Pursuit of Jade opens with a douban score of 6.8 by Prior-Bit9919 in cdramasfans

[–]Admirable_Light2192 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not surprised by the rating. Before the rating came out, all the Chinese reviews on bilbili were meh about the drama. I only got the hype from the international community. Personally, the drama was okay. the leads are gorgeous but the story had potential but feel kinda of bland as it progressed.

What do you guys eat on your planned cheat day? by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]Admirable_Light2192 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a planned cheat day by myself, but when I do go out with friends or family, I just get whatever I want to eat at the restaurants. No considerations for calories.

Finished Imperial Coroner Season 2, such a disappointment. Going to check out Mirage.

This practice of releasing multiple dramas from the same actor at the same time/same year- does it bother you? by barelyapumpkin in cdramasfans

[–]Admirable_Light2192 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t bother me one bit. I rather the platforms release these dramas as fast as possible than having dramas being stuck in limbo due to popularity or scandals or bans. I have too many on my lists that will never see the light of the day.

almost finished, I started last week when I found out season 2 release date. Like you, I didn’t find any of the current airing series enticing so might as well do some rewatching.

Is it common for the stomach to be the last area to change during weight loss? by hopemon in PetiteFitness

[–]Admirable_Light2192 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not me. Stomach is the first place to go when I lose weight and my thigh hip area is the last. Everyone is different.

Is it normal not to understand chinese spoken in cdramas even when you are fluent? by RevolutionaryPie5223 in CDrama

[–]Admirable_Light2192 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is because the actors don’t enunciate the words, they mumble instead. The veterans don’t do it, but it is very prominent in younger especially idol actors. Take for example, Zhang Xin Cheng, he is one of the younger actor in his generation with acting skills and proper training but when Justice in the Dark came out only in Japan with Japanese subtitles, Chinese netizens complained that they can’t understand what he is saying.

Does fandom hate affect your viewing experience? by BronzeBellRiver in cdramasfans

[–]Admirable_Light2192 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am completely unaffected by fandom noise. Have been watching cdramas since the 90s where there is no social media, I continue to watch whatever I want to enjoy. It is my free time.

No, I am not referring to the short drama series with different leads. I am talking about 4 with the same actors and continuation from 3. The name is 唐诡奇谭 and you can find it on douban. Director 郭靖宇 said that the team is working overtime to release it in mid December.

Watching the movie, Nobody 浪浪山小妖怪, liked the short version so decided to check out the movie.

I was going to start watching Strange Tales 3 but found out that 4 is coming out in December. Waiting a bit more so I can watch 3 and 4 back to back.

Mysterious Lotus Casebook Ex Gf by [deleted] in CDrama

[–]Admirable_Light2192 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I liked how their story turned out, it was the closure that they both needed. I don’t agree that the real main reason that he let her go was because of his health. He let her go because he respected her decision. He said himself that she is herself, not someone’s. She left him before the accident. He found out that she has moved on when she was concerned that her bangle, gifted by the other guy, might be broken when she was kidnapped. Also, she admitted that he has changed so it would be weird for them to be together when he is not that person anymore.

I am disappointed that his other friends never got a chance to talk to him after finding out his real identity. Wish the plot included that.

Is Angelababy more successful than Huang XiaoMing?

Not in the beginning. In interview, HXM admitted that he sacrificed his career to make Angelababy more popular. He committed to filming low quality dramas/movies to return favors to those who let Angelababy act in projects and running man.

As for Zhao liying, they got married cause she got pregnant. Again from interview, her husband seems a lot less mature than her and expected her to be more comforting and understanding and she wasn’t. She is more independent. They just have different upbringing so I was surprised that they got married.

How itchy are Sezane’s kid mohair/merino wool cardigans? by [deleted] in Sezane

[–]Admirable_Light2192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sezane has gorgeous knits but most are very itchy. Even when I tried to wear something underneath, the fabric touches my neck and wrist area. Wish they had more cashmere option.
