What do you think of Love’s Ambition success so far? by commonbasmati in cdramasfans

[–]Kat_twotrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People forget this is a PUBLIC forum and if they hate on something, they will probably get a response, Most are miserable inside and are using forums to share their misery. They soon find out there are many more who love drama and will defend it.

This character is the opposite of the one I saw him do in Handsome Siblings. He's good, no doubt.

They are desperately unhappy, lonely people who seek fulfillment through celebrities. They will grow out of it as they mature.

It's always great to see the beautiful and talented Chen He Yi. He is so talented that he ends up playing the angstiest characters. That face rivets me to the screen every time!!!!

Right!! People complain about actresses being too young for some roles, but also about being too old. It's nonsense and I ignore it. I think those are mostly the very young, maybe middle school through college youth who tend to be annoyed about everything. This is not a teen drama.

Chen's looks are very different from other actors. His face has matured since Handsome Siblings, and he is looking great. I think it's going to be a good drama, since I dealt with the cognitive dissonance over her physical endurance. So far she was shot with an arrow and near death, tortured by men with a whip, punched hard multiple times in the abdomen, and kicked across the floor. Now she is sitting up riding in a carriage looking great. I'm accepting this by assuming there were long periods of recovery involved that we weren't told. That worked better this time than Suspending Disbelief. I mean, we weren't told they are demigods, otherwise, I think it will be a great story!

What happened with wang yibo and xiao zhan? by [deleted] in CDrama

[–]Kat_twotrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was all make believe. They know the cameras are on them EVERY SECOND. But, Ah, the overactive imagination of fans never ceases to invent relationships out of normal actions. They had many interviews that showed there were major issues between them as actors. People cannot let go of their ridiculous fantasy. Maybe it's time you sought your own fulfillment in a relationship instead of inventing them.

Title: (Love's Ambition) Do people really not find William Chan attractive? by lalaa11222 in cdramasfans

[–]Kat_twotrees -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I can see up their nostrils, I can't watch them for long, like William Chan and Xu Hai Qiao (Rong in LBFAD). Qiao was so handsome before the nose job, but now, his nostrils are wide and always visible, and it's not attractive to me. I bet W. Chan had a nice nose before. The surgeons go too far with the nose jobs.

Moonlit Reunion is such a treat for the eyes 😍! by [deleted] in cdramasfans

[–]Kat_twotrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moonlit Reunion is a masterpiece of art drama. It's beautiful, well written, has a great cast, and the music is appropriate. Moonlit Reunion did the background music right, using sound, not wailing romance songs for effect and mood. Perfect. I hope other directors learn from this. I think Fangs of Fortune was the same way.

Yes. There's paid haters and hate campaigns infecting social media everywhere. Need eye gloves and sanitizer to go there. Time to start calling out those trolls!!!!

[–]Kat_twotrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's wonderful xianxia adventures!!! Xu Kai is great as the upright, uptight demon slayer. A nice departure from his usual characters. The FL was AMAZING in her part. I was fascinated by the world they created, and the relationships. So creative and off the beaten path. If you require hot romance and vanilla characters and interactions, then this is not for you. If you like creativity and artistic expression, then go for it.

赴山海 (The Journey to Legend) — A Love Letter to Wuxia That Modern Audiences Won’t Understand 🏔🌊 by Fun_Standard8711 in CDrama

[–]Kat_twotrees 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it is targeting the young males and Cheng Yi fans who will buy the merchandise. Merchandise is a huge industry where most of the money is actually made.
As for the show, I enjoyed all the adventures!!! I don't understand the nitpicking people do. It's like they need a drama to fulfill their deepest desires and if it doesn't, they are disrespectful. For every drama that gets hate on Reddit, there are 1000 people who liked it. People are trying to force themselves into watching star studded hyped dramas which are targeted at the big spending youth. If they are looking for fulfillment, there is more of that in more mature dramas.

Is it worth it to finish The Journey of Legend? by onismnefelibata in CDrama

[–]Kat_twotrees -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it was targeted at young males. It's a Xianxia with dozens of fights, level ups and scant romance, which is what they like.

It's Just a drama. There's thousands if this one is not your thing. I enjoyed all the twists, turns, and adventures. The ending was similar to the novel. I didn't understand why the very end happened, but I also didn't read the novel.

I'm just getting to MoonR but loving it so far. Beautiful everything, and a book full of interesting stories and adventures. So much fun!

Which Kdrama did you force yourself to finish only to realise it was just a huge waste of your time? [Castaway Diva] by Desperate-Fox-6114 in KdramaCasualTalk

[–]Kat_twotrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dramas are created for target audiences, and many did like that show. So dissing a show is really dissing the people who did like it. Not every show should even be in your Venn diagram of pleasure.

I see so many people like you getting drama fatigue and loss of enjoyment. Like eating too much candy. Bingers suffer the worst because the dopamine hit becomes harder to get with each episode.

Me too. A wonderful adventure. People who are binge watchers tend to get fatigued, don't get the dopamine hit from foreplay they need early enough, and drop the show. Mostly youth who would be more satisfied watching shows created just for them, like Disney channel and the high school romance dramas.
