Those snowfall scenes in last episodes😍 Tong Hua is hinting us again that it's none other than Xiang Liu who's reborn as Tang Qi❤️ I'm not just fanatasing, am I?😁
Tang qi is soooo smarttt man😭 not only that, him and Gu Yu actually use brains n investigate like real detectives…
Agree! Tang Qi uses too much of his brain... He's learned to play the game now! Did you notice, at the end end of the ep 21 Tang Qi is giving off Xiang Liu vibes?!
Oh my.. Quan Sheng Tang and Su Cheng Cheng together?! Now I'm really curious how she managed to do that.. it's getting more and more interesting day by day. Can't wait for the next episode!
lost you forever ost aaaaaaa crying, i was trying to forget my man xiang liu but they just did that easily, that…
Who the heck decided to play this OST here.. 😭 I was laughing a moment ago, and then it played... now I'm crying... I guess the makers don't want us to be happy for too long 😢 Xiang Liu will forever be alive in our hearts❣️
Can't agree more! However, no lie, I find Xue Ran Ran a bit annoying. Most of the time, her dialogues are like 'Master is so handsome...' or 'Master this and that...' I'd love it if her lines were more meaningful and focused on other stuff beyond just obsessing over her master every chance she gets. Yeah... appreciating beauty is one thing - Cdramas aren't Cdramas without some of that - but the frequency of these dialogues was overkill for me. Mu Qing Ge does it better, imo.
ANCIENT LOVE POETRY: Shanggu and Bai Jue are lovers. Tian Qi likes Shanggu. YueMi likes Tian Qi. Yue Mi died saving…
Le me.. focusing on the fact that they used the same set over and over again. One minute it's the Bright Moon Palace, and the next it's the Cold Spring Palace. They also kept showing the sea where Jing Yuan got killed by XingYue's bow and for no reason, XingYue's residence was also one of the reused sets which doesn't even looks like a place where a Supreme Goddess resides. To make matters worse, there were barely any background actors. I mean, you're fighting for the three realms, and aside from the three - XingYue, Jing Yuan, and Mo Li, what were the others even doing? It's like they didn't care about their masters' or Realm's safety, and the director just wanted us to believe the fights were legit. Seriously? And on top of that, the fights were super short - just a few blows and it's over. Is it really that easy to take down a god who can destroy the three realms? It kinda ruined the emotional impact for me. I still liked it overall, but there are some things that just don't make sense to me...
should i give this drama a try ?? i’ve been putting it off bc the ML isn’t really one of my fav actors but…
Well it depends on what you like to watch..
To be honest, the story is complex and requires multiple watches to fully understand and appreciate the emotional connections with the characters. Even the support characters have their own stories. Xianxia is a genre mostly known for character developments and emotional rollercoaster stories. If you prefer characters' struggle and development more over plot, then it's definitely for you. There is a reason for its high ratings worldwide, right? So it's definitely recommended from me.
The initial episodes might feel fast, but later ones slow down a little, and it's up to your patience level to stick with it. The story has three arcs. If you're a fast dropper, you might drop it in the initial episodes (the first arc of the story), where the story is still in its development phase. However, if you stick with it for at least 8 episodes, it gets interesting thereafter. The second arc spans episodes 16-39, and the rest are part of the third arc (though I don't recall the exact episode numbers for the second arc).
As an ALP fan, I can say that you explained the connection between Ancient Love Poetry and The Last Immortal beautifully.
I watched this drama when it was airing and just stumbled upon your review and stopped to read it because of your Headline. I share the same thoughts as yours on Yuan Qi's character. I just couldn't understand why everyone was blaming him - I mean, just try to think from his perspective for once; he had no absolute control over those events, and everyone was trying to use him and exploit his kindness for their own good. He tried his best to protect everyone. I couldn't help but somehow blame A'Yin for her own tragedy; she never once tried to listen to Yuan Qi and was always thinking of outsmarting everyone, which made her seem too stubborn and naive. Had she tried to understand Yuan Qi and his position and responsibilities, she would not have died under Yuan Qi's sword - as the saying goes, "who wears the crown, only knows how much it weighs."
Even after her Nirvana, she never tried to understand Yuan Qi and was constantly blaming him until she learned about his deteriorating body, which couldn't hold on for much longer. She never tried to put herself in his shoes, look at the bigger picture, or realize her own past mistakes. Fate and people around her were cruel to her, but even more so to Yuan Qi. You don't know how much I wished to see Yuan Qi happy and carefree again; his last words before his death really made me shed tears.
However, I still feel that the drama somehow lacked in portraying this heart-wrenching story in a more impactful way or maybe I'm nitpicking things..🤷🏻♀️ Also I didn't like the idea of making this a standalone drama and changing all the names and not even providing a clear overview of the prequel. This would have helped the viewers to understand the characters and the motives for their actions better.
Anyway.. your review was very beautiful and I almost had tears in my eyes just by reading it, as those heart-wrenching scenes from both dramas flashed before my eyes once again..
