I reallyyyy hate this trope where the ML or FL feel like they're undeserving of love....ESPECIALLY when it's the…
it is indeed frustrating but the truth is, cdramas have a very narrow space to take creative liberties when creating angst. they obviously want to illustrate a push and pull to stir up our emotions so the union can FEEL that much better. but they can’t have male lead feel unsure, or runaway bc they’re too busy with work or they have their own dreams they want to accomplish first. all of this is seen as weak and almost impure in the eyes of the Chinese gov/censorship. so instead, they have to illustrate a strong male lead that’s plagued by his past and he himself is sacrificing his happiness in order for FL to be happy. so viewers are supposed to be left feeling awwww he’s doing what he thinks is best for herrrr. 🤷🏻♀️def an overused trope but it is what it is with these cdramas!
Btw they didn’t show what happened after that kiss. Did he kissed her back? 😜 How did he get her back to…
I think male leads rarely kiss back when FL is not all there UNLESS FL somehow directly indicated to the audience and ML that she wants him too or is 100% interested in the male lead. I think it has something to do with censorship and consent.
in LITC, she was also hallucinating but in her reverie, she was able to show us she was speaking the truth in how she feels about the male lead so HE and US know she truly loves him.
I think another example is MuMu in SAL kissing ML for the first time but he stood there like a statue not kissing back. but she went in for it AGAIN so that was likely her green light.
just my thoughts! plus it also gives fans something to look forward to! a real kiss from both sidessss ❤️
the way they're making it look when the story is on zhao and her husband makes me nervous AF. it seems like rainbows…
I skipped all their scenes. that actress has way better chemistry with ML’s bestie. not sure if producers intended it to be this way? but that story line is too draggy. I think they tried to go the mysterious route but it’s just falling flat every single time
Okay so many videos of upcoming dating era is all over my feed, which I am totally enjoying! Its just all of them…
I was already fantasizing about how their dating era would look too. I also considered the attic but it’s just too small up there. they need.. SPACE. hahaha I havent seen the videos you mentioned but OF COURSE itd be at his $$$ residence 😏
It has to do with the nuance of the language and the respect associated with addressing someone properly. I actually…
subs aren’t bad EXCEPT when they were in the VR game and he’s trotting by on his horse and she thinks, wow he actually looks pretty cool/handsome and sub actually used the word “dope” 😭😂
every time second couple comes on screen, I have zero interest. they lack chemistry and their visuals are just…
I kinda wish they’re headed towards divorce. (for the drama bc this is a drama, not in real life. I believe in love pls 🙏) but esp since they mentioned they got married right out of college. maybe they weren’t fully mature and ready yet?
