Love of Nirvana

A Script of Nonsense.

In just the first few episodes you can kiss any sense goodbye.

ML#1 (Wei Zhao) attempts to kill FL (Jiang Ci) 3 times and ML#2 (Pei Yan) saves FL 3 times.
ML#2 is trying to catch ML#1. FL can help easily but decides not to.
They not even in a close relationship at this stage.
In FL's perspective there is a clearly defined good guy(saves her), and bad guy(kills her).
FL knows if she wants to leave the protection of ML#2, she needs to say what she knows and help catch ML#1. But she doesn't.
She has every reason to be against ML#1. Every reason to help ML#2.
FL can even setup a trap with how frequently ML#1 likes to invade ML#2's Home. LOL.

Setting aside the bizarre notion to romanticize "Stockholm syndrome" and manipulation/torture of FL, the script just doesn't make sense right from the beginning.

Emotionally Stressful And Pathetic Love

I think this series should not be rated high because the story is emotionally stressful and it really condemns women by romanticizing the suffering of women. Why should Jiang Ci have to go through so many turmoils in the hands of this so called morally ambiguous Wei Zhao just to earn his love, like seriously. This series should not have been a romance, it should have been just a political intrigue with bromance or even mutual respect among leads.
LON is really romanticizing to the audience about what love is and what a woman should do to be loved. The same happened in TSOPG the female lead had to go through a lot of physical and emotional pain from the male lead, Pei Zijing before she earned his love and sometimes even respect. I get it that Wei Zhao hates Liang but that doesn't give him any right whatsoever to hurt someone to that extent. It is very clear that he is cruel. But the outcome of Jiang Ci and his relationship makes Jiang Ci out to be pathetic and hollow.
Overall Love Of Nirvana is not worth the watch and the hype.

The last few drama for Jeremy Tsui

I am watching this because of Jeremy Tsui and Li Landi. I love both these two actors.
The beginning is interesting though still somewhat slow … I believe CP is Ren JL and Li Landi.
I really like what I see of Jeremy Tsui thus far …
Wei Zhao (REN) seemed to be the nephew of the emperor as his mother was the emperor’s sister. Likely some conspiracy that implicate the Emperor…. Pei Yan ( Jeremy) is a Lord who seemed to be entrusted with managing some talk with another neighboring country…
However, during the talk, Wei Zhao tried to kidnap or believed to try to assassinate the delegate for talks nd was foiled by Li Landi ‘s character, more a wrong place at wrong time situation….

There is a lot of angst and fights between the 2 MLs and FLs in the first 10-12 episodes. Initially, 1st ML and FL fought quite furiously… until about ep 14/15 where their relationships became closer due to common case interests. Ep 17 has got to be the highlight of all the episodes I watched thus far….the dynamics between FL changes from being supportive of Pei Yan to Commander Wei. I do like how nuanced the interactions are between all 3 leads … I see Jeremy Tsui and REN’s role as both leads … there is a “reverse “ harem with the doctor, Wei Zhao and Pei Yan all liking FL ( Li Landi’s role)…

Definitely a good drama to watch … the story and characters all have complex personalities and nuanced storytelling…

Un beau jeu d'échecs

Les 20 premiers épisodes sont brillants ils méritent du 11/10 ! Des joueurs d'échecs très forts, perturbés par une variable inconnue, intelligente elle aussi !
Les 20 suivants sont plus lents et il y a moins de calculs.
La production est énorme, il y a de belles scènes de guerre, et les acteurs sont tous excellents.
La romance ne se voit pas du tout, pas de bisous langoureux donc, mais des jeux de regards, et pour "la nuit de noces" une image des quatres bottes côte à cote près du lit..
J'aurais mis 10 si la fin était bonne, mais ils aiment des fin à la "till the end of the moon", des fins bien tristes, avec une femme seule avec un bébé.

O roteiro não é ruim, mas a maneira em que o casal principal se conhece é questionável, como é possível se apaixonar por alguém que lhe apunha-la 'a primeira vista'? Algumas vezes os roteiristas/escritores testam a paciência daqueles que vão ler/assistir suas criações. Tirando algumas incongruências do roteiro e algumas falhas da direção, o drama é muito bom, principalmente, graças ao elenco que entregou atuações brilhantes. Os personagens são dúbios, mas gostáveis, fazendo com que ora torçamos por um, ora por outro. Não é apenas um roteiro sobre intriga e luta por poder, mas sobre o quanto cada um está disposto a perder para garantir a segurança e o bem estar do outro. A direção poderia ter se esmerado um pouco mais para dar uma finalização que estivesse a altura do drama, mas, mesmo assim, ficou bem emocionante. O 'gato sem vergonha' é aquele personagem que deixará saudade e será lembrado por muito tempo.

El primer ML es psicópata. No es broma.

Es un sádico que lastima a la FL sin ninguna razón en absoluto. Es demasiado espeluznante y demente pensar que esos dos son la pareja principal. ¡Me da escalofríos! En cada episodio él es violento con ella. No aporta nada a la trama.
Casi mata a la FL al menos 3 veces, la apuñaló, la envenenó, la torturó, la ahogó con agua. Y ella decide hacerle papilla a cambio.
Tambien hay muchas inconsistencias en la historia, me surgen interrogantes:
¿Por qué la chica es experta en intrigas y tácticas, aunque fue criada en aislamiento? ¿Por qué la chica se preocupa por la autoconservación pero se niega a renunciar al extraño que no conoce y que está tratando activamente de matarla? ¿Por qué le tiene miedo un momento y al siguiente está alegre y animada?
¿Por qué traicionaría al hombre que la salvó solo para proteger al hombre que la quiere muerta?
El ML puede entrar en la mansión fuertemente custodiada del Marqués cuando quiera, pero ¿corre el riesgo de que la chica a la que intentó matar cuatro veces espíe para él?
Lo lamento mucho porque los actores son brillantes, pero qué desilusión este drama, es muy frustrante. Basta para mi.
