Ahhhh. Florida makes sense. I am actually going this weekend LOL maybe I will see a restaurant like that than. The state I live in - doubt I will ever come across it.
Ok one thing that triggers me is when they don't translate the we chat messages like bitch I cant read that!!…
OMG YESSSS!! I am just like excuse me . . . I am waiting for the translation please! I have to than take out my phone and use google translator instead -_-.
The trailer looks so good! Glad we finally got it. The leads look so good together. I love the scene where Xiao Zhan's character is drunk and falls while trying to show how fast he can run lol and BB's character just smiles while catching him. So cute!
You are right - China has a law that dramas must have a max of 40 episodes BUT Tencent sort of used a loophole.…
Lol, np. I also thought it was strange because I remember the licensing for TLP was at 43 episodes but Tencent only released 40 (episode restriction of course). Later we realized that Tencent just snuck in the 3 episodes by making 3 episodes SUPER long lol. It is an interesting loophole and I wonder if more people will use it for future dramas.
Can someone please clarify something for me? I haven't started watching this yet. In the description here is says…
You are right - China has a law that dramas must have a max of 40 episodes BUT Tencent sort of used a loophole. Most of the episodes for TLP are on average about 45 minutes long however they made 3 episodes have a length of 80-90 minutes long which is where the other 3 episodes come from.
Netflix doesn't have that limit so they aired it the way it was supposed to without the episode restriction. While Tencent just combined 2 episodes into 1 for 3 episodes in order to bypass the 40 episode restriction.
Sometimes I wonder .. . .what if Da Siming allowed Shi Ying to meet other females and allowed him to live with everyone else besides for just Chong Ming. If Shi Ying never lived in fear maybe he wouldn't have fallen in love with Zhu Yan because he wouldn't be captivated by her freedom. But I guess that is just a mute point but it is interesting to think of lol. The fact that sometimes knowing the prophecy is the reason for the person's calamity.
Same thing with Voldemort (LOL) - if he never knew about the prophecy he would have never gone out and seeked Harry Potter. If he continued doing his thing he would have been fine.
Ah but that's the crux of it isn't it? How much is fate and how much is our own choices. Much like Xiao Zhan himself…
That is very true - it kind of reminds me of the question people ask "if you could go back in time when Ted Bundy was a baby would you kill him?". And its an interesting question because at that point he hasn't done anything but u know what he will do.
For Shi Ying its the same - yes its a prophecy that Zhu Yan will kill him but at that time she has done nothing to him but shown him how to be happy and smile so can he bring himself to kill her just to save himself. It's an interesting philosophical question lol. But I do agree if Shi Ying did kill Zhu Yan - he wouldn't be the character that I love.
Honestly, I feel that is the point for me. Her actions that keep getting in Shi Ying's way is my issue - I understand it is to move the story along but of course for viewers we are going to be stuck on the action and how much it bothers us. But lets see maybe she will redeem herself (but we know she does Kill him so idk if I can see that happening anytime soon).
His face when he found out she was the girl ROFL.
