Story was slow 🐌 and directing/editing seems off until about ep12.. then it keeps picking up! The last 20+ episodes have been a wild ride and I'm here for every minute of it!!! This would have been a masterpiece if the story was better paced with better story telling in the first 10 episodes. But I'm so glad i stayed for it!!!
The man with black mask looks like Kaiyan’s posture.
And notice how he egged Yiren to ask Qiushui for thechangge sword, knowing full well QS will not hand it over. Hence yiren will be pissed off and work for R.
My blood pressure do be going up getting pissed off by Yiren in ep24.. can Xiao Qiushui please just lock him up in the woodshed or something until ep40 so we don't have to watch him??
I think he'll be the next big thing. He has a very magnetic screen presence and solid acting foundation. Hopefully he has a good agency that can propel him forward.
I’ll be doing the same thing as you, Ffwing him. Unnecessary dumbass and no redemption arc; he’s fucked up…
Has beens, indeed!!! Lol 👏 👏 👏 also, shouldn't they be looking for their parents' bodies??? Instead, they're busy trying to rebuild their fame/wealth. Pathetic!!!
Legit had to fast forward Yiren's grovelling, self righteous, blaming everyone else scenes. That character didn't need more screen time. How despicable even considering marrying his sister off for a so called alliance. Like no, you'll just give away the last shred of dignity and value you have. Meanwhile, no one knows that Xiao Qiushui is healed and has immense internal power and is the holder of the sword, which makes him the sect leader.
Yiren was not even there when the family came under attack and instead of blaming himself for not arriving sooner, he put all the blame on Qiushui for letting Liu Suifeng into the home. This character is detestable and they better write him off or give him a redemption arc because he's really getting on my nerves!!!
There is too much not to like in the first 12 episodes of this drama that I decided to piece together the things…
I'm actually not sure what happened with the directing as its the same director as Mysterious Lotus Case book and all that show was way more cohesive, the actors had a lot more chemistry too. Maybe its the cast? So far it's Cheng Yi and Xu Zhen Xuan holding up the drama with their chemistry. I'm not getting a sense of much comradery from any of the allies and many of the emotional scenes of the side actors feel forced... The show has really improved from eps 12 onwards so i really hope it will be upwards and onwards from here.
He is a scholar, that's why he admires her talents and courage. He also feels smth tragic about her constant gender-crossing,…
Yesss!!! He definitely has what we call in psychology- transference towards He Yan. He is reminded of his mum's suffering through her - and wants to "save" her as he wasnt able to save his mum. But i think he's not without hope- he sees himself for who he really is, told his assistant that since he chose this path,there is no need to pretend to be a good person/justify his actions. At least he's honest. I hope to see some character growth here, I think he's a troubled soul who isnt inherently bad but is just trying to find his place in this wicked world.
The way I'm interpreting Chu Zhao's character and why he likes He Yan, is because he admires her strength, her talents and her courage to take a different path to most women. His own mother was mistreated and he received no protection and was cruelly treated by his own family. At the same time, he can't let He Yan fight her own way but wants to pave the way for her through scheming in politics. He still deep down believes that women need men for protection. He admires He Yan but doesn't truly get her.
Our Xiao Dudu on the other hand, said He Yan can fight 10 soliders at once at Jiyang to prove that she can lead them as a woman 😂😂 I love him so much for that- he respects He Yan fully as a comrade and equal partner. It's just what He Yan has always wanted, they are the true perfect match ❤️❤️❤️ its giving me Who Rules The World Bai/Hei Fengxi vibes so much and I'm 100% here for it!!!
Guysss its an adaptation of the novel. Just like you know when they film a show "BASED ON" true story... of course they can't capture everything as per the novel.. Can we please just watch the show for what it is and not keep on referring to the novel.. .
She was so sad when she said she always played other people her whole life. Then Commander called her name and…
And how she asked why he was so nice to her that day. He said it was because it's her birthday. It was the first time she celebrated her birthday ever 💔 as He Yan, not He Rufei.. i feel like i have to rewatch this episode now 😭
