41 Forum and Re-grouping
Casual Chat｜Let’s Talk About Six Generations
I feel like the situation has changed in the sixth generation. Does anyone feel the same as me?
1L: Because which group is the one who was praised as “Purple Star” in?
2L: I wouldn’t dare to say that. Once someone breaks into the acting field, how can we compare to him?
3L: So, is he the only one from the sixth generation acting? Don't the others have voices? I remember Super's lead singer was also involved in TV dramas, wasn't he?
4L: Super can't compare. He was just a cameo at best, not the size of Cheol, the second male lead. No one in the sixth generation has ever gotten a script from a screenwriter of Kouhe Misook's stature. Even if he were in the fourth or fifth generation, his achievements would be impressive. There are plenty of idols from the second and third generations who have made the leap, but he can't compare.
5L: Someone is here to brag again. It seems that a certain group has become really successful. It’s great to have a big company. The water army comes so quickly.
6L: That drama is terrible. I don't understand why it's so popular. Don't they care about looks when filming these days? That guy has a rival in the same team, Liu Yanyi. Why don't they let him film? At least it's better for my eyes.
7L: There aren't many good Korean dramas these days. It's no longer the era of flourishing dramas, where even decent ones can be hyped up as masterpieces. The plots are just passable, but there's just too much domestic marketing, which is annoying.
8L: I'm very disappointed with Ha Mi-sook. Her previous scripts of this type, while not particularly good in plot, always put the focus on the female lead—truly female-centric idol dramas. This latest drama is clearly designed to promote the two male leads, with the female lead deliberately made to be overly clueless.
9L: It turns out that this is the only forum where you can find some truth. The Weibo and DouY apps are all full of praise, which makes me sick.
10L: Ye-young's acting is as good as ever, she's even better than those two thick-skinned men. I hope the director understands that you need to please the female audience! Ha Mi-sook's script is popular because the female lead is well-written!
11L: Wow, I thought it was a chat about the sixth generation when I saw the title, but when I came in I saw it was all about Che, this is really going to be popular.
12L: I think he's a dark horse, but Che was originally a nobody. Now he's become famous in this group because of his comeback success and the fact that a member played the second male lead in a hit drama. He's offended a lot of people, so it's normal for him to be criticized.
13L: I really believe in metaphysics now. Kaleido, kaleidoscope, the name just says big explosion. I feel like the name of this group was calculated by someone. Aren’t Koreans said to like fortune-telling? I guess they asked someone to calculate it.
14L: The situation has really changed for the sixth generation. Back when Cheol was still at a smaller company, he exploded with the song "Butterfly." After the acquisition, he was directly incorporated into M-Company, forming the fifth division. Although they were established the shortest, their comeback album released a few months later was of excellent quality, soaring up the music charts. And that's not all. The group's back-up album was directly tied to Ha Mi-sook's idol drama, and at current trends, it's at least a hit.
15L: After the above analysis, I think this group is quite extraordinary. They have seized opportunities several times. One time was a fluke, but two or three times proves that they have this luck.
16L: I look forward to Che and several other groups competing head-on. We can tell what they are like when we compare their audio sources.
17L: The above person thinks too highly of them. Super’s latest comeback ranked in the top 20 of the entire album, which is unprecedented. They should compare themselves with their “juniors” first.
18L: Am I the only one who noticed that the little one who showed up was actually the group's back? Sending back to film, this must be royalty.
19L: It was a comeback when he debuted, but it's not a comeback now. His last comeback was the fastest to reach 10,000 views in the group, and he was third in the group in terms of losing. Plus, he played the second male lead in this hit drama, so it's hard to say what he'll be like next time he returns.
20L: Then there will be a fight within the team. Don’t the other members have any idea in their minds?
21L: What a coincidence, the top guy in the group is a fool with no ambition.
22L: I’m digressing. Hello, please come out and analyze the situation of the sixth generation for us.
...
117L: My goodness, this building is full of black people, some of them really don’t even want to act anymore.
118L: Koreans say that the dramas they like are rated just passing by you, so why don’t you recommend me a good one? Our Xiao Hu Che has really offended the whole world.
119L: Since his last comeback, there have been more and more negative comments about Che. What a shame! Che has absolutely no negative information at all, not even rumors of plastic surgery. He's just a natural, harmless, handsome guy. The group has a great atmosphere and a strong team spirit. Watching the live broadcast the day before yesterday showed how close the members are.
…
I joined the crew again to shoot episodes 5-6. The plot has progressed to the point where Fang Xiyu finds Meng Tingtai and Jiang Zhu getting closer and closer and feels very uncomfortable. At the same time, he also notices Meng Tingtai's hesitation...
The high-ranking CEO, Fang Xiyu, is completely bored. His employees both respect and fear him, his lackeys continue to flatter him, and his half-brother constantly tests his limits in the business world. None of this catches Fang Xiyu's attention.
Bored, Fang Xiyu went to a bar, but he couldn't stand the women sticking to him, and even more so the chaotic atmosphere of the bar. He also tried to find his friends before going abroad, but they had long since changed their ways. After only half a glass of wine, Fang Xiyu couldn't stand it and left.
Fang Xiyu, who had no family, friends or lover, felt lonely in this familiar city, so he turned his attention to the only ups and downs he had ever encountered in his life.
