A bit of fantasy casting, while WAITING for an official announcement ....If you could cast Tan Jian Ci as the…
i don't know many actresses so i can't say LOL. but since xiang liu (lyf) and shangguan qian (mjty) are a couple of my favorite characters, i do wonder what a tan jianci and lu yuxiao pairing would be like. both of them are very charming after all.
wow this cast has a lot of familar faces for me.... lu yuxiao (mjty), xuan yi (wjsn), liu xue ning (gugudan/the double), winwin (nct), li yunrui (blossom), and wang xingyue, liang yongqi, zhao qing (all also from the double)
I don't see the appeal/value of any cent award shows. They don't give awards to really deserving ones but instead…
i honestly have the same sentiment ☹️ weibo award feels more like a popularity or appreciation award. i guess everyone will get an award as long as their drama/character was a success, no matter how they acted. it's most likely to prevent fanwars, hate, and repeated wins but still... how can an actor/actress who still needs improvement be given the same or similar award as an actor/actress who embodied their characters and showed a wide range of emotions?
i'm just happy for tan jianci because, if we ignore the fact that basically everyone else got one too lol, he truly deserves all the awards (trying to not sound biased but it's not my fault that my favorite actor just excels at his craft ;)
The news reporter Na Yuri said, “The ongoing Paltima airstrikes are taking place in Izamel where Korean nationals have been kidnapped by armed militants.” Notice how the names Paltima and Izmel sound suspiciously similar to Palestine and Israel.
Basically, the drama painted Paltima in a bad light by saying that they're doing airstrikes and kidnapping Koreans in Izamel. In reality, it's Palestine being bombed and airstriked by Israel. It's disrespectful and hurtful to the Palestinians who are the victims.
💀 god forbid someone has an opinion. i tried and it just wasn't my cup of tea, as much as i love yang zi, but i still wish for her and this drama's success.
tldr; basically a rant about how annoying it is that this drama can’t decide if it wants to be a romance or a thriller.
watched this in the summer of 2019, of course for my boy jinyoung. to my disappointment, the ahn/jaein romance was very boring and i couldn’t feel any chemistry. it wasn’t until the second half when we were introduced to the thriller side of this drama that it started getting interesting. at that point, i only cared for ahn, sungmo, and jisoo. i truly believe they should’ve centered this drama around those three and completely ditch jaein and/or the romance between ahn and jaein because she was practically nothing but a love interest for the entirety of the drama, or they should get rid of the entire thriller plot and only focus on the romance, or they can keep both but at least execute/tie those two aspects together better and seamlessly.
the ost is another proof of this drama's polarization. we got some lighthearted songs like "take" by jus2 and "sunny day" by seunghee as well as some darker songs like "shadows on the wall" by janett suh. now, i like got7 and oh my girl but did we really need those type of songs? maybe for the first half but definitely not the second... it highkey pmo when a cute ahn/jaein scene with seunghee's song in the bg popped up right after his hyung sung mo was sentenced to prison. 💀
it's like the screenwriters either originally wanted this to be a two-hurt-people-who-found-comfort-in-eachother romance but decided it'd be super cool to add some thriller in it too, or they originally wanted it to be a thriller but decided to add romance to entice fans (cuz drama fans love romance). sorry it just annoys me like UGH please pick one and stick with it or do a better job at interwining them. rant over lol
if the link doesn't work, you can search 五福临门 on douyin and it should be the first account that pops up
lu yuxiao (mjty), xuan yi (wjsn), liu xue ning (gugudan/the double), winwin (nct), li yunrui (blossom), and wang xingyue, liang yongqi, zhao qing (all also from the double)
but the synopsis seems quite interesting. is this a good watch so far?

one of WeTV's recent social media post said "which drama are you most excited for in 2025?" and this drama was listed as one of the options
he deserves all the awards imo hahaha
