I loved TMOPB but it is an inescapeable fact that Mark Chao flopped around like tofu on wires... and has never…
Haha, you are right, I didn't feel anything when I watched it long time ago. But now, I feel so annoyed with how crappy and random their fight moves were! And you know how they filmed the free fall right? They tied the rope around the waist? So when the did free flow, you saw their bodies didn't fall flat...but their stomach/waist part was always upside a bit...while their upper and lower body were down...making a mountain shape, hahaha. That annoyed me so much in most xian xia/wuxia!
Somehow even if the ending is unsatisfactory I think there will be endless clips of this drama and rewatching…
I come to appreciate more of this drama after I randomly watched scenes from other famous dramas...indeed, when I intentionally compared them...the difference is obvious...
So, I have read people talking about how different each and every move LYX and DW made in TTEOTM, because they are dancers. I do see how beautiful their fight scenes are...but initially I thought those are just normal. So, I intentionally re-watched some scenes from famous xian xia like Eternal Love (Yangmi)...and yeah, when I watched the ML's fight scenes...those looked really rough and random...also, so many scenes where they only showed the body (without faces) and then I knew those were stunt... So yeah, okay, I admit TTEOTM actors, actresses, crews really did great job...the fact that most of them did their own stunt...amazing! I even saw BL did her own scene from heights even though she kept screaming because she was so afraid, kudos to them!!!
I love this page so much...thanks to all of you taking effort to post explanation of ep.33 in the discussion thread! I watched ep.33 and I was lost...like totally lost! And then I read the discussion thread on ep.33 and now things start to make sense. How on earth they expected us to understand ep.33 after being cut that way??? Do they think we are psychic ?
