The ML look too geeky to be a hero. Also figure the series will be long and draggy with nothing unique. Maybe if these series were short, one could gamble wasting their life but at 48 ep? Dropped after 2 episodes.
I actually enjoy remakes between korea,jpn, taiwan, and china since it lets us enjoy the characters/story again in diffrent or more modern settings. I have watch 4 decades of the condor hero trilogy and have mostly enjoy them. In the west and hk, rather than remakes, they go with pt2,pt3,pt4 etc which ends up destroying the entire story... usually by killing off characters or destroying relationships etc. In the west, they would have Meteor Garden Again, Shancai and DMS would be divorced with 2 kids. Lei would of been hit by a truck and left as a vegtable in the hospital... etc
I've watched through a lot of this series so far. It's an excellent show and I don't think people's complaints…
Youtube has it but it is country blocked in the usa. It was okay for viewing a year ago, so i guess streaming isnt really reliable for series you care to re-watch or watch slowly.
I found the movie a bit disappointing. The Domyoji character was still mostly clueless on treating minako nicely, up till the end even though this is 4 years after the tv show. I can't see how any couple could of lasted this long with such a toxic personality. I think thr 2018 Chinese remake is prob the most realistic of all, since the ML did a better transformation from a immature brute to learning to taking responsibility and caring for the FL.
I really want to like this drama but having Sang Sang and Ning Que as a couple, just made me sick to my stomach.…
SS and NQ was taken in by some creep as slaves then esape later to be taken in by General Ma according to what others said of the novel. Fuzi created the Tang Empire.
