There didn't seem to be much progress in the episodes released today. Actually for the first time, I fast forwarded…
Typical, really! These longer C-dramas are usually full of filler and repetition, causing frustration. At least the shorter ones don't take as long😂 The scenes with Yuan Yuan and Mr Liu are a highlight, but I do wish she had later actually tried to read his beloved Murakami novels at the very least to see for herself why he's such an ardent fan of them. There's a reoccurring theme with some female characters being portrayed as not wanting to read and just focusing on money (through snagging rich men) which irks me. It's very shallow and limiting. Her character arch could've been richer than what it is.
The main couple doesn't do it for me either and looks fundamentally mismatched, but HH's family (besides her precocious, spoilt and classist son) is likeable, she just needs to stop lying to them and tell the truth more ...
Here's to hoping that these short length web dramas stop recycling the same plots over and over! Revenge, face swapping and tokens on the body are exhausted now! It was mediocre overall, with writing on the level of a teen fanfic. At least the ending wasn't ambiguous unlike some dramas that I've seen ...
Zhang Ke went from clingy and obsessed third wheel to a full on manipulative villain!
Wonder why they resorted to this when they could've had him move on from his unreciprocated infatuation gradually,? 💩 will hit the fan when Yuan Yuan finds out he was responsible for spreading the video. Telling how it's juxtaposed with the phone girl who's crushing on him but is being chased by a man she rebuffed. Sounds familiar?
Exactly, same outcome when one side wants children and the other doesn't. Both dramas do seem to share the same views on marriage. Yep, definitely pretend the last episode doesn't exist 😂
Entertainment writers aren't writing in a cultural vacuum, devoid of any awareness of the zeitgeist of their time.If…
As you're free to.
As I am to prefer things that reflect my value system (but that's a common thing with most, I would've thought? Everyone has their limits). I personally cannot support something sending such a warped, doormat message. The FL being single would've been better. Not the first J-drama with those issues, unfortunately ( I can think of two more that did this).
And writers produce stories that reflect their values so if I see something that has values that are like this, I would be dismayed by their ideologies and see it as 'not right' because that's the message the drama is pushing. I take the idiom: if you don't stand for something, you fall for anything to heart.
Maybe the issue is more with the manga, but they're free to change things when transposed to the screen? I'm yet to finish it and I found it frustrating so there it is.
To each their own and agreed to disagree as this discussion will go in circles longer than this disappointing drama! 😂
🤣Even if you're single, some can still see that their relationship was unbalanced, unhealthy and passionless. Haven't hated an ending this much since Soredemo Ai wo Chikaimasu ka? (2021)!
NONE of the main couples kissed, actually IIRC ... odd.
When you watch more and notice it being ubiquitous, it'll start to become like grating deja vu.
Hope this C-drama doesn't follow suit!
Do you understand Mandarin, btw?
And why did they translate it incorrectly?

They're similar (some actresses in it have since gone on to bigger dramas) and both series share the same main actress.
Interesting that a man witnesses this sexism as well! 👏
