Those are also separatd stories by cast , timelines etc. You can watch one, rest can be meh, so yeah, everybody…
Those are side stories, and chinese sources seperate them. Even Baidu considers them to be, separated, in the notation. And just because they have one page, doesn't mean it's correct. Even titles, which literally has 2 parts, which was caused by restrictions in China, to this day, have on Douban/Baike one page. So it's not an argument in this situation, when they ain't updating even a cast/crew for those.
??? It doesn't have anything with popularity. It's how show was cut. And yes, the parts airs, one after another,…
From chinese news,also even Baike mentions that
""Hutong" is divided into three era chapters, and three representative eras are selected: 50, 80 and today in the 21st century. It tells the story of the three generations of women from the founding, development and development of the neighborhood committee, and always uphold the original intention of serving the people."
Those are closed stories, with different cast, stories, couples etc. And we simple understand, that someone wants to watch only one of them, for whatever reason they want. And you still have one page, like i said, which connect them all, which you can mark later also as completed. But maybe someone want'swatch onle one of them? It's compromise, more than anything, which roots from the chinese sources itself.
And keep in mind that Douban/Baidu etc. are mostly updated LATER , for few years now. They don't even update cast/crew so often, so it;s based on cross-checking multiple sources.
So to keep it clean - they are like side stories to each other, with main core, so from our perspective it was normal to split it.
Is there another image for the poster with better quality?
Nope,sadly no, we have only pretty couple/character posters, and not for all of the characters :( this one is re-used, and made from old chara posters, from years ago.
Separating it to three different pages is a stupid idea. I really hate how toxic c-dramas have become recently.…
??? It doesn't have anything with popularity. It's how show was cut. And yes, the parts airs, one after another, but with different time setting/period/cast etc. And indeed, if someone wants watch only one story, especially because they are closed, that person is free to do so. It doesn't have anything with someones popularity, but how show was cut. And i don't see how it's toxic. If it would be a story that connects all pairs and follows one another - sure, cutting it only for the cast, would be toxic. But if even chinese sources, split it, as a parts, we go with this route. Also we have still, one mother page for all titles, so yeah.
Those are also separatd stories by cast , timelines etc. You can watch one, rest can be meh, so yeah, everybody…
And one more thing, because i simple needed to check drama you mention. The problem is, that all chinese sources states, that https://zh.m.wikipedia.org/zh-hans/%E8%83%A1%E5%90%8C_(%E7%94%B5%E8%A7%86%E5%89%A7) are split, and also looking on the dates , they all little overlapping. And about title you mention, i can simple ask. Anyway, Hu Tong is clearly seperated, the one you mention -not, still i get the idea of different stories, compiled to one.
yeah... this is what the staff want, I'm not sure about those interested (the viewers)
Imo it's not "what we want", it's how title is split originally. Also i think it's a benefit for the viewiers, because maybe they want watch only one chapter, with one mains,not the whole title.
Those are also separatd stories by cast , timelines etc. You can watch one, rest can be meh, so yeah, everybody…
No, it's not duplicate, it connects them. And all 3 chapters, are separated dramas, chinese sources split those. And their airs, one after another. So we go with the sources. Lately Chinese laws changed againabout airing titles, so we go, with how they split them.
Ohh it makes sense why the staff want to split/put the chapters into separate pages because there are so many…
Those are also separatd stories by cast , timelines etc. You can watch one, rest can be meh, so yeah, everybody happy. Especially that even native treat those like more omnibus/side stories thing :)
Yeah same I wanted to find out but unfortunately couldn’t find anything about him.
Yeah i checked almost everywhere, he's enigma :P i found only one drama from tik tok with him, and that's all. No personal account, no nothing for now.
After some reviews and spoilers i was afraid, it will be much worse. But imo it was decent drama, with some little flaws.
Overall i must say, the toxicity of some of those lakorns...i just sometimes can't. First of all Saikim father was absolute trash. I think he had some weird obsesion about his own daughter, or maybe her mother, which then was transfered at her? Anyway, even if it was hard, leaving own child, which such a demon...i'm so sorry for Saikimi, because it seems, nobody cared about her, no matter what she did, she was at lost. Still, i can just forgive her for keeping her father's side for so long and for being so hopelessly naive.
Second - Kaokla's father is absolute GOLD. He saved the day from day one, not buying crap, that his son was selling. I get, they relationship was quit rocky at the times, and i understand why. But he was the only sane person in this whole circus, helping his son, to be better man, helping Saikimi to grow, and overall, being that quiet shipper, who will kick you if you do something stupid, but at the same time, will fight like lion for you, because only he can kick your ass :P
Did i mention, that Saikimi family was a trash? :P
About the romance part - meh, typical mounting misunderstandings. But i liked their chemistry. I was only mad, that especially ML, knowin how his "father-in-law" is manipulating Saikimi, didn't connect dots earlier. I know, the fake letters, still - I guess he might have figured out sooner how much of her father's influence this girl was. And to be clear - that doesn't totally justifies her.. Simple, it's sad, he didn't try to snoop more, and understand, why they ended up like that. Especially, after this whole mess at the pool.
And Kaokla family story...well, when i read comments about incest part, i was like :o But after explanation in the last ep....i mean, they didn't know about their relationship. BUT what really pissed me off, is that..if i understand correctly, this whole surogate/mistress limbo, was only to save Kaokla's half brother? because if so.... Also overall, don't get me wrong. I get that people can be atracked to each other, and have a big age gap etc. Still...related or not, their relationship was simple ugly.
Anyway, too much toxic crap and i would cut some. Romance part - nice, but too over dramatic sometimes. Chemistry was amazing. Storyline - sometimes ridiculous. But overall, nice.
