The rating on this drama is truly baffling ! Like did we watch the same drama?!? This was a 9.5 for me. The best…
dismissing valid criticisms as "it's just the haters" is pretty harmful tbh. this just wasn't a good drama and it's okay to admit that. they wasted such talented actors and i'm genuinely upset that it's bad because chen duling and zhao yiran look so good.
ik it may sound really weird to a lot of people rn.....But I personally wish them to play siblings together in…
imo they should have played a sibling like role first and THEN done a romance drama because pushing her into a romance drama like this when she was underage is just exploitative. there was all the time in the world for them to wait until she was 18+ to do romance dramas. lack of kissing does not erase the adult sexual undertones of actions...
Idol dramas tend to highlight only FL as smart,cold,calculative while Ml is treated as doormat.
that's just a recent development lmao, pre-2020, the ML was cold and calculative while the FL was a complete blithering doormat. stuff like Love and Redemption (where the ML was the one suffering more) got super popular, so writers started flipping the roles
the fact that you people don't see an obvious problem with this is genuinely concerning. the director is feeding into the hate that HMH is getting over this drama. it doesn't matter that this is a common marketing tactic. the director KNOWS that Ai Mi was underage while filming. Implying a real life romantic relationship between Ai Mi and Hou Minghao is incredibly dangerous and damaging. It clearly shows that the director does not respect the boundaries that HMH has placed between himself and Ai Mi, and does not care to take the caution that one needs in a situation like this. This 炒CP tactic is incredibly inappropriate and could legitimately hurt HMH's career, especially when he is in so much controversy in China already over it. It's one thing to enjoy the drama, it's another to just blatantly ignore something like this. He is ALREADY being sent death threats over this drama, can you imagine how much worse it will get because of that statement?? This is why you don't cast minors to play the love interests of adults. This "it doesn't matter" attitude is so harmful, i can't believe MDL has become a site like this...

the correct term is Ephebophilia, a sexual attraction to children from ages 14-19.
(hou minghao is not any of that)
