hmmm....does everything has to have meaning?maybe youre the type of person looking for series that gives you underlying…
yes everyone watches a drama for a reason, but this one is not doing what it should be doing (not every thing has to make sense, but you can't give us good visuals, good cinematography, but a repetitive stories )
as for the pure love part, i don't think its suitable to call it pure when most of it is built on lies and deception, at least give them a good reason to be a bad person.
i feel you, especially after the 21st ep, like what do you mean you are suddenly bringing in time loop in the…
tbh its not just about making sense, but its just that these characters keep lying and changing their sides so often that i believe none of them, and so i can't even trust LWY on the time loop because of the trust issues
What are some examples? of The plot tries so hard to be deep and mysterious, but most of the time it just ends…
if she did ask, then they will show it, but they didn't when they showed us the flashbacks and i suspect and so she is defiantly hiding something , the other issue is that these important points were not really done well, which like you said could lead to some confusion, so if this keeps happening then when a big reveal happens it doesn't really have a great impact.
i really see potential in the story, it just that the execution not great.

a great example is the time loop part, they really wanted us to wonder why lwy did what she did, only to bring in time loop in the story.
i really think it was a bad move, because they didn't do it well ( they could've dropped some hints for us, that something weird is going on with lwy and that she is not acting like herself) they did zero build up for such a reveal, and isn't it weird that she has been a the loop for hundreds of times, yet she never told anyone, never sought anyone to help her, or at least told the truth for once to allow the loop to break? going through the same thing hundreds of time can take a toll on the character, so shouldnt she has thought for once that this would be her only way to break it?
If I’m being honest about Veil of Shadows, it really feels like a show that thinks it’s way smarter than it…
i feel you, especially after the 21st ep, like what do you mean you are suddenly bringing in time loop in the story (the problem with that is that it doesn't have an impact or a shock factor to the audience, it was done poorly), and just like you said the characters motivations keep changing so frequently that you just dont know where everyone stands.
tbh, i watched 3 projects of the same director, and he really did well in My Journey to You, the story was good, the fight scenes left a good impression on my, so i did enjoy the drama, but then in Fangs of Fortune, I was so disappointed because it was all good lighting and attractive shots, but in reality the story was all over the place and it wasn't satifiying one bit.
so this one at least compared to fangs of fortune has somewhat of a story going on, yet like you said they are trying to sound smart and look smart.
I tried watching this show but put it on hold after ep02... I'm not interested in either the FL or Ml, which is…
it really is a hard watch, i am now at ep 16 and i am barely watching anything becuase of how much im skipping. Just like you said the lead characters are very flat and inconsistent, even other characters are not interesting.
usually i can ignore the bad aspects of the drama if the story or the acting is good enough, but not even the story is intriguing, it is written terribly, add to that the bad directing, and it has become a disaster (like some actions that the leads do make no sense and are so out of place).
in conclusion, everything about this drama is bad or meh (story 2, acting 2, lightning 1, costumes 1, directing 1, overall 2.5 and that is me being generous)
this started so well, but the last few eps disappointed me, some scenes were cringe and other did not make sense
like how did qimin survive that fall while he was shot by an arrow three times????? and his death scene was a bit old fashioned but I kinda felt sorry for him
100%, I agree. He tells her that the injuries are not so bad and that she doesn't need to worry, but she fusses…
exactly, and one thing that i remembered was that she wasn't as fussy when she first met him, yes she helped him a lot and she didn't want him to die, but that was because he was badly injured. Now she is willing to even go to war to eliminate the what ifs.
damn changyu really needs to understand that yanzhang is not a kid, but its somewhat understandable when think about it, this girl has lost way to many people and many of them are close to her, and i think her case with yanzheng is that she loves him so much that she is starting to become overly protictive, cuase the thought of her losing someone that brought her comfort is not in her dictionary, so she is desperately trying to control the outcome so that even the thought of death will disappear.
its kinda sad, and i hope her friends, family, and yanzheng will help her overcome it.
