Ah, not that it makes sense, but it does fit. Thanks.

the calendar here continuously updates the episode number (22 as of Sunday) so it must be airing SOMEWHERE

I figured but was wondering... East as in Middle East? East in relationship to China? a bit confused

sure

and I am checking out the LIEOD. BTW, was it supposed to be AGE instead of Edge? I am starting a support group for fans who are distressed by the titles as translated from Mandarin (we will create our own titles as a part of the healing process 😂😂😂

hey, anybody knows what the "East Country" in the synopsis refers to? Just not sure as I don't know Mandarin

ikr???😁

Amen, sister! or namaste. Or women unite (cross out what you want)

Yes. Torturing for display. And the lack of mobility was not the resulting problem (even if it was problematic) but the attempted display of wealth - not being able to walk meant being carried around and that required manpower and resources (we are so rich my wife does not have to walk). It had nothing to do with small, cute feet (you can imagine the smell of decaying toes before they fell off due to cut circulation). But then again wife was for political and connection purpose, the concubines to bear children.

I liked it at first but now (ep 19) it's rather soap opera thingy (the bgm is soooo tacky) and lost its fun edge. TBH it went from 8.5 to 7.5 and still going down

I thought that Tang was before Song and actually Tang had different women's rights highlighted than Song which (toward the end of it) came strong with said Confucian patriarchal nonsense incl. binding feet. Not to be a pest for historical detail but Tang had more inheritance of husband's property and freedom to remarry by widows than Song and Song had more inheritance by sole daughters from their fathers' wealth plus freedom to work or run business outside of home. They were both patriarchal and women were 2nd class citizens in both

For me this is an actual documentary of what shamans do and what is out there that we do not perceive in day-to-day life. We as material life do not exist from the string theory and quantum physics, so even though it tags as horror that might be at some point our bread and butter.
Would love to see a series showing the working cases for the two shamans.

SHen Li and Hunter 2022 are probably the evil twins 🤣

I hear ya. I ignore fools, they are humans, and we are one. I don't need to interact with them to have a good day and their opinions do not shake my world. Agree to disagree. Let go move on. Giving Shen Li attention is giving energy that is going to perpetuate the issue.

I am always perplexed by how the ancient judicial system worked. I am terribly spoilt by the current/modern protocols and shake my head at futility of some of these c dramas portrayal of what it was like to fight the legal battle in the past. Starting with almost inability to bring things to the court: drumming at the entrance more often than not got you in a hot water and even if you were allowed to file a complaint in your search for justice, if you were a woman - you had to take 20-30 lashes if the case was not accepted and you had to be backed by a man. Then the cruelty of interrogation (basically you are beaten within an inch of your life and sometimes forced to put your fingerprint on whatever they wrote on "confession") and ridiculous trial in the court where your social position counted more than anything else coming from someone on the lower wrung of the ladder. And even witnesses could be dismissed by the virtue of being of lower class and the evidence was something regularly dismissed if it did not fit the magistrate's theory of the culprit.
So this series (which I watched with many pauses because of lackluster content) was rather dull and blah except for the friendship among the 4 of them.

this is a place to respectfully share opinions and impressions from watching a series. We are all entitled to different likes and dislikes. I hope that someone saying "I don't like this" is not a reason to attack that person but perhaps find out what is it they don't like.
Shen Li stated, "no acting skills" and then questioned the value of the role played by WXY, so I guess Shen Li is not satisfied with the script. Both valid points. No need to go after someone with bot accusations or "you rate only 1 or 10". Peace and calm to all of us.

just sharing with people who are not impressed with this production: after the increasing disappointment and putting this on hold at ap 17, I resorted to just watching trailers of the upcoming episodes. You know what? It works! I spend only 30 seconds per episode, get the gist of what is going to be the pivotal point and the best scenes and I bet I will be able to tell what happens in the story overall just from that!

the only double this might bring is disappointment.

I watched dramas with Song Wooden Long and was in disbelief why is he so popular? I guess the looks do this, because he has zero acting skills and have never heard of facial expression variance (not to mention micro expression). FL is the same. Hey! they should be playing in the equally dismal Perfect Match!
And I apologize to anyone offended by my post. No, I will not take it down. It's my opinion and I am sticking to it.

don't start that comparison! 😁
