New episode today :) I really, really can't wait! For once I was super excited about an upcoming drama and it turned out to be even better than I hoped for :)
Normally I wouldn't approve of ratings so early on, however, I'm glad that so many people voted in order to balance out the initial negative rating. It is a little unfair to the show when 1 day after its first episode airing, 200 people have voted an average of 6.6 . In any case, the show is entertaining and light, and so far it is catchy. Fighting! :)
I normally prefer books over movies (or dramas :p ), but in this case I much more prefer Teng Feng as he is portrayed…
There is a fan translation on Hui3r's blog in wordpress :) There are a lot of books translated by fans over there, they've got an amazing collection :)
I really like the pacing :) The mysteries are getting more complicated as more things are revealed, unlike most suspense dramas where the audience has caught up with the main mystery and is just impatiently waiting for the characters to discover it for themselves. I really hope it keeps getting better! Fighting! :)
I normally prefer books over movies (or dramas :p ), but in this case I much more prefer Teng Feng as he is portrayed in the drama :) in the book he is very cold and reserved, whether here he is so much nicer and we get to see his motivation. All in all, great portrayal!
There is one thing, which bothers me a bit and kind of ruins the whole drama for me. I find it extremely hard to believe that a guy, no matter how infatuated he is with a woman, still bears a grudge after 20 years because she left with another. How is it possible that he has not moved on for such a long time, considering it was one-sided?I really have trouble accepting the whole pretext for the main leads behaviour in the first couple of episodes (the only ones I've watched). I'd really like to give this drama a try, but this kind of ruins it for me - it's unbelievable to say the least (and by that I mean more so than normal kdrama logic). So, what do you guys think? I'd love for someone to prove me wrong and explain something I might have missed because then I might actually enjoy this drama :p
