Great but damage is done.I don't think the ppl who complaint about AI thing will not watch the drama whether they…
for me it sounds more like an industry lesson. where does the limit fall with ai? most cdramas use ai generated clips in their openings too, just not ai generated characters.
You could say it's the POJ effect. His acting in that drama was top-notch, so the difference really stands out…
you're right his performance in POJ was really nuanced, he shines in costume dramas...but i think his best performance yet was kunning palace and in this one we kinda get a similar repressed tension. what the direction and ZLH did okay so far in this drama is the huge contrast of before, super naive vs after, now cynical. how his vulnerability shows up is also well done. but so far, i dont see the main leads having enough room for more nuance in their play.
I actually think its good that people are calling out the terrible AI generated intro (which sets a poor tone…
POJ had an ai generated opening credit too... most cdramas have full on or partially ai generated opening credits now. but the difference here is that audience drew the line because they put ai generated characters instead of the real actors in that credit and thats an easy big NO.
i loved reading this! so accurate! but i don't know the injured dr reference😅
oh ....shine on me! is on my watch list for some day 😅 but yes totally see that and even same actors will sometimes pick up similar elements that sound familiar with their own work too. thanks for specifying!
i don't mind all that except for the actual revenge plot of FL: having to resort to marrying the brother and having…
i missed that era of cdrama, but having susu name only between them is actually a great part on the drama!
FL came with her plan and prepared to meet ML. we really need to know her side hopefully nxt episode because so far we understand she had put him in the same basket as his family, that's why it was easier for her to fake her death
Ok, I have binged all 7 episodes. I have to say, some of the editing was a bit rough as is the story. The whole…
i don't mind all that except for the actual revenge plot of FL: having to resort to marrying the brother and having the planes for her plan to work is really a stretch ... maybe that's how it is in that era? 😅 the way the main leads handle each other is actually not bad!!
I’m sorry but are we just acting like Li Mao didn’t just stab WuYi and twist the knife into WuYi to torture…
right!!!! that is definitely a loophole like how can u be just walking like nothing happened!! and yao just telling him u have to look strong for ye... the plottwist is surely coming...
glad i didn't listen to comments that said it was dragging after ep16 or that miao was annoying. 🤣
my hot take is that Miao has matured more than chen for their relationship, and this drama is the most impressive so far in showing a couple get out of codependency and trauma bonding. they are healing slowly in all the raw and mess they are stuck with. yes dysfunctionnal but the way they navigate it, with every new episode is so human. its becoming one of my favourite shows ever!
first time i watch republican-era dramas, the reason is my last sentence.
ai-slop opening, the scenes sometimes feel off in the way the actors look frozen or extra melodramatic and the scenes have the pace of a short drama... all of these have nothing to do with this 'era' drama, except maybe the melodrama? i kinda enjoy the extravaganza melodrama so far😅 the attention to the details and dialogue are really nice. ZLH roles of hate/love are really iconic like kunning palace, i think this role will also be incredible tension! especially with WCR as co-lead. i know these 2 main leads will carry this show regardless!!
i just started( i was waiting to finish the other cdrama of the ML eternal fragrance...why were they same time😭)
been catching up the episodes and i just love this cdrama so much! the story is absolute classic plot but the actors, scriptwriting and direction made it so well so far (ep17). 1-they took the time to establish their childhood memories, the character developpement, even the 'maturing', esp for miao in all her chaotic environnement, were brillantly shown in little details. 2-the ost is absolutely beautiful and on theme, 3-the humour elements are just spot on without undermining the heaviness of the topics. 4- the nuance of characters is so well done by direction and main actors to depict heavy drama
It's the kind of shows that you get to enjoy the silences, the details moments (broken glass), even the closeups on the main leads are done with brillant intention.
I am rooting for Ai mi since her role in the double! she really shines here!! but omg so young still for such a good performance. even if the first episode of this cdrama was a bit all over the place, the seemingly simple plot is thickening very nicely!! some shows really nail the progression of a drama like this one, where the pace keeps up without redundancy.
With episode 20, Xiuyuan has confessed his love thrice. She ain't dumb or oblivious given her clear boundaries…
after the big heart to heart moment i think we understand better lifei's stance and how now she is way more careful. i also think the screenwriters like to show the natural complicity and non verbal understanding between the main leads while still keeping the angst for obvious reasons.
but the difference here is that audience drew the line because they put ai generated characters instead of the real actors in that credit and thats an easy big NO.
i hope the dialogues just go crazier. 😂 the less predictable the better
