I am really liking the direction of love like a galaxy! I think this is zhao lusi’s best role yet. What are your thoughts on it so far?

i think the direction is mostly decent honestly one of the major issues for me watching cdramas is editing and direction bc the general standard is super inconsistent (comparitively to k or jdramas) afaiw so its kinda rare for me to watch a cdrama where story, direction AND editing come together perfectly so as long as its not taking me out of the story im not mad and for LLTG other than a few moments here and there i think its overall fine now that ive had a few eps to settle into it.

i was so right for LLTG to be one of my most anticipated dramas like i don't think its gonna win any awards for its writing and its pretty formulaic but im having fun with it for what it is and it hasn't let me down with its premiere. i think out of everything the drama rly nails its comedic moments and it very much focuses on its female lead's story so bonus for that.

this might just be a personal expectations vs reality issue but i was hoping for a bit more subtley and nuance? but its super straightforward almost to the point where it feels a bit too on the nose for me? i feel like a lot of the dialogue and situations are repetitive esp. in terms of niao niao and her mom's relationship. eg. niao niao constantly mentioning how unfortunate her situation is and how unlucky she is. as a viewer I GET IT!!!!!! i've been able to get a feel for how fucked up her childhood was and how it fucked her up in the process. it was fine the first couple of times but now im starting to roll my eyes when its said over and over again like i wish u woukd just let me read between the lines instead of spelling it out for me everytime. i rly think the writers need to be a little more subtle when it comes to the dialogue like when they create situations to show how much of an outcast niao niao is and feels in her family/out in society, i don't need her to constantly reiterate the point by talking abt how unlucky she is and how she had no one to teach her and how her mom hates her I'VE SEEN ALL THAT AND ITS ALL BEEN MENTIONED B4 ALREADY!!!! and it starts to get annoying when im supposed to feel bad for her. im not an idiot and its easy to make me feel for her if the scenes just focused on her reactions and then peppered in her thoughts that reflected her disappointment/lack of affection. even with the mom, at this point u can make a shot game with the number of times she says that ONE SPECIFIC LINE abt yang yang being better than niao niao like its getting tiring pls 😑 at least show some variety in her dissatisfaction with niao niao.

also i was rly hoping for an interesting mother daughter dynamic and maybe just even a little more insight into the mom on being forced to separate from her infant daughter her entire life to come home to this stranger that she doesn't approve of. i wouldn't mind her disapproval and could look at her cruelty towards niao niao from a more critical(?)/understanding perspective IF i could see more conflict and range in her feelings towards niao niao esp. when she learns her daughter was esssentially abused her entire life but rn its just so 1D (even though we can see glimpses of her.......affection for niao niao her disapproval is just so overwhelmingly cruel towards her abused, love starved daughter) so super disappointed there it rly could've been so delicious 😔 if there was a balance btw loving her daughter but also not knowing how to love the person she's become plus dealing with the guilt of being unintentionally complicit in her abuse by abandoning her (also!!! i feel like neither of her parents really address or understand her experience with the severity of having to grow up in that house as an abandoned child under her aunt and grandmother as abuse and just that "she wasn't taught well". like if i came back after years to my child in that state i would've burned that house to the ground).

for the romance i still remain of the opinion that i would've liked someone slightly more mature looking as the general BUT after having had time to sit with wu lei in the role i love his take on the "only soft for his love interest" trope. plus he looks so good together with lusi its a win for me. i love one woman men i love men who will devote everything they are to their wife (actually i respect the writers for writing in so many wife men in this drama). i haven't watched all of lusi's projects so idk if i can say this is her best and qian qian from tiger and rose will always have a special place in my heart but this will def go down as one of my stand outs from her like im soooo interested in her potential as an actress cos she's literally only 23??? so curious to see how her career is going to pan out and what kind of roles she's gonna do.

#i meant to sit down and write something a bit more coherent and organised re. my thoughts #but my computer crashed and i prefer writing long-ish answers on it #so sorry if this is sort of rambly #lltg

okay so I watched the 3 first twilight movies in like a super serious and open mind because I was tired of the Internet shitting on it and like laughing abt it and I somehow agreed with it cuz I read some stuff and was like yeah this movie is cringe.

but if I ever want to be a hater. I have to be an educated one at least, right?

well. I'm not a hater anymore. I feel like a scientist observing a creature in its natural habit with utter fascination if that even makes sense.

I understand why people dislike it in a way.

but to me, it's obvious that Bella needs some serious help. and she needs to talk to more people instead of vampires/werewolves. like nobody knows wtf is going on with her.

and she does have the personality of a wet paper towel. it doesn't bother me that much but its kinda funny because I don't seem to understand why Jacob and Edward want her so bad, I don't get it.

she is beautiful tho. very beautiful 💙

Also I feel so bad for Charlie, man. He's trying so hard to be good for his daughter while she ends up in life threatening situations every time she's around the Cullens. If I was Charlie I would lose my fucking mind and force Bella to move away from whatever the hell is going on (but like he won't cuz obviously she won't go and it will create a huge fight and blah blah blah)

Also! my fave character is Alice. I love seeing her do her thing, like being all nice n bubbly! I'm so used to seeing like 'cold and cool' vampires. so she's great to watch, shes so fun and CUTEE!!!! and she's super cute as well with Jasper. who btw, is so fucking funny for no reason, I lose it everytime he's just standing there like 🧍‍♀️

and his face looks like this 🟡👄🟡

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ☝️ I herby announce that I am #TeamJacob! 🐺

im a bit biased cuz I always liked werewolves more than vampires cuz they're more like warmer in a sense. I don't want to wear a coat while sleeping with my fridge husband sorry ladies 😔

Like even before watching it, I knew that no matter how annoying Edward or Jacob could be, I'd prefer Jacob. even if he wears jean and cargo shorts 😝

(and now I'm very invested in the story thank you very much. everyday after work I watch one movie 👌)
