  1. Yes...I am glad we see more of Xia Xia. This actress is quite good - have seen her in reality TV programme and she's capable of doing lead roles. Big Bro Cui is like the local gangster head in Nanping right? Dong's jealousy was so good . I am glad that the leads are getting annoyed because that shows there are feelings there. Hehe. But how in the world did ZJ even like someone like Jitong. He's so full of himself and such a prick. He's got that face you wanna slap. Hahahah this is hilarious Think we should get this kiss soon
  2. This has subs for an earlier teaser New long 1 minute teaser so the difference in age between them in this show is 6 years .
  3. I guess when Hae in lost her memories, she also forgot how to use the internet. In this day & age surely she can find out who Hyun Woo is. 😂😂. Given how famous she is , am sure her secretary can google stuff for her to see. It’s cute she’s naturally drawin to him despite not having any memories of their past . pre-released with subs
  4. Hahaha Li Xian is a clown ...the leads had a promo event meeting fans
  5. @JenL Helloooooooo..... I am back to watching like multiple dramas but I think my oppa acquisitions have been only from c-dramaland . Latest lil crush ...heheh let's see how far this goes. LiXian in Will Love In Spring. I highly recommend this slice of life / romance to everyone . Great chemie with the FL played by Zhou Yu Tong.
  6. I was so happy in last night's episode when he reject her outright. He's also very suspicious of her relationship to Suji since she tends to react alot whenever Suji is in the picture. It really helps that WooRi does his profession justice - he's very perceptive of things and draws the line when he has to. What is so funny is that the relationship between him and Hyun Sung are developing faster than it is with SuJi . Lonely & lost HS needs a friend but poor Woori ...ahahah imagine having to hear about the relationship issues of the girl you like.
  7. I am tempted to start this for LiXian. Maybe I have this crush on him ...but okay I need to see how you feel after more episodes as I am a little bit allergic to Republican shows. I always start but cannot finish partly due to the propaganda. Did you watch this one? Meet Yourself. It was on my timeline a lot last year but I didn't check it out. Now because of LiXian, I am motivated to do so This FMV has spoilers but the setting is just beautiful. LX has good chemistry with the FL here too. A lot of reviews say it is a very nice slice of life with a slow paced romance. I am checking this short drama out on Youku . The lead from Secrets Shadow Sect ....let's see how it goes
  8. Why are we not surprised. This does open the technology to many possibilities but also abuse...I mean in the wrong hands, you can be creating super soldiers to conquer the world or to do your bidding. On one hand , I am not against the ability to grow new organs. I know first hand how crucial that is in saving lives . At the same time , there are so many ethical issues that has to be looked into, regulations that has to be in place and also the potential of it being used for the wrong reasons need to be considered.
  9. @rocher22 I was so surprised that they released 3 episodes last night - I had expected only one . But no complaints & it was a good thing too since it was to give closure to Uncle He’s death. I am in love with this show. It’s not just the romance - it’s how the relationships & conversations are written. A lot of shows claim to be slice of life but don’t quite cut it . This show though takes a realistic perspective about life & death without downplaying things but it doesn’t make it too dark. Through CMD’s views on death when he spoke to ZJ ( telling her how he became an embalmer ) , and through how he explained death & grief to lil sis Niao Niao , I feel a sense of comfort myself.
  10. I think that PM and grandpa are somewhat on the same team but dad has his own agenda. Dad being the ex SIL to grandpa is not on the best of terms with the old man. Yes, PM has a fondness for JaYu, not just admiration for her capabilities. Interesting that her PA (legal advisor) is not in her most inner circle. Understandably, the less people know about BF's true capabilities the safer it would be. Those who are in the know are all the scientists & the tech guy. But I wonder if the PA feeling left out , would become a problem later.
  11. Yay...someone subbed this. Grandma is not only onscreen shipper. She even ships them IRL ..asked if they are dating
  12. I think I understand why he's been putting up that wall. It's because he fears being abandoned. That is the running theme of this show. The young people who leave for greener pastures and never return . His parents marriage issues and how they left him there with grandma. Her leaving for Shanghai after he had gotten so attached to her during high school. Even his career is about preparing a person for their final journey where they will not return. I cry thinking about this. So for him to take this step to open his heart - sending her off, responding to her kiss took a lot of courage. By the way it is no wonder the whole town knew. I like this cut I got off weibo ...that was a pretty good first kiss ! But whatever excitement I had in eps 5 and even in upcoming eps 6 was dampened with the preview in eps 7
  13. I love how they parallel the past & present @rocher22 . One episode a day is not enough 😄! I am especially excited for eps 5 and 6. @NiteWalker pacing is pretty decent & the conversations have depth . Like it so far .
  14. Unbelievable that I am up to date till eps 20 , and that was without doubt the best episode. True it took 20 episodes for anything remotely romantic to take place between the leads but all the build up felt kind of worth it. I still hate 70% of the characters but I feel like I can finally ship the main pair romantically and will hang on. Ep 20
  15. Yay I am so glad I have your company for this show. I love it when she pushes his buttons. He's gonna cave in soon - she's got such an engaging smile and warm personality that it would be impossible to stay so aloof. My fave scene from eps 3 was this when grandma told them both that they are destined. The horror on his face I have only seen Li Xian from Medical Examiner Dr Qin but that was eons ago and I can't remember much of him . Pleasantly surprised by how attractive I find him here. ZYT is a pretty good actress - last saw her in that tennis drama with WuLei. Though I found her a bit of mismatch with WL. She has better chemie here with Li Xian. ------------------ @NiteWalker @ktcjdrama @mademoiselle @40somethingahjumma @Lynne @Mouse @Tofu this may be something you guys can check out when you have time. Promising slice of life - romance. Slated for 21 episodes - so pacing is fast and the story telling is nice. Pretty cinematography too.
