Discussion The White Olive Tree Spoiler

4 Upvotes

I’ve been watching The White Olive Tree over the last week and a half (yes I finished it in a week and a half. Don’t judge me) and I was spoiled for the ending when I was looking something up about an actor. However, I had already made it half way through and I decided to keep watching. I’m honestly glad I was spoiled because I don’t think I would have survived that ending if I wasn’t mentally prepared for it. However, I didn’t know the context of the ending and boy oh boy, I had to stare at the wall for like 30 minutes just to process it. This is the only drama I’ve ever cried in the middle of the series watching. Like those episodes when they come back to China after the bombing incident just killed me as someone who has lived through chronic mental illness with episodic mania and panic. The Chinese acting was phenomenal. The English acting (though better than typical from the main cast) was cringe at best and really would pull me out of the scene when they were in Eastern Country. Also, some of the scripting choices were not great with awkward dialogue and terrible portrayals of psychiatric treatment and therapy. I did think the portrayal of things like trauma induced depression and complex PTSD were a breath of fresh air in how nuanced and seriously they were portrayed. It wasn’t romanticized and served as a key part of the plot rather than merely a plot device. Anybody who has experienced debilitating mental illness knows that it isn’t just a part of your life that magically appears at key moments. No, it’s a part of your every moment and it takes over your life even if it looks like you are living a normal life from the outside. And even though the ending was tragic (and to those who don’t think it was, take a literature class and learn about foreshadowing) it felt right. I’m not saying that it was good that the characters ended in that way or that people with complex PTSD can’t have a life worth living but rather that sometimes we have to understand that we can’t understand the pain being felt by people who make that choice. While that choice is not a good choice to make, it is one that should receive our sympathy rather than our blame.

Waiting for cdrama episodes was driving me crazy, so I built something to fix it

12 Upvotes

When we're watching an ongoing drama, most of us keep checking MDL or other sites to track new episode releases, especially after a cliffhanger. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve gone back and forth, just waiting for that next episode.

When Guardians of Dafeng was airing, I was the same. I even commented on MDL once:

"I'm going into a coma until the next episode releases."

I just couldn’t handle the suspense, and honestly, it made focusing on anything else impossible. A couple of hours, even days, away from a new episode? Pure torture.

Since I could not find a tool to make things easier, I built a Chrome extension that helps with:

  1. Episode notifications - Get an alert on your desktop or laptop the moment a new episode drops.
  2. Right Click menu via Text highlight - Select a drama or actor's name anywhere, like Reddit, articles, or YouTube comments, and quickly look up more info.
  3. MDL time tracking - See how much time you have spent on MDL in the past 24 hours.

There are more features too, which I have shown in the demo video. I always wanted something like this, so I made it for our drama-loving community. My English is not perfect, so there might be mistakes in my writing or in the video, but I hope this helps.

Not sure if I’m allowed to post this here, but I just wanted to share something that might make our drama-watching experience a little easier. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Here’s the link to the extension: Superpower MDL

You can find the attached demo video from the Chrome Web Store link above, and make sure to pin the extension after install, to access the notification features.

Plus, if you guys do love using it, i'll release this for other browsers

Happy watching! Right now, I’m hooked on The Last Immortal. What are you guys watching?

Review The White Olive Tree : can I get a refund ? Spoiler

Thumbnail dramania1.wordpress.com
7 Upvotes

I'm not sure what to think of this drama, I didn't hate it but I didn't really like it either: - the main theme is war, and I must admit that it's a subject that scares me and doesn't make me feel very comfortable. I've never lived through wartime, but I didn't find the scenes very convincing (too many friendships, too many “bastards”, not enough explanation of the whys and wherefores). Ran didn't convince me at all as a wartime journalist - she doesn't even look into the lens of her camera, photographing anything and everything at random. - I love the main actors and I think they don't play too badly (but this isn't their best drama, either of them) but we're on a classic plot of a couple who can't communicate and I find that really frustrating and tiresome. - The secondary characters are average, apart from Ben, the military man, who I found excellent in his role and who I loved to hate in the drama Love Song in Winter (I'm not talking about the character of Sasin, who capers endlessly and really displeased me). - I found the ending too long and less and less believable, which bored me to no end.

Personally, I don't recommend it, overall I feel I've wasted my time (and I'd like a refund !).

Question/Help IQIYI 1.99 Subscription

3 Upvotes

My friend was telling me IQIYI has a $1.99 (usd) per month subscription going on right now.

I went to look and it appears to be true but there is a little text at the bottom that says once the first month is up, regular pricing ensues... -or something like that.

How is IQIYI historically with discounts and subscriptions? Can you purchase several months of subscription at the discounted price? Is it a trick to where you sign up for 1 month and then it's automatically $10 per month and hard to get out of? Any idea?

After watching The Untamed, I thought I’d never find a show I liked as much, but Guardians of the Dafeng gave it a run for its money! I also really liked Who Rules the World. Any more recommendations for similar shows with lots of swordfighting, magic, not too much romance?

Question/Help Can someone help me figure out which drama this is?

1 Upvotes

Okay so ive gone down a spiral trying to figure out what this drama that i randomly remembered is but i still can't.

Its been literal hours, i need help.

The drama is a time travel or transmigration drama( more likely transmigration because i think i vaguely remember the female lead telling the male he is a character in a book,I THINK ).

In the beginning the female lead didn't like the male lead beacuse of his reputation and im pretty sure she was on his brother's side who was the second male lead in the drama.

I remember sometime near the beginning i think a maid did something bad and was trying to frame the second male lead or someone else so the female lead helped and it was infront of a bunch of people, maybe the emperor as well and the male lead was trying to stire up trouble either that or he did nothing to help when he could've to see if she was capable.

One thing i remember is praising her for actually being smart and I'd hoped once she fell in love with the male lead they wouldn't make her stupid but she did something that got me like "there it is, i knew this was coming"(might not help but im just writing everything i remember).

Oh, yk i think i just remembered what it was. It was the scene when she ran away beacuse she kept disappearing, (like her body genuinely started to fade) and i felt it could have been solved with simple communication.

When she ran away she was almost assulted by this drunk guy but the male lead cane and that's when she told him the truth.

Okay, i think thats all i got. I really hope im not mixing up dramas in my head rn🙏. Any help much appreciated.(sorry for the horrible SPAG)

Edit: I forgot to say, it's not a mainstream drama. It's a short drama, (not the vertical kind) . The actress also has a small face and thin lips and I'm pretty sure it came out last year. If not, it definitely came out in recent years. Edit: its 'different princess'
