the writing fell apart for me in the second half but like the first 10/15 eps of the story and acting were IMMACULATE.…
so true. It started a 10 out of 10 for me and then dropped significantly. I still enjoy watching it but I'm really getting annoyed by the whole Mary Sue aspect of CY like her struggles don't really seem tht big because well others face the consequences of her actions instead of her and of course she can never be defeated. heavy plot armor for the main characters makes it worse. and this whole dragging romance between the leads is very annoying too. I do like the leads together tho if only the writing remained as strong as the first couple of eps...
so im on episode 30 rn and I'm a bit confused. if anyone can help out: spoilers ahead
so why exactly did Changyu's father kill himself if he was actually loyal? who was he to the general? and is he connected to Xie Zhang somehow because isn't Wei yan XZ's uncle? also how did Changyu figure out Wei Qilin is her father before the general told her?
oooh actually this is very interesting. Realistic and mature. I don't like any of the actors here but the story sounds interesting and something that happens quite often in real life
I really like the serious character Bai Lu plays here, but from that first episode... this is very badly edited and things just skip and conveniently happen...
But I think there is a lot left, like really a lot, as its based on the novel!
I know!!! Like based on just the outro so much seems to be happening im just not sure how they're going to fit all of that in seamlessly and without it being rushed. I guess its the writing momentum problem of the show :/
its a nice series, though im not sure how long they can drag this i just finished episode 11 and it feels like there is not much left, maybe like max 10 more parts...
I guess maybe you think the chemistry is not exploding like in Lovely Runner because in that drama Sunjae was…
oh no, i actually love that they hate each other from the beginning. that's the most natural thing. i actually dislike insta love, im not sure what it is about them gazing at each other that feels less "real" in this one
On episode 4 and I'm really really enjoying this, it feels so fresh and the way the characters are brought together don't feel forced at all the plot is pretty strong until now, there are some convenient things happening here and there but definitely not distracting. I truly hope they go with this all the way and allow their romance to blossom naturally instead of forcing it.
But one thing, which is just my bias,... I don't feel the chemistry as much as I did with Sun Jae (I have to mention him im so sorry I love him sm ðŸ˜
Xu Kai is an impressive actor and for any actor you can see their genius in emotional roles and scenes. He nails…
I know he's a good actor, I like him a lot. What im mainly saying is that he has chosen very similar characters in the recent years. Majority are this stoic, cool and less expressive characters. It makes it feel like he's being type casted. Of course I have to say I have yet to see a couple of his previous works before this one but from all the clips and trailers I saw the majority of the characters gave me similar vibes.
