The funniest thing is that I expected it. Happy endings are a rarity in Chinese dramas these days. It's exhausting.
IKR? We got a reprieve for a few years, but it seems sad endings are back in full force. My trust issues have trust issues at this point, I hate it. Guess I won't be starting anything anymore until it's over and I know it's a good ending. What pisses me off the most, though, is that from what I understand, they shot two different endings.
I honestly don’t understand why so many people are excited that Lici finally beat up Liu Yan.To begin with,…
"Lici had a million chances to show everything to Yan, but for some reason he only did it when it no longer mattered." I disagree: I'm only at episode 19, but they've been saying that he's been looking for Liu Yan for years, they haven't seen each other since they parted ways. And when they finally met up again, Li Ci did tell him the truth. The first time, in the illusion, he tried and couldn't get a word in, but he did say it the second time. It's not his fault Liu Yan didn't believe him.
This is the first time I’m watching a drama with these actors, except for Jun Ning Zhang.The first two episodes…
If you like martial arts, you should check out The Blood of Youth and Word of Honor, they're both fantastic. Cheng Yi's quite popular now, so he has a few dramas under his belt. You might want to check out Mysterious Lotus Casebook.
ep 2 was even better, this is a pretty emotional case, I felt for this guy and his wifeworking with that incompetent…
Yes, I just hope the show doesn't stray into office politics too much. Those can be so infuriating... just like that guy. I kinda wanted to slap him every single time he opened his mouth.
entertaining though I can't put my finger on exactly why, I feel like it's not my type of thing but still it's…
Might be the underdog aspect of it all. You can't help but cheer for ML to succeed and overcome everything that stands in his way. Plus, this ML is pretty level-headed, which is always nice to see.
Hmmm.. i dont understand the supposed righteousness of the righteousness sects... stealing from.one another killing…
The thing about cultivation stories is that the so-called righteous sects are often filled with terrible people who take themselves extremely seriously.
Depends what you're looking for. I personnally find it pretty boring, badly directed, badly lit, and badly written.…
Tbh I feel like it's both. There were scenes that had clearly been shot outside that looked really bad even though the landscape should have been pretty... I don't know what you mean about background research. I did mention I'd watched 3 seasons of the donghua before. I've watched countless similar stories and have been watching dramas for over 15 years. So yes, I do know what I'm talking about. Just because you don't like my opinion doesn't mean I'm ignorant. Cheers.
I personnally find it pretty boring, badly directed, badly lit, and badly written. The lighting makes even pretty landscapes look bad, and is cold and very hard. The editing is dreadful: it keeps fading to black and then picking up somewhere completely different. The CGI is bad, but that's nothing new in Cdramaland.
It's still pretty entertaining when you get to the actual action and when ML pulls off something great, but the rest is pretty boring imo.
Do keep in mind that I might be biased because I've seen 3 seasons of the donghua already so I'm not watching this with a fresh eye.
This is my personal opinion, though, and I'm somewhat picky, so yours might be different, though. Anyone who attacks me for it will be blocked with extreme prejudice. It's perfectly fine if you enjoy it.
From 2 main roles to 5 main roles. Now even Mo’s Daughter become main role.
Yes, I was confused by this as well: I don't remember her being present beyond this arc in the donghua. I also don't remember any sisters or so many wives?
