Slight Rant on Bai Feng's characterization. She's our typical antagonist down to the bare drive of why she turned evil: all for a man. It was such an idiotic addition to the story. There were ways to make her more 3D and carved out but apparently the writers think it's enough to simply have everything explained using her obsession with the ML. You can't simply just create a character who was obsessive on the get-go without giving reasons as to why she turned out the way she did. No background explanation other than the ML's companion (and she was somehow vicious back then too). First thing's first: there should be more than just her obsession. driving her to hate FML and make all of these choices. She's not only irrationally making choices, but also have no other motivation other than the deeply embedded jealousy. She's forced to be the antagonist with no redeeming traits like why she is the way she is or what makes the ML so shiny. Not a simple "he grew up with me and we depended on each other". What makes him worth the trouble? There's no way that they were shouldering that much pain growing up because Lu Li was gentle and naive which means unless Bai Feng grew up from the depths of hell itself, she couldn't have possibly developed such vicious nature.
To summarize: 2D, only drive was obsession which in-turn developed into a sense of greed for power, basically 0 context as to why she was so vicious, and sort of forced to be an evil immature/jealous person without any justification.
She's basically made to further the female lead's love, sacrifice for the male lead, give them trouble and suddenly they die because of their love for the male lead. It was too annoying for me to watch cause it was just so unbelievable they actually still had a character like this. I thought writers were past these brainless characters since 2015 but I guess big productions like these are about following trends and not actually caring about how their characters bring meaning and impact to the story.
Most of these dramas are created for China Prime Time, and are targeted at families, and the middle school to…
Okay now that is generalizing. China has a large population which means each province has its own culture. Not only China holds those views as well. All around the world, it has been very unfriendly towards woman.
On another note, I do agree that the FL character build sucks. She’s somehow strong, intelligent but then her IQ dips when scene calls for some angst stuff. Not to mention Bai Feng being the classic annoying cockroach who doesn’t die despite warranting death multiple times. Her face annoyed me so much but I can’t complain at how good the actress makes my blood boil. Females are type casted into the classic maiden angel or twisted jealous white lotus. Im fed up
Why is the MDL rating so low? I’m in episode 25 and am loving this drama, love the story. Bin Bin looks absolutely…
Trigger warning because I’m getting quite frank. I believe its because the story flow isn’t consistent and lack in different areas. Its just another xianxia drama with the typical troupes. The same character set ups regarding antagonist, female lead, male lead, story lines (plural because they smashed a bunch of ideas together with glue). Basically, its just another white shirt. Not to say that it’s bad, it just doesn’t have much unique elements to it. I can guess where things are going everytime a new plot rolls around which means script has been replayed too many times, I can find the ending before it ends. Whoever has been voting, they may have been a veteran or someone who have watched various dramas which would explain its low score.
I was so into it that when I watched ep 11 in public…I cringed so badly that I couldnt finish it within 8 hours outside…I had to get home and then watch it…
This drama isn’t looking for fans. Its looking to portray art. Although the silence sometimes give eerie vibes, it also felt like floating amongst the noises
I’ve completed this drama in 2 days. I was simping over Nan Xu Yue at the beginning, bored around the middle, so done with the ending…it was good but it sounded a bit like, “with the power of friendship.” In the end. But it was a fun journey
"Master, I've lost two people I shouldn't".........NO! NO! NO! NO!You lost THREE! THREE!Can't even spare a last…
I thought so to but unless she meant Mo Fang and not her dad. She never had a dad in the first place…but then again…well…tough calls…how do u lose something you’ve never had?
This gave me a mini-heart attack because hiding something always makes me feel guilty and avoidant. I was so scared the entire time it was unfolding but I realized the story would definitely soften the blow
Ah, yes. The classic “elite warrior loses once and immediately pivots to seduction” trope. Because obviously,…
Before we jump into any societal debate…can we just stop and think maybe the woman was being petty and her ego just didnt allow her to lose to a nobody so she went undercover to play with him?
She’s so pretty! I liked her different styles in Miss Ye in Wonderland. I wanted to watch more of her work but it seems like she isnt in acting. Looking forward to seeing her in more dramas!
Okay…I finished it and I think I liked this ending the best out of all the transmigration drama out there so far (not counting unique lady…there’s 3 seasons and its messy.) I like how they expanded on the real life part and gave us closure. I got PSTD from ROTAR and LGIEF because they didn’t give us a good chunk of closure. I enjoyed the silly plot and its definitely got my stress back to 0. I forgive the writer for writing a messing middle plot because they ended things sort of well. Its like tying a rope together and making sure it didnt break. Comgrats to those who have completed and those who will complete it because it is a tough nut to crack.
Tried watching this but first episode was so dumb I feel like I'm insulting my brain cells. 🤣 ...I'm out!
Good job. Ive found 13 loopholes while watching. Im on episode 18. Looks like it shouldve ended but somehow the writer wants to add another 1800 words to get to the ending. I want this to end
Watching a fair share of cdramas, i can say that this could’ve ended around 20 episodes because I just skipped from 13 to 36 and it seems like I didn’t miss much. To guess, I suppose the consort was manipulated to get rid of Ji Chu’s mom by the empress because the empress saw the emperor’s interest in her. Empress then tried to murder the emperor after scheming to discredit Ji Chu with some felony accusations. She wants her son as a puppet emperor and she must’ve taken over the wei family’s militia or broken down their power and raised some sort of military army in secret. But her son was righteous so he worked with Ji Chu to dismantle his mother’s militia control. Not sure how correct or incorrect I am but it seems like there isn’t much I will miss aside from major character arcs and death of the princess. Ill watch this when there’s nothing else to watch.
I remember watching all episodes on youtube back in middle school. It was hard trying to remember what it was called but I specifically remember when she went back home and her house was bagged up. Thats what I remember most clearly…think its been like 6ish years
