Yes I agree with you. Sometimes I see a scene with the main leads that is considered toxic though there is no tag in the drama that one lead is mean/possessive/obsessive. It seems like the behavior is taken as romantic.

yeah... but I think she's pregnant with another guy

Yeah, the hard thing working straight onto the MDL link is you may accidentally submit for approval instead of saving the article, the buttons are right next to each other. Yeah, go ahead I can look into your Googe docs ;D

You still working on Google docs? They don't give you the MDL link to work on your articles?

dooh! why not did plan for a better ending since the beginning anyways?

After did some reading I just realized that the Kdrama is a spin-off from the manhwa lol, completely different story. It'll be hard to pick C actors to match the Kdrama actors as the Kdrama characterizations are different than the manhwa. What you can do is pick the character traits then find an actor who played similar character in xianxia. So in character pictures you will compare the pics of what the character looks like in manhwa, next is the actor with regular clothes, next is his/her role in certain costume drama that depicts similar trait or appearance.
I give you an example. For Habaek, you maybe want to pick Xu Kai. So you put the Habaek manhwa pic on the left, then Xu Kai in the middle, then on the right his poster pic in The Legends. Actually his role in The Legends is a nice/calm/kind-hearted ML, but in the cast poster pic he can be seen as handsome, dark, temperamental god. You can just say: "though in the Legends his character is a kind-hearted guy, but I can picture Xu Kai plays as handsome, dark, temperamental god in BotWG"
Here's the pic I'm talking about:

I know right! The last episode they tried to put everything in to make closures with all characters, probably should've been 2 episodes. But it seems nowadays in dramas quite common with rushed endings, probably due to the pandemic they have to finish filming quickly.

For the Harry Potter remake: I know right! Even the writer added some self-made beard for the Japanese ones who casted as Dumbledore and Hagrid, it was so hilarious!!1
For BoH: Yeah I heard that people complain about the drama. It has been in my PTW for a while but since it's not a 2020 or 2021 drama I don't put as priority. Should I watch it first to see the characterization? Or it doesn't completely follow the manhwa? Give me the link for the manhwa then ;D

thank you, and looking forward for your upcoming articles as well!

Since there is already The Bride of Habaek with Korean cast, if you want to make it xianxia better use Chinese cast entirely. Say your title can be "If 'Bride of Water God' Be Made a Xianxia C-Drama". Unfortunately I haven't seen the Bride of Habaek neither read the manhwa to cast anyone. Why don't cast actors that close to the drawing character or even the Korean actors? Or the characteristics of the characters? With C actors in historical drama costume.

There are two past articles that I love a lot but didn't put them in this series due to topics like this are not unique: What If [X country series] Is Made to [Y country drama]. But these 2 articles are Harry Potter with Japanese and Korean remakes and dang the resemblance are so hilarious. The writer is observant enough to detect the similarities though Harry Potter cast are European looking and picked Asian cast!

Mind you though, these articles are written way back then in 2012-2013, so the chosen cast are already adults now.

Which spreadsheet the editor talked about?
For your second article, are you gonna 'cast' the xianxia?

That's because probably I am with Chrissy Anne are the only ones who announcing what we do, but others just go straight to the editors or even just submit the articles without telling us ;D. Cos I also saw other articles that are not in the MDL article topic thread.
Probably for Miles Wei article you can put screenshots/GIFs with his roles in dramas, particularly the ones that show his acting skills (for ex: facial expressions).
For Bride of the Water God manhwa: don't they already finish it? Isn't that Kdrama is based on that? Or is this another one?

The Koreans are so sensitive lately....

I agree with your suggestion, honestly I will just watch it for Song Joong Ki and Oc Taec Yeon, if I like the ending (I only watch when it's completely subbed for binging). No pre-hopes or overhyping. Regarding the rest (story, twist, action, cinematography etc etc) it will reveal in my rating later.

First of all, I don't know about the speed/swift part, lol. This series have been prepared since last October! What are you writing for your second editorial? Perhaps I can help ;D

Yeah you're right! The article is made way back then in 2013! Someone needs to make another article like that, also with Cdramas where they are good martial arts action.

I think you also need to contact an editor for an advice (Ceki will do since she's an editor and also wrote an interview article), because MDL may have some restrictions. For example if you want to interview a subber. Although there is an article interviewing a Japanese-English fan subber, in fact it was written by Admin Skye himself, but now MDL is careful with unofficial sites. Last time when I wrote recap article for Perfect and Casual I put a link of the initial fansubber's website who subbed the drama, but it was deleted when the article is published, since it was not the official site where to watch (which is a paid subsription).

lol... now that you mentioned it, I think your statement make sense... in reality we won't do dead fish or stiff board kisses, lol

The second interview article link is written by Ceki who is also a MDL editor. Maybe you can ask her opinion from her POV as an editor POV. The first interview article link is written by real_Mokona who has made articles using survey questions. Maybe she can share sources where to get questions. Ankita who wrote this article has given me her consent, but she's not active everyday in MDL, may take sometime for her to reply.
