FAMILY

A SPIRIT LIFTER
It took me a long long time to watch anything related to Zhao Lusi.She is a natural , intense, shining star.
I think I felt in love with her acting from the beginning, and in less than 5 years she shot to the top, rising like a phoenix.
At the same time, I COULD NOT ignore the negative and envios power that little by litlle started devouring her, forcing her from a light into a shadow.
I loved this Xuxia, and after watching it I found my spirit lifted, because that's the magic og Zhao Lu si.
The entire cast' acting (beside the peacock) is top notch, and I LOVE to finally see a male lead that doesn't look like a doll or the impersonification of chauvinism.
The story is the same one we keep watching over and over, but the beauty of unexpected acting and twist, makes it profitable and appealing.
I love the special effect, but like Los Angeles, it seems the realms of any show is the same set, the same street, the same hut.....the same studio.
I would love to see chinese actresses that do not look like hangers, or korean ones with the without the same face.
But, I only hope she can revover a grain of her light, and above all be HEALTHY.

Judging behind a screen is cowardice.
So, first off Esther yu . I did not like her for her acting, or so I thought. BUT I cannot form judgmental and petty critics just because she’s filthy rich and cute.
So, that was cowardice led by a tricky sense of superiority as a viewer. She has proved more then enough she deserve a compliment for gaining expertise and improving considerably her talent.
Watching this drama is like getting a hiccup during some episodes and being literally pulled in by other with unexpected twist. All cast was really good together, excellent job at casting, directing, and a special shut out to the gem that is Jolin jin. Uau, she’s magnificent. Honestly, the really insufferable thing of asian dramas lately is this trend of starving the actress and actor to a point that you concentrate more on the protruding bones of their bodies instead of the acting, which leaves such a sad , sad aftertaste. If you don’t have an eating disorder, just by watching them you might developed one. Back to the drama: there are spot not explained well, and the ending it’s caotici at best, even though very well performed. So, my final word: let these people eat so that we can enjoy the drama without getting anxious that one of them drop dead due to starvation.
Good job with the martial art parts, but a bit commercial.

THE POWER OF IMAGINATION.
yin story per se is nothing new or unexpected. However, the casting, production, direction and EDITING .. was spectacular.IU is hands down one of the most talented actress of her age, paired with a VETERAN and CHAMELEONIC actor such as Yeo Jin Goo ...you already have a solid base. The screenwriting and editing are in sync and polished. A complicated intersections of people, twist and turns at each corner and yet no problem following the story, enjoy it, and re-watched it periodically. The production did a great job with maintaining a "low profile" and yet deliver a clean, yet artistic concept. The hotel per se feel so real in this paradoxical and dystopian reality that it doesn't make sense and yet it just does. I adored it.
I ADORED THE LIMOUSINE, AND THE STORY OF THE ELDERLY MAN WITH THE DOG.
It was hearth wrenching but so well done.
The final touch is the 3 goddesses. LOVE LOVE THE IDEA. It's the perfect definition of what yin and yang mean to me. Never full light , never total darkness. Just variations of it.

THE INFINITE LIGHTNESS OF BEING.
It was very hard to concentrate on the story because of Lee Je Hoon...I mean this guy is a phenomenon. Is acting EACH TIME is flawless and delivered perfectly.The story as well is a solid 10. Mental Illnesses, if adequately treated, sometimes offer many abilities that others do not have.
The brain allow you to "absorbed" emotions, like the main character superbly portrait.
So the drama starts like a flower bud that in the end blooms.
I adore the cold cynicism of Je Hoon that clashes with the demure yet empowering personality of Hang Ge Ru.
Great show, but a bit more of "light hearted laugh" at times lower the value of re-watching.
When the subject is heavy, inserting suspense or laugh is a must.

ALMOST.....
I think Tak Dong Kyung is like a bottle of excellent wine that gets better with age.SHE CAN ACT. Uau, I'm impressed how she can deliver emotions with equal amount of dramatic and poised.
She reminded me of Glen Close.
Seo In-guk performance is also an ace, balancing the multitude of emotional changes the character go trough.
Now, classic money grabber style, they overstretched the story with side stories that were hard to keep up with.
Thumbs up to the casting director for placing at least 2 secondary actors that were good as the main ones: the hot as hell Lee Soo-hyuk, and the super pretty (even though she's skin and bones)Shin Do-hyun. If she's so fresh weighting 10 kg imagine how good she could be if she was just skinny and not deprived.
The last two episodes were "soapy" and at times confusing. Still wondering what their objective was with the love myriagon of the secondary characters.

A LIGHTHEARTED LOVE STORY
I found myself addicted to this show and I try so hard to comprehend why.I think I got it.
The story line is CLEAR and so easy to follow because of a GREAT script and the great chemistry of ALL FOUR MAIN CHARACTERS WITH EACH OTHER. Bail Lu and Shane Xiao were magnificent in Legends, and I think they NAILED their friendship on screen. I wonder why people never mention such chemistry. Luo Yunxi surprised me immensely with his acting. I had NO IDEA he was so capable and MULTIFACETED.
The story is original, fresh, with an undertone of real life rather than shakespearean tragedy.
Critics might point little details out, like an overall sense of anti-homosexuality, but I think is the price to pay to come out with such gems.
The real value of this show : US AUDIENCES CAN RELATE TO IT.

I hate Netizens.
Yup I do hate them. Amazing how “fans” are able to modify the narrative, content and casting, when there are pretty much DENIED FREEDOM OF SPEECH.Let’s play pretend so we r all happy.
Boring, tasteless, repetitive, and the most annoying skeletons like actors that appear so fragile they look like they have malaria.
Also, this machine like assemble and production of dramas, whether they are made by awfully coded AI or underpaid humans, at super speed,is resulting in an unshakable APHATY that has ZERO rewatch value.
Take the Double. Nothing new, same hysterical women and one fierce heroine saved by the ice face guy. YET , you cannot stop watching. The casting is beyond good, all actors have the same level of talent and chemistry that transform the usual in unusual.
Now, I think this Zangh Linghe kid has potential, solid performances and personal development. Yet in this drama is surrounded by bad director, bad cast choice, and simply no character to go with. Why ? Ask the Netizen. They make it and break it.
