At this point I watched all 6 episodes that came out to start. This is not going to be for everyone, especially since it appears that you NEED 3-4 episodes to even start to tolerate the way the story is told. The "comedy" does tone down with each episode.
Right now the biggest negative for me still is that it seems like they are cutting scenes but still referring to cut scenes later. This is a major plot point in episode 6 that had me actually go back through the previous episodes to make sure I hadn't somehow forgotten the scene being "revealed" in flashback.
Without spoiling WHAT it's about, I'd had a question about how and at what point the ML and FL were "suddenly" closer and developing feelings. I shrugged it off. Ep 6 flashback scene basically SHOWS when the change happened but again it didn't happen for us to see ORIGINALLY in it's "proper" spot.
After watching the first two episodes I've gathered that this is simply one of those cheap cheesy costume dramas…
That weird forced "non-comedy" does seem to go almost completely away by the end of the 6th episode but I agree with you. I had a feeling the comedy was going to be continually toned down when it was slightly better in 2nd episode than the 1st and I was basically right. It's basically settled down to "sitcom" style comedy every so often.
I am. It's not bad. Better as it moves along... last night's episode antagonist sent shivers down my back when…
Yeah if you look at my earlier comment I watched the first 6 episodes and was underwhelmed and imo the first case made NO sense but I managed to "mostly" follow the second case. If it stays the way it is right now this will probably become a 7/10 for me with the 1st episodes lowering the rating average.
I am. It's not bad. Better as it moves along... last night's episode antagonist sent shivers down my back when he was introduced. VERY Uncanny Valley look to him.
After one episode I'm not sure how I feel. There's no comedy tag and I didn't laugh but it "felt" like the show was expecting me to laugh in several scenes... Rather I was rolling my eyes.
Okay so maybe I'm not smart but I honestly didn't understand the first case... it felt like it was jumping around. Maybe it was just me though and I spaced out for second or two amd missed important details, idk. I'm used to being able to play these on faster speeds though and this I watched all 6 eps on normal speed. 🤷♀️
wait a minute is this the first time IQIYI will aired a drama at 12 noon?
No, they aired Love's Rebellion then too last year and they air bunch of "smaller" shows then all the time. Basically they'll be competeing directly against The Blossoming Love which is also a Xanxia rather than agaisnt Guardians or Flourished Peony.
Saving the best for last? Omg I got chills watching ep 23 (This topic has always fascinated me). SO short of an episode basically 4:45 of actual skit (7:59 full runtimewith creeits), but it worked.
When I saw how short it was at first I was disappointed but dang it had definitely had a full story in such a…
Omg YES! I'm going to watch it now. it says 24 eps in the app now where it used to say 22 🤣🤡 And even the official calendar poster only has 22 episodes... I wonder what happened? (NOT complaining 🤣)
Episode 22, the final episode, was another WTF did I just watch? Sadly it doesn't bring back the entire ensemble…
When I saw how short it was at first I was disappointed but dang it had definitely had a full story in such a short run time. And yeah... I agree 😅 WTF.
Alrighty then, episode 21, Random? Life, was a weird one even for this series. I don't understand the end! 🤔Unless…
Exactly! It just REALLY didn't make a lot of sense because dude was like DON'T take the red. He's like OK. Then shows other guy taking the blue. Then HIM shoving the sand back in the red one.... it was just too loose to make sense even jumping to conclusions.
For some reason I thought for SURE 21/22 would be be 2 parts and almost didn't watch it 🤣 - It's not 🤷♀️ (Or at least it didn't say "Part 1" in the end story name.)
Maybe I missed something in ep.19 but I didn't think he was an antagonist?
Oh yeah House of Sins was an interesting one that I honestly just didn't fully understand tbh, but for the balloon one was supposed to be good with IT becoming the vessel instead of a person essentially (cause the "good" brother was using it to get rid of HIS bad emotions that kept building up by being the vessel.) That's why at the end when he was like "do you need my help" and got denied he offered him the balloon instead but the "non-vessel" brother was trying to learn to live with bad emotions so didn't want any help at all yet.
At least that's how I understood it. There have been a couple I've been more confused about than this one but they're all sort of hand-wavey.
