Fuck their government and all of their apologists.

Dumbass whataboutism helps nothing. It is the south korean government that is at fault here in this instance. Why the fuck would we throw our arms up and say "oh well the whole world sucks what can you do?" No, Korea is fucked up here. YAI and people like him suffer because of the way they are doing things. Do you think that America is the only place with issues of police brutality? Or that England is the only place with issues of transphobia? Does that mean we should ignore them and say that the whole world sucks so we shouldn't blame them? People really need to think before they say such ignorant shit.

Oh shit it's happening

That's what I was thinking. She just got cleared of any crimes so it was unlikely that it would air right away (though I really wish it would, there's no good historicals rn). They were probably just trying to get a general feel of the audience's reaction to the news and if it was positive they'd probably then continue with an actual plan with promotion ahead of time before airing. And if it was negative they'd probably shelve it for an indefinite amount of time until the controversy has time to cool off.

Yeah I agree. Idk in what world a five year difference would be considered an age gap relationship

The trailer had me so excited when it first released. I will be so fucking happy if this actually drops

The proper period up-do hairstyles really suit Ren Min's face. She's such a talented actress, I'm glad to see styling that is flattering. People really tore her apart in The Longest Promise when that wasn't even her fault.

This site is so stupid about age gaps. Apparently the couple has to have a five year gap to apply that tag. I tried to remove the tag on the drama Hard to Find (because the leads in that drama are only four years apart), but the staff still rejected my edit.

Exactly. I'm a big XL fan but this ending felt right. The characters stayed true to who they were from beginning to end and I so love this series for that.

Pack it up grandma, I'm not reading all of that.

No Wang Churan is still very much the beauty standard in China. Liu Yifei was the great beauty of the millennial gen and Wang Churan will be that for Gen Z(though WCR will probably never be as iconic as LYF, unless she gets a massive role that makes her a household name). The vast majority of Chinese viewers prefer a look like theirs over the cute actresses.

Lol fair enough. I've watched a lot of dramas with questionable editing and directing but was still able to enjoy them. I'm still watching this, it was just one aspect that annoyed me. I like the actors and the story seems interesting so far

Quite a funny statement when this is a drama starring Hu Yitian of all people

The zoomed closeups are an old cheap trick used in film for decades. It's an overused technique used in cdramas in particular. It's not as deep as you guys are trying to make it out to be. It's obnoxious and jarring.

real

I really don't care about all of that reasoning. When the general audience is viewing the drama, with these stylistic choices, it comes off as cheap, amateurish, and dated. Cdramas have done this style of editing for decades. It needs to be done away with. There are ways to accomplish their artistic goals without it looking ridiculous

I'm liking it but why is the editing so stupid sometimes? Like they put so much effort into this beautiful cinematography and then do dumbass dramatic zoomed closeups. Cdramas have come so far over the years and then they pull bullshit like that

Just started this and wow Yang Chaoyue looks absolutely ethereal

"Seduced a married man," are we in the 50s?? If it's true the majority of the responsibility falls on the dude. She didn't "seduce" anyone. She could be a cheater along with him, but let's place the blame where it really lies

This sounds fun, I'm looking forward to it. And I love GHJ <3
