that was legendary!!! soooo many epic scenes 😭🥹 i can't believe how good that was!! even the fear and the anticipation right before! oufff this episode was amazing!
ep 25 fees like a big milestone for Chang yu in her journey to leadership ! how the squad was improvising brillantly! she is such a well nuanced character on screen! not perfect with a massive dead angle, but sheer emotion, courage and leadership! she's probably my fav FL character by now 🫶
QQ also seems conflicted. She was hoping the food was sent by Qimin and when she found out it wasn’t him, she…
i thought it was the opposite for the food ! that she would not have eaten if it was from him... i think it's natural to be infatuated if she didn't know how evil his ways are. but in the early scenes where she shivered at his touch , it was really out of disdain. not even surprise... i think its also easy for someone to try and justify with his past trauma or even say ' if only he wasn't as cruel' , but his actions are nowhere justifiable.
Your comment reminded me of this tt.https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGduaThQ3/The director is amazing at visual storytelling.
i didn't know the term 'life lens' but i def see it ! i was in the middle episodes of blossom when pursuit of jade started its such a coincidence! and the video u showed reminded how i also loooved the visuals of the double!! they made the actor shine so much compared to his most recent 'jadewind' that i gave up on ...
it's clear the story is more about Chang yu becoming the general than xie zheng, but yeah i hope to see his marquis…
makes total sense! i guessed when i realized she's in the title itself! it's more subtle than 'legend of female general' lol but i find this the best told journey to general yet! especially for a woman! they didn't skip the important moments that made her! ( maybe we are missing a little from her dad's training her)
i am very mitigated with the second couple story, the way it's evolving you almost think they will try a redemption arc but he's so evil! however, what i really love about their story is the water symbolism. it keeps repeating from their past, bathtub, and now again. especially when you juxtapose it with his fire trauma. qian qian associated with water is a great analogy. but what's even more interesting is how i see water as a sign of power for qian qian.
you would think more action now would remove the creative aspect of the cinematography but wow, the reflection of the weapon in the horse's eye!!! 🔥🔥 even the few seconds scene where we see the 'fire lights' of the army across the mountain, gives such brillant contexts and realism!! also the water effects , they didn't shy down on showing it visually, which i was surprised!! it was so well executed! this production is so golden
I hate love triangles and find this one very unnecessary. So I’m a bit disappointed that they went this route.
i think in the very early episodes where the 'mariage' was seen as very temporary i don't remember who allured to li being a match after or something like that... very indirectly of course. if anything, i think the presence of li would be a push for ML to keep his relationship with chang yu...
The bathtub scene with Qi Min and Qianqian was filmed to perfection. It’d have been totally swoon-worthy if…
i think its a very layered scene. because over the soft visuals we had a violent dialogue. i also understand why their past encounter was revealed during this scene, the bathtub vs the pool. water is a symbol for qianqian. in the waters she's using her power. then u have the contrast between the fire (cause of trauma) , water and qianqian . She'll probably figure out a way to break him and take revenge.
Love the drama so far, but one minimum detail, How Chang Yu has not realize she got back her hair ribbon that…
my guess so far is that the scene where she notices and wonders had been cut from the edit... because its hard to believe it wasn't an important symbol
i think he did so much that he was trying to make his project work... what's weirder that the' not sent message'…
i think it was both okay and intentional. intentional because he did not look for a reply or call back... to keep a distance because he was 'trying' to not like her 😂
Very well said! People were complaining about how nothing is happening but they didn't realize the importance…
absoluuutely!! some cdrama take for granted the time we need as viewers to connect with the setting and the characters! i love that this show took its time to build up. the pace and flow of the story is soooo important! they nailed it in this show!
