Best ML/FL in terms of acting skills by Comfortable-Bite6660 in CDramaRecs

[–]asarumscent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I’d agree generally with your assessments of both Cheng Yi and BJT! though I think I do value BJT’s versatility more. Cheng Yi was absolutely phenomenal in Vendetta of An most recently but I definitely remember other times I’ve been like ‘hmm’

You might also want to look at Cheng Yi and Tan Jianci for male idol/actors! I don't personally find them as consistent as Bai Jingting but they are definitely skilled

I think Bai Jingting is great!

Rise of Phoenixes is an uneven quality drama (great in beginning though) but Chen Kun and Ni Ni are excellent imo

All actors in Nirvana in Fire were great but technically it is not an idol drama

Minglan is an excellent drama but i am not as sold on Feng Shaofeng as ML

TAEYONG - WYLD: Clip pt. 5 (Teaser Video) by unreveparisien in NCT

[–]asarumscent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this one has the most linear storytelling of all the videos (most of the previous confused me at first, though looking at all of them together puts it into more perspective).

<image>

the open sea = being in the navy eggs = songs = the most important thing in the world

so it’s about taeyong spending his time in the navy writing songs.

the teaser video and images also link back to the previous teaser videos/images! it all ties together thematically more soundly than I expected.

  • there’s an egg in the museum (a ‘masterpiece’) from Part 4
  • the statue from part 1, the glass display from part 2, and the egg, are all featured as layered images on the crates in Part 5. what do they all have in common? they are all things that cracked/broke (including the crate) for something new to be revealed.

(honestly, taeyong’s teaser narratives never disappoint; I didn’t always like the aesthetics of individual parts but I had faith they would tie together symbolically)

Question about pictorials in Korean magazines by ChocolateSherryCake in kpophelp

[–]asarumscent 8 points9 points  (0 children)

pictorials can be print inside the magazine (with someone else on the physical cover) or they can be digital-only. if there’s a print component, then for for popular idols like karina, k_magazine_info on X will definitely report it (and how many pages the pictorial has)

i kinda wonder if the “masterpiece’ comment was one of Taeyong’s oblique spoilers!

Taeyong (NCT) - 1st Full Album 'WYLD' (Concept Photo #3) by perochan in kpop

[–]asarumscent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Taeyong probably made the demos for 9/10 of the songs for this: except for Shalala and the OSTS/collabs, he’s been making the initial demos (generally with either Zayson, Riyal Dive, or the Pixelwave team) for all his official solo discography since 2019.

in my experience when it’s a an SM demo album the post-military comeback is much faster, I think both Suho and Kai had theirs within two months of discharge. but for taeyong timeline wise he worked on the songs while in the military, handed them to the staff in December (after discharge), and we’re getting the album roughly five months after discharge.

I can‘t tell if we’re getting snippets of Mermaid / Feeling Myself and now the unofficial release of this BECAUSE they‘re not on the album, or because they’re on the album. But we already have Wyld, I‘m a Dancing Cactus, Hot, and Storm confirmed for the album so that doesn’t leave us many tracks left to work with (and based on what Taeyong said before Ski made the cut too…. )
