i started watching this for a third time after watching one and a half episodes of family by choice. I think just the fact that kdramas are shorter (16 episodes) vs the 30, 40, 50 episodes cdramas have, there just isnt enough time to display nuances and develop the deep relationships that really moved me in this drama. and this is solely a personal preference - nothing to do with storyline in either drama or actors or acting skill etc.
For example, one of my favorite scenes in go ahead is at the beginning when Ling Ba comes to pick up Ling Xiao. It's late at night and it's a somber-ish mood. Li Ba invites him in and says he prepared a few dishes so he can eat a late dinner. The three kids are sleeping soundly. The two men share stories of their painful past - their regrets, the duties of being an adult, and from there you just know that an unspoken decision has been made to raise the three kids together. And somehow, the heavy scene ends on a heartwarming note.
So maybe kdramas dont have time to spend on this scene because like i said, 16 episodes vs 40 episode. But for me, it's these little scenes that really give the characters depth. I didn't see that in family by choice; next scene was just them eating at the dinner table WHICH IS FINE TOO. I was just looking forward to how that scene would be executed because it just so happens to be one of my fave scenes.
starting four episode was just so so good their bickering movement was soul of the series and my expectation was…
I don’t mind love triangles. in fact, I love them. the issue for me with the ex coming back is he just unfortunately doesn’t LOOK like a worthy contender. it doesn’t matter if he’s only here for a few episodes or not. I just don’t believe in this character’s love for the female lead, seems a bit too passive for someone flying to another country to get his woman back. sigh and I’m sorry to say it but ML’s visuals are tier 1 and ex is like tier 2 or 3…. :X
It will be explained later but before that, little things will come out so you’ll kinda understand! If you want…
I see okay. I guess I just wasn’t sure if I’m supposed to be confused right now. thank you for the assurance!! no spoilers yet for me but now I know where to go if I need one. 😊 tysm!
I’m on episode 3 and I need some help. WHAT is going on??? to my understanding, she’s someone else’s bride. she was kidnapped. she’s also an assassin, or so we think bc I’m assuming the masked person was her at the beginning. he is actually the prince. she has amnesia (right? or is she faking?) he is trying to test her to see if her memory has come back. I’m not sure what anyone’s motive is at this point but I keep pushing through bc I love both of these actors. pls send help
girl don’t even worry about the haters. I love bai lu. tired of comments sections being some toxic place where people can’t have differing opinions. I feel the same about some actresses too. great actresses but I just think they rub me the wrong way, whether in variety shows or promotion events.
