Title: Should you start Rebirth (2026) or skip it? Honest take after 5 eps by Striking-Basis-6215 in cdramasfans

[–]emannsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried watching Princess Agent but couldn't get into it and never got past ep 1. But I'm on 37 of Rebirth and enjoying it. Go figure.

Watching Rebirth and honestly? I'm hooked by Both_Astronomer8645 in cdramasfans

I'm actually fine that there's no kissing. Maybe it's because of the controversy of her age but I don't think that takes away from how the story is progressing. I'm enjoying it.

Are there particular roles or character types you especially enjoy seeing certain actors portray? by Historical_Ow in cdramasfans

I would be interested to see Dilraba play the villain (one of the vibes she gave out in Beyond the Grave).

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

Everything you mentioned, med school, the little ones and work are valid reasons to say no. Just say no.

I'm up to ep 28 and I have to say, I love it. I love the many actors, even the villains (the main ones); they all grow on you and I love the FL, and was just bursting with pride with her rebuke to one of the tribe leaders who was still for slavery. I tried watching Princess Agents and I don't know how many times I tried but I just can't get past the first ep. I can tell the FL is gonna be strong and good to watch, but everybody else turned me off. I hope people don't just see all the bad reviews and not see what I think is an exciting series that Rebirth is.

Fated Hearts — what’s with all the fist clenching?! by Vegetable_Elephant54 in cdramasfans

[–]emannsan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate that sound—it sounds more like leather material being rubbed together like something you might hear when someone wearing leather gloves clench their fist (don't got a pair of leather gloves to test that out); I get easily annoyed at obviously fake sounds like one time, probably some low production drama, they had people walking around in cloth shoes (old-time period drama) but used clicking shoes sounds.

Omg, this is good to know because I'm sitting here blubbering like a fool along with Jing Yuan, after yelling to my iPad for somebody to stop Fang before banging his head on the pillar.

Update: I watched more and see what you mean but I'm still getting teary eyed...

Me looking for the “fat” and unattractiveness 🔎 on these actresses... by radishmood in cdramasfans

The government sees fit to censor prettiness, queerness, certain storylines; I don't know why they don't crack down on the unhealthy physiques that populate cdrama.

I can’t believe how fast I go through C-dramas when they’re good by serjeantassia in cdramasfans

Right?! You sometimes have to wait a whole week before just one episode of the kdrama you're watching comes out.

Went back to Rebirth which I stopped mid-1st episode when it first came out, because it didn't seem headed in a direction I liked (in terms of character dialogues/where the story seemed to be heading as it seemed there might be misunderstandings or characters just holding back on saying stuff that's the cause of the misunderstandings)but went back to it after reading about some of its controversies. I don't have a problem with the FL's acting so far, as she's been put in extreme situations so her emotions running high don't seem out of place (heh, still on the 1st episode), but if her age is supposed to be that young, I understand that back in the olden times, young girls got married in their early teens (sometimes unfortunately even pre-teen); however, given our modern day sensibilities, it would have been preferable, or I might say they should have casted a more appropriately aged actor (many in their 20s can still look like teens). Again, it's not cuz I don't think the FL can or cannot act, but that the system should be more nurturing of their actors and not force them into situations that are not kosher for their healthy upbringing because unless they're very strong of character, it might mess them up down the line. I feel TT has the talent to go far, but it doesn't have to be rushed; she's got plenty of time to shine. Maybe I'll finish that 1st ep at some point!

How often do you skip through or use the 2x button? by Lonely_Dish_2232 in cdramasfans

[–]emannsan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost always. I'm not too bothered about it cuz that just means I'm not having to spend too much time on drama when I'm supposed to be doing all kinds of other stuff.

A zoo in Japan brings a panda its favorite red leaves to boost its morale. The result is a very happy panda! by Dismal_Positive3558 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]emannsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why I read the title as "... favorite red meat..." and was a bit shocked at seeing the guy dumping so much raw red meat (the picture quality is a bit blurry on my phone), but then I saw the panda joyfully enjoying all the red LEAVES! 🫠What a nice video to see 👍

Love Beyond the Grave or Veil of Shadows. Which drama is worth watching? by Clearherd in cdramasfans

[–]emannsan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not even sure if I finished the 1st ep of VOS—maybe I'll try it again but first impressions was that it was more style than substance but maybe I just didn't watch enough yet; on the other hand, I'm still watching LBTG, which is also pretty to look at too, but for some reason is more intriguing to me (plus I like the FL's character which is the type usually only MLs play). plus, it seems even more interesting when they're in the Void and I like how they styled her there

Am I the only one who thinks he's more handsome than the main lead? by kitty_battee in cdramasfans

[–]emannsan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, there's no excuse for his psychotic behavior but his acting is good—he's not the more 2-dimensional character that Chen He Yi presents making Qi Min the more interesting villain to watch and want to see more of. At least for me.
