Your comment says a lot about how women are portrayed in xianxia/wuxia/historical C-dramas. Not a normal woman…
I always wonder if chinese women are disturbed by their portrayal on most dramas. Its becoming unbearable for me. It also makes no sense, many dramas are made with a mostly female target audience in mind but the most interesting characters are male.
I'm rewatching and i just realised that Ling yue is hilarious for example in episode 5 the scene where he rejects the Princess in front of his Dad and family. I just realised that the Emperer forced him to attend that meal and he ultimately said I will just stand here and watch you eat... I think I was just looking at his face the first time I watched tbh.
That scene in episode 20-21 where He Zhao Jun (Estelle Chen) executes that guy was so good. I hope Leo Wu and Zhao Lu Si have an opportunity to show their acting skills like that, but I also dont want anything that bad to happen to them.
I stopped watching AvenueX's reviews when I realized her and I have different tastes in dramas. So not worth wasting…
Same I realised we had different tastes when she rated TSOM low but i thought maybe she doesnt like Zhao Liying. She rated this one a bit low too so I think she might not be biased just doesnt like family centric period dramas. I am personally obsessed with these types of dramas.
Why do you need to mention WRTW? Why call it ridiculous and yet you can’t take people’s criticism of ADoS?…
Im sorry just because you like it doesnt mean its not ridiculous. Tbh I dont think WRTW is that bad. Im just uncomfortable with the double standards. I actuallly think 8.5 is a perfect rating i just find the criticisms for this drama ...strange.
How does a ridiculous drama like WRTW get a 8.7 rating and this gets a 8.5. This drama is not necessarily perfect but from reading the comments people are way too critical of this drama although it is very well made. If it was a typoical idol drama most people wouldnt be so harsh in rating it.
