I'm really enjoying the show, and don't understand all the criticism. The acting, chemistry and visuals are all…
It's not an easy watch for a lot of people, especially those who are expecting an idol drama. I guess that is why the criticism. And I think Bai Lu personally received a lot of backlash and cyberbullying from Chinese netizen. Not sure why...
I’m only on episode 2 but this is giving me Love Between Fairy and Devil vibes! Am I wrong?
Only the ML has the same vibe. LBFAD was a feel good and sweet drama. But TTEOTM is dark and angst. As of now, I think the sweet part is only like 10% of the whole drama? It's not an easy watch for a lot of people, especially those who are expecting an idol drama.
If she was given more screen time maybe we can know her story ... But in here we just see her as a bad woman and…
You are right!! For me, YBC is a very boring character and her whole existence is just to be evil, just because a love story need that third leg to be hated by audience, which is very cliche. But I really appreciate the discussions here on MDL (especially from those who read the novel) and this YBC is beginning to intrigue me a little... I cant wait for the next half of this series, she still has the chance to expand her character.
Come on my favourite character is Ye Bing Chang.Please don't hate on her
I don't hate her. But definitely NOT my favourite. She is just not interesting enough to provoke any emotion from me. Villain is a very hard character to write/tell in any story. I LOVE a good villain in a story, like Joker from Batman or Magneto from Xmen (just an example). YBC has a bad past like TTJ but she was also loved by XL. But she just bluntly betrayed him and also pushed her loyal maid to be killed. I don't like it when the writer is forcing us to believe she is pure evil and hate her. But we are just halfway through the series, I am eagerly waiting for more story to unfold.
I think he has Loki, Hannibal and Lucifer vibes esp in the early stage....
I find him to be very similar to Dream/Morpheus from The Sandman. If you havent watch, you can do so, it's available from Netflix. He is powerful(he is also a God) but abused by human. So he is bitter and heartless, but slowly he regain his kingdom. Awesome story by Neil Gaiman.
YBC is very self-serving because she grew up being bullied in Ye's household as a concubine's daughter. Despite…
Yes you are right. I only remember how horrible they (Ye family) were when TTJ doesn't want to step into their house when YXW went back for her birthday meal. TTJ was tamed (lol) because he received love. But YBC is also loved by XL.
CDL acting needs to improve big time, but I applaud the actress for taking so many support roles to hone her acting…
I remember when I was watching Games of Throne, there's so many despicable character. I believe when people are in power, the evil and greed will come out. For YBC's situation now, she is weak and powerless, much like TTJ when he was a hostage prince. He became evil when he has the power (the crow attack, killing ppl who betrayed him etc), but because of LXW, he keep his evilness in check. I can relate to TH's being evil, because she has the power. But for YBC, I still couldn't relate yet.

Sometimes villain roles are hard to play. But when play right, it can be a breakthrough for the actor's career. For ex Lim Ji-Yeon in The Glory. Hate the character, but love the actress. Great acting. But sometimes, it also really depends on the script.

Thing is, they didnt give as much back story to YBC that contribute to her craziness. We didnt get to see Ye family abused or mistreated her. I don't like that the story (novel and drama) are just feeding us blindly that YBC is evil. But then, usually dramaland doesn't build second lead character well. AND, the scene that she pushed her maid to the robber, was very unnecessary, just to show us how psycho and evil she is.
