Which episode did you get up to? I've been on ep. 20 for 6 weeks and haven't felt inclined to finish it
20 was where I started to get frustrated about where some things were going. But I feel like it got back on track around 25ish? Also I loved the 2nd CP
I thought Vengo Gao looked like he had fun and was relaxed making this. This is a solid, fun swashbuckling type adventure. It doesn't really get bogged down on side stories either. Everything had a purpose and made for a straightforward show.
Also if anyone knows what was the joke about "are you using it as an adjective or a verb"? on their wedding night.
Sex. She was asking about if he meant the night in general should be fine or if IT (*the sex*) would be fine. YS basically answered sex but didn't know that was what he was saying.
If this had been my first 2000s Taiwanese drama, I'm not sure I would have ejoyed it as much. But since I did see Meteor Garden and Devil Beside You first, I was able to appreciate My Lucky Star. I could deal with the stupid misunderstandings and be patient to see how things work out. This was somewhat more endearing to me and I think my favorite of the 3 old school dramas.
I pretty much am learning Chinese dynasty styles through cdramas and this one felt different in a good way! I know it says Tang in the alternate titles but maybe it is Late Tang because it also felt a little Ming? Just feels slightly more modern with the mix of styles from trading with Middle East. I mean it is historical fiction so I know designers can have fun with it. I like it!
I was pleased they didn't drag it out to 16 episodes. It was nicely paced and they dedicated the last episode to satisfying glimpses into everyone's life.
Some fun characters and romance but unfortunately I would say it is ok to skip.
Good start to 2025!
