The Good, The Bad and The Weird is a Korean movie that kind of plays with this concept. It was a fun watch although,…
I agree on the choices of actors esp with the likes of Jang Hyuk. But Hwang Jungmin gonna cost a lot too considering many of his films is in the top 10 of highest grossing k-films of all time.
I'm late but I'm glad that I didnt missed this article. I'm obsessed with umbrella as well and glad to see someone is like me too lol! I always find umbrella as a nice prop in dramas and find all scenes are even more beautiful and have more impact when involving them. Not to mention that poster for movies and dramas are even more beautiful with them. :D
My fave umbrella scene so far is the confession scene in The Eternal Love 2. Yes, this magnificent object got dropped when the leads kissed but we will never forget the impact it gives to the whole scene. ;P
I beg to differ, if a drama is complete garbage I will give it a 3. ;-) :-P
lol at High Society and Obsessed. X'D I knew the drama would be bad thats why I stay away from it. But 0 is literally the worst lol. I think my worst rating is 1/10 but that's Train to Venice (a movie and not a drama) -- I had a hell of fun times reading the reviews at IMDB since everyone seemed to agree with how trash is the movie.
I think the worst rating I have ever given a drama would be Because this is my first life (4/10). I have problem with the script glorifying abusive relationship. I hate toxic males/females in general but most of their behaviors are corrected by the end of the drama as part of character development but when its not, thats where I draw my line.
I'm surprised you didnt like The Master's Sun. I havent seen it yet but everyone seemed to love that drama. Can I know why?
I think domestic viewers rate much more critically than most of the international viewers, who seek a good story…
I agree on the ratings for 1-4 for Douban users lol. It doesn't mean the drama is bad its just not worth your time despite how entertaining the dramas might be. I would only rate 1-4 for my dramas if the script is utterly flawed and horrible.
For some reason I was under the assumption that The Untamed was really very popular in China, so a little surprised…
The Untamed is really popular there. If its not, then the 2 of its lead stars wont be the top of the industry now. But here in the article its about ratings thus for Douban users (known to be very picky and pompous), The Untamed script wasnt good enough to be in the top 10 but it doesnt mean that the drama is not good / popular.
Its the same with Ten Miles of Peach Blossom, it is the most viewed dramas in China (and also the most popular) but the comments on the drama was hilarious and kinda brutal despite the popularity that the drama enjoyed in both domestic and overseas market.
It seemed here that MDL users are harder to please by looking at the ratings given for the series above. For me, MDL ratings are highly influenced by the popularity of the series and the actors. Many times that I would rate something 4 to 5 due to the inconsistency and horrible scripts but here, the ratings were like 8.5 to 8.8 and it was such high ratings for such flawed dramas lol.
I'm interested to watch Ming Dynasty in 1566 though. To be rated 9.7 in Douban is a miracle so the drama must be hella good.
Actually, I was surprised he made it into 30 Most Popular on MDL. I meant I knew he was good since watching him…
Oh is it? I thought he will be more popular here considering Perfect & Casual and Unforgettable Love are excellent romcom and popular with international audiences. I subscribed to IQIYI and Unforgettable Love was #1 for weeks during its airing time.
I haven't watch Fall in Love yet so I will probably check it out later. :D I love grey characters in general over righteous ones since grey characters made more interesting dramas haha.
I'm actually surprised to see Miles Wei at #30. I thought he will be higher lol. He is a perfect example of someone who really fight his way for the main roles in dramas after yearssss in the industry. I'm so happy he has like 3 up-coming dramas that I can look forward to. :D
NGL, most of the dramas listed above sound very interesting. I think in term of creativity for plots, I always prefers C-dramas. I'm excited for a lot of things despite not very familiar with some of the actors.
I love Nojima Shinji's writing since I personally thought no one could writer a darker human nature dramas than him. But unfortunately, his writing can be so so amazing (Ningen Shikkaku or Flowers for Algernon for examples) or falling to borderline pretentious and this is the case for Lipstick.
There are so many red flags in their main characters' relationship and I hated the fact that he glorifies the main girl's actions -- she basically broke the main guy to the point he cant function like a normal person after she's gone. That is not love but obsession tbh.
Gut wrenching, fascinating and devastating love story. About love that devour, destroy, give you hope, teach you…
God I hate Lipstick. The FL in the drama basically broke the ML to the point he cant function like a normal person after she's gone. That is not love but obsession tbh.
This was a transmigration novel since that premise is basically banned from chinese drama, they had to create…
Which part of it was banned? I have a few issues unexplained like who is the Afterlife Camp leader and what is the purpose of the Moustache Man in this whole thing. Both of these are not explained in the drama. Not to mention how useless is the Liang spies lol. Are all of this banned from airing thus they never explained in the drama?
most of the comments are about FL being stupid and I didn't know why until I watched ep 10. Now every comments…
I just watched episode 10 and I seriously cant stand the stupidity. Usually, the so called dumb FLs are still bearable to me or didnt annoy me but for this one, I just cant lol. I legit hate how stupid she is. I was like, instead of being drunk in jealousy, why on earth you drive your husband away by keep refusing his touch/kisses or ask him to go to the camp when he obviously just want to be next to you. OTL
The story is so simple and cheesy yet it bring me so much laughter and smiles. The male lead is so amusing and such a tease -- he likes to play around with his wife and make her embarrassed. Such a great relationship.
For Wang Anyu, suggest to check out Forever Love, he is really good in that.
Thanks for this. I was looking for excellent Cdrama after just finishing the awesome Perfect & Casual and Forever Love seemed to be in the right alley for me. :D
Asking for spoilers: it's tagged multiple couples, who are they and is there a love triangle?
There are 2 other couples. Yun Shu's 2 bestfriends who are used to be in relationship with each other. And another couple is Yun Shu's sister & Si Nian's bestfriend. There are also love triangles but its nothing as they both said 'No' and like I said in my comment, any misunderstanding is solved in 1 episode. Its a very light and heartwarming drama so its just full of fluff from start to finish.
If Im not mistaken, Taek actually got more screen time than Junghwan. Esp alone screen time with Deoksun since she always taking care of him in like every episode
