those are definetly fans of POJ , LBTG getting more recognition thats why they are spreading hate in the name…
đđđ This is a perfect example of a crazy fan of Chen Fei Yu - mainly brainless, completely obsessed and blinded by his appearance.
Why don't you say that Iâm a Generation to Generation fan who wants to bombard Chen Fei Yu too, when I bring both Generation to Generation and Pursuit of Jade into the comparison?
The answer is easy - because youâre definitely a fan of Chen Fei Yu. Pursuit of Jade is getting more recognition than Chen Fei Yu while Generation to Generation isnât getting that much attention. Thatâs why youâre spreading hate only toward Pursuit of Jade in the name of âcommenting.â
Youâre giving bark-and-run energy here. Sound like an insecure person with some inferiority complex. From now on, you shouldn't comment under posts by people you disagree with. Youâre only exposing and embarrassing yourself.
Are you a man? Almost all your reviews have male gaze...and yet your preference is dramas that cater to women.…
@DramaMama
Iâm not a man (- I'm a bee), but I feel like my taste in this drama is pretty similar to this guy. Donât you think it might be more about the maternity than gender? Like, you have the mama-generation gaze, while I have the bee gaze - the kind with zero tolerance for bullshit đ
Yeah... there are so many illogical things happening one after another at such a ridiculously frequent pace that by the time I finished the whole episode, I already forgot all the unbelievable nonsenses that happened in the first quarter of it.
It was my huh? moment too, when I saw the ML standing on top of the corpse mountain. There were so many whys???
Who the hell put those bodies together to form a mountain? The ML himself? Why? To make himself an obvious target for the enemyâs arrows? Or did he want to announce his victory from the top of something? But isnât it disrespectful when the mountain he conquered wasnât built from his enemies but from his comrades, whom he failed to protect?
Or did he think it would be easier to protect himself from close-range sword fights if he stayed higher up? But then he'd escape alone while leaving his loyal subordinate to die at the bottom of that mountain.
Anyway, was the corpse mountain really a good strategy? Why would anyone waste energy and time making a body mountain in the middle of a fierce fight?
But since there was a corpse mountain anyway, why not finding a way to use it as a shield instead of displaying himself on top of it?
Yeah... my IQ was really under attack. And by the time the episode ended, all those things were fine to me (as Iâd forgotten how upset I was while watching). Just one episode and my brain was completely rotted. Lol
You're the 1st person who bring that up about my score! đIt's because the fixed subcategories from the system…
(3) Because of the factors above, it has become the norm in Chinese production to record visuals and audio separately. In recent years, more directors start to record live audio on set, but that is still a small number. Many viewers now also prefer hearing the actors' real voices over dubbing, so in some productions, they have the actors come back into the studio to record their own voice-overs after the editing is complete.
* Not sure whether you already knew this, but in Pursuit of Jade, they didn't use the ML's real voice.

(2) The actors' voices don't fit their roles. For example, people in the past spoke differently from how people do today. Some actors speak in a style that's too modern and can't drop it when they play a period drama (imagine teenagers clipping their words in every sentence). Or some are too young for their characters, their voices lack the authority making the performance unconvincing.
You're the 1st person who bring that up about my score! đIt's because the fixed subcategories from the system…
(1) Each region in China has its own dialect. They share a writing system, but the pronunciations vary so much they're practically different languages, like Shanghainese, Cantonese and Mandarin. While Mandarin is the official standard for school and media, many people still use local dialects at home and in their everyday life, which often leaves them with their regional accents.
Thatâs also why Chinese subtitles are commonly used for all on-screen content even when the dialogue is already in Chinese. Many viewers may not be fully familiar with standard Mandarin pronunciation, but they can understand the written text.
When actors still have regional accents, it's usually obvious and distracts the audience from the story, so they hire professional voice actors for dubbing. In variety shows, though, they keep the original voices and donât dub over them.
oh honey, death and sacrifice make sense only if the person won't return on next episode. If he/she does return…
I think the root cause of those revivals is still the time-travel setup. Since the writer chose a system that makes death reversible, it kind of opens the door for those revivals from the start. And when we can change the past like that, death naturally has less meaning.
For the crying, if they want blood tears, itâs obviously going to be fake tears đ
You gave 5 to all sub categories but overall 4, how the math works in your head :) ?I watched Park Min Young in…
You're the 1st person who bring that up about my score! đ
It's because the fixed subcategories from the system are too coarse for me. I go with a more detailed breakdown than the framework they force me into. Plus, I donât weigh every subcategory equally - some factors should count more than others.
So, for most of the shows I've written review for, the total score isn't the average score of the subcategories, but I lay out my thoughts only in some reviews that I invest time in.
Anyway, on the 2nd thought, I think the rewatch value of Siren's Kiss shouldn't be 5.
*Rewatch value means little to me, though. Some great shows are just too sad and the lower this score is, the more it reflects their success.
----------------------------------------
After dropping "Sirenâs Kiss", I looked back at her post-2018 work a bit and saw some articles about her starving herself to play a cancer patient in "Marry My Husband", too. She looks a little different there compared to her 2018 self and then looks noticeably different in "Siren's Kiss". I donât know why the results of the same person starving can look that different and I'm actually not that concerned about the reasons. Itâs just that she looks noticeably / strangely different.
*Yeah⊠her strange vibe actually fits the narrative of her turning into a siren.
The story in the last episode is really full of flaws. It breaks too many of its own established rules. I donât know if the writer got fed up with himself when writing this last stretch, but elsewhere it feels like he held himself to a higher standard.
The story in this drama is complex and layered, I love that. And the way he reveals it makes me feel like Iâm going on an exploratory tour đ
On the death topic, I don't really object to their deaths and revivals, the logic is there. In my view, the real issue is that they chose time travel as the underlying logic, which can easily feel like cheating if not executed well.
I think time-travel stories are hard to handle. Most of the time, they fail because of the very rules and logic they set up themselves. Another example in Chinese dramas is "I Don't Want to Be Friends with You". Itâs very promising, but ends up breaking its own logic in the final episode.
For the ugly cry, is Ji Ling's cry at the end of ep 22 ugly enough for you? Or still too beautiful? đ
wait. GTG direction was already criticised by many when the drama was airing. it was a lil messy. Now this drama…
If youâre talking about the editing during the early episodes of GTG, I disagree with that criticism. I understand the story alright at the pace the director wanted to reveal it. They donât have to explain everything from the beginning. Iâm okay being confused when that's the intention. I don't need the god perspective that knows everything when watching a drama. So I didnât realize people felt it was messy until I saw people talking about it.
Anyway, you might have to give me some room that I have a different standard from others.
You are another stupid person with low IQ and low EQ. In your dictionary criticism = hate = fan of the rival. How prejudiced and brainless you are đ

You gave this show a higher score than I did, but your review is more savage than mine.

For Park Min-youngâs dubbing, it's just as simple as that she can't speak Chinese.
For Chinese actors, it depends. The general situations are:
