  1. CW: Fate Chooses You, spoiler plus naming and shaming, caps

    I found a new trope that makes me nope out. Usually I keep negative criticism to myself - I see no reason to focus on stuff that tend to pop up in Western fiction too

    BUT

    This is both bad storytelling - it's an illogical move that achieves so little no one with a brain should chose it - and _unfresh_. It's a majestic overstep no romance should survive - no matter how just desert the ml get.

  5. I live in IKEA land (Sweden), and while the furniture megalodon has its advantages, it sucks at lamp design - in my eyes. Unfortunately they also set the tone for every affordable fixture in this land. I have rarely encountered a lamp I liked - maybe due to me falling in love with palace lanterns when I was ~4yrs. So excuse me while froth at the mouth for a while because to the left we have The Mother Of All Palace Lanterns! Aaaaaaaah!!!

  9. Every production has a few signature visuals. Palette choice is a standard, though few dramas go as far as Moonlight Mystique*, differences in costume decoration another. Here's one of Fate Chooses You's; bold camera angles. I wouldn't be surprised if this drama is based on a manhua and it's an inheritance from the comics format. Here's our 2nd couple feeling small while big and justified things are happening upstairs.

  13. First of all; if he's 'bai' (white), why is he all dressed in black?

    Second: Di Fei Sheng? Here?

    Actors _are_ allowed to take more than one role, I know, but in my mind some of them get stuck on the first one I saw them in. I'm not sure how many episodes it'll take to rewire my brain - worst case scenario I'll have to invent an elaborate AU for this dude _and_ Riley Wang.

  17. Colours play a large role in Fate Choses You, and that means...

    *notices the lamp to the left*

    *starts pondering different ways a DIY version would project light*

    *briefly wonders how the lamp is related to palace lanterns*

    *forces herself back on track*

    ...that the production put a lot of thought in how it uses colours. Note the yellow/brown/green/blue palette here. Bright, yet neither childish nor garish. A+!

  21. I can't help but thinking this should be a scene in Petal Boys. That flower is obviously the little petunia that always gets distracted by a new hobby, right before she makes her breakthrough in her cultivation and assumes human form.

    How _do_ you pitch a C-drama to C-drama land btw? Asking for a friend...

  25. This production is blessed with
    A: a good storyboard artist
    B: a director and set designers who follow through.

    Having the emperor on a podium is standard, and usually he is posed like he mesh with it. Here instead everything serves to underscore how small the person on the throne is; the gigantic dragon wall, that he slumps behind the table like a toddler, and Lu in the foreground, several steps below, looking down(!) on him.

  29. This actor does _not_ know how to toot a flute! I am disapoint!

    (I took lessons in transverse flute as a kid. It's not an easy instrument, but if the The Untamed production could teach Xiao Zhan how to get a tone, then no other company has any excuses. Granted, Xiao is a singer and probably not a stranger to playing instruments, but... [100 toot rant] ...so _there_!)
