Is Chen Kun character gonna be a villain? Feels like it after ep6 reveal
I am not at ep 6 yet but I suspected Chen Kun’s role is a villain role from the start. He is just a deputy commander of some godforsaken post far from the capital but he has a fondness of Jiangnan silk PJs and underclothes. He also owns a fake zither (meaning he can’t afford the real thing). That suggests he may be after the gold - but then maybe so is Bancha. It’s a treasure hunt to maybe that doesn’t exactly make them villains per se.
I agree it's pretentious, some of these dialogues really heighten it. I saw it described as gritty but for me…
This is a recurring criticism of Gu Long's works - not everyone likes that he takes his time to get to the point. I have lost my patience with him many times. Nonetheless it is characteristic of his narrative style. I won't lie - I have always preferred Jin Yong's works. That said, Gu Long has had his moments too. I am not familiar with this one and I believe it is supposed to be approached as a original work bc Zhang Luyao is a new character and the original protagonists kind of take a back seat role in this adaptation. The original isn't that highly regarded bc the ending had to be rushed for financial/editorial reasons. But I think it is a suitable works for Xu Bing to adapt bc he likes to change things around a lot. I guess if its a classic hit that can be sacrilegious but for something that wasn't that highly regarded, there is scope for improvement. Let's see if he can exceed what should not be that high a bar.
"Chiba Jiro was not nearly as charismatic as Sonny, nor was his fighting style." I didn't even know Sonny had a younger bro... and I guess maybe that's why...
wasn’t he brother to FL’s SIL? drama didn’t even bother giving him a closure scene 😅
Yeah - can you imagine - getting your SIL's bro a job that gets him killed. There goes that relationship. They really should have given the job to her useless dad.😅
I think this drama (TRTS) is overrated and overpraised. I can't even enjoy it from the middle until the end. This…
I can understand what you mean about from the middle to the end. And I also found the CP here difficult to root for. I enjoyed the plot but not so much the characters. I found the POJ plot nonsensical and boring. But I understand the CP had that wow factor that is missing here.
Why is Mr Yu not in prison but still free to roam around after all those charges against him, while ZL was sent…
I think the emperor arrested ZL immediately bc he wanted to free him to roam around incognito to investigate. Bc ZL was already granted amnesty by the CP/emperor for all the charges that his Jin Yuanbao brought against him long ago. The emperor could have easily just declared this to the court.
the way he changed in ep 1 was so oddly provocative and I don't even know how they did that, you see nothing but…
The knee length silk PJs in ep 2 or 3… I am dead! Is he subtly cross dressing? Chen Kun seems to be pulling a Sherif of Nottingham kind of villain here!
