You know what #Cdramas do so well?
Emotional intensity. #Chinese people are stoic, reserved and not physically demonstrative. So, one has to read the emotional queues in a glance, a gesture and most importantly through words. For eg, in #JoyOfLife2 polite words are exchanged in seemingly genteel banquets, but there's no mistaking the hatred. ❤️ Is expressed through a longing look & a tear. When characters finally get physical, the tension is explosive! 🙀 #Cdrama
You know the kind of drama where every moment is just an utter delight that you wished it was 70 episodes long? #JoyOfLife2 is it. The last drama that was like that for me was Mysterious Lotus Casebook.
I know this is probably the last week for #JoyOfLife2 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
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 #cdrama Love Me, Love My Voice about Shanghai’s dubbing & voice actors. Needs stronger female spin
Yolo more than a story about an overweight girl becoming a boxer . It's a character study of a woman who decides to believe in herself by doing something seemingly impossible.
Just finishing episode 5 of “Joy of Life” 🌸 The drama feels very different from more standard Cdramas. Difficult to pinpoint exactly why. Perhaps it is because it allows its characters to be flawed?
Wang Yang as the assassin with a backstory who turns into a helper has great charisma. Nice to see actors who are not extremely young, being given meaty roles to play.
