I wish FL would just quit her side gig, especially I understand how she wants to help the chick with cancer but…
I second all that. Episode 9 was a lil ackward to me regarding the cancer patient. I think that putting her boyfriend in a situation as to jeopardize their relationship is not honest about the meaning of love. And asking someone else to test him is a total like of trust in herself. Anyway, I don't believe in perfect relationship from all genders unless, as a couple, living on a desert island 😎 without distractions. Or distractions like having exotic fruits to throw at each other's face. My parents were too busy to cheat on each other. Later we knew when they had an argument as my father was low key because he would not have s*x. My mother went on strike. Coming back to this episode. How can this cancer patient heal herself with so much stress about so little. If the guy wants to leave, her illness isn't the reason but an excuse. I dare quoting Shakespeare *Much ado about nothing".
How Long Chuan Fei Yuan was forced to be killed by harakiri was cleverly plotted. Unfortunately, his young son's death shows the cruelty of the japanese. It is more of a sit down and listen to the story. The architectures, the props, wardrobe, cars were absolutely divine for the eyes. I really enjoyed it. Hope more viewers would discover it.
I find it a bit sad reading the comments here and seeing that almost everyone is watching this drama only because…
Her appearance is starting at the 5th episode. So many viewers - including me - haven't had the chance to discuss her role. Yes, she is not only a star also a real natural beauty. I like her in the 2007 Ming Dynasty, my favourite is Arrows on the bowstring, Legend of My Yue I watched 3 times, Ode to joy I watched only the first two seasons, With You a motivating nurse, The Infiltrator in a tricky role, The Long Way Back a silent fighter.
It is natural that she is wellknown in China. This situation is changing in regards to Chinese movies and dramas. The web is a key element to widen the productions. The productions are excelling in their qualities and is motivating by the westerners' needs of Chinese arts within all their forms. It is costly to get Chinese movies on westerners' big screen. The newest one is Blades Of The Guardians. It is acclaimed and will open doors to the Western countries. Cannes Film Festival is a platform where so many chinese actors/actresses were awarded.
Cdramaland has its fans base that is difficult to please. They tear themselves apart about pretty boys. And this will not change.
About this story, I find the script well written although it isn't my cup of tea. I have so many other Cdramas on my list, but I find this one refreshing.
Xiao Bei too much on point when describing Xiao Xi's set up. Is Xiao Bei setting Xiao Xi up in return ? @ 7:43 episode 4 "I love you" and his only answer "I know" is a sign of storm approaching. Hope I'm wrong.
OMG ! 2nd episode @ 23:13 the title of the movie Sound Of Silence on her T-shirt. I'm so proud it is also recognized here in this drama. What a grand movie it is.
I click on this by mistake, really by mistake, no joke and holly shit what a blast I have at this 1st episode. I was not expected that. I'm not into this type of stories but the script is too hilarious. I needed that. My wordings obliges me to put my comment as a spoiler.
So for those who watched this parallelogram of things; how goes it? I’ll watch after my doctors appointment…
First episode and I'm in. I have a blast ! My laughters startle my cat. I'm not into this type of comtenporary stories but the script is so hilarious, so well acted. It's this type of inside humour that gives me the hope that there are still good writers out there. Hope all goes OK at your doc.
Half into watching with my 8 rating for the acting and take a break to write my messy thoughts. A so realistic…
Take 2 of my comment
Just right now finished watching it. I resume with a higher rating exceptionally 10.
Black and white scenes were throwing me into the past of French, Italian, Japanese and Swedish style of filming the present being their past experiences.
I was frightened a moment of possible adultery.
Infront of my eyes they both matured and became responsible adults. However, their love hasn't faltered. It has grown stronger and eating their soul as they age. It reminds me of the 1995 movie The Bridges Of Madison County.
Half into watching with my 8 rating for the acting and take a break to write my messy thoughts. A so realistic story which reality brings more turmoil than happiness. Love plays trick on them and shift them on a weighing scale of utopia and reality. This type of love is their toxique substance which passion sucks in their unatainable dream. What I fear for their love is regret that could drive to madness.
I shall resume this movie once my emotions subside. The movies Better Days, Brokeback Mountains throw me in the same pit of sadness.
Satisfying wrap up. No angst, no anxious cliffangers, just a pleasant story to watch in between the more complicated ones.
Both leads were consistent through and through in their acting. Pei Yi worked hard during the martial arts scenes. Both their performance riding horses was flawless.
Pei Yi stays strong till the last episode. No babyish voice, no sulky girly, no crying puppy moments. Not a moment of weakness rarely seeing in Cdramaland from a strong female lead. She didn't blink an eye during the execution of the chancellor. She performed her duty like a real soldier with a steady emotion although it was obviously tensed. The cherry on the sundae...she didn't cry bitterly then.
Huai Jin down to earth as an astronomer should be, was a dedicated boyfriend and will be as a husband.
Smart Cai Zhao, she has already deciphered Mu Qing Yan's act. He plays the sickly and weak victim to lure his opponents out. I give him a thumb up for that. As for Cai Zhao she knows how to read the room first before interfering smoothly. She is not the type to be bullied. Nice first episode drawing the personality of both leads. To early for a rating. I am not hypocritical for waiting a couple episodes more because the lukewarm acting of too many actors is not appealing.
I tried but dropped it at the humiiation of a young lady's scene by a group of young male adults. Sorry, couldn't the script have another option by starting the 1st episode on that note ?
Thank you but NO thank you. I am down to earth person but not on the mood for such violence.
I understand that the story is entirely different but I am going to heal my soul with a couple of episodes of Amidst A Snowstorm Of Love.
Just finished watching Mumu and it makes a big wave right here in my heart.
Futur viewers please bare with me for a moment.
I rated it 10/10 for the steps taken by the main actors to learn sign language. Cannot find if child actress Li Luo An learned it as child actors' private life stays secret. Never mind she was the center of this love story. She is her father's hero. Also my rating for the impaired cast and the notion of their activities, works and dreams listed in the credits. This was very respectful of the producer(s).
Reading comments on the selfishness of Mumu parents is a little far fetched in my opinion as if it wasn't the basic writing in Cdramaland be it from other countries, cultures, sects. I am going to be direct in my wordings, parents like all animals produce children first because of their uncontrolable lust (for animals it is the rutting season), then for a selfish lineage, their future pride, their old age and the last but not the least as an insurance (in case of divorce). Unfortunately with such selfishness, Karma is a bitch should Karma exist. And also unfortunately, life is a bet. The dices flipped and bang one finds himherself with an hearing impaired or visual impaired child, or both. Life is cruel for poor, low income families, the worst is above their level with corrupt bureaucracy. I am aware of this as I was involved in this community.. I think that judging Mumu's parents through judgemental lenses solely on so called selfish behavior is a lack of reality and a lack of total compassion. I won't be supprised of comments my wordings might fuel.
So should you be interested in watching this movie, please before giving your verdict listen first to adult Mumu's plea at the end of this story. Happy film viewing to you.
