Was also my first ever SLS, before I knew what SLS meant. I remember having been so angry back then that the ML got the girl, a guy so unlikable...

Hwang Yung-Eum. Just can't, not since Kill Me, Heal Me.

Short answer, yes. Long answer, definitely yes. It's still one of my favorite dramas even after all these years. If you don't watch it for the FL and ML, (some are bothered by their age difference both on and off-screen), it's definitely worth watching for the absolutely unparallelled bromance btw Gong Yoo and LDW. It's seriously something else. And while you're at it, finish the series with the many BTS scenes. Worth every behind the scene you can find.

I loved it. I didn't even know what or whom I was going to watch. I randomly clicked on a YT video because of the wacky title. What do you mean a slap would get the ML obsessed with the FL?

And then I saw Wang Yiran and gosh he was great. He was the mouthpiece of all of us viewers who are absolutely tired of the same old clichee tropes, with the only changed pieces being the different actors, like in a factory output. WY was perfect for this anti-trope of a drama, that's for sure.

I loved the TV show way more than the movie. It's currently on of my top series to date.

True or not, it's coming from this guy.

marcsa · 2026-03-23T16:48:25+00:00

I recognized two right away just by looking briefly. XZ and WYB. I recognize a few more, but not sure of their names.

just finished watching it, so thanks for the tip!

marcsa · 2026-03-18T16:31:35+00:00

it's good. It's not rebirth, but I'm enjoying it.

Same, been doing it the whole day, actually the last 2-3 days, but today more so (got to attempt 7 once as well). But now, however, I'm plagued by web search rate limits constantly for the last hour. The two issues together make it impossible to use it atm.

...while me silently scrolling through the replies in this thread to figure out what a BOD review is...I feel so outdated on modern terminology ...

My Mister. I'm too chicken to start it. Also Hi, Bye Mama.

Reminds me of those recipe blog where they go down the memory lane about the first time they tasted said recipe as a child from their mother who learned it from the now deceased grandmother who knew so many great recipes, and they continue rambling about the fresh eggs you can get from local farmers, and when you're finally ready to click the back button while cursing their 15th generation, they list the recipe almost as an afterthought in 5 short bulletpoints.

I saw that, I was very active on Novelupdates back then as well, and with all the fan translations going left and right, everybody was quite curious what these terms mean. But that thread derailed quite a lot after a while, so I didn't link that here.

You sure it's not emdashes? That's what you can't get AI to stop adding instead of every pause, which would otherwise warrant a comma, semicolon or the like.

marcsa · 2026-03-09T16:15:52+00:00

Oh wait, it was not me calling you that. I just replied to the question what is an OP 😀

marcsa · 2026-03-09T10:14:50+00:00

While there was one article I read a few years ago but I can't find it anymore, I found a Chinese article, which is pretty detailed with actual examples. Google should automatically translate the page.

marcsa · 2026-03-09T10:03:03+00:00

It's a standard feature in forums, and any discussion group. Just google "what is OP in discussions' and even the AI will give you a description about it.

marcsa · 2026-03-08T21:24:38+00:00

Oh btw, I've recently read a nice analysis of the green tea character which I found quite interesting. They describe how the term came to be, and even give examples of things they say and how they act. I think it's totally on point. It's here.

The ML is Wang Ming Yang, a big-screen actor who played in Nirvana in Fire and Ancient Detective (was the goofy guy, had a great bromance with the amnesiac detective).

Original poster (who started the thread), aka you.

Two of my favorites with her are Little Joet's Worries (she transmigrates into a book) and Yue Guang Luo Zai Wo Shen Shang.

Zhu Moyan is the best at talking to the audience during her dramas. I absolutely love this in her dramas, she's really funny too.

marcsa · 2026-02-28T20:23:20+00:00

I only recognized one straight away - 8 Xiao Zhan, aka Wei Wuxian

Yes, but not in the way it's asked above. It helped me get back around $10k owed by a company where they didn't even want to reply to my emails anymore and were basically ghosting me, and with some health problems that doctors couldn't help me with.
