There is no hate on the actors and this isn't about the haters but about the plot or I guess directing? I've watched…
The transition from present life to previous life is dumb. Editor changes the camera lens from full screen to widescreen for the flashback. Editor must be just out of film school, and trying to impress his boss director.
Episode 9. I really hate the aunt but I wish they wouldn't have made her so cartoon-villainy! 'I would have gotten…
The overbearing grandma is the most irritating character. The evil Marquis Chongxing should be her grandson. π€£π€£π€£ His birth mother should be the Aunt.
Grandma, Aunt, Uncle are spineless sycophants. Grandma is one of the worst I have seen in C-dramas. There was another drama with a spineless grandma... I don't remember the name,
The Si Jin drama is something else.... Jiang Si's family are spineless sycophants: grandma, aunt, uncle. Story is moving slowly, after four episodes. The ML and FL are good. The rebirth backtracks ten years, then moves forward, to alter the destiny. The villain Marquis is a sadistic womanizer. This drama should not be 40 episodes. 32 at best.
I watched the Tencent full version (1 hr plus length). The conversion from 15 minutes episodes into one full version produced a very choppy plotline. It might have been better if the writer and director had streamlined the timeline. Hong Yao was very good as Third Master Yin Heng. He resembled Hyun Bin... you might not be able tell them apart if they were in the same room. ππ Jiang Peng Yu was convincing in the role of Songstress Wanwan.
I was thinking the same thing when I started watching the drama two days ago. He's Hyun Bin's little brother. In the final episode, he is the spitting image of Hyun Bin. I loved his role in League of Nobleman.
I binge watched this drama in four days. Overall, it has high production values in directing, acting, writing editing, costume design, set design and music. The hallucinations were OTP. Some of the acting was OTP, and some of the writing was UTP (... under the top). Favorite characters were Zhang Ping, Wang Yan, Gu Qing Zhang, Emperor, Old Master. Least favorite character was Old Empress. I presume that she died in the scarlet mist. (... insert applause here). I am glad this was only 29 episodes. Any more episodes would have been more filler and hallucinations. I would zone out a few times when the plot dragged. I had to rewatch the episode, to catch up on the plot.
The pacing is comparable to Nirvana in Fire. I didn't recognize Wang Duo. I remember his role as Duke in Bloody Romance.
Those are so common nowadays I donβt think they should even be mentioned lol.
As soon as she reached the cliff, I said to myself, "Oh, it's cliff jumping and survival time". LOL It was ludicrous that she would survive the fall, and that Qing Min's boat was there to pick her up.
I wouldn't want that grandma in my family tree.
I love Zhang Wan Yi's voice. I think he did his own dubbing. It was the same voice in his other dramas. He has a very distinctive tone.
