Especially the dialogues written in this drama. I know the English subtitles don't really do it justice, but their…
Do you happen to have an example of where the subtitles do not justice to the dialogue? I have been studying Mandarin fora while and I understand quite a bit but what I understand is of course based on the meaning I once studied, so I don’t know if a non native speaker can even ever really understand the meaning behind it.
I disagree. There was no reason at all for him to stab her. He could just have knocked her out, given how great…
He could not have knocked her out. Then she would have fallen down and everyone would have been alerted. He was definitely not a sadistic character. He put the thumb on her wound to threaten and frighten her to achieve his goals. Same for the ants. He had spent many years working to achieve his goals and JC tried to prevent him and worked against him. She was not a bystander anymore.
it may be a sad ending but it's a good and satisfying one... the acting were brilliantly done and delivered by…
I basically don’t have problems with a sad ending if it is plausible and satisfying. But in Love of Nirvana a very important part of the ending was neither plausible nor satisfying imo.
I also think, this ending was the best for Yueluo people. But it is still sad. However, it is very realistic.…
But the new Emperor had compassion for the Yuelo people and he also acknowledged how hard they fought in the war, so I think the new Emperor would have pardoned the Yuelo people anyway. Also this ending doesn’t mean that there won’t be injustices and conspiracies in the future. The second prince (I forgot his name) was clearly ambitious and wanted to get the throne too, so I can imagine that he would try to become Emperor in the future. And WZ being dead he cannot do anything to keep up justice and peace from the grave, and he cannot protect JC and his son, who might both be in danger due to their bloodline. So imo WZ’s sacrifice was not thought through. Making a sad ending ist just way easier than make a plausible and satisfying happy or open ending. So I really wish they’d given this story a different ending.
Same, it is just not the same. Plus dramas with this type of ending tend to linger even longer with "what ifs".
Agree! A more positive note would not have taken away from the meaning of everything that happened and it would not make people love the drama less, on the contrary.
Me too. I hope Phoenix Stage is released soon and hopefully it has a HE ❤️
I heard that too! But the book has a HE, we will see. I‘m not so happy with the pairing with PX either. I‘m not sure about the chemistry between them. Also I‘m not so sure about RJL pairing with Wang Herun for his newest drama. Imo he has the best chemistry with actresses like Li Landi or Bai Lu. We will see.

I have a severe case of „what ifs“. Can’t stop thinking about it. Now I wish WZ and JC hadn’t resolved their personal issues but everyone is alive and we get a season two where the new peace is threatened and the three of them plus Ziming have to work together again and JC and WZ will resolve their issues in the course of that ❤️
Why so low? Is it because people don’t like the actors and give bad ratings on purpose?
I didn’t read the entire novel, just pieces, so the changes didn’t really bother me, well some did. But imo Pei Yan was still depicted as a formidable opponent and a clever strategist. They could have reduced the obsession part.

I agree with your points and I had a few issues with this drama too, but it deserves way more than 6.8 imo, if at least for the high quality and the actors’ outstanding performances.
