and if i say the ML has chemistry with his wife...
What chemistry is that, mutual hate and distrust? 🤣 There's nothing between them besides that. I could feel the rage so strongly, I was just waiting for her to stab him with her hairpin. He tries to catch her out and she tries to obscure what she does. They're like a crook and a police officer, akin to that old film Heat but reworked as a dysfunctional and nominal husband and wife. I doubt they've even consummated their marriage! She has more caring chemistry with her ingots than him.
Honestly, I’m getting really sick of Eastern dramas at this point. They’re full of disgusting gender stereotypes,…
I've read in the comments that the book is worse … Just seen the first episode and I'm curious as to why the men die off screen, yet the little girl and the other women's death is show very explicitly? 😕 I would've preferred to see the men die on screen too, if that's the case!
Saw albinism but was disappointed that no one with albinism was cast. I get that's it's acting but it would've been a great opportunity for an unknown that has albinism to be a learning moment for the public (they're so discriminated against), rather than someone with a white wig on their head, coloured contacts and some white mascara. Oh well!
Ok, not for me. Too dumb, tropey and FL's infantile character is annoying.
I'm reading the book and she's described as 'naïve', 'brainless' and this excerpt: 'She sat there, quiet and well-behaved, like the obedient child from next door that people talked about' and 'She didn’t look particularly smart'. Yikes!
So the cringey infantalisation is from the source material, unfortunately. I don't understand what C authors love writing FLs like this!😬
these incest illusion themes are too many. Out of all the relationships to create why is it so often a sibling…
Thanks for the warning! I agree wholeheartedly about this! Pseudo incest is inherently creepy because it romanticises taboo. I know some here see no issue with that (and many other moral failings) and will defend it like you insulted their family, but I'm personally glad others like yourself won't budge on this 🤗
Title: Homecoming/ 归途有期ML: Wang Haozhen/ 王皓祯FL: Cheng Fangtong/ 陈芳彤https://youtu.be/XryImhwk7HY?si=8IhRPDHcAGoAM_gC
Not a fan of the xenophobic lines and scenes. They set it in Paris I think it was but write lines like: 'Chinese shouldn't steal from the Chinese' and 'I don't like these foreigners' 😕 Their pairing is OK, but doesn't give me butterflies. Something in their dynamic feels … off somehow. Strange, as he's probably the nearest in age (same birth year) out of her leading men so I had higher hopes!
Dropped at episode 7 because I hate the ML so much. After helping the ex-husband cheat to protect his precious…
I didn't get as far as that! Him helping cover for the cheating and scapegoating and firing that female staff member Natalie (until the FL vouched for her) completely turned me off from continuing. I cannot root for someone so nauseating and morally bankrupt. Then he had the nerve to complain about racism was why he wouldn't get promoted, like the drama doesn't depict some of the foreign staff in a racist way! I don't love the actor but this has put me off him for good.

I'm glad to see him in more leading roles as well. First saw him in Passionate Love.
Wow. Got to disagree there as that gives an insight and introduction to that ML's morality and its a terrible one! 🙅♀️

I don't know where this sexiness has appeared from either! 😲
That Call of Duty scene in 'Country A' looked stupid AF.
Maybe check elsewhere for ratings and see how it stacks up there? I do that with films.
