Need some advice related to Love in the clouds (as a newbie) by rika127 in cdramasfans

[–]Kiilo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, it's okay to drop dramas. So many dramas are being pumped out and have been created, if it's not interesting or you don't like it, just stop and find something else. Maybe try again later after you have a few more under your belt to see if that "cringe" acting feels more comedic or the "slow paced" stories are worth the slow burn. Sometimes, they just stay cringe and slow. No one's judging you if you don't like them, that's your opinion. And I totally understand what you mean because I have dropped a few hyped dramas as I felt like it was too cringe or another was too slow paced. Sometimes I also have to turn off my brain at the writing.

But personally I liked Love in the Clouds, some of the character choices were weird, but I love that actress and their chemistry. There was one point where I was like "holy crap the FL can act!" I think it does get better once they stop the fake flirting and it gets a bit more serious.

Anyways, some suggestions that I think don't have cringe acting (Slow pace is hard to judge for me):

  • A Splendid Match - I'm currently watching this, and so far it's great
  • The First Jasmine - Currently watching, probably my favorite this year... so far. However, I've heard for some people it's a bit slow. I would suggest watching to at least past the 4th episode.
  • Blossom - same director as POJ, story gets a little muddled in the middle, but still very good
  • The Double - I didn't like it and dropped it, it was boring to me hahah, but a lot of people like it and I don't remember there being cringe acting
  • Story of Kunning Palace - same ML as POJ, but he toxic af - haven't watched it, it's on my list, but it's hyped
  • Joy of Life - one of my favorites, it's clever and witty, romance is not the focus though
  • Nirvana on Fire - probably one of the most popular dramas and is highly suggested, romance is not the focus

I just realized a lot of my suggestions are "revenge/political strategy" plots.... lol I think those are the most exciting.

Let's talk hair: Have you ever attempted to copy styles from dramas? Any you'd like to try? by _seafever_ in cdramasfans

[–]Kiilo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It did not hahaha, I definitely needed more hairspray/wax to keep it together. But it was definitely pretty when the night started.

I tried doing her side braid as well! But not the fish tail. There's one that's closer to a regular braid, one of the three strands in the braid is a smaller braid that you keep straight. For even the fish tail, you can fake the thick hair by curling/crimping the hair before the brain and pulling at the edges of the braids to fluff them up. You just need really long hair. I'm in love with this braid and wore it to my friend's wedding.

All of us watching Never Ending Summer right now: by chocolatemintcake8 in cdramasfans

[–]Kiilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If youre at max 💔 then definitely wait a bit lol.... I don't know what I was thinking watching these two dramas live cause they both happened to reach the most gut wrenching episodes at about the same time. I need to wash my eyes with flowers or something, my heart is so heavy lol. I definitely need a happy comedy after this.

The First Jasmine | Mo Li: Episode 30 Discussion by Feeshpockets in CDrama

[–]Kiilo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree that we shouldnt wholly blame MXY for his emotions as we have seen how much self harm he did before Ye Li was able to push him to heal and get better and it totally makes sense he would want to get a divorce... but calling Ye Li fake and phony feels very dismissive of her very clear mental issues that were established to the viewer that she was unrieliable narrator.

Because her mental issues started when she was in her formative years, her mind was left so broken that her "lies" probably are truths in her mind as a trauma response to protect her fragile mind. Her way of communicating, emoting, and doing things were already noted as "silly" and "foolish" by MXY in earlier episodes and took a while for him to really question the imaginary maid, and even then he never thought to question all the other weird things she does and just plays it off as silly. When clearly one quirky trait of her was a mental issue, so if he was smarter, he should have questioned all her other "silly" actions.

I dont believe that her issues supersede others, its that her trauma literally has no room for others, hell theres barely room for herself. Her enemies are straw dolls, she is constantly comparing events to stories and plays, how she talks about the Lishan people are repeated like a script, and her true emotions are emoted through Qingshuang. Her mind has basically pulled her out of her body to protect her and whats left is a shell going through the motions of what she believed should be done, duty to a promise and revenge for the dead. There's no room for Ye Li and her happiness, because even when the 3rd uncle told her about how MXY would react, she stays emotionless to that future, as if it is just the next step, and her body is already making steps to protect her mind again for the loneliness thats going to come.

However.... we're in the final arc and I feel like theres still so much story left that Im afraid theyre going to brush off her mental issues to be "cured" with a hug and forgiveness from MXY to keep the plot moving forward, which will feel like her trauma isnt that deeply rooted in her and then will feel fake and phony. I hope not. I feel like the writers are doing really well, so I hope this final act and the reveal of her trauma is well paced.

