Typical cdrama situation. Oh, he/she can definitely differentiate between right or wrong, so I am just not gonna tell them anything or even worse - i am gonna lie about the whole situation. I mean, it's not surprising for humans to do so, but it's still frustrating. The idea to keep their identities hidden from each other until the end was a bad idea, imo.
I can stomach love triangle with one obsessive-possessive and unhinged evil dude, but here there are two of them at the same time lol. Couldn't they come up with anything better...?
AIDS? Good lord why is everything is related to his sexuality?
There's this underlying assumption that men, especially successful ones, are more likely to be guilty of abuse or misconduct - which isn't entirely unfounded given real patterns of behavior, but it also creates a situation where any accusation against a male celebrity is treated as probably true from the get-go by many. And the legal system is often completely inadequate for dealing with this kind of reputational warfare. That's why.
9/10. Unexpectedly, this is really good. Hilarious, has some deep moments, memorable characters. According to rumors, there will be also be a second season, but unfortunately, not with the full cast.
This series is based on Daomu Biji: Restart (parts 1 and 2), and is fully completed. So I doubt there will be a new season. The overall reception was good and ratings on Douban are relatively high. But the problem is, they changed the source material a bit too much, making some characters more prominent, adding romance, etc. So while there is enough source material (like 3 novels that follow), it will most likely either be a completely standalone series with different actors that will not include changes made in this series, or somebody will have to do quite a bit of work to integrate all the changes they made properly, which is not an easy job. Bisedes, many fans were protesting against these changes, which also has an impact.
Overall it's a nice watch with a decent story and great acting. I liked the romantic subplot, contrary to what people wrote in the comments, I found it interesting and funny at times. First part is indeed better, but it's the same thing with most chinese dramas. 9/10.
For those who read the novel:I struggle when the ML has concubines/wives besides the FL. How does this play out…
With a novel ending on this remark: "For this lifetime, Shen Zaiye would have to listen to her every word.", well, obviously, no, he doesn't love any of them.
Great drama. There is btw indeed a clip that wasn't translated, but you can find it on TencentVideo. I guess it is an alternative ending of sorts? So you can interpret it as happy ending, if you want.
Watching episode 5... So far Zang Hai he seems like a clever, righteous hero to me, punishing evil and saving the innocent. Not my favourite type of character, but whatever. At least there are chances he will not die in the end as a result. Production quality is insanely high.
I suppose it does. As a subplot. At least according to baidu wiki: "In the course of events, she and Zang Hai meet, get to know each other, initially use one another, then come to understand each other, and ultimately, develop feelings for one another."
