Recently I have been noticing how there must be some type of agenda that occurs on daily basis. I think many users…
When I was first reading the novel my thoughts were like, two neuro divergent introverts fall in love. They both gave neuro spicy at times because of how focused they could be in one aspect of their life and completely oblivious in others.
This person has no life and has been making multiple comments a day similar to this one just to have engagement and something to do. best to just block and ignore at this point.
Interesting comments. I can't see it. But character-wise yes similar to Flourished Peony character. Someone I…
I can see the Hui Yutian similarity, but it's been so long since I watched Deng Lun I can't really say one way or another. It's more in the way he speaks(not sound but movement) they do a similar scoff lip curl thing...him and miles, and when Jerome does that and tilts his head down.
Okay, even though I like the side couple....this does not belong in this show at all imo. Call me a hater, but I just am not a fan of side stories when they don't exist in the original source material. It's the fastest way to mess up the authors intent of the overall story. If it was it's own show or in a show I had no clue about the original story I would enjoy them more. But right now, all they do is take up space that could be focused on other things, mainly the lead characters. Or ya know production could have made it 26 episodes and kept the focus on the actual story. The story is sad enough without another dying grandpa and an angsty orphan.
EDIT: to be very clear before I get jumped. I like the actors, and have no issues with their performances. I have beef with the script writer and production.
Jerome Deng looks so much like Mile Wei that I had t o look him up to see if they were siblings. Nope. Just the styling in this particular show paired with the last role I saw Miles in was a Flourished Peony and they have similar character vibes in these dramas. But in all seriousness they could easily play siblings, cousins or uncle/nephew and I would 100% believe it.
Honestly, give me a chubby baby at the end of a long drama and I'll be pleased as punch. We have achieved not only chubby baby status, and not one, but TWO older siblings. Safe to say this was a well done and well deserved Happily Ever After.
I honestly think it's because a lot of Kdramas ended up adopting more Western drama structure(multi season, mini-series…
There is still somewhat of a separation form dramas(focusing on adult stories aka actors in their 30s and above) and idol dramas(focusing on youth storylines actors early 30s at the eldest) There are newer young actors, but because of the entertainment system in Korea it's harder for new talent to get leading roles. The larger budget projects right now are relying heavily on the previous child actor generation who have stepped into adulthood(early to mid twenties) It's also a much small population so you will have the same people working on projects regularly with smaller variation.
With Chinese dramas you have prestige dramas filled with a variety of ages in lead roles, but all talented. Then you have your idol dramas and your idol web drama actors. I think about it like the difference between sports team levels...club ball(short form web), minors(idol dramas), majors(prestige/veteran dramas). If you're American, think CW/Freeform, ABC, HBO/Showtime/Starz. Streaming in America has changed that structure enough that I think that will only make sense if you were born in the 90s at the latest.
The short, and idol dramas have an extremely large pool of young talent coming out of art high schools and university programs in major cities in China, that constantly gets replenished with newer and younger talent. Not to mention street casting and pulling from the model/pop idol pool as well. There is a transition once the lead idol actor reaches a certain age where they are more likely to focus on prestige dramas rather than the glitz and glam(and chaos) of idol dramas. Bai Lu is one such actress who is hoping to transition out of idol dramas on a more permanent basis. Leo Wei as well, is someone who goes in and out of the idol and prestige level dramas and wants to focus on the latter.
Chinese dramas are gradually surpassing K-dramas in popularity ð
I honestly think it's because a lot of Kdramas ended up adopting more Western drama structure(multi season, mini-series aka no more than 12 episodes, a lot only have 8) as well as themes(hyper sexualized, dark phycological, dystopian).
Previously the most internationally popular kdramas fall under the "idol drama" category. A lot of people enjoy idol dramas, specifically, for the escapism it allows from one's everyday life.
In recent years I noticed a larger shift to realism in a lot of Kdramas, more so with the ones co-produced by companies like Netflix, Apple and even Disney+. So the shift away from idol drama focused content toward more gritty or sad themed shows in Kdrama land left a very large hole to fill for those seeking lighter HEA/HE style shows.
As an aside, it's also nice to know that I'm not going to see something x rated on accident in the middle of crime/suspense show, or romance drama. Looking at you A Killer Paradox...looking at you. (in my defense I was expecting blood and gore not a kmovie/hbo level sex scene.) Not to sound like a pearl clutcher, but there is comfort in those TV-14 kind of love stories that hit different from a TV-MA love story.
2days until we meet Doctor He SuYe. Line up y'all free heart checkup ðĪŠâĪïļ
They better drop a lot of episodes at the front because the 27th is a holiday so I wouldn't image them releasing a new episode on that day. Just a heads up for those who don't know.

https://mydramalist.com/photos/JBAVoJ_3 The link to this week's schedule for those who haven't seen it and are wondering what they are talking about. Also I believe it lists the OST drops as well as the bottom.

Am I weird to think it's weird to recommend shows with tragic endings with completely different plots in a HEA modern romance?
