Maybe it didn't attract as much attention as they were hoping for and now they want to quickly get it over with so that they can push out something else... I absolutely love this drama and especially the way it was filmed, but it seems to somehow fall in between all the popular categories (not really a BL, not really a suspense thriller, etc.) I regard this more as an art-film where the mood and the visuals are more important than the story, but that may not be everyone's cup of tea.
This is giving me the movie seven vibes. Not a complete remake, but there’s a lot of similarities.
This movie played an important role in the 2nd volume of the novel series. I haven't read that one yet, but most of the cases that we see in the beginning of the drama (the model, the rich dandy, the restaurant owner) are all taken from that 2nd volume.
Personally, I don't care much about spoilers, but I know that some people are very sensitive about this because it will ruin the experience for them. It's such an insignificant "effort" to keep everyone happy, so why not do it?
personally, i liked the end of ep 18. the emotional damage. the confessions. the tears. perfect!
I absolutely loved that episode! All of it! I know many people will say that there was not much happening other than lots of flashbacks, but it was so atmospheric and beautifully shot! Some of those shots by the ruins were true pieces of art. And we finally know why Captain Luo dislikes the colour purple...
Honestly I don’t like the way liang yin treats LFP,his mother saved her from a rapist & died as a result….but…
Maybe tick the spoiler box for this one... not everyone has watched that far yet 😏 And yes, I agree with you. Her behaviour in the drama is quite childish.
The ability of both MLs to develop trust in and intimacy with one another is central to the plot. I wouldn't call…
I see we have quite a different take on this... interesting! What I meant with nobody needs a friend like LF was him breaking into LFP's appartment and doing an illegal search. In many jurisdictions the two hairs that he found would be inadmissable as evidence as they were obtained without a search warrant. A friend is someone where you can turn up in the middle of the night, covered in blood and they will still trust you enough not to ask any questions. LF has never trusted LFP from the beginning, He has been holding back what he knows about his mother's case even though he knows how important this is to him. It was also the one condition LFP had for helping them, but LF didn't hold up his side of the bargain, so why on earth should LFP still help with their investigation? LFP has abandonment issues as he lost his mother at a young age and is desperate to make friends. You can see this already in the scene where he comes to the police office one day and they are all out. I don't think that he cries because he's ruined any potential friendship with LF, but because he realised that the friendship that he imagined never existed. He said it clearly at his mother's grave that he has no regrets doing what he feels is right. And he also made this crucial comment during the interrogation in ep. 16 when he says: 'Luo Fei, I should never have counted on you.' This expresses his disappointment with the other jumping to conclusions based on two hairs quite directly. That bitter smile says disappointment, not regret.
Right now, any place with subs will do!!! While waiting I've started re-watching a few episodes with the Viki subs, but I cannot say that they yield any great revelations plot-wise. I've grown so used to Land Breeze Level and Old Box - without them something is missing 😂😂😂
They're not really letting her step into her protector role, as soon as the drama starts to deviate from the novel…
Yep! I really loved the novel because it had a strong female lead who could take care of herself (and the injured dragon), so if they change this part it will be a major disappointment! The first episode gave me some very strange comedy vibes that I find highly mis-placed. I hope this isn't yet another useless attempt by the script-writer to turn all and everything into a bleeding comedy instead of having the courage of leaving the darkness where it's supposed to be! I still haven't forgiven them for Unchained Love!
Had a quick look at the first episode... Well, it started with a bang, right a one of the most crucial scenes in the whole story but then it fell flat very quickly. Those spirit creatures looked like something out of a bad 80s fantasy movie. And why would they turn the FL into such a useless disciple? She is supposed to be insubordinate and reckless, not talentless and too stupid to learn. At least they didn't give her a baby-voice, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much...
Here's the synopsis (machine translation from Douban): Xuan Qiancao, the daughter of a guilty minister, has outstanding aptitude and is determined to avenge her father's grievances. She is actively looking for a strong backer. The emperor's illegitimate son, Chen Tongxue, is tricked by the Crown Prince, and brought into a critical situation. Two people with different thoughts approach each other and use each other , but in the end they fall in love with each other after going through life and death situations again and again. They join hands to fight against the enemy and seek a peaceful and prosperous world for the people of the world.
Why is Bai Ya Xing trying to exact revenge on Dr. Ling when he himself is the one to blame for his girlfriend's…
I haven't seen ep. 17 yet as I'm waiting for the subs, but in the novel (volume 1) it's Ling Mingding's wife who commits suicide because of depression. Bai Ya Xing uses this to destroy Ling Mingding's professional reputation and discredit his type of hynotherapy. So either they have changed the story around or you misunderstood...

Was the budget too tight for any decent CGI?
If they deliberately mess this up I will be so mad 🤬🤬🤬🤬
