I thought all this time I've been watching in 4K on IQIYI but today it wouldn't let me. Only 1080P! Other shows on same app still in 4K. Anyone else experienced this???
Whenever I rewatch this drama I feel bad for wasting my time on other dramas whose writing cannot touch 3% of this. This is the only time I would say 73 episodes were truly not enough! What a masterpiece 👏🏼
What do people mean when they say the plot was weak.??? The 'SOUL MANOR' was the plot, and oh my did the leads deliver in this often difficult onscreen romance and multiple kisses🤭. I'm definitely not complaining 😅... Infact, I'm eternally grateful for CFY and WYL and the person who cast them together ❤️
I am a fan of Yang² but.....this one missed the mark for me especially after all the hype. The cinematography reminded me of 2017 dramas including the female cast's makeup, FL was not spared! Also, if the show doesn't give enough airtime to women its just best to say there isn't any FL otherwise it creates wrong expectations.
As for the plot, I felt I wasn't quite sold on Han Li's motivations as in it failed to resonate with me. It was quite an emotionless experience with all the mechanical aspects but lacking heart. And I do not mean romance, it was actually going to be awkward considering the leads' lack of chemistry.
Perhaps the storytelling was too linear with the production trying to go through as much chapters as possible without adding the necessary elements to make it a wholesome experience. As much as I liked Nirvana in Fire it also suffered from this. By episode 22 NIF lost some spark for me whereas with this show I dont really think I ever experienced the spark with only my love for Yang² spurring me to finish it. It wasn’t a disaster but it wasn't great either.
To those who love it, I'm sorry I dont mean harm but I needed to let this out otherwise I might go crazy...sorry:(
There was a reason I stopped watching k traumas but clearly I must have forgotten. The problem is the synopsis never paints a true picture of how disturbing some of the ideologies are. That evil shaman had no business being alive until the end let alone deserve pity from the 'friend' or spirit mother. I'm not even sure if 15 year olds possess the emotional capacity required to discern how evil she really was. Hell, even older people would find some of it disturbing. She deserved to be burned in 20000000000000000°C heat in the darkest parts of hell that would scare the Grim Reaper himself!
I have also been watching Song Joongki's My Youth but now I'm not so sure if its going to be another traumatic one. Annyeong kdrama, wont be back anytime soon
These actors know how to play the worst fathers and her dad was so good that I probably don't want to watch anything else he's going to act in 😅..what a piece of work
When I say I want romance in a drama this is what I mean! Bravo to the entire team for bringing us this masterpiece. I have always enjoyed CFY's acting and he really embodies Sima Jiao and has that mighty screen presence.
My only gripe is making everyone a villain at some point but fortunately we don't care about anyone else except the leads.
