Wow, thanks for these!! I sure added a lot to my plan to watch lists (and my no subs anywhere list lol). Some of these actors I'd never heard of, some others I knew from minor roles (since I started watching Chinese dramas only recently), but I really do agree with you about the male actors in the past, or recent past, that they have this rougher, manlier, handsome quality that many today's actors are lacking -- though it all goes down to personal taste after all! Just a minor thing, something I found weird with this article, how come all the links to drama information are to wiki.d-addicts's entries instead of our MyDramaList's? :/
Ok I'll admit I literally laughed out loud as soon as I saw this article's title in front page today!!!! XD And then I saw XingBack wrote it :'D I was certain it would be a meta writing piece reflecting on the recent MDL cult craze!!!!!! LMAO!!!!! Well, it wasn't, exactly!! You did a great job, especially with the pictures/gifs!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3
Now the nerd in me wish there was someone who did a serious qualitative methods analysis in the social perception on men with beards in SE Asian countries' popular culture!! :D
In my opinion, Cheng Xiao improves as the drama progresses. Give her scenes a chance, she's seriously so pretty…
I personally don't have any problem with her acting in general, she's not perfect, but nothing deserving so much hate!! But I really don't like her resting b!tch face, I don't know if this is her character/a directional choice, or she's just one of those unlucky people... But I can get past this.
But anyway, I feel almost anyone casted opposite Arthur Chen would be nitpicked at this point -- I mean the guy is so charismatic, so expressive, so charming & talented, that any love interest of his character would be deemed lacking..
The drama is coming to Viki. There is no channel manager yet and a date for premiere has not been announced. https://www.viki.com/tv/37126c-love-is-all
Thanks! I said request for it to become available in my region.
Just watched the trailer, I'm very excited for this drama!! (Btw, first time I saw an English language song in a Chinese series, that was weird but good!)
I think I've seen this movie many years ago, but I'm not sure!! Was there a guy dressed in a black feather suit or something in it? If it is, I remember loving it, but I was way too young, so I wanna rewatch it for sure!!
I also fell in love with Sato Takeru in Rurouni Kenshin!! And I plan to watch him in a drama soon, cause I want more of him lol (but I don't think it'll be Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo since I'm not into rom-coms, and even less into medical stuff)!
A new beautiful WangXian fmv I came across today: https://youtu.be/Zsh-PHMn2JM The explanation of their love journey…
By Solariene in YT:
"For this video I chose to show their feelings and insecurities that we can see through the drama and novel. I also used some new scenes from the special edition :)
Meaning of the video :
I decided to split the video in two POV. It really fits the lyrics and I hope I succeeded to give the meaning I wanted to. The video begins with WWX's POV torned with his feelings and desire for LWJ. He thinks that LWJ doesn't really like him and doesn't return his love. He is also afraid of LWJ leaving him. So he doesn't want to fall in love with him. Then the POV changed with the soulmate's scene. We understand that the love is mutual. With LWJ's POV we see that LWJ doesn't want to fall for WWX because he thinks that it's only a game for him, he just likes to tease him. The second reason why he doesn't want to fall in love with WWX is that he is terrified at the idea of losing him.
Their greatest fear is losing each other.
The video ends with them together, the two POV reunited."
A new beautiful WangXian fmv I came across today: https://youtu.be/Zsh-PHMn2JM The explanation of their love journey in the video description is also absolutely beautiful (copied in a spoiler reply comment bellow)!!
I watched this one when I was 13-14 years old. I remember I was bored to death at the time, and also found this too depressing, but I guess I was too young for a slice of life story. Maybe I should rewatch this one of these days...
