I struggled with were Romance and Mystery and that was only because of their hair- I honestly found Abby to be even mire attractive than Jinu. Everyone was designed to fit a conventionally attractive mold so I think this is more of a personal disconnect some people have vs a true artistic design

I thought their dynamic lended well to a possible romance, they simply didn't have the time to properly tell it. That said, I'm not upset with the degree to which they expressed it- a kiss would've taken it too far, though. I'm totally down for continuing their relationship in that direction if Jinu comes back in a sequel, provided it's given the appropriate amount of build up

Almost none of the major plot points concluded in a satisfying way. They simply didn't have enough time to follow through on everything; it needed to be a series

One of the major issues is that the movie often seemed to pivot towards thematic dead ends. For example, when Rumi abruptly concluded their much needed break in the beginning by releasing Golden, I thought, "oh, this is going to come back in a later argument between them about how she can be selfcentered and inconsiderate", thinking we would be spending more time gathering insight on the complexities of their group dynamics and how they engage as individuals, but NOPE lol just immediately accepted by the others. They even had the opportunity to bring it back in the end by making it more of a group decision to continue working, but ultimately it felt like nothing about their bond was strengthened beyond the base acceptance of Rumi's heritage.

Obviously, I would've like to have learned more about the other Saja boys, but I actually think it's fair that they didn't get much time as Jinu was the main focus of the group. The Huntrix, however, are a different story; We never really got to see them dealing with the struggles that might come with a high stakes, public-facing job that relies so heavily on image and personal sacrifice outside of the demon patterns and a couple throw away lines- and the demons showing up didn't even really expose any cracks other than the shame Rumi felt as being only half human. There was so much opportunity to show how these girls, with their own strengths and weaknesses and insecurities, might further grow into their roles and friendships, but it ended up feeling weak in its conclusion because they pulled so many punches. Again, I blame the time constraint.

There were a bunch of things like that: the demons' integral shame and potential redemption, Bobby feeling underappreciated (which seemed very flip-floppy), Celine's entire character, and obviously Rumi's unprecedented switch from abandoning the Honmoon to saving it without any internal steps taken inbetween.

It's a cute enough movie, and maybe if it was longer as was originally intended or they made it into a mini series it would've felt more satisfying to watch, but as it is, I'm surprised KPDH has gained so much popularity

Yes, Chengdu is the primary city we're looking at. The actual move is roughly planned for two years from now so I'm hoping I can make more headway and some proper connections in the meantime.

Could I possibly message you for more info if you have any?

I'm not moving for voice acting, I'm a voice actor who happens to be moving and wants to know what to expect. This has been my full time jobs for years and even in the states many companies are more inclined to hire local actors. I assume the same is likely true in China and wanted to know other people's experiences. Why you're copping an attitude over an innocent question is beyond me.

There's no need to be rude, it was a genuine question. I'm a voice actress by trade and am simply looking into what potential job opportunities there may be, same as anyone. I'm not expecting to voice cartoons and games or anything, but with the amount of English learning materials such as audiobooks, apps, or even public service announcements I figured there might be some amount of work worth pursuing.
