Rewatching Who Rules the World for the third time, I really like Leon Lai and do want to see him in more roles. He has a presence and class to him and is great as a very intelligence character.
I heard this was a pretty dark and generally gloomy vibe, so I started the first few episodes and left off. Now that I've just finished Dear Hongrang, with Lee Jae Wook, coming back to Pearl Girl seems much less gritty than before. I do know the ending so I'm proceeding with caution. I have learned the art of skipping over scenes I don't enjoy.
Okay, how is the best option for international viewers? Looks like Youku itself requires you to pay through Alipay, which I don't have. So get a youtube membership to the Youku youtube channel?
What?! This already aired! And here I thought it was still to come. With my nose to the C-drama airing I thought for sure I wouldn't miss this. Now I have to figure out where I can watch it!
Disney+ announced they bought the drama, but I don't know when they will release the episodes. Youku youtube avalaible…
Okay, thanks. I've never used Youku because the last time I looked there wasn't an easy way to become a member without using a QR code and device, but maybe it has changed since then. I prefer to use my desktop and not download an app to my device.
I'm up to episode 25 and really enjoying this drama, though there are large swathes I'm forwarding through when the pace slows (especially the romance). I really like Angelbaby's intelligent and shrewd female lead, and Wallace Chung is fine as Chue Beiji, but Sun Yi Zhou is stealing the show as He Xia. He is smart and ruthless, good a hiding his true intentions and still inescapably connected to Bai Pingting. His scenes are my favorite and I hope to watch other shows with him. I also really enjoy the balancing act between the four nations, all on the brink of war and yet doing underhanded alliances with each other throughout the story. The "allies to enemies" and "enemies to allies" dance is very well done.
I really enjoyed Everlasting Longing. There were a few parts and the side-couple that I just skipped if I wasn't enjoying it, but by and large I really enjoyed her character's intelligence, and it's also my favorite Song Wei Long role. Very nice quality to the picture as well, and I tend to enjoy the "western clan's" culture in stories as well, even if they may not be super realistic.
That is great news! I never expected a second season, however at the end of the first series I remember wanting to see more of these characters and spend more time with them. To me, that is enough for a second season, it doesn't need to top the previous story but simply allow us to see where the characters go.
A drama with both Bae Doona AND Lomon? I'm in! Oh wait-- it says the rating is NC-17. That seems WAY too violent for me. But on MDL it's TV-14. Can anyone tell me what is the real NC-17 part, and can I skip that part?
For reference, I made it through Moving, and the Witch movies and tv show The Tyrant, all of which are WAY too violent but I was able to skip and not take the violence too seriously.
