It was specifically designed to tease Zhao Yan and intimidate him at the same time... We are getting some great psychological warfare here. Its delicious how eye opening the magnificence of Qin must be for Zhao Yan and the word sparring just cracks me up.
Lol that’s exactly what I said about the age gap and Qin Dynasty!But its interesting to hear your take on the…
Funnily I hope I am wrong because otherwise, we are going to get more of the same for a whole bunch of post-covid dramas. Although I am told in China, right now they don't have to mask up as much anymore as they have the situation largely under control. I do remember though LOF was shooting during the WORST of the pandemic so they were probably hit hardest.
Personally, it wasn't a depression that I suffered post CQL...it was more like a noticeable void that seemingly…
Yeah I feel the same way about the fight scenes. The ballet like flitting around has its moments but lacks impact. It looks more like being tickled by a feather instead of kicked and punched but as you point out, that is the way it is now.
Although the first 8 episodes are slow, there are many character intros and I think if it went any faster, it would be overwhelming so I am ok with the pace. Both leads also are not yet in character but this is often the case although I am surprised for an experienced actor like ZYL. The script is terrible and the dialogues are unnatural and stilted and the dubbing makes it seem worse. I know that the actors have quite a bit of discretion to change the way things are said to make it more natural, which they do when they rehearse the scenes ahead of shooting. This does not appear to have happened here. I wonder whether this is because health precautions during covid limited the amount of pre-shoot rehearsals they were able to do. I am willing to be a bit forgiving here because the story has potential. As for all that age gap, its not that visible to me but I have most recently been watching a 40 year old man play a 13 year old in Qin so I guess it is all relative.