He lingered outside Jiangjia Malatang, taking in the situation inside. Then, unexpectedly, he saw his employee, Meng Tingtai, an intern from Seoul National University, dining inside. The fierce female boss personally brought him a bowl and smiled at him like a flower.
Meng Tingtai's lips gradually tightened, and anyone could see that he was unhappy.
Jiang Zhu spoke to Meng Tingtai happily. She was very grateful to Meng Tingtai for standing up for her that day and her favor for him doubled. So under Zhixi's playful gaze, she came out of the kitchen to greet Meng Tingtai in person.
Meng Tingtai was also in a good mood. Jiang Zhu wasn't the relentless type of girl who would chase him around like some other girls. Her way of showing gratitude was to bring him soups she'd cooked and try out new dishes, never lingering afterward. She was a very gentle and kind girl, and wouldn't let her affection burden him.
However, the girl who was gentle and kind in Meng Tingtai's eyes changed her expression after seeing a figure outside the store.
Although she was extremely reluctant to face someone, she couldn't turn away customers when she was open for business. Then Jiang Zhu walked out.
Fang Xiyu originally wanted to just take a quick look and leave, but for some reason, he changed his mind. Facing the store manager's murderous gaze, Fang Xiyu walked into "Jiang's Spicy Hot Pot".
Fang Xiyu wiped the greasy table and stool with disgust and sat down with a frown.
Little did he know that this action only made Jiang Zhu dislike him even more. Her table was custom-made from pure wood, and the shine it gave wasn't from rinsing, but from a layer of wax. Fang Xiyu's actions clearly showed his disdain for her shop. Recalling Fang Xiyu's words from the day of the conflict, Jiang Zhu's impression of him plummeted even further.
But she still smiled and greeted him: "What would you like to eat, sir? Scan the QR code and order by yourself."
Fang Xiyu was a very smart man, and he had already sensed that Jiang Zhu didn't like him. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Is there a menu?"
Jiang Zhu grinned and said, "Self-service, scan the code, and order your meal~"
Fang Xiyu also smiled. He looked at Meng Tingtai's bowl of spicy hot pot on the table next to him, which was very rich with meat and vegetables, and pointed at it and said, "I want the same as his."
Jiang Zhu's smile froze. The portion on Meng Tingtai's table was one she had specially prepared for him, with double the vegetables and meat. Fang Xiyu, this guy, was really against her.
Jiang Zhu replied woodenly, "That's the honey deluxe version we offer. It's not on the menu, so you have to pay extra for it."
Fang Xiyu nodded and said, "That's what I want."
"Okay, so how spicy would you like it? Mild, medium, or extra spicy?"
Fang Xiyu blinked, gave a mischievous smile, and said, "Exactly the same as his."
Back in the kitchen, Jiang Zhu was so angry that she was spinning around. When Zhixi finished making the spicy hot pot, she came up with a plan and took out the secret chili sauce with an evil smile. That smile made Yingzai next to her terrified, as if the witch in the fairy tale drugged the princess!
Bored, Fang Xiyu observed the restaurant's layout. Hmm, the tables and chairs were placed too close together, which wasn't conducive to the customer's dining experience. There were no clear menu signs, making it difficult for customers to order. And... no wonder business was so bad.
The picky Fang Xiyu made some comments on the store's furnishings in his mind, and finally reluctantly praised the store's only redeeming feature, which was that it was relatively clean.
Fang Xiyu's gaze finally stopped on Meng Tingtai at the next table. When he entered the restaurant, Meng Tingtai was already having his meal, but now he stopped and stared blankly at the table, as if thinking about something.
Fang Xiyu began to doubt the personnel management team's judgment, wondering if they had hired a fool.
While they were secretly gossiping, Meng Tingtai suddenly stopped. He ate the rice in his bowl in a few mouthfuls, gave Fang Xiyu a polite smile, and quickly left.
Jiang Zhu, who came out with the plate of food herself, was disappointed to find that Meng Tingtai had left, and only the hateful Fang Xiyu was left in the store.
Putting down the plate heavily, Jiang Zhu showed a kind smile: "Please enjoy your lunch slowly."
As he turned around, the smile turned into an extremely evil smile.
Fang Xiyu frowned and looked at the red and green spicy hot pot on the plate with a bit of disgust.
He went abroad at the age of 10 and had already developed a British stomach. After returning to China, he was very uncomfortable with the local diet, so he hired a Michelin chef to cook food for him at home at regular times and locations.
The bowl of cheap flavored food in front of him was something Fang Xiyu had never come across before, just like this woman. If it weren't for the last accident, he might never have met her in his life.
But Fang Xiyu unexpectedly wanted to try it. He picked up a piece of green vegetable covered with red oil and put it into his mouth carefully. Then...
A loud cough suddenly broke out in the hall, and Jiang Zhu bent over with laughter in the kitchen.
Fang Xiyu's snow-white face turned red, and tears from choking hung on her long eyelashes.
It was too spicy, a horrible spicy smell went straight to the top of my head.
Fang Xiyu fainted from the spiciness.
【Author’s words】
This drama is set up as a light comedy, and since it's a Korean drama, it's a bit exaggerated. If you don't like the main character's character, don't force yourself.
Paid collection of fan names [covering face and peeking] I really can’t think of any.
