She got the life she wanted. And let me include that if you are expecting her to end up with Gao Xing. I'm sorry,…
Well, yes there is no sappy romance in the end;; as time goes by, elders pass away and are mourned : younger generations rise and remember the shining days in the sun and get to know members of the extended family who gather together.... Capital battles are won through tightening of friends standing united against assault. The wind that swept Fang Wanzhi from her carefree life in the mountain to unknown ocean lets her standing at the top between her friends.
She did not need a husband and Gao Xiang accepted that long ago, even if FWZ dad recommended him A conventional family was never what she desired: watching Qianqian being used and herself being targeted as "possible breeder" only disgusted her deeply. She adopted the orphaned daughter of her employees, both out of duty and to give back the fate she had been handed at birth, not out of frustrated maternal instinct ; although she looked like a very good parent with what she provided together with her like minded associates.
She put up gracefully with Li Juan's obsession for her first love, although that obsession also excluded any tender feeling from her friend toward the possible sincere and eligible suitor She also put up with with Qianqian's visceral rejection of the man who had not wed her, but fathered her child, despite Qianqian's need for tender support ; she hastened to save her friend when QQ attempted to gamble with the stock exchange, almost losing her shirt in the process.. Friendship before all, focusing on each's talents rather than scolding and cutting ties, sometimes grudgingly accepting advice from the more academically learned and well-informed Gao Xiang, encouraging continuing education for those who felt they needed it (Li Juan), health care, more humane and inclusive working conditions and insurance for her employees, and including some former "reformed" foes who became her chauffeur, her canteen chef etc. She finally never needed an academic degree either.
Changyu refused to learn. It wasn't just her parents. Tutor Tao says Changyu lacked "wisdom". 🤣
Of course she is not stupid. Did you construe my reply as accusing you of uttering such a judgement ? !!
I have not read the novel, so was not sure she was illiterate there. Some readers said she helped teach Bao'er to learn reading (which I thought could not have happened when she was busy butchering pigs). But one who really read the novel through has also confirmed to me, that Changyu was indeed illiterate until she started to get taught painstakingly (not by Li Huai'an) much later. But even then, yes, not literate. So I admit I got mistaken in my impression from the comment further down thread about Bao'er, on this illiteracy. That's what happens when information goes along a long line of re-tellers : this is indeed not a good example of difference between script and original novel.
"Street smart" is a nice way to describe her phobia of conventional studies.
Kudos if you read through the 2000+ chapters: I admit I am too adhd to sit through such an ordeal 😁 Hope you had a nice weekend!
#TanSongyun's "#MyDestiny" reached a new high in viewership today with a peak of 3.4426 on #Kuyun, and…
It was n°1 in the "top ten" TV series over the week, as tallied by drama reporter Marcus, with "512 points", not breaking walls like blockbuster POJ on streaming, but an honorable score anyway. ❤️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6fsw2usvTI
The relationship between Fang Wan Zhi and her adopted dad improved but it just suddenly happens, more or less,…
There is little point in rating if you dropped the drama. Your 5.5 only contributes to drag down ratings as if you wanted to target the cast and crew and Seven Tan for not having brought to you what you expected. Likes or dislikes are personal and subjective of course, so nothing wrong in dropping if it was not "your cup of tea" after all.
normal fluctuation. it could go back up even over 7, in time. It's still stable at 6.9 on Douban , at the moment, while audiences are too busy gushing or warring over POJ
So, typically, I enjoy watching Bai Lu stuff, and Wang Xing Yue almost made "The Double" unwatchable for…
Yes Douban 6.9 as checked today on https://movie.douban.com/subject/36415590/ is a very honorable score for this type of drama. Douban raters are very picky and rate usually 2pts below the ratings on MDL which reflect other sensibilities. So, I'd expect the drama to achieve between 8.5 and 9 here on MDL . Those dramas which get 7 or other on Douban have cause to celebrate with posters. Unveil: Jadewind had indeed opened with 7.0 rating from 78,347 ratings. "Pleased with their score, they shared a poster on Weibo to announce it". The poster is in photo section. That it dropped 0.1 point only reflects normal up and down slight fluctuations on Douban.
