I was supposed to give it an 8, but because of that final episode, I ended up giving it a 10. I loved how Yeon Si Eun beat the shit out of all the bullies in the end. While watching that scene, I felt the exact same rage as him. I was completely immersed, almost urging him to killed those bastards.
That surge of emotions rage, fear, adrenaline, tension, anger, desperation, and even a strange sense of satisfaction is exactly why I love action and crime dramas as well as movies . Your heart starts racing, your fists clench, and you feel every hit, every moment of fear, and every bit of revenge. But very few scenes manage to create that level of intensity.
The last time I felt something like that was while watching The Glory, Flower of Evil, and Love Like the Galaxy especially that scene where Ling Bu Yi, covered in blood, killed his father. That was such satisfying moment.
All in all, it was a great watch.
BTW why the fuck is Hong Kyung so cute!! ššššššš I canāt take my eyes off him especially when he cries, his whole face turns red, especially his nose. š„°š„°š„°š„°š„°
Very well said, thank you! I want to watch live talented human actors/actresses! "Artificial Intelligence"…
Yes, just like mini-dramas and vertical dramas have their own audiences. Before vertical dramas became popular, mini-dramas had a huge following. But once vertical dramas gained popularity, a lot of viewers shifted their attention to them.
If they really want to create an AI-based entertainment industry, then they should keep it separateājust like anime, animation, and cartoons have been doing for years. They have their own dedicated fan base.
Iām not personally an anime or animation viewer, but I truly admire their work. The editing, graphics, and character design are all beautifully done. Thatās real creativity and talent, and it clearly shows in those projects.
If the Industry shifts towards just AI, people will just get nostalgic and watch old dramas and tv series only.…
Isnāt this exactly what the Chinese entertainment industry is trying to doāshift toward AI? Recently, the CEO of iQIYI mentioned at a conference that they plan to invest heavily in AI-generated dramas in the near future. At the same time, they also know that many audiences wonāt willingly watch fully AI-made content. So, now they're signing contracts with a large number of actors to use their faces in AI productions, hoping fans will still watch because of their favorite. I donāt know how true that is, but I really hope it isnāt. I honestly donāt want actors supporting this bullshit.
If they want to make AI dramas, fine, then at least be creative and build completely original AI actors and actresses. Why use real peopleās identities? Of course, some people will still watch it to support their favorite, but I am out of this bullshit.
From my perspective, they're doing all this because of money and lack of creativity. Investing in A-list actors is expensive, and relying on newcomers doesnāt always guarantee viewership. So this seems like a shortcut, cut costs while still attracting audiences. Plus, real actors can get into controversies or even be banned, which creates risks for production companies. With AI actors, they wouldnāt have to deal with any of that.
If they want to use AI so badly, then at least use it in a meaningful way. Donāt take away artistsā hard workāor anyone elseās, for that matter. AI tools can be helpful for things like editing, graphics, and design, but I donāt think itās right to rely on them completely. Just like Liu Yuning mentioned using AI tools to assist in making music, the industry could use AI as support, not as a full replacement.
The question isnāt really whether AI will take over the entertainment industry. The real question is why movies, dramas, songs, and anime are made in the first placeāfor US, the audience. Do we actually want to spend our time and money on something that feels so artificial and emotionally empty?
No matter how advanced AI gets, it just canāt recreate that raw, human feeling. When I watch a drama, I feel what the actors feel. I cry with them, laugh with them, get frustrated with them. That connection comes from real people putting real emotion into their work. You canāt program that. You can imitate it, sureābut itāll never feel the same. Writers and directors build stories that connect with our emotions on a deeper level. That kind of authenticity just canāt be replicated by AI.
Last month, I read an article claiming that an AI-generated vertical drama reached 1 billion views in China. Curious, I tried watching a couple of AI vertical dramas myself and they were awful. Forget the plot or acting; even the dialogue didnāt match the lip movements. Maybe thatās due to low budgets, but even with high-budget productions, I doubt the emotional depth would be the same. If iQIYI were to produce an AI drama, the visuals might be top-notch, but the emotional authenticity and human talent would still be missing.
I was worried that audiences might start accepting AI-generated dramas, but itās somewhat reassuring to see that many people are against the idea of using actorsā faces to create AI versions. If viewers stop supporting such content, production might slow down. However, I doubt it will stop entirely, curiosity and the appeal of seeing their favoriteās actors faces may still draw people in.
As someone who watches vertical dramas, I know they often have plot issues, but they also feature many talented actors. Itās disheartening to see that just as some of them were starting to gain recognition and opportunities with larger production houses, AI bullshit is now threatening their livelihoods. These days, it feels like one or two AI-generated vertical dramas are released every day.
For me personally, if the industry fully shifts toward AI, Iām out. I donāt want to watch something that doesnāt feel real. At that point, itās just content not storytelling.
The amount of hate Zhang Ling He is receiving feels quite excessive. Itās surprising how being good-looking can become a reason for criticism. The āFoundation Generalā comments are also getting repetitive, as if he personally runs the makeup and costume department. He can give his opinion, sure, but the final decisions are made by the director and the production team.
