It's possible that it will get a little better. But - knowing these "beauty standards", I'm afraid that the charming beard and adorable mustache will disappear. And the usual flawless baby face will come. I will keep this beautiful memory of the cute hairy man in the Chinese drama .....It's rare......

You are not the only one who gets bored watching new dramas. Because the whole thing has become a "drama factory".. Too many repetitive things. Even movements, words - not to mention themes... The whole story has to stay on two beautiful faces, who fly towards the stars through difficulties. Moreover, it seems that the actors are already bored of acting.. They are somehow dizzy there... The writers do not have time to write interesting characters. They take the cliché that worked. The artists have become lazy... And since the film is a visual art, then - even the visual of the entire film is the same all the time down to the smallest details. They take the cliché that worked ..... And this is not the "pleasant familiar boredom", but "the same old, same old....". If there is something to blame here, then the "industry" Profit must be earned - let the "lovely simple person" pay - so what, that boring. It is hoped that the person's own life is simply more more boring.....And this is not true....But the bright side - they are good sleeping pills.....Or like a prelude for Your own interesting night dreams....

I give half a point. And the other half a point I give to Deng Wei with a beard and mustache. He was immediately cute. Apparently a lot of effort was put into the film .... But for more than three episodes, even that charming mustache didn't keep me in front of the screen....Jaaaaaa - it happens some times.....

I hope it will be a "NEW TREND" .Grazy people make movies good...The worse, the better...In real life, it's always fun to be "a little crazy" and on screen, the "bat shit crazy" characters make the movie watchable......

It was a nice evening to watch. Much nicer than some celebrity dramas. Without the eye rolling, dramatic music and excessive nonsense....And I slept well too.....Compared to many "big dramas" that are as interesting as a phone book and as boring as hell turned to ice - I give it nine points.

Oh, how I love it. And this is the first drama where I watch the so-called "introduction" at the beginning. Just because of this visual. Which is wonderful. And the music at the beginning is strange and enchanting.. Great, Almost as great as "Judge Dee`s mystery"....I'm waiting for the new parts

Riverside Code at Qingming Festival - waiting for it..All the actors were superb , story was peerless and little stories about the era were cute..And the FL and ML are still my favorite loving couple in Chinese dramas....little thrilling , sad and cute - all at the same time......

One of my favorite dramas..The story , the actors the visual ...everything.....

I understand you. And agree - but I watched S2 heroically until the end. I'm curious what will happen if it suddenly becomes popular and a second season is made. But I guess I don't understand what the magic of it was. And they try to make it even better. And more beautiful. Well, if that's the case, then the story will become "normal" .... Heroic saving of humanity, court, head jewelry and more .... The two main characters were rather "charming and awkward" before, who actually worked in "their own world" ... Now they were "polished" .... But I believe that the makers gave their best. And there will be a third season - they promised to go wandering .... This "vagabond" world could leave them awkward and cute .... And the other couple (who were also nice) could also "play around a little more freely ... Let people work in the open world (which is why Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty S2 was also great) - the actors interesting and so are we......This court is always a nest of worms and boring too......

So, you like this most mythical myth "hero's journey" How to become a better person and defeat evil? But - in order for a hero to become a hero at all, you need a "monster", evil. That's why the hero is always monstrous.Many people must die in the name of hero.... In every myth... And some people just want to watch something after a hard day's work. Light. Beautiful. Which is similar to a fairy tale. That good wins and evil gets punished. Maybe she was just "heroic" at work and no one noticed. Or she really is a "butcher's girl" from a small village. Who is not beautiful ,too..... (I just watched a documentary about Korean beauty ideals and plastic surgery - oh damn Jesus, you don't have to suffer all that in the name of beauty) Humanity is what it is - the people must be fed and entertained - otherwise they will organize a rebellion or revolution. There is nothing new here in the world. And for hard core entertainment - .To get closer to the earth and human nature, we have to re-watch Francis Ford Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" in a small circle of friends (still with wine)...I don't know how many times. And I'm just re-reading the book it was based on - Conrad's "Heart of Darkness..."...But for young people (especially girls) it's still too strong stuff...Let them watch beautiful films until the apocalypse reaches them. It will reach them one day anyway. The hero's journey anyway......And heroine journey , to.......with tears and laughter.....with good wishes....

Enjoy the Chinese version of Astrid Lindgren's "Pippi Longstocking" story. A little whipped cream and a prince on top. A little "Cinderella" and the age-old story of how a girl finds a half-dead handsome boy, brings him back to life and what happens then? Of course, it doesn't usually go so well - but who wants to cry in front of the TV anyway.. The film was great and what's especially great - things get passionate when a) the woman drinks a lot of wine, or b) the man is given an "aphrodisiac".....But those bad guys, those "bad boys" - they are passionate by nature. In this film, as always, the cutest .... Long live the "Global Campaign for Women's Empowerment" and what else, girls, if not "shoes, booze and a man with tattoos...."

In a way I understand you. But - look at these dramas with a different eye. Namely - there are about twenty so-called "basic stories" in the world, from which anything can be made at all. They are myths. And fairy tales. They are the only ones that deeply touch people. Of course, in today's world, you have to put a proper "jam and whipped cream" on them so that the "dear world" will eat them. And the actors don't have to be able to act. They have to be beautiful. Because people make "gods" out of them. And when the gods are wrong, they trample the mud.... Some gods also become good actors when they get old. Well, when they are no longer so pretty.. I watch these films with this eye, with a good wine and a nice snack in the evening.... And this "Pursuit of Jade" reminded me of the Chinese version of Astrid Lindgren's "Pippi Longstocking". And a little "Cinderella" on top of that .and then also the Egyptian version of Cinderella about Princess Nitokris. Oh yeah - the bad guys are always cute. Especially in this movie. And in general - anyway, a week later I won't remember what exactly happened in which drama......

