I knew NYZ would not die in this episode, but the tension still got to me. I am happy that the squad knows the situation now. Ning's squad is the best. I don't want anything to happen to them!
Episode 19 - we have cray-cray confirmed. They just had to go that way.
But, there were many good things in this episode to balance the lazy: humor aplenty, powerful moments (heroes of Wu), the conversation between Ruyi and Yuanzhou. High entertaining value.
I love Yuan Lu, but must he remind us at every turn that there is a high probability of him dying before all this…
They are doing it so we can't say that we didn't know and I hate it because he is great with the princess and they are so cute. The last time I watched this actor, his character also died.
Now three days without episodes. On one hand (embracing my inner spoiled five-year-old): WHYYYYYYY?!!! On the other, that's enough time to brace for the angst we all know is coming. *sighs*
RRY deludes herself in thinking that she does not form emotional bonds, but NZY reminded her that she does. Even…
We are clearly different viewers. I couldn't care less about godmother in spite of her gruesome death and I couldn't quite believe Ruyi's strong reaction, because they gave us nothing to back up that relationship but some words. Ah, well, they are not doing bad with other relationships in the drama. Yuanzhou's gang is the best example of show - don't tell concept
She was mentioned in the earlier episodes when Ruyi struck a deal with Yuanzhou, she wanted him to get the godmother…
I must have missed it, thank you. Still, for how strong Ruyi's reaction was, they gave us nothing. A person she called mother got less screen time than some guard. I don't know, maybe it's just me, I like to know people our main characters carte about.
She wasn't mentioned once, let alone shown, and we should care, why? Some things must have been cut for time, otherwise it just doesn't make any sense. At least we saw princess' guard and knew she cared for him. It should be always show, don't tell.
The brothers and princess making romantic atmosphere with leaves for Ruyi and Yuanzhou made me laugh for 5 minutes straight. But all this humor and fluff make me nervous for the later part of the drama. The C-dramas love to emotionally destroy you in the end.
Ning Yuanzhou's brothers are ridiculous, Yu Shisan in particular. I am not loving the drama very much, but I will be heartbroken if they die. They are sooo close.
I started watching because I wanted something to replace SoKP and I thought Journey would be more to my usual taste. First couple of episodes disappointed me, though I liked how brutal the show is. Later episodes got better, but I just can't take Yuanzhou seriously, this smartest spy and assassin who is afraid of FL, lol. Whenever she approaches him (yes, aggressively), he turns into prepubescent boy. I appreciate some of the humor (Shisan is the best) and will continue to watch, but we'll see for how long.
I re-watched the last episode and the little girl playing their daughter is super cute. Her "I am shocked" face when Xie Wei kicked her brother made me want to pinch her little cheeks. Super cute. :)
yes, this ending is super nice 🙂 many people drop Cdramas towards the end, when they know the end sucks, but…
I can't tell you how many Chinese dramas I dropped because the authors forced bad or open ending when it made no sense or even when the source material had a happy ending: I don't have to have a HE at all cost but the ending has to make sense (Nirvana in Fire comes to mind, it broke my heart but it was brilliant). SoKP made me so, so satisfied.
But, there were many good things in this episode to balance the lazy: humor aplenty, powerful moments (heroes of Wu), the conversation between Ruyi and Yuanzhou. High entertaining value.
Onto ep. 20.
She wasn't mentioned once, let alone shown, and we should care, why? Some things must have been cut for time, otherwise it just doesn't make any sense. At least we saw princess' guard and knew she cared for him. It should be always show, don't tell.
