" should say something" yeah, that that old ladies with their misogynistic views need to open their mind a bit and stop sexualizing others' bodies. Especially because they are women. They can't change the entire village, but maybe they should.
no, i think it's completely normal to take time to adapt in new surroundings.
I did not grow up in a city, but I still get her. Good hygiene is common sense even in villages far smaller than the one shown in the drama. Plus the way she dresses is none of their effin business. The sexualization of her body is in the eyes of those who sees something inappropriate, not in her. And he had the audacity to suggest her to wear something different to please the villages who can't mind their own business?!? I don't see her going around suggesting the ladies to wear something that she likes more. It's not like to adapt to live in their city one has to change completely his values and character and become like everyone else to be accepted. If they criticize her for being different the problem is their closed mind, not her individuality. Sure, she said some mean things, but I don't see them being any better. Also it is true that less things can be found in smaller cities and villages, what is there to be angry about? In my small town it was allowed to go to nearest bigger cities during the pandemic because there were bigger and cheaper markets there. The shop owner who was upset because she didn't buy the shampoo in her place is ridiculous.
There are a couple of things I don't get. He knows that if she gets her wrist hurt he is in pain. Why not find a way to protect it? With a bracelet or something. Also Kong Qi basically hurt the pregnant wife of the Emperor and is still alive and free after that? I know he's a friend of the first wife, but IO think that even she can't save him from the emperor's wrath... YET.
The prod company behind A Chinese Ghost Story (2019) and Palace of Devotion was found to have falsified their revenue for the 2 dramas with an inflated revenue of 460 million yuan.

I would love it, too-they just have to get cast who are willing to do shorter series (still as much commitment…
I feel you there. I'm honestly tired of explaining their connection to all the users who complain about the projects being moved one way or another. As long as the team and the budget stay the same, I don't see why we should care where the product airs, since it's the same product.
It's a classical xianxia. Nothing new or special so far. Also the special effects (CGI) are unfortunately cheap, nevertheless I still enjoy it. The ML is the classical strong character that acts cold, but actually cares a lot inside (can relate).
It's aesthetically really pleasing. The photography and the editing are on point. The problem is the incoherence of the message. At the beginning we see a character that says things like (not direct quote) "If he bases his love on your appearance, he doesn't really love you." and that there should not be only one beauty standard, that we are beautiful in all shapes, no matter how we look. Also they showed how it's unfair and discriminating to praise the worker for the looks and not for the actual hard work and competence. However in the last episode the whole point of the message is lost. They criticize an organization for their capitalist views, but in fact the advertised product does the same thing: promotes a type of beauty for their own profit, so more people will want to buy it. The parallel world company promotes wrinkles, our world the anti-wrinkles standard. What's the difference anyway? How is that in line with "be yourself. You define your own beauty."? The hypocrisy.
Looks like they took inspiration from a lot of movies and series. It felt like watching a mix of Loki, The Longest Day in Chang'an and Stargate (but with lower budget and quality)
