Enigma05

Not sure if it’s some sort of sign from my sick brain but I actually fell asleep around 5am with heavy headache meds (just another day at the what else can go wrong at the enigma health office), to different couplets of how to put together a review for this series; don’t know if y'all are secretly praying for me to write one or whatever energy it is lol. But was hella strange for sure. 😆

Thank you I appreciate it. Yeah with the reviews skyrocketing and most of them being very similar. I will probably not write anything in that section but just come here and comment on what I thought in general and if that seems like a review to some people then maybe I will copy and paste it into there and call it a day but otherwise it’s just going to be considered a comment that will be buried with all the other ones lol. Yeah the military arc was very disappointing so I have no idea what neither the screenwriter or nor the director were really thinking about what they did given what ZLH himself said in numerous interviews regarding what he actually filmed. But I’m hoping that these last five episodes will bring our general back to life so to speak.

I think it started off very strongly and then it just kind of tapered off the military arc disappointed me a lot and this palace arc since we just started it we will see how it goes. I know that a lot of people who don’t rate something at 10 or don’t rainbow fart something into oblivion are labeled as haters and you know, I really don’t care because it’s just another person sitting behind a phone or a keyboard. Whenever I wrote my reviews, I would write what I liked and what I didn’t like in an unbiased fashion, it wasn’t because of the way an actor did something or whatever I would always look at it from the standpoint of the screenwriter. Because it’s ultimately their words that are turned into action. And if it’s weak screenwriting, then that’s what gets transmitted to the audience via the actors. I like those dramas were the actors have input with the director about how to say a certain line or perform a certain action or do something. Sometimes they have it sometimes they don’t. In this case, I kind of felt that the director overpowered the actors a lot because you hear them talk about that in their interviews how they were always nervous about what the director would queue them to do next. I find that to not be a very professional thing. I understand a director has a vision, but you also have to be realistic because an audience has to believe what they are saying and if you make something too unbelievable like what I felt happened within the military arc it hinders the natural development of characters and the drama. I also look at things from a certain point of view because I myself am a novelist/author as well as a former editor of screen place or scripts from friends that work in higher places so to speak. So if I would write something, I wouldn’t be writing it from just in opinion based whatever. I would really think about how it looks from someone who’s writing it or editing it.

Thank you.

She works out lol.

Before I honestly didn’t even care, how many comments or rather how many other reviews there were I would just write it, and I knew that the people who appreciated my reviews would’ve read them regardless of whether they were on the first page or the second to last page since the last page is usually for people they’re right in foreign languages. But I want to give a drama like this something that people can understand and agree with them there will be some that disagree with it as well, so we will see how it goes. In any case, we are finishing the last five episodes with all villains and all their treachery and I really hope that the edit ending is satisfying and not what I’ve been hearing on the street based off of the stupid leaks, so we shall see. In any case there are still a few good reviewers out there that write their opinions, but keep it in an unbiased manner and are still able to convey properly what they want.

Keep us posted if those subs continue to be good because sometimes they start off good and then they just taper off and I’ve had that unfortunate experience.

I will wait until I finish POJ also love beyond the grave premieres on Saturday so we will see and as for this show I’m going to wait and see if a certain YouTube channel will subtitle it. Otherwise I’m probably not gonna be able to see this show unless some illegal site has normal subs because I’m not shelling out a penny for abysmal MG TV subs.

Just comments in the section I have not written anything otherwise. I did say if I felt up to it, I may combine some of my comments if I can find them in this mess and do a different type of review as opposed to what I used to do for six years. But I do hope to eventually return to writing reviews on all shows maybe once in a while when I can muster the concentration, I will do one for a show, but it won’t be every single show like I used to do.

Sorry, dear no reviews for a while. I have taken a hiatus due to health issues in writing reviews. Hopefully there are still some unbiased reviewers left. I have found one.

I wrote up there that I’m not writing a review. Maybe you didn’t read that carefully. I have taken a hiatus from writing reviews for a while due to health issues. I’ve already missed two shows of review writing. This will be number three. Besides at the rate, they are being written and most sounding the same, I will leave the review writing to the small amount of people who remain unbiased and are able to write in-depth proper reviews. As I spoke with someone else a few days ago, hopefully eventually I can return to it, but for now I cannot.

Time to drag drugged husband….max effort and several tries plus director input is required lol: https://weibo.com/7967655953/5280688041100037

I don’t have a number because I have not finished it yet, but four is definitely low. In my opinion I mean even DB gave it a 6.8.

You hope what’s done by Sunday? The show? Express is today, so it’ll be done today.

Reviews move around and are shifted every few days so very soon. You will see all the tens up top.

I don’t think I’ll be able to write a review besides there’s so many up there. I don’t think the majority are even being read maybe the first few pages and that’s it. I will rate it though, and I will say my peace here after I’m done watching.

4 episodes on day one.