Oh - I liked it ... I always fell asleep comfortably in the second third of each episode ... If you try to put together a cliché story about revenge with a philosophy textbook, which is carried by the two main characters with numb faces and with a hint of mandatory "women's empowerment" also included - it is simply impossible to make a better "sleeping pill". I have never seen the two actors who were in the lead roles before ... Or the director was unable to give depth to these characters ... And the conversation between these young people - like two tired old men of seventy years old who have seen life ... Who writes something like that? . It's possible that it was, as usual, about money. We'll finish the film quickly - the audience watches and admires the two main characters (so what, the acting was questionable) and everyone has a great time. Films before 2020 are still pretty good with acting. But when it turned out that stars are chosen based on their appearance there (which is not uncommon in Hollywood, too), then sleeping during the film is quite normal.....I guess it was a good film. I opened my eyes before the end - they were riding somewhere. After all, they were not dead and there was a happy ending.....And of course, the fault could also be that before this drama I watched "The Longest Day in Chang'an". Where there is nothing to complain about...... And sleepingwas excluded . Sorry.....

I'm generally too lazy to write something constantly and I don't think my opinion matters, but - oh joy and happiness...For once, a drama where the "god of war" doesn't look like a decorated "flower boy" with dazzling makeup and flowing curls. He's a more or less twenty-year-old "beauty" who manages to change her lipstick even during battle...Recent "demon lords" and other tough generals are more feminine than women...Since I watch movies out of interest in mythology and to understand so-called trends, it seems that the more time goes by, the more babyish the men in Chinese dramas are.I haven't gotten any further with the movie yet, but a masculine and not "Caucasian" facial features ML- I guess I'll keep watching....I understand that this "sensitive cute" man is a new trend (South Korea was a shock for me. Where did you guys hide?) but still.......When a "demon lord" or "god of war" looks varnished, matted, made up and embroidered in a flowing dress, like my 25 year old neighbor's wife on her anniversary in Europe ......it's starting to feel more and more to me that the earlier, pre-2020 movies were more authentic, the acting was better. Now it's somehow "jam and cookies" ......SORRY....

Ten points and then another ten after watching the newer dramas. Enjoyable from start to finish. The story itself is great, but I was especially fascinated by the actors. Their faces "lived", their characters were believable. Each person in the film was written out separately. And the actors played it out. The female protagonist and the male protagonist - absolute favorites .... Kudos to the director. I tend to leave the latest so-called "hits" unfinished .... Because the acting is dull and you can smell money and rushing ... But this series - molten gold and pure poetry ..... and a bit of wholesome humor in this dark story. Well, just like in life

This story is based on the whole so-called "female dream literature" - especially the entire work of Jane Austen and a little bit of Rosamunde Pilcher, Maeve Binchy, Kate Morton, Elizabeth Jane Howard, and Joanna Trollope. I am not a viewer of such "estrogenic pink lollipops". I tried it out of interest - well, nothing.......But I understand those who watch. AAh - R. Pilcher has a book worth reading" The shell seekers ". There is even something philosophical and thoughtful in it ... But still feminine. And Austin is a classic for everyone who loves "prince on a white horse..."

Why the hell do you have PTSD? It's not worth despairing after the "tears" reaction of the panic department.... But try again - you know "Hard in training, easy in battle...." Well then you can also gently dry the tears of a crying colleague with a silk embroidered handkerchief,.

It's cold and dark outside - so before going to sleep and knitting a warm pink sweater, you need to watch something on TV.....So "Glory"....A film where the well-known and wonderful "Demon Lord" plays a brave, brave, just and wonderful civil servant. I didn't really expect anything, but since a tea plantation in a warm climate is a small change from the ear-deep snow, I watched it...The beginning was a traditional "wedding procession of beauty and heroic struggle." with a herd of money-hungry suitors..And with the main suspect, who was as gentle as a dove and as patient as Buddha himself. Well, of course, he was a "unspeakable villain" Classical story.........But then I started to like the female protagonist. Or - a woman who always checks properly who the men who make her "calf eyes" and swear eternal loyalty are. That girl still made a difference - what is what. And didn't trust anyone until the trump cards were in his hands ....And he did the right thing Because the last test in the family (which was like a madhouse buffet with a sadistic head doctor) was the last test.....Does the male protagonist take prestige, power and money along with good career prospects (and endless intrigue, power struggles with a scheming sister-in-law and a nephew who has already been taught to manipulate) - or will the boy come to his senses and decide to live a normal life.....Smart girls always test men - being in love from "ears" to "tails" does not have to mean trusting....OOH - the same advice for men. Test, test and test again..And have good sex in between - there is something to remember, even if your loved one finally asks you to close the gate from the outside.....What would that woman have done.......

I agree with you - but since films have to bring in "MONEY" and the producer also wants to make money, it may not go so well. And since there is this disaster called "Coroners diary" ahead, we can expect again those many headpieces in the autopsy chamber, more gorgeous clothes and other little beauties that would attract viewers. It is possible that the warmth and credibility that was in the first series will be lost in this turmoil. The filmmakers must have the backbone and courage so that they are not run over by "a donkey with a load of gold".....

The happiest ending movie I've ever seen. And what a reward for a "pure soul"....To roam endlessly in "time without old age".. with loved ones. I can't remember anyone in the entire history of culture who would have done better.......And an adventurous and happy year to everyone.....
