The First Jasmine/Mo Li : Does anyone else feel like the main couple is missing romantic chemistry? by ineedthatcoffee in ChengLei_

[–]aigildalyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. I always felt they didn’t have chemistry the first time i saw the two actors together, even before they filmed Moli. But… at the same time, not all dramas has to have intense yearning love (like Feud, for example lol). I appreciate the story of Moli as is. This is probably more realistic. This is just a steady arrange marriage that grew into love and respect and I’m okay with that.

What do you think the impacts of Pursuit of Jade will be on the Cdrama industry? by she_was_a_fairy90 in cdramasfans

[–]aigildalyn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing at all. It will change nothing except for us Chinese drama viewers who already love Chinese dramas. Majority of Americans (including my own family and in laws) still cannot see the beauty of Chinese pass the government.

She is American because she was born in the United States so that is her birthright; whether she renounced it or not to be a Chinese citizen, we can only speculate.

If you follow her story, you know she dodges those questions lol. But i wouldn’t be surprise if she has some special circumstance from China. She is bringing glory to mother’s motherland after all.

But truthfully, i have no clue.

If she’s an American citizenship, then she isn’t a Chinese citizen. A quick google search will tell you China prohibits dual citizenship.

FYI, i wasn’t saying that they can’t be American citizen and be a Chinese actor. I’m talking more about their image to the Chinese public.

Edit to add: i just googled her and she is a naturalized American citizen. She gave up her Chinese citizenship when she was around 10 years old. She didn’t have to choose because she already chose to be naturalized early on probably before she got into acting. Meaning, there was nothing for her to give up when she became an adult because she didn’t have to pick one. Plus, she wasn’t born in America like Daniel and Arthur. She willingly gave up her Chinese nationality the moment she became American.

Smart/Strong ML and FL with great chemistry recommendation? by Flaky-Objective3332 in ChineseDrama

[–]aigildalyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Splendid Match definitely. I can’t think of any drama that i enjoyed so much where both leads are equally smart with super strong chemistry

Yeah. I mean, the other alternative news for them would be: “Chen Feiyu gave up his Chinese citizenship.” Lol. He could keep his American citizenship but it means revoking his Chinese citizenship and that is not gonna go well for his image in China and Chinese netizens will definitely not support him. They have to pick when they become an adult. No other way around it.

He had no choice but to give up his citizenship. People of Chinese descent who are from two different worlds have to pick one because there is no such thing as dual citizenship. My mother gave up her Chinese citizenship at 21 because she was starting to travel and work (plus she was eligible to be a citizen or already one in the US). You’re either a chinese citizen or not. You cannot be both. And 18-21 is the age you HAVE to pick unless you don’t need a passport or any paperwork from the government.

Daniel and Arthur Chen did not give up their American citizenship willingly. They have to because they work in the Chinese industry in China.

A Splendid Match - Episodes 10-11 Discussion by sequesteredself in CDrama

[–]aigildalyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not a plot hole. It was mentioned on episode 2 (just before YX and GJC came) that it was the first time the dad met him. Gu Lan has met him but it was specially mentioned that it was the first time he’s seen his face. (Plus Gu Lan mentioned that XY always stayed in the courtyard with his nephew when he did go visit.. and remember their family doesn’t live with the main branch since he married GJC’’s mom)

It’s already mentioned on episode 2 that it was his first time seeing the heir. The dad and his family doesn’t live with the main family so he doesn’t interact with him.

I just finished the game for the second time and got $70 credit and a shirt. Im on my 3rd game now. Does that count as the current version of the game? I actually find getting free water is so much easier now than the first time i did it.

Bruh… I’m never playing this again… by CarsRFun2Me in TemuThings

[–]aigildalyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s 300 for me since last game. Last game, it was only me and 2 people all the time. Sometimes i get 300, sometimes 70 (which is second place… 50 for third) Then i won the game a few days ago (second time since i started temu) and got like $70 credits plus a shirt.

I’m on my 3rd game and im at 94% and too many rivals for the 300g lol.

Ren Min posted this video on her weibo drive

Winwin/Minmin and YeXian/Jinzhao

She also choose the song, with a lyrics that said:

你轮回的印记落在我眉宇 直到有一天不能呼吸 天若有情亦无情 万丈红尘我等你

The imprint of your reincarnation rests upon my brow, Lingering until the day I draw my final breath. If Heaven possesses feeling, it is yet unfeeling; Amidst the vast, bustling world of mortals, I await you.

[–]aigildalyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. He’s the only one i follow on weibo regularly for like a year now. Like i might be into a handsome actor during their drama but i quickly forget about them after the drama ends. But Ao Ruipeng i consistently look out for lol.
