they didn't do the scene where Han Ting drags her before the closet mirror and says you've become like me
HT is not easy to act. The actor has to find the balance between being restrain and still try to connect with the audience. I think HT did lose his cool in a couple of instances in the novel. In ALP, Ice Cube never loses his cool except when he pleaded with Shanggu to not go through with it. I still like ALP way better than modern dramas.
Seven Tan's acting is superb! Her face is full of all kinds of emotions. Her eyes are expressive. Her entire body language is showing emotions in this scene. Her crying scenes are so raw. I feel with her. Grandpa was right that they would collide.
Han Ting flinched his eyes with fierceness when he says, "you do not". When HT heard JX's words "lived here for so long", his eyes turned to fear in that moment that she was going to leave him.
The dialogue in the confrontation scene is nice and long. I really like those kinds of scenes. I hope Firefigher will allow him long dialogues that are emotional and passionate using his own voice. These are the kinds of scenes that an actor needs to make a breakthrough. I'm really looking forward to Firefighter because now that XK has done three modern dramas using his own voice and experienced dubbing, he will only get better. He's still relatively new to using his voice and still working to overcome accent. He's fortunate to have such an exquisite voice that can evoke emotions and his line delivery is getting better and better. His voice is captivating to me.
Also, Xu Kai has already done the introverted types and cold types and his nuanced acting is great for that. ABAY, HT is also an introvert. I think Firefighter will probably still be more of an introverted type, but I hope he does dramas that can release his emotional acting, like in AMA, he was wild.
In the novel, she had to trick him to get his initials while making out with him, then later, she stole his stamp. But in the drama, they condensed a lot so excluded this fact?
The director has the ability to capture emotions through the lens and is very good at playing on the audience’s feelings. The actors’ nuanced acting complements this style perfectly.
She broke into his safe like a burglar to find the Hanhai XingChen ageement. She was able to guess the password. That's incredible. I don't recall that happening in the novel. She couldn't just confront him about it and say Zeng Di told me about Hanhai. What's going on?
What’s kind of ironic is that he has all that passion and fire for her. You don’t pine for someone for over…
JX wants the kind of love that he could give up anything for her, even Dongyang, or that if she left him, his world would collapse. That's not his definition of love. In the area of love in his life, she would be the only one, provided they are compatible which he thinks they are. He's liked her since college and never forgot her and had regrets of not finding her and was really happy to find her again and wanted to be her boyfriend and all, and pursues her, but that doesn't change his way of thinking about love. Actually, this idea of what is love is really debatable. Everyone has their own idea of what love is or what someone has to do to show their love. Men and women especially have different views.
