I think the whole point of the jerk lead is that he changes when he meets the girl and falls for her - it's him realising that he won't keep her beside him if he doesn't change or she shows him she loves him regardless (usually the lead is actually damaged rather than just a simple jerk in those cases) and so he mellows.
Obviously there's exceptions to that rule where you want her with the Second Lead - Boys over Flowers is the classic go-to example of the guy who remains a jerk and the girl just becomes a doormat for his jerkness.
For me I prefer the ones where the girl is a POSITIVE influence on the jerk guy - the ones where she becomes a doormat are just not appealing though they're few and far between.
It's called the 'Yoda was drunk when he used Google Translate' version..... ;)
I do actually, more for fun than anything - my daughter says I should write about some of the madness that's my life (like the time I set fire to AND flooded our kitchen at the SAME time whilst involved in my first ever attempt to make damson jam.....I didn't even know jam COULD catch fire.
Of course my family now love to play Adele's 'Set Fire to the Rain' whenever I'm in the kitchen and my husband joked that when I said I could burn water when we started dating he thought I was joking!)
But then i really doubt people wou.d believe half the stuff that has GENUINELY happened - like the fire/flood (and which has a whole sub story as, when cooked, damsons go the colour of blood......that was also a problem)! XD XD
That trailer is fake as f...k......The Si Won clips were from She was Pretty and King of Dramas! I'm currently re-watching She was Pretty for the Nth time and JUST watched that clip of him in the grey woolly hat!
That crossed my mind - though many people truly believe they didn't die in the end.......so, perhaps they won't…
Oh my GOD!! You're YOU!! I THOUGHT i recognised you!! Oh Lord, was it that long ago?! Yes, yes, I remember (no small feat for me given my swiss cheese brain!). Oh it's really genuinely lovely to chat to you again. *beams*
It's release date is AFTER the new 'modesty laws' are in place, one of which bans ALL LGBT centric entertainement and entertainers. So i sincerely doubt this will EVER see the light of day now. It's truly breathtaking, in a sad way, how BACKWARD the Chinese government is regarding LGBT - well, and tattoos, hiphop and rap....all of which is banned. But then non conformity is their enemy I suppose. Not a country I want to visit.
I did wonder the same thing but China's already done a version of that a short while back called Pretty Li Hui Zhen....though it was universally panned, so perhaps they're having another try? Lol!
I am.so happy to see XuWei Zhou back again in film. I missed him so much. Does anyone know if he will be doing…
They are PERMANENTLY banned from from being seen together jn public, Athena. I thought it was being together at all, but a Chinese poster here said that it's only in public but IS permanent.....a ridiculous extreme to go to.
Park Bo gum can have me in tears with just a wobble of his bottom lip. I remember seriously rooting for him in Tomorrow's Cantebile and crying every time he got upset or his hand hurt. Same with Hello Monster.....when he says "you didn't even recognise me" with those tearful eyes (little picture above) i was bawling in seconds. He's just such a little puppy........
LOVE Fujioka Dean so this will be a must watch for me - nice to see him getting more lead roles too. He's a brilliant actor and it's a shame it's taken so long.
Whilst there do appear to be similarities with Meteor Garden, I also saw some with Devil Beside Me....so I think it has more to do with teen tropes.. ...writers know what work and just like to hit repeat.
No, this one isn't for me. I am curious how they are going to have them freeze to death in Thailand though.
That crossed my mind - though many people truly believe they didn't die in the end.......so, perhaps they won't actually perish this time. I did wonder at that ending in the Korean version - it didn't seem to serve any purpose.
Still I'm sure there's snow capped mountains SOMEWHERE in Thailand, they better go look for one! XD Or they could drown them, burn them....actually there's a few ways to kill them without snow. I am going to hell for finding this funny. ;)
