interesting choice for your first costume cdrama. i wouldn't say it would be the most appropriate choice, but it won't be anything confusing. as long as you're aware that this is not heavy on the romance part and mainly focuses on revenge that involves political and family conflicts.

i wasn't able to cry in that scene because i kept thinking when did she have the time to memorize 100 names 😭

Overall, The Double is a drama with some issues and aspects that didn't completely satisfy me, but it also provided numerous great moments that made the whole experience amazing nonetheless. The villains are very well-written and I enjoyed watching them, though I wish SYR's ending was crueler. Most of the arcs were really enjoyable to me, especially the Luyang and Huaixiang arc where we got my favorite moments of the main couple. The ending was rushed and could've been omitted to be replaced with the marriage life (rather than filming some really short scenes last minute for the bonus episode), but thanks for the eye candy a.k.a. XH wearing his battle gear I guess lol.

thinking of watching this after i finish the double

how is this so far?

does poison lady end up with anyone?

esp when it's a (sort of) romantic scene between the two leads. it reminds me of a fanfic with a y/n concept 😭 i want them to look at each other and not me why does the director like that type of shot so much

that type of shot when the actors look directly at the camera while speaking their lines is so overused and awkward. like why r u saying that to me lol i mean it works for some scenes but it's just unnecessary and looks funny most of the time that it has become distracting to me

Shen Yu Rong's actor is phenomenal. SYR is such a complex character (maybe even the most complex in the series), yet he portrayed him perfectly. His eyes are able to express his thoughts and feelings in such accuracy. I have to say— most of the cast are really great actors, but he surprised me the most.

but was ruoyou already born when jiang li was sent away?

im at ep 29 and i still don't quite understand why ji shu ran have been doing all that to slander or kill jiang li. was it just because she saw jiang li as a threat to her daughter?

thanks!

when will the ji shuran conflict be solved?

will the leads still have many moments together after the luyang arc? i kinda don't want them to leave luyang lol

im at ep 15 and i gotta say— even though there's still barely any romance, xiao heng got me giggling and kicking my feet with his meaningful glances and small acts of service to XFF. im so down bad for him rn it's funny how he never really caught my attention in the 2 dramas i watched that he's in (tho undoubtly he has always been a good actor, just that i could see his charm more here). he's like my everything now i love it sm when the ML falls first and the FL dgaf abt him.

ye jia er's voice sounds the same as shenli in legend of shenli. i wonder if it's the same dubber?

damn it i started this late so that when it finishes airing i'll be right on time and don't have to wait for episodes everyday but now i'm too engrossed and i'm catching up too fast. i can't stop watching but i don't like the pain of having to watch 1 ep a day!

i see, im happy to hear that. i love the chemistry between the two leads.

xiao heng and ye shi jie are marked as main leads here but i see ji shu ran more often than the two combined. i wonder if their screentime will increase soon? (im still at ep 10)

is it just me or the scenes are kinda weirdly put/edited at times? idk how to put it but some cuts are not smooth and natural.
