Let's just watch the remaining episodes on official sites people 👏 The actors and the production team worked very hard on the project and they have given us a drama worth watching which we all love. The least we could do is to appreciate them and send back the love by watching on legal streaming platforms.
It is not the criticism that is the issue. It is the pattern especially with this fan base. This is not the first…
Luckily I was not active here when those drama aired. We're thankful to have respectable fans in cdramas cause the most are just rotten. My comment was also about what I've seen so far here and on twt so I dropped my comment here because most people pass here.
It is not the criticism that is the issue. It is the pattern especially with this fan base. This is not the first…
The comments I've seen so far are of the audience sharing their disappointment about his character.
Yet so far, I've been to twt, Facebook and here on MDL and everyone's who slightly complains about how Xia Zheng is being watered down — we're getting jumped for being pick me's, male centered or male pleasers.
We can't even enjoy a drama without performative feminists jumping down our necks. I'm a feminists too and I'm all for women empowerment but criticizing the plot on how the male lead is executed does not make me less of a feminist. Especially since we're not saying Changyu should be a submissive wife, all oppressed and ah. We're saying the male lead lead have been poorly written.
We're not throwing jabs at the actors but at the characters. Other than that, Idc about fandom wars that happened years ago... I'm talking about now.
Why do y'all cdrama fans resort to name calling when others have different opinions or has complaints with the storyline?
This mostly goes to female lead fans. We're out here talking about characters and they'll bring up the actor's name and call you all sort of names. We're here to enjoy dramas, not to sugarcoat and boost your egos about certain characters.
I love both Xiwei and Zhang Linghe on my part. And I'll criticize the shit out of something if I don't personally like it.
If he has marquis title, that doesn't mean he should kill thousands or everyone in opposite army, he would lead…
Love, you're misunderstanding me. When Changyu becomes the military commander, will she stop being powerful? no, she'll lead the battle and fight.
So far, Xie Zheng has been riding horses, they're not giving us him fighting in the battlefield. Just because he's a Marquis, should he stop killing generals in the battlefield?
When I'm saying show, don't tell us, I mean they should give us a reason why he deserved his tittle in the first case, they should make him be what they say he is. As the main lead, of course they should show us... that's the importance of storytelling. You deepen the character's background, you don't say "He's already got a tittle, so why should they make him strong? why should he fight?"
If a show was about a Male lead being a cook, he would still be cooking throughout the story because that is a character building.
If he has marquis title, that doesn't mean he should kill thousands or everyone in opposite army, he would lead…
Who said anything about him going on a killing spree? He cannot capture his enemies next to his feet and he's just there riding his horse in the middle of a battlefield. They should have given him a scholar tittle and let the Changyu fight and that would have been alright.
But they should not exaggerate his tittle and power if we're not going to see him being who they're claiming he is. As writers usually say, show, don't tell. But all we've ever given was how great Marquis Wu'An is, nothing to back up their statements when facing enemies in the frontline.
And for those being defensive calling us male centered... It's hard luck because this is a written script and they should not just tell us something, they should show it.
I've watched a lot of dramas where the female is stronger than the male and it was never a problem if it's well executed. In this case, they kept calling Xie Zheng "The great Marquis Wu'An" but he can't even capture a single bird thrown to his feet. We never seen him in action as the great Marquis, it's like he's only great by name and he's always busy aura farming.
Being sappy in love doesn't have to take away his tittle when he can be both.
I love this drama so much but I'm very disappointed with how they watered down Xie Zheng's character. The mighty Marquis Wu'An is praised by everyone but we never see him in action. With this battle, I thought we would see him but once again, they butchered his character.
He was strong in the earliest episode, but now it's like he's a supporting character who's there for the sake of being there.
The plot is plotting. I expected Marquis Wu'An to not believe Changyu when she tells him she loves him before she leaves. This man is so possessive of his wife that he keep sulking saying "Then tell me you love me"
no, I was seriously wondering why I somewhat swooned by qi min's obsession. while his look might be the cause,…
Me, the other way around. Qi Min's obsession creeped me out because he was literally abusing his woman "just because of his trauma" like I didn't even care, I literally disliked him the second he kept emotionally traumatizing her and his own child. Which is why the actor himself didn't impress me.
While to my dimple boy, he just a crazy prick who made me hate him. He's so good at making me wish I could step inside that drama and join into hitch slapping him. At his age, I was quiet impress with him. He's so natural.
It must be a given name. In my country, traditionally you're given a name during initiation (with a coming of age ceremony) So you'll have a birth name, and a given name given by the elders in your family.
In these past few episode, the writers has been clear by showing us both Xie Zheng and Chang Yu's fears. They're characters, thus they're meant to be flawed.
Chang Yu is impulsive. After what happened with the food trade, she still went on and drugged Yu Zheng (even though he didn't know he was the Marquis) She still did something she shouldn't have. But her choices highlight how far she could actually go for people who means dear to her. She cares a lot, and does not want to lose people she cares about so she ends up making impulsive decisions without thinking further.
When it comes to Xia Zheng, it's bern clear that he's scared. He's been asking Chang Yu questions such as "What if I become someone higher than a general, would you..." / "You were looking for me because you..." He's been hesitant, and afraid of Cheng Yu's reaction about his identity. He wishes it was like in Lian, where they used to spend their time without all these trouble. But that is like a dream to Xie Zheng, which causes doubt because he's not even sure that Chang Yu loves him like that. He's the Marquis of Wu'An after all, not a live in husband of the Fang family. He's still doubtful and hesitant, and afraid.
We can count his fighting scenes on one hand, that might have been back in Lin An. I am disappointed that Xie…
We need intense fighting scenes soon and I'm sure now that Changyu has found out about his identity, they'll give us the arc where he showcases his reputation as the Marquis of Wu'An. They shouldn't just tell us how big of a deal he is, we need to see how big of a deal he is.
And I obviously cannot wait for the next episodes, maybe we'll see more.

DON'T WATCH THE LEAKED EPISODES.😌
Hopefully, they wrap it up and drop the express package and that everyone will watch the drama in the official sites.
Let's enjoy the drama.
I've followed Cdramas for years and so far, all cdrama Fandoms are like that.
We all come here to scream whenever a strong female character is suddenly stronger only in name. Do we go around name calling others? No.

Xie Zheng: "I can literally move the mountains for you, don't leave me alright?"
Sui Yuan Hai: "I can gladly die on your hands. Let me drink that poison idc"

I think it's like that I'm not so sure.