😁Unfortunately, the size of the drama has already been decided. We'll have to put up with the feeling of looking…
surely 😂 This addictive drama makes for moments of levity ! Last week of airing has started, my end: rumor says express will be on Thursday. Perhaps it will be earlier.
post a link, pls ? If there is one available already 😅
Ok founf it , posted by bubbleliou, thanks to both of you for pointing to it. "so to give some crumbs for those waiting here is one of their live today, ep32" https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRxBWhov/
Changyu refused to learn. It wasn't just her parents. Tutor Tao says Changyu lacked "wisdom". 🤣
The screenwriters made her into an adhd type (perhaps to please the adhd people who want to watch the drama).. Doesn't mean she is stupid. Some people can't sit still to study, and do drive their too conventional teachers nuts (loved that part when the guys came out decomposed and disheveled, and even Li had to get medical help 😁) She'll learn what she needs on the way, I'm sure (loved that mention that when dear live-in hubby explained, it was so clear).
Further down thread, it is said that is one difference from the novel character, in which Changyu is not illiterate.
The palace intrigue plot is so interesting. I hate that they have to speed run it. We really need another 20 episodes…
😁 Unfortunately, the size of the drama has already been decided. We'll have to put up with the feeling of looking at rags & tatters of script along the way till end... Deploring the fact.
They should have made 2 seasons/parts for this show, like 50 episodes or more, so they don't have to rush it towards…
Stupid regulations that impose too narrow limits and end up having the dramas cut up to look like rags, or divided over two years, when they started so well. (A bit worried that will also cause disaster for "MoLi" when that drama finally lands on screens). The time gap imposed between the artificial divides is damaging for the dramas. I am sure it lost quite a bit of audience for "Eternal Brotherhood" already, since many may have simply put the "to be continued'' out of their mind because of the too long time gap legally enforced. "Flourished Peony" also had to suffer the artificial divide. Forcing artificial ratings for "first part" and "second part" when really this is nothing like proper Season 1 and Season 2 ....
I regret the times of the "impossibly long" dramas, when it was really possible to immerse with no thought of "they will cut it off with a cliffhanger, and next we'll need a year or longer to wait!!!!) LLTG was the last to escape that dire fate, although it did get cut: at least, the o episodes till end were released on the heels of the first ones, with no gap. Imagine watching "Ten Miles of Peach Blossom/ Eternal Love", "Nirvana In Fire", "The Legend of The Condor Heroes", "Joy of Life" etc cut up in Seasons. ("Ashes of Love" too, although that one could have, since the events constitute something like three dramas in one for the "tree worlds three lives" there: But I was glad to watch and re-watch it as one whole drama, admiring Luo Yunxi, Yang Zi and Deng Lun). "Joy of Life2 " felt choppy and eventually disappointing to me in last part, despite the feat of having reassembled almost all in original cast; I am sure it was bc of the straight-jacketing to fit undersized constraints hampering both screenwriters, directors and cast. In the hope that this will not also happen to "Zhu Yu" in remaining episodes....
Not sure this video was already mentioned in the comments section further down thread : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEP0E2hw9G4 "Deng Kai Confirms Qi Min Only Loves Yu Qianqian—Kong Xueer Says the Trope Is So Addictive!" English subbed.
So they are still not releasing all the episodes? Why not? Like why not?
They really should, because now, it's everywhere incl with English subs. Those who wish to support through paying express to original platforms would, even if it be in addition to VIP subscription (after all it is not sooo expensive to do, despite natural stinginess when subscribers already feel they splurged enough) . I think many overseas audience who still have time on this Sunday, would like to watch till end now.
Besides which commercially sound decision to damage control, it would also free up a slot to advance other expected dramas that are still announced as "upcoming". We are so used to see some "airdropping" without advance notice that it would not even faze those audiences...
I still do recommend watching on original platforms iQiyi and WeTV for best quality. I don't have Netflix, but those who do would anyway savor the drama at a slower pace. Anyway, people watch what they like, when they have time : watching dramas is very time consuming, and we must remember to live our lives too. Nice weather today my end, despite too much pollen, so mediocre air quality and some humidity. I went for a short stroll before enjoying ep 31 and 32 and next finding out about the extent of the leaks till ep.40.
