Don't like, don't watch. Simple rule in life that has served me well.We all have expectations but unless you are…
Well, you'd have to watch a bit first to know if you like it or not... š
Also, ranting doesn't necessarily mean hating (there seem to be a lot of people who cannot tell the difference...). Sometimes it is just disappointment at seeing an actor/actress who you like acting their guts out in a story that makes no sense or against a partner who isn't well matched.
Oh dear another teacher-student saga... I cannot say that I'm a fan of this trope. It brings back some unpleasant memories of another torturous drama with a similar storyline. I will give it a try for Xiao Zhan and I hope they did a better job this time with a less annoying FL.
Sounds interesting... I'm relieved to see that some people are still able to come up with a story line for a short-length series that doesn't have any transmigrated visitors from modern times to drive the plot.
He's an actor, why can't he do his job properly? It's ok if he doesn't like to do these scenes, that is his choice, but then why does he always have to take roles as the romantic lead? There are plenty of other roles around...
To me this is like a person who cannot speak French who wants to work as translator for a French magazine. Totally nonsensical.
Maybe they got scared of their own courage... if this drama is really based on the Bloody Romance web novel as…
Thanks for the clarification... Yeah, all that white-washing is annoying! Not even the villains are allowed to real unhinged mass-murderers... soon the only antagonists that are still allowed will be the delusional SFL that says "I will kill her" every five minutes ššš
did youku forget about this??? The world NEEDS a female assassin protagonist from Tang dynasty
Maybe they got scared of their own courage... if this drama is really based on the Bloody Romance web novel as has been suggested further down on this page, in the current climate it may be a bit too risky to air even if they thoroughly clean it up.
This drama made into the top 20 of the Maoyan Pro 2023 Top 20 Online Drama Hot List for the First Half of 2023 (ranked 13th) which should be good news in itself. However, the fact that JT's other drama for this year (the one that shall not be named) won 2nd position on this list makes me seriously question people's judgement.
Just read that this drama is ranked 2nd on the Maoyan Pro 2023 Top 20 Online Drama Hot List for the First Half of 2023 (first is TTEOTM). I really cannot understand why...
The drama series is cobbled together from the three books in the Evil Hypnotist series each one with a different hypnotist helping detective Luo Fei. So far I have only fully read the first volume, and that one is definitely not BL. I would presume itās the same with the other two volumes. The hypnotist Lu FengPing only appears in the 3rd volume and from the bits that I have read, he is quite a different character than in the drama version. The focus of the books is more on human psychology and crime solving than on the relationship between the detective and the hypnotist (Ling Mingding in the first book). I think the drama was falsely promoted as a BL to surf on the popularity of the genre which in the end did not do it any service.
Agree! Iām watching it right now and have to say, they just donāt make dramas like that anymore! Brilliant acting, great story and not an idol-boy in sight!
I loved it and think that is is quite underrated. It has some great acting, also from some of the support actors and a beautiful love story between a second ācoupleā. There are some great battle scenes towards the end. The tone changes after the first few episodes that appear rather light-hearted. It also has one of the most annoying emperors that I have ever seen and the romance is really slow. The main couple are in agreement, but somehow they have trouble getting together. It really is more about court politics than sweet romance.
What's with that stupid robotic demon voice? It's such a joke. The drama is not great, but still watchable if…
Lately, many directors have been experimenting with adding āhumourā (or their idea thereof) where there wasnāt supposed to be any. So far all the experiments that Iāve seen have been a big fat failureā¦
Just finished ep 33, I made it in 3 days, FL and ML love each other so much, but I still dont get it, why FL should…
Yeah, I donāt think anyone ever understood thisā¦ but as you know, every C-drama must have the obligatory ābreak-upā shortly before the end, no matter how ridiculous the reason..
The WeTV postef New post and the caption said WeTV2023preview and stay tuned I think it going to release before…
Itās strange how for this one there is an announcement and trailer now, but the drama is only coming later, and for others the trailer is released like 5 min before they drop the first episodeā¦
