lead (her acting especially is ick), her family, and seemingly everyone else's acceptance that power and money give licence to the rich to do what they want. It just made me want to barf. End of story.

This is a good show and I am epidsode 11 of 24. Yet, for a show that is supposed to be women-centric, I resent that the production shows the men a few bad apples but overall doesn't address the issue of gender inequality. like all the women are resigned to hopelessness. the idea that women have it hard but bad people should not deter from good people was off-putting. These are two different issues. Women have it hard is not addressed and one woman speaking to another was essentially silently encouraging resignation and acceptance toward this as a fact of reality; as something that should not and cannot be changed. Still, it is wise counsel though to not let bad experience turn us off from the good and we can strive for that.

Ya'll, doesn't the description seem contradictory?

Glad to see an age-gap drama and I look forward to it.

I just meant I'm tired of seeing any shows that show "women's strength/capacity" just focusing on the upper class or gaining access to the upper class. I find this problematic in a lot of ways and no matter how benevolent they still held power over other women compared to the scores of other disadvantaged women living in that society. How does having power over others equate to freedom from oppression?

Thanks LC.

Can someone explain how the mother could go and adopt one of the twins without either of the sisters knowing ahead of time? This seems too far fetched to me. It's episode 6 and they haven't addressed it.
