Moonlit Disorder would fit better as a title for this drama, lol... it was such a silly, messy fun which - totally unexpectedly - I've enjoyed a lot! 😂 Usually, I don't like slapstick comedy but the actor playing a pseudo-antagonist Gu Qianfu brought this genre on another level of hilarious. Witty script, with convoluted plot and a lot of funny twists and turns combined with a convincing performance of all actors made it a good watch despite its many flaws in pacing, editing etc. typical for a low budget drama. But the amount of laugh it gave me greatly outweights its flaws. 8/10
The actress plays well this totally diff. character but she can't change her face, and that face is... Ms Su 😂
Legend of the Magnate... Ms. Su is an arrogant, dangerous and revenge-driven character, definitely an opposite to the role of Qiwen in this drama. That's why her face confuses us a lot 😂
I was about to praise linguistic efforts put in this drama but just have heard (and seen in the subs) "potter" wine, lol, instead of porto. Now I don't know if this was a flaw in those efforts or deliberate mispronounciation to point out the gaucherie of that bandit employed by the Japanese...
in ep 8 someone tells that mysterious guy that YFS said as long as he is locked the world will continue to be…
I took those words as a metaphore intending to say misterious diviner is a really dangerous and unpredictable person to be feared of. Bc., why would YFS wish the world in peace? His Huben soldiers are attempting to overthrough the current emperor and are attacking powers close to him, such as Gu Yu.
Episode-8An assassination that lasted three years!?!Liu Zi Yan was indeed Huben's top fool. lol
I don't get why LZY (and YFS wanted that strange diviner dead. He is already in a sort of prison in which people from Huben army can enter and exit as they wish
Nope. It’s an original screenplay by Shuang Cheng whose former projects include Novoland: Eagle Flag, Line Walker:…
thank you, Meg. I didn't like any of those dramas. Besides, I don't like this director either, he makes unnecessary long scenes, I must speed them to avoid to get bored. I don't know how much I'll endure with this story. I am watching ep 4 and all we've got after 3h of watch are basic infos about his vendetta and court situation while being showered with an artificial misterious atmoshere and bunch of names. How do you feel about this drama?
The first 6 eps and the last 6 eps are 10/10. I need to think about the story we've seen in between. The overall can't be 10 bc not every character was depeened enough, things that can happen in reconstruction of real historical events (and that kind of task is truly difficult). I'll have to resee certain subplots to decide between 9 or 9,5
A thoughtful comment that got me thinking. Was not contemplating Gu's mothers character from this perspective.…
that was the thing I wanted to point out, they didn't seem to match each other in any way. Now, with all eps out, we've got some sort of explanation which wouldn't be convincing if not played by that incredible actor Huang Zhi Zhong. He is so good, so convincing in any role he plays that I instantly believe the story, I don't think I'd buy the explanation if any other actor was playing this weird role. I also greatly agree (actually, I thank you for the comments above) with what you've pointed out on female characters but... many male characters aren't written or deepened well either, including certain ML's traits. Things that happen when the eps are limited and screen adaptors must change the plot to make the long story short. Then, everything depends on the actors performance. Like Ms. Su who is - like a parsley - present in every pot, even overbearing, her goals misty, no romantic interest but the actress put some sense in this ungrateful character.

That's why I don't understand this level of antagonism among the killers back then.
