it was at first fun to watch #TianXiWei for a while again. Now I find myself also fed up with this drama already for some eps when I've seen EP20. Except for the fun, but extremely overly done scene where FL was truly giving the villain what was coming for him: we may love to see also strong romance heroines instead of wilting, fainting feminine flowers. It's just that even that went from satisfying to totally overboard. I don't wanna watch this type of 'violence riot style' as in this series represents, as this one goes already way over the limit. It reminded me of watching Tom and Jerry cartoon type of violence in general: A hits B with a hammer or a rock in the head and the next thing B's up and running again like 99% certainly #DaiGaoZheng will also be and there we'll go again - like classic Tom and Jerry.Do we need or want this type of violence onslaught in romance drama?it's like watching some villence action thingie for guys only. Where's the actual romance in this period romance drama supposed to be? It's like ML was completely unnecessary hire because it's a one woman show.The plot feels deflated after the original setup was lost and now it's stuck on a circle. The villain will obviously be springing back up and running again in no time, going by the chosen actor (as typically nothing keeps our villain actor down for long). Then we'll be seeing the same again. We're looking at 10 more episodes (out of total 30) of still more violence on top of violence. I'd be glad if not, but how could it not be when it's been that the while way from the start? The tone has been pretty grim and dark, like grim romance where the romance is a side plot. It's basically FL getting beat up, beating up others or having others beat up someone. The feeling is like when you end up having before you a plate with pizza made way too big, finding it overly greasy and it's not even hot anymore but has gone cold fast. Now I'm looking at it with regrets thinking that nah, I don't wanna even a bite anymore. No thanks and a shudder at the thought. That feeling exactly. To sum it up from my point of view as a romance drama consumer:For me this one doesn't seem to really fit the bill of any kind of romantic type romance drama. Not even in period Cdrama. It's too much the dark and grim type. I didn't end up liking it at all over halfway, losing my taste for it, dropping it and no, it's not going to my rebinge list either. I feel disappointed.#perioddrama #Cdrama #romance #WheretheMaskEnds #grimromance
Questions for those who are watching from someone who hasn't started the drama yet: How is the romance so far,…
if you're looking for classic type actually romantic period drama, this is not it. it's like some kinda #grim story for me when I've watched EP20. So far basically lots of violence. Pretty dark, grim tone. Violence is more the driving force and theme than romance and the intrigue seemingly stopped halfway. Whether you like it or not depends on your own taste. I decided to drop it as I've been bored for some episodes.
What a weird way to do the Final Episode! I can't say I'd be a fan of this messy style of finishing up the last ep so that viewers start checking out was the drama supposed to have more episodes or what's with this. Don't try to be too fancy, stick to what actually works, is my vote.
With what comes after the ending credit, it felt pretty complete. I was like you too, for a second I was, are…
what you said 100% ^ what a messy way to handle the finale and the ending of it. What on earth? Is this supposed to be some new fashionable, trendy thing, better than "normal"? 🫣🤯 no, it's not a good way to do things. no.
It's good to get to watch it finally. I'm concentrating on enjoying what works, not the little things. If you stare and nitpick at every detail on purpose, nothing's gonna work for you. But yep there are things that "could've been done better". Still, I'm giving myself leave to enjoying the story itself. I enjoyed 4 epilogues worth yesterday
the concept of constantly checking the drama's MDL page everytime a character is mentioned 😭. I think taking…
I never was confused by TU and this isn't either for me 🤭 but we're all so different in what's for us. Funny that you meantioned TU. I just finished EP1 and I was like what's with these UT vibes as some things were like copied from UT 🤣

I wish for a SE2!
no, it's not a good way to do things. no.
It ruined my watching experience.
HOW is it that something this good actually ended up even made? Thank you ..
