ShortCircuit

You have a 31-long list of currently watching dramas, and a 536-long list of planning to watch dramas. Stick to any one of them till the end and then come back for more recs. You're welcome.

SY's wages are just 5000 per month, and he's a graphic designer. Imagine how low his father's pay could be, since he's a street cleaner. 3000 must be a huge sum for him, poor guy.

...Then again, he really REALLY doesn't get how women think. I would've done worse than her, had he done what he did, to me, LOL.

(ep8) WOW she's good at her work! (Fast, prepared, intuitive too. No wonder she's certain of herself).

Also, the way he prepared that breakfast, LOL, it was like SHE was shooting a commercial about making breakfast hahaha :D

Doing the same. They didn't even release the full airing schedule, I've been burned before by long pauses inbetween eps, I've learned my lesson. I want to take my time watching this when all the eps are available :D

The best thing I can say about this drama is - well, at least it's over.

That may be so. I have no wish to start an argument over this - or any other topics unrelated to the drama. If you want me to say I'm wrong on this, I'll say it and that's that. The rest of my arguments regarding what OP said stand.

But MJS decided to heal HanEul, and the demon was obviously against it (they were fighting it out, letting HanEul escape). So if MJS's soul is still human, he wouldn't have powers, but if he's a demon - with HPG in ascendance - he wouldn't do it anyway. Still doesn't make logical sense to me. But it's a fantasy drama anyway so I guess I'll just let be.

The rating is always low on a XZ drama in MDL. Don't be surprised. It's expected.

This is not a rom-com, IMHO, and so far they're not even involved yet. So why would they rule the screen? Also, it's aired on CCTV and that means a "fair" share or time has to be given to more mature/settled actors that "anchor" the story (that is, Director Xue, the parents, etc). Them's the rules for CCTV dramas. Anyway.

The drama has 36 eps, there's plenty of time for faster plots and plenty of time for character development. Myself, I quite like the pace. I mean, what use a new romance if she's ready to toss out a 10-year marriage in a day or so? People don't make that switch so fast. And I also like how the actual adults ARE thinking in adult terms, instead of reacting childishly or allowing themselves to be twisted easily by a show of self-pity or guilting from anyone else.

I guess it's a matter of who's watching and their personal experience to put themselves in place of the characters.

As for the boss... I think everybody knows SY's carrying the load there. And I don't think it would be different in any other company, there's always the manager to can kiss a** and move higher based on the work of non-a** kissing people. But if there's any morale... he'll get righted sometime.

I get this need to put this pretty old Scorpions song in here, just because suddenly I'm missing TTJ...

(This is Still Loving You, no rick-rolling, I promise).

>>he's approaching her like a shameless freak

I was trying to tell you he's not approaching her like she's his target of romance. He's just trying to keep a connection alive.

Then again, it's all in the eye of the beholder so whatever.

MJS saving HanEul doesn't make sense. It would make sense if HPG did it, since he absorbed the power of healing that Gelly stole from the Chinese Counter, but since when did MJS's demon know to heal?!

SoMoon: "I'll fight him aaaaall by myself."
Proceeds to get immediately taken down by the evil spirit. Oh-kay?...

MoTak: I put the full clip into him, now I'll just go get my machine gun and do it all over again.
Because it obviously worked so well the first time around.

*sigh*

The instant the wedding invite came out, so did the red flag LOL. Also, grand standing, grand standing as far as the eye can see hahaha.

(ep7) LOL, there's a cold war brewing in the Sheng family.

... Eps pass by too fast, and now we wait.

He's not involved in the divorce in any way, he's not trying to seduce her. She's his inspiration for his career, he doesn't really realize she maybe doesn't recognize him since 10 years back (though she might, she has a memory like a steel trap already, LOL, she even remembers what she said and did when black-out drunk). Even if he's idealizing her as maybe romantic interest, for now it's just infatuation at most and admiration for her work as a director, and the interest that comes from having passively looked for her for years.

I don't think it's creepy he tries to maintain the link - it's been 10 years since they last met, and he probably invested a lot of emotions in meeting her again. I would try to keep up a connection, too.

He met her when he was despising his father for being a public cleaning personnel, and getting bullied for it. Her ad praising the small time employees - particularly cleaners - changed his mind and made him repair his relationship with his father. And then she inspired him to get into his actual career (that he had shown interest in but wasn't decided on since he was a schoolkid.)

So yeah, she was pretty impactful for his life. If she remembers him in turn... who knows. She probably does remember the ad, though, because it was one of her first works and got a prize too.

It's all in the drama, unless you skip...

(ep5) Gimme the booooooox, where's MY boooooooox!!!

Darn, that was sooo pretty. I wouldn't mind receiving such a gift box. I hope they make it a merch for the drama, LOL.

I blame Star Wars for it, LOL. I mean, Alien did whatever it could to fix it (going even by the promo byline) but SW was a way more successful franchise and now everybody expects sound to travel in space because why not :D

Forgot to mention - this feels a bit like Wuliang (darker tones, cinematography, hints at cruel things.)

Also, I'm loving Han YaSi, he'd better be in a lot of episodes, he seems to have a lot of secrets and maybe a hidden agenda too. The actor (Omid - well, that name...) also has amazing facial structure, pretty interesting. I definitely want the character to have a HEA, if possible.

I don't really like the Gong sister though, she's a bit extra.

Episodes are 1 hour long, there's time. And the cinematography, music and general atmosphere is absolutely amazing (going by first episode). This one looks beautiful and promises a lot. I hope it delivers.