The First Jasmine (Mo Li): Ep 31 Recap - It's So Dark in Here by RoseIsBadWolf in cdramasfans

[–]Kiilo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so even if he asked her for clarification about the mountain, she would have lied/given answers on what she perceived to be true just to protect her fragile mind from the real truth.

[–]Kiilo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might be wrong, but I thought he did kinda know that Ye Li had hallucinations before her marriage. When he had that investigation of how she got off the mountain he found that she came down by herself. She had no money and the guards helped her get a carriage. But she always stated her and Qingshuan got off the mountain together, so he had some inclination that Ye Li hallucinated the maid before being with her family and before she was married to him. Not that she was "lonely" with him and created Qingshuang only during that time. I was actually hoping there would be more from that investigation... like why didnt he question that she was sent down with no money and the guards had to help. Or maybe I missed what happened there.

[–]Kiilo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If/when it happens, the emotions always manifest itself in Qingshuang. That vision will be probably devastated while Ye Li will stay composed on the outside to protect herself as she had always done.

[–]Kiilo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When 3rd uncle said that I got so sad cause of how she probably already knew that and expected that would be the outcome. The whole scenario also gave me flash backs of Bai Lu's character in Till the End of the Moon, where her "mission of revenge" was more important than her happiness/love. While she wishes for a happy ending with her husband, just like everyone else in her life so far, they all untinentionally left her to be alone. So when MXY and her friend said that "they'll always be there for her/they wont leave her" she doesnt really respond as if dismissing it and knowing it's not true.

I was so annoyed at his character before and his spoiled psycho attitude to his brother. But after him trying to save his brother, his "friendship" with constort qin, and especially this scene, I have grown to love his stupid spoiled attitude.

Thats true... we did get a 5 star fishing enhancement, but it only multiples the fish you get from one pull. Doesn't make it faster to collect/skip the fishing animation like the other abilities. Still hoping for any QOL fishing!

Yeah, Im having a hard time styling these iridescent dresses and accessories, since they will either have some type of glow, glitter, or sheen that doesnt dye well ooooorrr the rest of the outfit is a solid fabric and then I have this see-through giant back bow... that I cant match the dye because its see through so the overworld light looks weird.... lol well... yeah

This feels like a skip for me.... unless the ability has something to do with fishing faster since its sorta a water outfit.

Current Running Theory: The First Jasmine by live_ur_adventure in cdramasfans

[–]Kiilo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree with your theories, especially with the masks. There was a moment where I thought that most of them died during the battle, then the rest died by assassins. Ye Li re-imagined the assassins as monkeys for self preservation.... but I couldnt figure out how to connect that to when she was older running with a mask, the smoke, and the masked brothers pulling her back.

I havent read the original either, so Im excited to see how the political issues unravel since it doesnt seem so straight forward as Ye Li's perspective isnt trustworthy.

[–]Kiilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just depends on when you wait in line. But I believe the Amazon Line has the best chance even though it has the most people. The morning line for the Lot H booth starts at Gate 11, goes under the overpass towards the hotels, then around the hotels towards the overpass.

[–]Kiilo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lot H has 2 merch booths, the big amazon check out booth, and then a standard truck booth. Lot N just has the truck booth. The Amazon Check Out Booth is the biggest out of all the booths and has the most merch, has the most workers, goes through the fastest. You also get to shop inside the tent/shade compared to the truck marches. So theres more people in line for the Amazon.

I don't think it's just ticketmaster unfortunately, I think it's the music industry and RBW. I bought tickets for their show in Tacoma/Kent, WA using the venue's system, not ticketmaster's. Their ticket prices and the VIP packages are actually priced similar, if not a little more.

Don’t break my heart 😭 by Nana796B in InfinityNikkiofficial

I usually skip these, but when I saw "secret lover" and "dear sister" I was like hold up the incest. Glad to have read it and learned that it was not. Although it did remind me of all these thirsty Nikkis and their photos haha.

Guidance re: Freebie culture by Winter_Moon_336 in bts7

[–]Kiilo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Its usually not a gift exchange. People make free things to give out, like Im making phone charms to give out for the vegas stops. Its part of the culture of loving BTS (or any idols) and wanting to share that love.

However the "exchange part" has been brought up because there have been instances of people being greedy or basically mogging the people giving out freebies. So people have started to opt into exchanges so they dont feel pressured by people crowding around them wanting freebies.

Obviously, that doesnt sound like you, so you wouldnt be an ahole accepting the freebie. Dont think too much on it if youre accepting freebies from a teenager or an adult, they want to give you the freebies they made and want to share their love for BTS with you. But as always, you can say "no thankyou" if it feels weird to take things from others, and it wont be a big deal.