On Reddit, people keep claiming that heās only popular because of strong 'backing' and his visuals, as if their own favorites arenāt attractive. Visual appeal has always been part of the entertainment industry, and itās not unique to him.
Then comes the funniest partāpeople claiming WeTV, iQIYI, and the production company nearly went bankrupt trying to make āPOJā a hit š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ Do they even hear themselves? Thatās not how billion-dollar companies work. Apparently now those ālossesā are magically being recovered by new dramas too. Itās actually impressive how confidently people speak on things they clearly donāt understand.
There are no chi wen's orders here. Everything jiling is doing now is from his own. Chi wen was not there since…
That I know however Chi Wen consciousness is still in Dragon Abyss. Ji Ling may go there time to time to inform him. However, he may turn greedy as well for power & all who knows that his actual plan is.
That's what LoL. They say two people are this and that. But there's are two other people playing this and thatšš¤”
Jiu Ying said to Ji Ling that Six-Eyed Butterfly Demons took the dying Yuan Wu Huo's body so that they can know Chi Wen's plan & locate the tenth Dragon.
I have a few questions after watching episode 18. If Li Jie is one of the Six-Eyed Butterfly Demons, then who were Yuan Wu Huo and Yuan Xi Zai in his illusion? Was it the old commanderās story that he relived to make him doubt his own identity? And is that why Yuan Wu Huo wanted him in the illusionāso he could exchange bodies with Li Jie (as hinted in the episode 19 trailer)?
We all know the purpose of the WuWu coupleās illusion, but what was the purpose of the LuJi coupleās illusion? Was it to uncover Jiu Yingās origin, as Ji Ling mentioned before coming out of the illusionāthat he had found all the answers he was looking for?
Also, what do you all think about his approach toward Jiu Ying? Do you really believe he intends to team up with Jiu Ying to kill the Dragon brothers, or is he simply acting under Chi Wenās orders? Personally, I feel itās the latter. I will be happy to proven wrong. I would like to see a negative ML that will be interesting to watch.
From the 5th episode I came to the conclusion that he has a secret identity. We saw someone sacrificing their…
In latest episode some part of his identity got reveal. It will be interesting to see upcoming episodes whether my theories will be true or it will be entirely something else, proving me wrong.
Wu Shi Guang is becoming more & more mysterious. At first, I was worried whether he would have any role in the Dragon vs. Jiu Ying conflict. After watching a few episodes, I first thought he was Jiu Ying reincarnation version. But after seeing episodes 10 and 12, I feel like he may have another identity, since he isn't from the Flood Dragon clan; however, in a promotional clip, there is a dragon behind him. So, could he be one of the nine Dragon sons or the son of one of them. Another thing I have noticed is that both Shi Guang and Wang Yan have the same surname, 'Wu'. Also, in a recent episode, it is revealed that the Formless Moon Sect is searching for Wu Shi Guang. Maybe he is the son of one of the nine-tailed foxes. There are so many theories in my head about his background.
yes he said that during interview, he "doesn't want to be the dragon god" and he just wants to become…
I think he is the fox Ji Ling that the real Chi Wen saved him. And for some reason he is portraying as Dragon Deity while the real one in hidden as he has no power. That's my theory.
I feel like Iām not watching a GJM drama...aside from the CGI and visuals, everything feels so different. The…
You forget his one of the most signature element, which is killing of characters. Fangs of Fortune is quite an example for us. šš And I feel like here also we see couple of characters death.
Loving both the pairs. Wu Shi Guang & Wu Wang Yan are a bickering couple with a lot of seduction vibes from our Wu Wang Yan šššš„°š„°š„° Loving the way she tries to seduce Wu Shi Guang. Every now & then calling him "å„" just to annoy him.
Ji Ling & Lu Wu Yi is flirty couple š„°š„° They look so cute together. Specially Tian Jia Rui innocent smile. Whenever they flirt, Li Jie's expression is a treat to watch, it's so hilarious. Lu Wu Yi looks innocent, doesn't know anything. That's just a cover for her.
When it's come to fighting sequence Edward Guo never disappoint whether it was in "My Journey to You" & "Fangs of Fortune". Also the cinemagraph is so on-point.
Initially I wasn't going to watch it. However, after seeing the 2 trailers for the 2 CP I can't wait. I love Edward Guo work a lot. (Many doesn't like his work but I do) His cinematography & asthenic vibes are always eye-catching such as Fang of Fortune & My Journey to You.
I am still confused with the pairing of 4 leads. Some clips I have seen Chen Du Ling & Tian Jia Rui in wedding attire kissing each other. Now both trailer shows completely opposite. But no worries everything will be clear after tomorrow.
I just hope ZLH get reasonable screentime and highlights as a ML š
That's true. Recently, in few of his dramas, he is getting limited screen-time or his scenes being cut. The more he getting popular the more his screen presence is being reduce. As if the film-makers are only using him for viewers. Not utilizing his true potential. It's what I feel like. I know many won't agree with me, however that's how I feel.
