I really wanted to come back to Immortal Samsara and LLTG but I caaaan', I caaan't! there are reasons why I stopped…
IS just turned out so disappointing. I just dropped it after the first arc…. Like it literally just fell flat after the whole emotional heart wrenching arc they put us through…. 🙄
lol. I randomly came across one of her fashion shoots with Charles Lin, looks like it was for a mag… she’s actually very attractive with normal hair. Like she looks good in modern attire. Poor her, they gave her like some odd hairstyle here… I guess it’s to suit her odd character/personality for her role… 🤣
My main issue with these kinds of dramas are that there are usually little to no down time. The focus is always…
I just completed NiF and I was left with depression, slight annoyance and loadsa angst. Lol. I gave it a 8.5 though… as much as the revenge plot was brilliant it was so monotonous and off-balance… they shouldn’t have called it NiF… should have called it Mei Chang Su.
Yea, I think it’s coz SSS was significantly shorter than JoL… so it kinda could do with maybe another 5 episodes or so to give it more fun by elaborating on the sub-plots. I’m surprised this didn’t garner many viewers though, only 6k+ viewers on MDL….
What a surprise of a gem - was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did! And it was wonderfully executed.
Haha same! When I started watching this I thought it was going to be one of those like low-mid budget C-dramas…. They release so many of those every yr I.e Miss the Dragon (I totally dropped this), For Married Doctress, etc…
So I watched it without expectations… Geez, I ended up rating it a 9. The CGI here is top notch…. And the OSTs were amazing too….
Tbh the people saying that the ml was very reserved or they r were boring actually do not know the real story...to…
Yes exactly! I thought it was super unique actually… like if sucha person existed now I’m sure many girls will be swept of their feet. Chivalry is almost extinct 🤣 the family and his manor was also an eye-opener. I wondered if places like that still existed and if traditional Chinese families actually call for opera singers to their home….
Yea it is but even the novel is quite mellow unlike Untamed with explicit scenes in the novel… I personally find their chemistry off the charts better than the 2 leads in Untamed…. Perhaps due to them being more experienced/seasoned actors…
Trying to finish Immortal samsara maybe when I have the motivation, I watch another ongoing kdrama Big Mouth.Waiting…
Ah… yea… make sense…. I do like tasks, missions etc… but yea, it has to be balanced…. I realised so many series are so off-balanced… ah… also now that you mention it, it’s the chemistry as well….. the chemistry totally disappeared once they got to the mortal realm…. Like the whole like unbreakable bond kinda thing. Like the way he looks at her and she looks at him etc…

I actually like tried to think of why though…. And I still couldn’t figure it out… it’s partly because the 2 leads are not as charming/visually perfect as the Eternal Love series……? I actually thought the storyline was acceptable though….. I don’t really know why I got so impatient…. And annoyed…. Aside from I’m not really a fan of the 2 leads, neither do I dislike them….. 🤔

Yea the difference was just too huge and also so abrupt…. And then it made me realise how amazing Eternal Love and Eternal Love of Dream is for being able to maintain things for 3 lifetimes/realms… lol I just took it for granted then coz those 2 were one of the first few C-dramas I watched….
I totally didn’t enjoy The Longest Day in Chang’an…. Probably just skip it…
Serious. Even I was like…. Why did everyone rate this thing so high… I mean yea, the cinematography and production quality is really high though, you can tell it’s super high budget. It’s closer to a movie… But the whole thing in terms of flow and logic was like….. why….. did they have to do this…. Have you watched 24 the American series before? So basically 24 is successful partly because they don’t have like 50 important characters…. Like the important roles are kept to a minimum because it is meant to be a sequence of events occurring over 1 day only. Viewers were very engaged and invested in the ML following him across the entire series… this one I totally felt like I got conned coz I followed the MLs and in the end I got nothing…. The entire plot as much as it was surprising had to be explicitly and verbally revealed by some dude I don’t even really remember…. I had to go back to the older episodes to find him. 🤣
I haven’t watched this, I just finished Nirvana in Fire and also feel a little odd, maybe my expectations were too high… so I’m a little concerned on starting all these super political and heavy kinda series. I feel C-dramas still haven’t really nailed this genre yet. I’ve heard really good things about The Advisor’s Alliance though… 🤔 so just looking around now….
