at the end she’ll probably become human, but i wish she could stay as sovereign with ultimate power and he becomes…
I haven't read the novel but I wish there was a happy medium. She clearly does not like being immortal due to her lack of the senses and she does not like being the Spirit Lord (she only took the position for the sake of her parents). I wish there was a way for her to obtain the senses that she wishes she had while maintaining her power. Also wish there was a way for her to transfer power but can still step in when she absolutely has to
I think it was his because his soul candle went out, that sent him into the illusion. Later she told him to snap…
I thought so at first, but her dialogue about being un-ending and undying when duan xu 'dies' made me think it was her illusion. Maybe it was both of theirs?
one of the best paced cdramas for a while. it's not necessarily one of my favs nor did i get obsessed with any particular character (i have my problems with all of them), but I have to say it was well done in terms of execution. The writing was tight-nit and the multiple povs was a really nice touch that elevated this for me. Those points were strong enough to make me enjoy a drama in a genre I usually don't watch, so it did its job!
he's the staff from the SEA division of GST, and the one who previously pursued zhao mei and he's now her friend. he's the one dongming told her to stay away from after they had dinner
I finally got a chance to finish it, and I did not expect to like this one as much as I did, it was a dark horse…
This is also my first time watching zhou keyu in a drama and I must say he knocked it out the park! I actually was a fan during his Chuang days, so watching him in this mode after a few years was fun haha. I hope he does more slice of life dramas cuz I think it really suits him
I finally got a chance to finish it, and I did not expect to like this one as much as I did, it was a dark horse fav of this year! After a long day at work, watching this felt really comfy. I loved the leads, their chemistry, and I really really loved the supporting characters too (specifically chun chang!). I tend to prefer slow burn (once it's done right) so the pacing didn't bother me.
The only problems I could think of if I had to nitpick was some of the styling/make-up choices for the fl, and the filter they used, but those are really minor things.
I think they did a really good job of portraying a relationship like this, which is a sensitive topic for some, which could easily feel icky if done badly. But the reasons and circumstances they got together made sense here. Like someone wrote earlier, they came into each other's life at the right timing. He needed someone to take him out of a dead-end/bad situation and she needed a distraction from 2 horrible situations that happened back to back and probably made her feel like she was losing grip of her life. Then gratitude and duty transformed into love (as it often happens irl too!). It all felt very natural.
Lastly, I could understand why the ML character would be more likeable to some than the FL - he is clear and upfront about what he wants while she opts to avoid or hide from her feelings. But given the context of the divorce, I'm more than willing to give her grace for this character flaw.
If you like slice of life, slow burn romance and a tastefully don "jie-di" drama, I would highly recommend this one!
