@AnnaAnthro @Sollenbum it's more like this is typical xianxia aesthetic. I am still apprehensive as I just have very bad luck with this genre - I disliked almost all the popular dramas in this category lol
@liztai @AnnaAnthro @Sollenbum *whispers* Fangs of Fortune...
@Katztronaut @AnnaAnthro @Sollenbum unfortunately.... I don't like it
@liztai @AnnaAnthro @Sollenbum Oh nooooo!
@Katztronaut @AnnaAnthro @Sollenbum lol it's really typical of me. I tend to dislike dramas that are popular for some reason. Didn't like The Double either. For me, it's crucial that I like the acting. If I don't like it, I usually avoid the entire drama
@liztai @Katztronaut @AnnaAnthro It’s good to have an idea of what you like
That said, I’m liking “Kill Me Love Me” much more than I thought I would at the beginning. It started off in full melodrama mode, but it has settled into something much better. Liu Xueyi has really come into his own in 2024. Hope he will be offered good parts in the future.
@Sollenbum I am glad he's getting main leading roles now because he's played supporting roles for far too long. (4 dramas of his where he is main lead, aired this year.) He deserves his time in the sun. There are some dramas of his that I am looking forward to such as A moment but forever and The Princess's Gambit. @Katztronaut @AnnaAnthro
@liztai @Katztronaut @AnnaAnthro He has certainly paid his dues. So glad that he is able to flex his acting muscles more now…
@liztai @AnnaAnthro @Sollenbum Personally, I think it's good that everybody has different tastes and likes different things, otherwise the creative landscape would be very small and boring! ^^
I don't really care if a drama is popular or not, I'm only starting to notice these things atm. I go after what visuals I like and if I think the story has potential most.
What I like about Fangs of Fortune are the stunning visuals, and they haven't slaughtered the story... yet... :P I think the acting is good quality, not top scores from everyone but most are really good. Costume & make-up people did a REALLY good job, I love the look. Except maybe for Zhuo Yi Chen's Rhinestone Cowboy outfit.
@Katztronaut I think I would've been more receptive to it during a drier period lol. Kill Me Love Me is a very tough act to follow in terms of acting, so my brain would rebel lol. But yea the great thing about Cdramas is that theres such a great variety to choose from! @AnnaAnthro @Sollenbum
