This is better then SSK scandal. I dropped the SSK in korean version...(josei wasn’t my genre)but when this…
I disagree Kezia. While 'In a Class of Her Own' hasn't finished yet, IMHO I've found Sungkyunkwan Scandal to be the better story plotted and scripted drama. I think for two reasons. First - the lack of cat noises. The cat noises in this current series is too gimmicky for my tastes and I find it destroys my immersion in the story while watching. Second - no Chinese censorship means that they were able to be more loose with the phrasing and issues used in their script.
That said I do agree the visuals/set design in this current series are better eye candy.
My ghad it takse 1 week to wait another episode.Im dying to wait.
Dance of the Phoenix just started this past weekend on WeTV. The few episodes so far are good. Also, have you watched 'The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty' from earlier this year?
Edit: I have to say, while I'm enjoying 'In a Class of Her Own', I've found the original 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal' superior in it's general storytelling/layout (and lack of cat noises). I've been re-watching a few of my favorite episodes of that original series in between the weekly releases of this current series.
Oh never mind. I took the time to look up 'upani', and apparantly it's a name of phillipino origin which means…
Stating an opinion once, maybe twice is one thing. Being spiteful towards a person/group repeatedly, keeping on coming back and doing it over and over again is something psychological.
You ask me why I attack her. Why aren't you asking why she (? assuming female) attacks this production. Repeatedly. Again and again. If she's simply stating an opinion it's one thing. Fine, she hates this production, states as such, then moves on.
Whatever.
But no, not in this case. Here she keeps coming back to hammer more nails in this coffin she's crafting.
At first I assumed she was an individual bearing a grudge against Xu Kai because maybe he didn't sign an autograph or something, but in subsequent comments she's been repeatedly negative (not a whisper of anything positive) over and over again, not just against the one actor but against the production as a whole.
There's something psychologically off with her. I made the comment above to call her out on it.
You want to defend her 'opinion'. Fine, well this is my opinion of her. Why don't you defend my right to an opinion too?
This drama is borefest. I dont know why they make drama boring with bad story bad actors.
Oh never mind. I took the time to look up 'upani', and apparantly it's a name of phillipino origin which means 'heart of steel', so your handle moodupani liternally means 'mood of heart of steel.
In the top left of this page you'll see a box labelled 'details'. In that Details box, it'll tell you which network is screening this show. Then you can either click the name of the network for the link, or web search for it yourself.
A script that doesn't make me want to bitch-slap the scriptwriters, with production and acting of a value that…
You know what, I'm going to go further and say that not only do I accept the CGI as is, but I would go further and say that it's actually pretty good, most of the time. It's only on occasions - usually when CGI-ing larger creatures into the frames - where it gets patchy/visualy fake. The CGI of hand magic and body flipping/flying around, doesn't have anything particularly wrong with it.
(Currently doing a 2nd watch of the first 8 episodes leading up to tonights releases).
I wouldn't go so far as to so it's terrible. Or even bad.. Just occasionally patchy.
A script that doesn't make me want to bitch-slap the scriptwriters, with production and acting of a value that is keeping me fully engaged. I'm 8 episodes in and enjoying the hell out of this series so far.
Some have mentioned the CGI ... and yeah, sure, it isn't 100% perfect. But hey, as a viewer I'm willing to work around that issue for the sake of an enjoyable fantasy series. We can't expect AAA top-grade CGI in every production we view. I'm just happy that such stories get told instead of getting back-burnered because whoever is producing the series might get afraid of being ridiculed for the CGI. They put a good effort in. It's watchable. I, personally, ain't gonna whinge about the CGI.
Mind you I'm a fan of the old Dr Who series (if you understand what I mean by that), so pretty much any effort in the CGI department is appreciated by me.
More to the point, as mentioned above, the acting and production of the series overall is engaging unlike another recent series with some Names attached which I couldn't be arsed to finish.
Arthur Chen should've stuck around for Ever Night season 2, that's all I'm sayin'.
They throw you in at the deep end from the very first episode lore-wise, so it might be difficult for some to grasp the setting in their minds, but I'm appreciating it because ... are the humans evil war-mongering bastards who slaughtered the Kunwu without need? Or were the Kunwu evil overlords who mercilessly persecuted the human race and had it coming? I suspect we'll find a more complex power plot behind the Kunwu-Human war nearer the end. How will Su Youlian reconcile her Kunwu revenge fate with her developing comradery with her fellow human students...? Can't wait to find out.
Having a bad day, Kezia?
Here, I'm sending you a virtual hug...

Re: episode 11
Wasn't water supposed to wash away her disguise?
...ok, now I understand why I'm so partial to Prince Mu in 'Dance of the Sky Empire' when Xu Kai is playing the male lead.

The sets are pretty bloody good too.
Kudos to the make-up team there, he's gorgeous af.
