cause it's not? You might think it is, you might be fighting ghosts out here.

Also, you do know that when you compare the character personality, motivations, behavior, emotional patterns, decisions ... is it actually an opinion and not a fact anymore?

I don't know what you mean by she's playing being pretty ? like if you think I mean she feel the same in all those drama because she pretty then no. I don't mean that.

Hey, I'm still glad you can name a genre. Don't have to repeat yourself.

And yes, I pointed out a fact you did, in fact, compare her in Moving and Can This Love Be Translated? In your second reply, I think that's 2 dramas, right... Unless I can't count now, either. (Also, this is also the first time you actually did a character characterization comparison rather than naming a genre !)

The fact that she has been in different dramas that are different genres doesn't change what I say...

Weird how you say multiple dramas, but focus on 2 very specific ones now. But hey, you do you and keep trying to create nothing out of someone's opinion.

Next, I wouldn't be surprised if you start telling me what my words actually mean next!

Hey, I'm glad you can tell different genres apart. Don't have to tell me! I can too :)

It's just funny to me how I literally say it how I feel. But got two people all up in arms.

I wonder if you remember but at the very last scene of hotel de luna... there was a certain actor tease for a sequel... so maybe the hongs sister had a different male lead in mind... but umh he kinda cooked IRL.

Do you? Thanks for sharing all the roles she's been in. I know I've seen all of them.

Also, if you miss it, you do realize that what I wrote is an opinion, right?

Yes, you’re missing something if that’s your reply. Nuance is hard, but what I wrote isn’t a fact. It’s an opinion based on how the sentence is structured, if you miss that as well.

Also, real-life zombie and real-life superhero aren't character traits

Go Youn Jung is great, but it's still funny to me that all the characters she's played for the past few dramas she's been in just feel like her playing herself in different dramas.

Yeah, “chemistry” can definitely mean different things to different people. My comment was more just making fun of how silly the romance in Alchemy of Souls was. But when I talk about chemistry, these are all talented actors and actresses, so they can easily pull it off and tell a story through delivery, expressions, and timing. I just think the characterization of Jang Uk and Mu Deok is weak; they basically “use” each other to achieve their own goals. Jang Uk wants his energy unblocked, and Mu Deok wants to regain her power and become Naksu again. The romance the writers try to convey, and the reasons they fall in love, didn't feel convincing, and I personally didn’t buy it.

Looking forward to this, Shin Shi Ah was great in Resident Playbook! Hopefully, this show becomes successful like Hotel de Luna! and she can finally get more lead roles!

Also I hope they do more interesting storyline... it be a real shame if it just gender swap hotel de luna....

Dang, what a disappointment that the ML and FL relationship/romance is like the worst thing about this show. Why do they have no chemistry? The crown prince and ML have more chemistry. That bridge scene with the yin-yang bird egg was golden.

Yeah.... I dont know why but I also feel the same way. It like almost every other couple seem better. Like the funny love triangle between Maid Kim Leader Jin and Master Lee is even better.... I think the problem is Seol Yul and Mu Deok back story... their "tragic romance backstory" You know they don't get together cause Seo Yul isnt the lead, so we lowkey rooting for the underdog. It also doesn't help their story is way more compelling then the two leads.

I think you kind of sum up how I feel about it, I never seen Yiran in any of his other drama. He pull the cold calculated morally questionable character off really good! but everything else just seem like a fever dream. It like when Cai Pingshu die, everyone had a mental breakdown dealing with the grief of her passing.

I mean at this point, I wouldn't doubt that he actually plan it all for the speech on his deathbed cause he know he wasn't gonna die. (I'm kidding, but it would fit his M.O).

It like darn the FL aunt die the same way he did cause she use disintegration. But when the ML use it ofc here come a voice over dialog of why he didn't die. (this whole thing didn't happen in the novel he didn't use disintegration.)

It almost like they plan all of this to give him the speech on his deathbed to redeem his character ..... haha

I actually like the ML and how Zhou Yi Ran portray the character, I think they could have write a better way for him to "redeem himself"

your comment make me chuckle, I know what you mean when you say Cai Pingshu caught on the ML so easily. you Meant Cai Zhao, this really show that the show should be unironically call Legend of Cai Pingshu. It like when she die everyone had a mental breakdown.

Dashing Youth and Blood River share the same universe and characters; they are prequels in that sense, but not direct.

I thought it was funny to see some Blood of Youth/Blood River actors/actresses while looking at the cast... then I started to see more and more familiar faces, so I decided to count 24!

BR is not connected to TBOY, BR was born out of the author interested/love when creating Su Muyu. Someone mention in an interview with the author, it was meant to be a stand alone novel/Timeline that just happen to share the universe.

The shows are not even strictly connected, and it was never meant to be that way.

I'm also not fully aware of the novel, but even the TV drama and donghua of DY and TBOY differ from each other.

This was the most hilarious thing about the ending: it's like Oooo, you thought it wouldn't be a happy ending. It's ok, script writer is here to save the day. I'm all for a happy ending, but come on, at least put more effort into it, don't make it. By heaven, he got lucky.
