Japanese actor faces backlash for telling anxious pregnant fan to ‘beg’ husband for pain-free epidural

“The rate of epidural analgesia in labour has been relatively low in Japan compared with other countries, at 8.6 % in 2020, according to the Ministry of Health of Japan.

The rate in China is 30%, and in the USA it is 60%”

I know this is probably the last week for but damn it the 2 ep per day release is slowly killing me inside despite me just being on episode 10. That's because I know the last arc is a really exciting one and I want it to be here NOW

@liztai It is odd how some of the critiques of S2 is that it has less action & comedy than S1 so it is more boring.

I find the tension esp around the emperor palpable! He is terrifying in his inscrutability and every word matters in the dialogue. It is so layered!

So frustrated that I can’t binge more than two a day but find even two has a lot to chew on and think through.

Btw Really loving the beautiful indoor staging this season - the decor budget must’ve been S+ huge!

@liztai Same - I find it still has so much wit! His line to his sister about why he has two needles in his top knot: Gives my hair volume! Frankly have no idea if that was scripted or an adlib!

I love watching how other countries rework series to bring out new things - Designated Survivor is way better IMHO as a Korean political suspense film than original USAn.

F4 is a way better version of Jap/Taiwanese/Kor Boys Over Flowers. It had a distinctive Thai spin on it. LGBTQ characters. Clashing rural, class & ethnic backgrounds. That both FL & ML were f*cked up.

I want to see a remake of Love Me, Love My Voice about Shanghai’s dubbing & voice actors. Needs stronger female spin

Just beginning to watch season 1 of “Joy of Life” 🌸 It is still laying the foundations of the drama but there is already a sense of foreboding. Zhang Ruoyun has a very charismatic presence - slightly goofy but clever.

Ting Meishi has a brooding, underplayed aspect that complements Zhang Ruoyun’s more mercurial character.

@liztai @Sollenbum Waiting for him to appear in cameo on S2

AnnaAnthro,
@AnnaAnthro@mastodon.social avatar

@Sollenbum @liztai I agree - it takes a while for the patterns to coalesce. Initially I thought S1 was a comedic spin on the wuxia aka Connecticut Yankee in an Emperor’s Palace.
But it slowly coalesced into a Leviathan - a meditation on the nature of power and leadership.
Fan is a sly fox with a huge set of abilities from the 21stC but he soon realizes he is dealing with complexity he’s never imagined - he needs help. It is an unusual hero’s path. He sheds power!
