For any future watchers. This drama invites extreme emotions, you hate it or you hate it to the Core. But can’t help wanting to see the end. I dropped it once deliberately, but then I started some quality drama, but a little devil on my shoulder kept wanting me know what the hell happens to this lot. And here I am back again. At moments it’s brilliant. I think that in hindsight we will note that even when the story is terrible, the actors did a great job. All of them. Like the second male lead , now we really hate him. Wonderful, right? It’s just a story. And it seems it keeps us hooked, for all the reasons (good or bad). I actually enjoy this better than some conventional super quality thingy , at this moment in the week. Peace and love.
So where is the comedy in this? The single thing that irritates me so far whilst watching this pretty good acting , is how the entry music theme doesn’t reflect at all, but at all, the mood of the story, the emotions. I am in fact quite impressed by some proper acting by some of the actors . Including our ML, whom I see for the first time in a role where he gets real angry and actually expresses it through credible emotions and words. (Yes I did like TBOY, there he did a good job, but here to the least the same!). For all who are annoyed by the FL, a gentle reminder that every time she died, she lost all memory of earlier lives. What makes this story different is that it started when she is brought to life the third time, and trough encounters with protagonists from her earlier life, she is backtracking earlier experiences. Quite clever plot, in fact. The rating here is low for what it is, at least for me.
I never gave up on a drama with XZL. Until this one. Gone back to the Eternal love, now watching and enjoying season 3. Bye all and see u later on another page.
I just finished to watch the movie of 'Memoirs of a Geisha' and wanted to say she did her role so good in this…
Isn’t it ? That movie is one of my all time favourites Totally forgot who played the geisha, until I saw those eyes and thought: where did I see them before? Such a good actress.
How do you define good acting? Just by the amount of kiss scenes one has in a drama and if the kiss scenes are…
Thank you for your comment. Most of these actors are very young people (he is only 25 now), often with no background of drama school, like our ML here. He came from the idol producing factory SM Entertainment? I can’t imagine the pressure these youngsters are under, to perform premium all the time, under the scrutiny of very critical viewers. Meaning, in all honesty (and again, just my personal opinion, no offence meant) am I looking for that premium acting in these series? Nope; for that I’ll be watching something else. For now, again my personal opinion, what I am reading from the story and the way it is performed , it is what I wrote above :). Peace again.
Having seen such a mixed feeling about the drama in this forum made me go back to some of the earlier work of the ML, also to recall why did I like him a lot some time ago. And I remember now: he is not bad at all, he is playing the roles he gets, and his performance is very much dependent of the FL he gets. Like this, he was (just according to me, peace and love :), very good in the eternal love series, in You are my destiny (with same lady), in the one with Bai Lu (will never forget the explosion of emotions and kiss in the hallways in front tot the bathrooms in the bar), and with the lady vampire. Which makes me think wether the FL is casted well enough here. The ML is playing what he is: some high level guy with a million heavy duty secrets , introvert and secretive, and protective of his loved ones up to becoming altruistic and have her rather leave him and stay safe, than being together in mortal danger.
The SML plays also what he needs to be in this show: an infatuated goodie deep down, who can’t let go, does stupid things that are very human, had a tacit and then explicit understanding with the ML with their common aim being keeping that lovely woman and the child of the ML (because he knows it is not his) safe and sound.
I like the drama a lot, yesterday I even had a “dream of splendour” feel moment. Just my take, peace.
Would be interested to hear how is it doing in China.
kinda messed up that he loves a girl who looks like his sister. should be illegal
The siblings didn’t grow up together. They were separated 17 yes ago in the story. And he knew from moment 1 that this one is not his sister. So no problem at all.
Super cool story. Could find a fault in it, here too on all time favorites list, and totally unexpected, right? Beautiful actors, lovable characters Healthy relationships, Real kisses! Real good / evil depicting with that fairy tale like hahahaha vicious 😹 laugh Super comic! Laughed out loud , with tears at times Very funny how the general was so often with bare upper body, with a liter of oil on him 🧐 I loved the strong women take, and even more the super supportive male(s)
Interesting how they make these dramas like something on the side. Would be curious to know how is one of these received in China.
