Ep 43 ended on a high with the passionate and sizzling kiss between Yi Jie and Wei Xiang and it appeared that Yi Jie could no longer deny feeling something for Wei Xiang after responding rather enthusiastically to his kiss, in front of an audience no less. So expectations were understandably high for what was to follow but the remainder of their ( Read more... )

LJ was wacky for the past couple of days, so I'm reposting the posts I did on wordpress.

首先想要说的…竟然是雁妮和客凡。他们的部分我一般会快进因为实在受不了雁妮的自以为是。就像她自己说的，她做的种种都是为了对方好，我也相信她是出于一片好意，但是被强加在身上的‘关心’往往反而是负担。当然这并不构成老公出轨的理由，但是一段感情/婚姻是需要双方一起经营的，而雁妮却一直没有意思要理解客凡所表达的情绪，所以我大多时间是同情客凡。

Yep, awkward English title there. The title in Chinese translates more to 'true love comes looking for trouble' and not only does 'Inborn Pair' not reflect any of that, it sounds more like something for a Korean horror movie. Initially I thought it was an idol drama but turns out it's a daily drama with a planned run of 80 episodes (45 min each). I ( Read more... )
