This is unbearable for me. I first heard Fu Jiu's voice actor in Moonlight Mystique as Fan Yue. I grew so attached…
My biggest pet peeve with Chinese dubbing is the way they often don't get actual children to voice... children. They use an adult trying to sound like a child, and that's what it ends up sounding like: an adult trying to speak like a kid. So distracting. 😮💨
Proof that MDL ratings are not accurate or reliable. Can't believe it has the exact same rating as Reply 1988.
Reply is also 10 years old? It's crazy it has maintained that score after ten years. Truly a testament to its quality.
Lovely Runner is barely two years old. The score will drop over time. It's also a completely different genre, and many MDL users like fluffy romance dramas over action or slice of life.
spoiler question What’s eun ni power? she has two powers???
Well, she teleports (because she got exposed to the chemical in the dump), and her heart restarts because she got the heart from the Eternal Child (the only "successful" experiment in Han-Do's mind). The reason she gets his heart is because the Eternal Child gets irreversible brain damage (loses brain tissue) so even though he's not dead he can't return to normal (despite having this heart) for kind of a fluke reason. So they give Chae Ni his heart because he's basically a vegetable and she was dying from a bad heart.
This drama has a very special place in my heart but I won't watch again, the tears are enough please..
How does it feel compared to My Mister (have you seen that?)?
This is by the same screenwriter, and that is a drama I'll never watch again even though it was very good. Hard to say I enjoyed it, though. It's the kind of drama where I get why people liked it, but it wasn't my thing.
On ep 4So grandma was in on the horrible experiments? And is her maybe granddaughter the eternity one?Well all…
I'd have to rewatch to say more clearly how involved/in the know the Grandma was. She funded the experiments, but we don't really know what for (someone suggested that maybe it was because she was desperate to find a cure for Chae Ni?); I am pretty confident, though, that she didn't know quite how bad they were. I imagine she never stepped foot in the lab and didn't really know the extent of the atrocities Han Do was committing. She just thought he was using them for his experiments, like case studies? That's tricky, though, because the kids never chose to be a part of them so already that's a major issue. It's clear she's had a lot of grief and heartache over it, but it doesn't mean what she did was not a bad thing or not a big deal.
It will explain how Chae Ni comes back to life. What it doesn't explain is why she was so sickly BEFORE she came back to life. You'll see what I mean as you keep watching.
I felt the same and put that in my review on https://www.dramaaddictscorner.com/post/wonderfools. Apparently only…
I took a peek at your blog and agree about Cha Eun Woo. (This part made me laugh: "However, the master of one face still needs some work, a lot of work. The camera is a friend to Cha Eun Woo, but a friend does not an actor make." 🤣).
He always works for me, somehow (and not just because he's pretty, but because he picks roles that allow him to be some version of himself), but he does rely on his angelic face to do most of his acting for him.
I think he just always feels like Eun Woo, whether he's doing a BTS video, a scene in a drama, an interview, or reality TV (not as far as morality or choices, but in demeanor and expression) so that I can never unsee "Eun Woo" no matter what role he plays. My theory is he's too worried about looking pretty, and he hasn't let himself go (this is the exact same thing I can never do whenever I've tried to act--I'm too self-conscious to lose myself in a role. 😅 But HE is Korea's "face genius," which allows him to get away with acting murder and still get hired 😅).
It's also useless to argue with people who are confident he can very much act (and I mean, he CAN act, just not with the range I think someone landing these roles should be expected to showcase).
I really liked your comparison to JOL - absolutely accurate.Li Chun Gang was really the GOAT for his character…
Thank you! 😉
Yes, he did a good job making it dubious whose side he was really on the whole time, which added an element of suspense to his character. When the moment of truth arrived, he stuck to Fengnian like glue and stayed by his side; it made me so happy.
Having him with Fengnian the whole journey took away some of the suspense that could have been formed around Fengnian's vulnerability due to his lack of martial arts, but it was offset by not knowing who Chun Gang was really working for, and it kept you guessing if he'd ever just leave or betray Fengnian. I hadn't realized how much that undertone of ambiguity had built up tension for me in the watch (until they tried to lure him away from Fengnian, and then I was like, "Noo, don't doooo iiiitttt, Chun Gang!" I didn't realize how invested I was in him being Fengnian's trustworthy ally until that moment 😅).
