It was like the “tick of the cultural promotion box to get that Heartbeat Theatre qualification outta the way” for me, lol. One giant add thrust into the middle of the show. Beautiful costuming though, QT and FG were gorgeous. 😂
I watched till ep 7 ..then I took a break...but after seeing the comments and reviews ...does the plot develops…
It’s good up till ep12, then up to 17 it’s probably more meaningful if you’ve seen LiP as it’s about Fei and HY and YA power games, mainly, and post 18 it jumps the shark and never recovers. CY more or less is a support role only from 19-30. He becomes a main character again from 31-36 but by then the only thing keeping me invested was the aesthetic, music, and CY’s fight scenes.
Definitely worth watching up to the end of ep12 in my book!
Wait, I don't understand what happened... 😶🌫️What do you mean all scenes were reshot?? 🤔He initially…
I will buy that wyx sabotaged CY, but I think he sabotaged both FL and ML here. There's no way LYT or anyone genuinely liking her can have ever read that script and thought she would in any way be enhanced by that arc. It ruins her character in every single way while denying her any chance to add even one single thing to the plot at all. She makes no meaningful contributions. She makes no decisions. Everything she does is a passive reaction to some event she had no control over, typically one showing poor judgement that achieves nothing, and at the end she oscillates like someone with selective amnesia between "I will build a happy city" and "I will never leave your side Fugui" while never being allowed to independently do anything except talk about how she would like to do either. Her actions are totally out of alignment with her words. I can't believe anyone would shoot themselves in the foot like this by choice. 100% respect CY if he indeed had any hand in Fugui not being butchered in the arc he's largely absent for, but I don't think the FL team could possibly have come up with an arc to make her character so totally unlikable and useless.
One thing's for sure though, and that's that I'm never watching anything by the crew who did this one again.
as far as I know, it's basically like instead of you paying for VIP access to the show yourself, some sponsor (eg. fans, brands, the channel) pays for a "seat" so that a casual viewer can watch VIP-restricted content without paying.
It started well. Just crashed midway. Even ratings aren't progressing.Heat index is now around 8000. Even two…
It’s probably not a coincidence if two dramas dropped and the ep count went from 2 to 1 if the heat index drops. (Tales of Tang Dynasty is S3 of a popular series I think?)
But yeah, it’s the screenwriter and producer’s fault for sure. I don’t even care that Rumu has been caught yet again by his dad who is yet again using him to kill people, I just want Fugui to find out because he’s the one guy who’s got a brain left in this and who I trust to fix this lol. Hopefully he keeps his brain and core character intact through to the end 😭
ever wonder what happened to the itsy bitsy spider when she gout out the water spout? she fell in love. this series…
imo TJOL is not a fair comparison, as it’s at least entertaining from start to end and picks up steam instead of losing it post 20 😅😅
As a player of RPGs some of the lampshading it did on stuff commonly done while RPGing were hilarious to me 😂
It had its faults (and a hilariously high number of outfit changes), but it had brilliant fight scenes and at least the core theme of the show carried through from start to end.
I don't mind no romance in this drama. I know people don't like this because of not having enough scene for the…
It’s not a waste of time but the plot does jump the shark and insert about 10 or 11 eps of filler between about 18-29 in which the main plot (and CY) is sidelined for either cute/comical scenes of the support romance leads or a creepy obsessive gaslighting of the FL by her (adopted) brother who’d like to be number one in her heart. Plot’s strong from 1-17 and is picking up again in ep31, and Fugui’s good throughout. It’s only disappointing that the middle arc exists because my expectations were so high after ep12 rather than that the show is terrible.)

I could misunderstand tho.
