If you're interested, I started a Vertically Filmed Actresses List and a Vertically Filmed Actors List to help…
I’m in love with these short dramas. I watch them on YouTube. But I guess I’m not up to date with some things. This may be a dumb question but what is Vertically filmed? “Short series” does explain itself but why are they called Vertically filmed? What does that mean?
Not bad but they sure know how to ruin a drama, (either good drama or one barely hanging by a thread) with the last few episodes. Those episodes are always the worst, especially with these short dramas. They cringy, extra and just nonsensical. Fell in love with this female lead, didn’t know her and now I’m off to watch some of her other staff. Dai Gao Zheng sure knows how to deliver with the kissing as usual. Love him, but his showing emotion acting needs a bit of work.
One of the most satisfying ending/last two episodes of drama I have seen, nothing rushed just beautiful. It was a decent watch bit frustrating at time but enjoyable nonetheless
On episode 22 and I don’t know why I always forget because it always frustrates me when I see it even though it’s the norm, that in C-dramas, speaking the truth and communication is not part of their core values in relationships. I forget that in C-dramas when you love someone you lie to them and you don’t communicate with them, you hide things from them. What frustrating foolishness
This drama is very mellow, slow burn slice of life, I get why some people can find it boring, but for me it’s one of my favourites and I’ve watched it a couple of times, just love it
ML is cute, stuck through this only for him (shallow I know). It’s a decent watch a bit silly on the scheming side or those who are doing the scheming. Love the ML. On to his other short dramas
I think it’s tempting because it’s an easy or quick way to get power, not because it’s more powerful, or I don’t think it should be made more powerful, that’s just my personal opinion though
Like you said??? And who are you? There’s nothing wrong with it because you’re saying so??? Like I said “personally” “for me” meaning that’s my personal opinion and how I felt while I was watching those two episodes and I’m entitled to that opinion and how it made me feel, that’s my experience and the feelings it’s stirred while watching, ain’t nobody’s gonna dictate to me otherwise
It’s not a problem, but for me it’s just a bit frustrating because they made it seem like both leads are clever strategists—so I expected some back and forth or at least some balance. But so far, it feels like the FL always comes out on top, and the ML just keeps flopping. It makes him seem less competent, like he’s constantly being outplayed. I don’t mind her having the upper hand (I love strong, smart FLs and I do like her character), but when it’s this one-sided (at least for these first two episodes) it kind of takes the tension out of their dynamic. It would’ve been nice to see him get a win too. Not the end of the world, but yeah, personally, I find it a bit annoying when it’s just one-sided
I mean since in the description it states “their clever strategies” meaning they both had clever strategies, a balance showing him at least getting an upper hand as well would be nice. It’s like watching a lead who is meant to be strong being beaten all the time, that, personally for me (in the context of being invested in the characters or drama) frustrates me. I understand they both leads but just balance it, even if it’s just a bit but then again I was only on episode two.
