#hiddenlove — Public Fediverse posts

@spudley apologies for butting in so late after your toot, but I'm watching #HereWeMeetAgain at the moment and agree with your comments about the subs. They're not the worst #CDrama subs I've seen but the nuance is definitely off. Wu Xian is making me love her all over again, though 😀

Also totally agree with your views on #HiddenLove, loved that show. And the scene where the FL verbally shut down stalker girl showed GOOD subs

Been watching a lot of #cdramas recently and the odd #jdrama. Finished #HiddenLove #HereWeMeetAgain and #BokunoDaisukinaTsuma!


Boku no Daisuki na Tsuma! - Was a super cute adaption. I actually read some of the manga, so I was stoked when I found the live action show. The interactions between MC/FMC were always hilarious and loving. Wish the show was longer but there's only 6 volumes of source material, not sure how much they burned through.

The biggest thing that bothered me was how they portrayed the relationship start and the "surprise" of the adhd diagnosis. In the jdrama they are married with seemingly no to little explained relationship and then the diagnosis is very briefly disbelieved by MC as not possible. Which isn't how it's introduced in the manga afaik. Didn't ruin the show for me, but was an annoying start.

Hidden Love - There's a reason why this cdrama is so highly rated, beautiful show and romance. Very much a slow burn, but it pays off. The age gap was well handled imo and they address it in plot a couple times as well. As expected the show had typical chinese tropes but they were reasonably dealt with, which showed character growth along with MC overcoming prejudice and adversity. Leads had great chemistry.

Here We Meet Again - I watched this right after finishing Hidden Love as I needed a not so slow burn romance and was tired of 2 back to back college romance cdramas (The Best of You in My Mind). It delivered for me. Loads of tropes, but the laughs and corporate revenge made up for it. 3 things took away from the show for me though, 1) some of the product placement was rough and super obvious/outlandish. 2) HEAVY propaganda for BeiDou/BDNSS, there were many multi-minute long spiels/speeches about it when it was only tangentially related to the topic at hand or felt really out of place at that particular moment. 3) Maybe the subs I had were not the greatest, but some of the conflicts between MC/FMC were not properly explained. Which made for some awkward conflict towards the end of the show(MC becoming CTO, and then the emergency funding woes/refunds). That closing scene at the government office was hilarious though.
