Oh, I see. I had to read it twice before I understood. I knew about the flood, but did not make the connection. Thank you.

Oh. Thank you.

Thank you

Could anyone tell me - would it not cost producers too much money to hire someone like DXY to play a support role rather than a guest role like Hou Ming Hao? Or was this drama made long before it aired?

Yes, it was.

The whole point is, that she does not remember her past life. When you read accounts of the death's of people (in a newspaper) how do you react? I know that that is not exactly the same - this is her family, after all - but her detachment is quite usual. We will have to see how she reacts when she recovers her memories and, more to the point, her related emotions.

Have you ever watched Rooftop Prince? (Kdrama). In the historical flasbacks they show how the younger sister burnt her elder sister's face with an 'iron' so that she (the younger) could take her place and marry the prince. Rather than the usual bedpan/saucepan shaped 'iron' the Koreans used a long-handled flat, triangular piece of metal.

What flood is that? (I have only watched up to ep 33.) Also, I am not sure what you are saying about the ML. Spineless how? Thanks.

Thank you for this.

I was watching 'drink wine and fight' themes (Drunken Master, etc.) in the original Shaw Brothers movies (HK) back in the 70's.

Agreed.

I agree with you - for the most part. Given Mo Xiao's nature, I expected the forgiveness to be given quickly and freely. Also, had he not already spewed his resentment (of the sect members in general?) whilst in the Nuwa village? But, as you say, XLY should have felt (or, more accurately, should I say 'displayed'?) more remorse than he did for longer than he did.

The ML in DMR has (or had) a 'no kissing' clause in his contract because he is married. I was suprised to see the one kiss that I did see.

1. Bad writing: sect members - and their leaders - are never given reasoning skills in these dramas. 2. 'Love' - in all its versions - (especially in said dramas) never makes sense.

The first time I saw him was in Colourful Bone. I also managed to watch the whole of 'Lady in Butcher's house' (which I didn't really like) - without even realising that HE was the (same) M/L. (I discovered it about a year later.) Do you not recommend any of his dramas, then?

Yes, you are right. A knee-jerk reaction, then sorrow for the loss of his friend - immediately after he had 'killed' him. (I wonder if this was the intention of the author/director - or did s/he write this part without thinking? Do we ever see him realise his mistake, in coming episodes, do you know?

I do find 'forcing young girls into having sex' sick - and expressed as much to you in my post - nasty; kick in the balls (ad infinitum). As for the 'incompetancy', this was not actually shown. Had I known that you were just relaying script lines, I would have constructed my response accordingly.

Given your response, I will accept that that was not what you meant - but it is what you wrote. "...the sight of that fatty male me feel sick, how can someone be so gross and incompetent" Here, you are conflating one with the other. Had one of my students written this, I would have said the same thing.

Huhu? This word has so many meanings. Are you using the Malay word for laughing/crying?

I think that they did this better with 'The Rise Of Ning'.

Is this 'fat shaming'? One's size has nothing to do with one's competance. Are you saying that it would be okay (to a certain degree) if he were good looking/had a nice body and was incompetant? Also, the actor is playing a very nasty character (who needsa a kick in the balls|) , but are you allowing your disgust for the actor himself to show?

I must admit, I have only watched up to episode 9 (where the question of his competancy has not yet arisen) so I assume you are referring to a later episode?
