Im at ep21 I just dont understand how Mu could not have been in her own version of female rage for the utter distrust, disrespect and hurt caused by zhao’s “for your own good” abandonment/betrayal. And more so, how all the friends and even her family in Thailand betrayed her on Zhao’s direction. This is a huge abandonment from all parties as her heart was breaking in front of them. This is beyond infantilizing, humiliating and condescending from Zhao and all of the others. Why is Chinese character writing often so seemingly unaware of how ridiculous this is, and how normal people would RIGHTLY feel angry, resentful for such treatment not just endure it while never blaming or complaining or demanding to be treated with the respect she deserves. Not even saints should accept what these people are doing, on Zhao’s instruction.
I do understand where they are all coming from, but this is crazy levels of lack of wisdom. No matter how good your intentions are you are degrading someone acting this way. You are telling them they cannot be trusted to make decisions for themselves, you are telling them that they dont even deserve to try. It is damaging in a way chinese media always seems to conveniently sidestep.
the scenes where they get esther to perform are the only cringe thing about this. i wish they handled them in a more natural way, but perhaps there wasn’t such a way since WHY WOULD ANY STREET BAND ASK A RANDO TO SING WITH THEM JUST COS THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL?!! 🫠🫠🫠
so i know this is censored, but is it as thoroughly censored as the untamed or less? ill still watch it but im curious. ive read that its more clear they are romantic, even though they dont kiss etc.
if you think this is a good actress your standards are too low. im sad he isnt paired better also
people love her in blossom, and i felt that show hinged entirely on her and her performance was stunted. she could only do a couple of things in terms of acting and then repeat. that show needed a better actor. but even if i say that i cannot deny most people disagree and made that show blow up. i chalk it up to a personal incompatibility between me and MZY
he is a self serving liar that is too busy trying to get what he wants to be a good friend. he is just like one of those guys who pretends they are your friend when actually they are waiting for you to see what a “nice guy” they are and fall for them. nothing feels genuine because they expect some sort of reward.
every kindness seems to be followed by a “do you love me back yet”. i hate it.
6 days later: COMPLETED! Hatred for Ming subsided 🤍
thats exactly right! im at ep9 now. more frustration with sol because he wont give up even though he was rejected romantically in every way he could’ve been.
even from behind he looks very different from Tong. its so funny whenever they keep saying he looks the same.
most fans hate ming, i struggle with Sol, he is so annoying. i think i have something against those who pursue despite being rejected and shown at every turn they are not seen romantically.
