Its getting uncomfortable with the repeated use of the word “woke” especially when its original meaning was…
Plenty of words mean something different from its original intent. So what?
If the repeated use of "woke" makes you uncomfortable, then you can either ignore it or get out of your comfort zone. But who are you to tell others how and what terms they can or cannot use?
For the record, its true original definition means "not asleep": e.g. the alarm clock "woke" me up. So who's "co-opting" what?
I can't believe people don't think any of the men are toxic when the kidnapping scene exists
Hello, fellow foodie!
To be honest, the "toxicity" I care most about is whether or not it's in my food. When it comes to fictional characters from a distant time and place, not so much...
I like the story of all these women, I love the colors, flowers, clothes or jewelry. Aesthetic is amazing.BUTWhat…
This is not exclusive to women in ancient China. During the middle ages, all peoples around the globe, regardless of gender, led "sh1tty" lives unless they were royalty or nobility.
Someday, people in the future will say that we, in the 21st century, led "sh1tty" lives. That's because they will be applying their contemporary standards against our standards in the same way that you're applying 21st century standards against those from a millenium ago.
Want to bet that Song Dynasty women said the same thing about women who came before them or lived outside China?
I finished ep2. the drama is really great but I hope there is no romance between them because I will stop watching…
There is NO romance between the leads. Not to mention, the Chinese entertainment industry strictly forbids filming romantic scenes involving minors with adults. Last but not least, this drama is about friendship and family bonds; romance is a just a small part of it.
Then why is she the main role if the ML endeds up with chen mo? Shouldn't she also be main role?
Because female leads don't necessarily get involved in romantic relationships. And nothing stops female supporting roles from getting romantically involved with the male leads. Not to mention, this drama is about friendship and family bonds; romance is just a secondary side story.
The beauty of this drama is that it doesn't follow simple formulas.
Just go on your Netflix account and search The First Frost, it should pop up if it's available in your country.…
Are you from a Latin American country? From what I can tell, on Netflix, Chinese dramas generally start out in Asia, work their way around to North America and Europe before landing in Latin America. Some exceptions include Brazil and Mexico, which tend to get them earlier. I'm guessing, C-dramas may be a little more popular there or something. At the end of the day, Netflix sucks. Period.
Yes, I like this drama too! Some main reasons I like this drama:-Despite main male lead is a total green flag…
Chen XingXu and Zhang WanYi are my two (out of three) favorite actors. The third is Bai JingTing. Not surprisingly, he received formal education at the Beijing Film Academy. But he originally studied music at a conservatory.

I didn't read the original source materials, but in terms of the dramas, I bet FF >

How do you rate the manhua? Why did you think it was "way better?" More profound? More complex? More meaningful?
