Wow.... Yiren is reaching new heights of stupidity. No excuse is going to work now.

Ep.28: the conversation between the two CY's is strange. I don't know how the director filmed this. They're not even looking at each other and that's not in-character.

If the production team was better, we could enjoy it all. But alas.

Fight scenes and Cheng Yi are the only reason I'm watching XD

This is currently my most anticipated drama😭 C'mon, give us something. A new trailer at least.

Guess I'll have to wait for Zhu Yu🙃

Yes, you said it perfectly

Agree

Could be XD

I've watched all those dramas you mentioned. I agree that FL in a journey to love was good but she's not the norm but rather the exception. I dropped LoFG because of the FL, the way she behaved was too illogical/irritating. It didn't help the actress looked like a teenage girl opposite the male lead actor.

That's what I said

It's not the fight scenes that are the issue.

That's why I suspect he was underweight during filming

True. The martial arts director is the only one earning his keep and CY of course XD

Yeah. A friend said he looks like a skull and I can sort of see that from the side profile😅

Yes but few are like Shi Rong. They try to make the FL cute, or indecisive, or not good at martial arts so she needs ML to save her all the time. Shi Rong is the kind of woman who can live her own life and be respected without having a husband whose the head of a powerful sect. That kind of female character is rare nowadays.

It's not just the ML and his intense feelings/crying. Certain scenes or characters behave in a way that doesn't make sense. I'm not sure which ep you're at but the plot is messy. It alternates between long expository scenes and then abruptly transitions to another, to the point some viewers wonder how a character got from point A to B.

Although the fight scene in Ep.27 was great, the relationship between LCZ and his wife is what drew my attention. There's a lot of trust and love between them, understanding each other to the point where they don't need to explain things to each other. One look and they know. That's a solid marriage. Zhao Shi Rong is respected for her abilities and in her own right as a martial artist, not just because she's the chief's wife. Wish Cdramas had more smart and capable female characters like her.

I feel the same way. I think it's a combination of the scriptwriter not doing good enough and the director not framing scenes properly.

I wonder if the actor who plays Yiren is underweight. His face is all sharp angles and not in a good way.
