Not the way I would have put it, but I have to agree that this is not a good time for non-citizens to travel to the US (although I presume her money and fame might give her some benefits not afforded to other visitors.) Unless she and her husband have no options but travel to the US, I hope someone she trusts and who is wise sits her down and talks to her about the risks of coming to the US.

Whenever I've watched a Cdrama (less often, a Kdrama) where the Emperor or King orders the murder of an alleged wrong-doers family or clan, it's struck me that this concept of "justice" is still current--like this situation, for example.

Hold people who do wrong accountable for what they do, but punishing innocent family members for the crime of being related to the wrong-doer is uncivilized and barbaric.

It is preposterous that Lee Seung Gi is publicly apologizing for the actions of an in-law.

I'm liking this more than I expected, but the scenes with the raw eggs are making me gag.

Coming to Viki as "Destiny and Saving" April 9.

Wow, kick ass cast. Really looking forward to this one.

I think the source material for this is "Dangerous Liasons", a French novel published in 1782.

Gosh, I thought only Americans produced sequels and prequels for mediocre originals.

"Yumi's Cells", #1--the storytelling wasn't all that great, but didn't we love and enjoy the animated characters in her brain?

"Yumi's Cells #2"--hey, pretty good idea, maybe, so the defects in the original story can be changed and corrected, right? Plus, those fun brain characters again. What's not to like?

"Yumi's Cells #3"-- ha, ha, no. Not falling for this again. Story will be just as unsatisfying as it was in the first two , plus the brain characters thing is done and done.

A rare Cdrama where each episode is better than the last one.

But my goodness. The crappiness of the FL's family is as bad as anything I've seen in a vertical drama,

I agree. "Cult" is a poor word choice.

"ctrauma"

Lol. Exactly. Exactly.

Alas, it's a Cdrama, and you know what that means. If you're concerned, you're better off waiting until it ends in 2 weeks or so. I don't know about the ending either, but it sure would be rotten of the show makers to write such an abused but plucky and strong character only to give her a sad ending. But like I said, Cdrama.

I seriously like the general vibe of this show--seems like gray characters, melodrama, love gone bad. Can't wait!

FL's mother scares the complete crap out of me.

He won't be recovering from this, I think.

Agree with you.

I really like youth dramas, and no one makes them better than China, but this one is pretty bland.

One of the things I really like about youth dramas is that they're endearing and wholesome, and I'm always touched by the earnestness of the characters--their problems seem so monumental--grades and the college entrance exam, first love, a bully once in a while, a vicious teacher, a crazy parent or two.

There have been some great youth dramas in the last year or two, but this one is just not doing it for me.

This is what actors like the most: huge, dramatic swings from one type of character to another requiring the actor to stretch their limits, such as moving from the autistic angel of "Extraordinary Attorney" to a villain in another drama.

Welp, you're rude and don't know how to conduct yourself in a civil society. Like most irritants, you will be forgotten as soon as you disappear. Pity.

Please forgive me for being like the language police or something, but can we please not normalize the use of the "c" word?

These mini dramas are really ramping up the smoking. So strange. You'd think that China's drama nannies would crack down on this.

But to your point: scenes where the ML is literally blowing smoke into the FL make me gag. Why do the film makers think this is remotely sexy?
