I paused this one because I wasn't really in the mood for a modern show atm....the rating was like high sevens at the time I paused. I came back to check on things and it's at a 6.6? What in the derailment happened here?
I've paused midway through episode 17 because people be way too freaking happy and fluffy in a story of revenge before the midway point of a 40 episode drama....I've watched too many of these shows to not know that shit's about to go down & imma need like a five episode buffer to rip some painful bandaids off.
Does the Youku website not work for anyone else? I'm trying to watch a trailer, but it never actually loads. I've tried using my VPN to put me in Hong Kong to see it that would work. Even turned it off completely but still nothing. anyone have a link that isn't the Youku site for ep 16 & 17 trailers? EDIT: literally just youtubed them and was able to watch the trailers....holy crap...not me giggling and kicking my feet.
Maybe it's intentional. I feel like both her and Liu Da Ge look very stiff and expressionless. They're also the…
Yeah. That's what I'm thinking too with it being intentional, because she's too good of an actress in the other things I've seen her in to be this "flat" on accident. I'm hoping that the more we see of Ziqi's past the more rounded Mu Yao's character will be as well. I don't mind the "monster of the week" style episodes we've been having, but I just want to know more about them as people. Not just the two leads but the second leads as well. Because overall the main cast is very small so I want to spend time with them and see rather than be told things. I don't like the early concept of the info dump from the FL about the characters. I'm hoping that at the true halfway point they will feel more like people than like fictional characters in a "poorly written"(FL's feelings on the story) fictional world. For reference I'm also watching Pearl Girl at the same time so larger main cast with deeper connections to one another and true life or death stakes. So the back and forth is a bit jarring for my mind. Both great shows....just very different types of shows. One is an apple the other an orange, can't and shouldn't really compare them to be fair.
Is anyone else struggling with the lack of expression from Zhu Xu Dan in this? it's giving NPC on pause. I've seen her in other things where she's great so I can only assume it was either a character/directors choice. I'm just barely connecting with any of the characters yet & we're almost at the halfway point. I'm enjoying the show, don't get me wrong, it's just the writing is still very surface level at the moment & for a show that is only 32 episodes I would have thought we would be more "into the thick of it" by now.
Just finished episode 10. I'm going to need 2ML to stop being so righteous & thinking HIS way is the RIGHT way. He's so morally white that he is actually more dangerous to our FL than if he were morally black and not just grey like ML.
This is the main difference between the two MLs. One understands hardship and what fighting for your life means; the other only knows a life of luxury/peace and the law. He sees people as beautiful swans gliding on top of the water. He's not looking beneath the surface to see how much the swan has to paddle to stay afloat.
The ML is more of an antihero. He's able to move in and out of the shadows. Yes, he uses people like pawns, but he doesn't hide behind a false mask of morality to do it. His way may be brutal, but at least it's "honest" in it's brutality.
Possible Spoilers for deaths in Love like the Galaxy, The Double, The Princess Royal, The Story of Kunning Palace and this one duh....if you respond please use spoiler tag. Let the people who don't want spoilers live in peace.
Can someone anyone think of any period drama where the ML's sidekicks don't kick the bucket? If there is only one he will 100% be dead by the end. If their are 2 100% chance one will die...50/50 if both will die by the end. I'm trying to think if both survived Love Like the Galaxy....both die in The Double....The Princess Royal....honestly can't remember I think one survived after the injuries 100% should have taken him out. Can't remember if they made it to the end of The Story of Kunning Palace. Everything is blending together, but the second QingYan said the prince was his family...I was like bye bitch see ya never.
Watching episode 28. I keep saying "Baby no. What are you doing...stop it...get some help." It's giving 'Lars…
Oh for fucks sake....(about 20 minutes into the episode still..) Dear lord in heaven. Girlies need to just fucking tell them the plan, because man has got straight off the deep end and is about to pull a Romeo. Wake her ass up already.
Did I miss an episode of something? But where’s the kiss where they both wore white and she was the one that…
maybe they'll release a bonus episode. Cause that kiss wasn't show in the final edit of the show. I would assume it would take place after marriage so fingers crossed a little 5 minute bonus for viewers later on.