  16. @peperomia....I am shocked. The twists are all unexpected. I consider myself a season crime drama viewer but the writer had me here. Just as I thought that Jung Won was going to be able to get a fresh start in life, I didn't see her @mademoiselle YYY and the murder is just the tip of the iceberg here. The plot twists and reveals were things I could not have predicted.
  17. This is the premise of the show. Poster is not official
  18. I enjoyed the first 3 episodes very much. Pacing was great & leads have chemistry. The setting of Nanping is first of all just lovely- a town with character and natural beauty. The way they shot this, along with the use of the warm filter, is a feast for the eyes. Nanping is the hometown for both ChenMaiDong and Zhuang Jie, though ZJ is now currently residing in Shanghai where she works as a sales representative selling medical equipment. Both their families are still here and the story starts off with us seeing CMD teaching in a conference away from Nanping, and ZJ being wheeled into the surgery room for a minor procedure in Shanghai. It didn't take long for them to meet where ZJ immediately recognises and greets CMD on the train home to Nanping. ZJ is truly a ball of sunshine - friendly with an infectious smile. Unfortunately CMD does not or claims to not recognise her and immediately set up this invisible wall between them. But of course being the small town that it is , they keep bumping into each other much to her amusement but to his disdain. But I swear , she's going to win him over sooner or later as it is impossible to dislike ZJ. So what makes this pairing rather unique is the fact that both don't exactly have the right specs in the "marriage market". CMD has a job as a mortician - not exactly a job that society looks up to. As the episodes unfold we are also told about his troubled youth being in gangs and beating people up, his parent divorced and remarried and has a ill-tempered grandma who raised him. I love grandma though. She's such a character but also greatly embarrasses him as she goes around looking for a bride. She chances upon ZJ and they hit it off. To grandma's delight, ZJ was school mates with CMD , and grandma finds ZJ a girl with outstanding personality and tries hard to set up ZJ with CMD. Now ZJ would also likely find it hard to find someone given that she is disabled - has leg amputated and is using a prosthetic . The accident that lead to that killed her father. ZJ mother remarried to a lovely man called Uncle He whom all the kids adore. ZJ has a brother in uni (by her father) and much younger sister ( by Uncle He). I love the sibling dynamics - the younger ones clearly look up to ZJ. Mum also has temper and is strict but loves her children dearly. ZJ left for Shanghai to further her studies and is doing well workwise but has come back to Nanping to recuperate from her minor surgery. So the interesting bits is in the backstory between CMD and ZJ, nothing is fully revealed yet but clearly there is a history between them. We are also privy to CMD's past love life and how grandma keeps setting him up on blind dates. However grandma now has her heart quite set on ZJ ( doesn't care about her disability) - this was fueled by what her fortune teller friend tells her about how CMD and ZJ have such a deep bond , and they seem like star-crossed lovers. Friend tells her there will be hardship ahead but grandma is certain CMD is resilient to overcome it!
  19. This show is like so weird for me. In most dramas I am always hoping to see sweet scenes and skinship but here, it was too much. And sometimes, I feel like WuLei's character is like a stalker here. -------------------------- Nway , maybe you can check this one out. It will premiere today , and plot and romance much more promising. Short - 21 episodes. Small town romance. Guy is a mortician who was once a troubled teen and FL is disabled.
  20. Okay I managed to catch till eps 13. How? Hhahahaahah I abused the FF button and watch at 2x speed for characters I can't stand especially when our leads are not there. Even 2nd ML , HyunSung who seemed like a nice guy at first , is too stalkerish and possessive for my liking. Anyway I need to iron out some relationships: 1. WooRi's family members are all not blood related except Uncle Woo Chang and the older lady (whom Ara keeps calling as grandma ) are siblings. WooRi, DooRi and Ara are all "adopted" or being raised by Mum - Seong Young. I am fine with WR's family scenes as everyone is a decent human being , and it goes to show blood ties is not everything when it comes to family. But poor Uncle WooChang who has been in love with mum like for 15 years or something. Hope she can see him romantically and stop trying to set the poor man up on blind dates. 2. So who is Woo Ri's real family? So far nothing shown but I am guessing 2nd ML's mother ? HyunSung and WooRi are not off to a good start with HS feeling wary of WR and SJ's interactions. Anyway HS's father is the hospital director - married the mother who seems to be able call the shots. So I am guessing it's her family that started the hospital. Nway, mum & dad's relationship are strained. Mum especially is not happy - the frown on her face is almost perpetual. 3. Soo Ji - her family is horrid. I don't mind the lil brother but the rest especially her sister, Na Young (who sadly is the 2nd FL with plenty of screen time) is just a nasty person. Soo Ji is the real daughter of WR's adopted mum ( so incoming "fauxcest" issues to be expected when leads fall for each other). She was separated from mum when mum had the accident and I am assuming went into coma or was unable to come get her. So the father with the grandmother , and her stepmum moved abroad or away. Na Young and Soo Ji, I believe are not related. NY must be from stepmum's previous marriage / relationship. Soo Ji's dad cheated on SJ's mum and that's how they had the brother. So right now , I don't think there's anything romantic between the leads yet but their interactions are funny and they tend to jump to conclusions about each other quite a bit. Though, things are mellowing as the episodes progress. Hyun Sung and Soo Ji were dating in uni and I think we'll have to suffer through them rekindling the relationship before Soo Ji realises it isn't going to work. Also will have to suffer watching NaYoung and her one sided crush and chasing of WooRi. @Nohamahmoud2002 I swap the headings around to have the English title first ya.
  21. This pre-release is so cute & does show grandma being ship captain!
