That entire ending was very anticlimactic. Because the guys that did the really bad stuff didn’t get almost…
My words and sentiments, exactly. I am choosing to view this kind of ending as "of course they are lucky that bad guys with power money and connection were actually discredited, if not punished, and our favorite characters survived in a rather down to earth realistic way". Because for all intents and purposes the investigation and trial could have yielded no or limited evidence (we don't know what documents Wan's father had kept and what she was able to deliver to the investigators) and even emperor's court could have delivered merely a slap on a hand rather than serious punishment and cleaning of the prefectural government. But I am not satisfied with the lack of info on the Qi family fate because I wonder if ML's merit was used for offsetting their execution and placement in some slavery/government brothel. The current limit of episodes is 40 for c dramas so I would have liked 2-3 more that would address the loose ends. PLUS, I really wanted Qin Yi to get more than just barbecue party.
yep, 3 min each, so maybe 2 and a 1/2 hours of action
ikr? Kuaishou thrives on short releases, and they do it well. Too bad I can't access it. Hoping someone will post the link here once it's available with eng sub
I watched both Memory and 11 Left and am aching for more! Incredibly talented and already accomplished filmmaker/director. I wish he could do the completion of 11 Left even if it was done on purpose, I so want to know the other avatars and the game ending. I read this about 2017 but am not 100% sure it's the same person, although it really hints at the genius. >>>Lin, a dissident visual, performance and conceptual artist whose piece, Shìwēi (‘Rally’), led to his arrest and two-year detention by the Chinese government in 2012. After his release, Lin moved to San Francisco and launched a traveling exhibition of his work to Vancouver BC, Tacoma, Portland, Las Vegas and Minneapolis. Artist Lin Bo’s work, Qín (Caught), presents a sly philosophical puzzle that investigates the murky intersections of fact and fiction in the crafting of art and news<<< (https://artistsrep.org/performance/caught/) If anybody knows where to find his other works (even without eng subs), please share!
I understand Qin is obsessed with FL and he “raised” more like groomed the little girls. Implying that he…
Unlike other shows that depict the action (with adult actors, I must say) this show is REALLY excelling at pointing the viewer to what is happening without actually showing it. This show is like the book: it's all in your mind, so yes, it is triggering. I am hoping for redemption of the viewers not just by the characters getting their fair share of punishment/justice, but a larger point by the director and the creators.
Well, I watched through 32 and I can’t wait for QY to get his comeuppance! He and those two old farts definitely…
it's nerve wracking both while watching (I have to guard not to bite my nails!) and now waiting for the last 4 eps. How are they going to wrap it up???
on a positive note though, I didn't care abt The double (sorry don't k!ll me please) but here there is no yu zehng…
I totally agree with you on the director and The Double AND Beauty of Resilience (😂) Just saw the trailer here and OMG, I can't wait! BTW, love your profile name!
Lately there have been too many Cdramas with really heavy topics about revenge. I look forward to this food themed…
I am looking for a costume drama that does not focus on "reincarnation" 3 months-3years before the character's death, honor revenge stories with no common sense for the value of life, setting up business or gaining power (by women mostly), mistaken identity and endless misunderstandings of immature lovers, switching bodies/souls, criminal investigation, catfights in harem, wait, I ran out of all the old tropes! Actually, I am ok with any of the above as long as they are framed with good script and well-developed characters who can converse rather than endlessly gaze into each other. And yes, lighthearted and fun will do!
Ep 31 - everyone’s thinking the Fl is dumb for choosing to submit to QY but she is a person with low status…
I think that the drunk Han's despair and the comments from the commander she heard had that do-or-die impact on her. I really think that her feelings for the magistrate had more to do with her decision than her love of the people. She cares for what the man she loves cares about. Governor's son has kissed her and she slapped him, but even if she thought about it later, she treats him as a buddy with whom she investigated and the person who stepped in in that humiliating pipa concert, but I am not sure she really loves him. More like stands by him but knows her own circumstance and his family stance, and absolutely guards against falling in love.
But the synopsis is great. Anothe to add is it’s about politics. Haha
well, I wrote it the way I did to gain more viewership of general public. If there was anything about the politics- you know what people are looking for
