I really enjoyed this drama, except for the last episode (which was a complete mess). Compared to sheer amount…
It's been a while...so I don't remember the specifics.
What still annoys me even now is the lack of a positive pay off after all my investment (and shipping). I even wanted a somewhat happy ending for Le Qin.
I loved it up till the moment she discovered '4th brother'. The palace arc was off. The quality of villain after 'dear general' bit the dust was lacking. The writers overindulged in the C-Drama penchant for tragedy (just because!) and that ending!!!
Although, I some other watchers told me that the ending is more positive than I think. Still, the needless cruelty inflicted on the other good guys still irritates.
And yes, I disliked even Game of Thrones for precisely that.
IMO, this is a drama where the sum of its parts is superior to the finished product. Unrelentingly mopey, and that final scene was emotional blackmail.
Aww come on!If you can suspend your imagination all the way for flying martial arts, surely you can go all the…
The drama's premise is fantastical.
Lots of C-dramas are 'realistic', but this is clearly not going for that.
My point is that while you think it detracts, it should just be something you shrug and accept.
Once you've crossed the flying martial artists Rubicon, just lie back and accept the vision of the showrunners on its own terms.
Remember, it is 'make-believe'. Your hitch is assuming that it ought to be 'make-believe' as *you* want it to be rather than 'make-believe' as the production team has determined it to be.
Maybe in *that* world, what you think is feminine is masculine and vice versa. Maybe *there* the sole purpose of life is being stunning. Who knows. It is neither our world nor our creation, nor does it pretend to be.
Let it go. Let yourself be entertained. Getting stuck debating the physics of blonde princesses creating anthromorphic snowmen or the levels of muck necessary to achieve prime grief only detracts, no?
I was not offended. But thank you, sincerely, for caring about my feelings.
Sorry for the late reply. I didn't get the prompt because you replied yourself.

For games, there is Hitman...Alpha Protocol. The rest, I am drawing a blank though and it is bugging me.
Any ideas?
Anyways added to the list.
That's taking 'gritty realism' a tad too far.
Someone else might not notice.
Bruh.
But let's not get distracted. Terrible trailer, but I like Li Yi Tong, so I'll probably watch this.
If I end up disappointed, I will need to speak to the manager o:
I am getting Big Little Lies vibes. Sometimes a show should be self-contained. I hope they can pull it off though. The first season grew on me.
My interest has been piqued by the absence of romance.
Also rather funny.
In terms of global competition, some C-Dramas as good as anything. (Allow me to shill https://kisskh.at/26287-great-rivers and https://kisskh.at/36109-ancient-detective )
Others are not. That is the same for every industry.
Personally, as somebody who grew up with terrestrial State-TV, I can only marvel to live in such an abundant age of global entertainment.
Fingers crossed, one day I will have mastered the language by osmosis. I am sceptical though ):

Appreciate the guidance.
And I mean just the story. Preferably, if you have read the source material. Help me out.
Thanks.
If you can suspend your imagination all the way for flying martial arts, surely you can go all the way and overlook overly pretty leads?
Remember, all entertainment has genres. This complaint is rather like complaining that musicals burst into song and dance in unrealistic places.
