Angelababy and Ju Jingyi are... understandable. The rest are amazing, seasoned actresses. But even if you think…
Well, aren't you just the pot calling the kettle black? You yourself wrote a huge post putting words in your "queen's" mouth, when you admitted she never said any of those things because apparently she needs people like you to say it for her. I read those articles, and all of it was either opinions of the journalist or speculation by netizens (aka people who spread misinformation more often than not), not your "queen's" actual opinions. Spouting public opinion as fact does not make it a universal truth. It's still based on opinions and speculation. But seriously, get some help, like a therapist or something. Your obsession with this actress is bordering on celebrity worship syndrome.
Does anyone know how many seasons this thing has in general?
The comic exceeds 600 chapters, so there's lots of story left to adapt. If you want to see more of the story (considering the comic hasn't been translated into english past chapter 176), watch Hitori No Shita/Yi Ren Zhi Xia. It's the anime adaptation, and has five seasons covering up to chapter 245 I believe. And a sixth season is supposed to be coming out by 2026.
I am confused... Isn't this a wuxia (a revolutionary one because they decided to represent the fighting techniques…
Demonic sects in Wuxia are simply human martial arts sects that adhere to more selfish/power-hungry tenets than the traditional daoist/buddhist/confucianist beliefs.
I'm past the midway point of the series, still enjoying the story, but my god it's like they spent all the cgi/choreography budget on the first 10 episodes of the series so now almost every single fight is just...skipped over and we only see the aftermath. Also I can definitely tell that Hou Minghao's scenes have been greatly reduced in the second half of the drama - he's been turned into a support role for his own story. Not a fan of that.
The resolution of the whole Luger/Badin plot line was way too abrupt. They didn't explain Badin's turn to crime well enough. Like, Badin had an inferiority complex about Prach being a better cop, so after being caught in an explosion that was 100% his mistake, he turns around and becomes the head of a drug and human trafficking ring? It's so stupid.
I just finished episode 25 and wow, I am enraged on Ye Yun's behalf. I like Prince Ruofeng, but honestly I want him to spend his life deeply regretting what he did, I want him to suffer for preventing the rescue of a girl forced into a marriage she didn't want, just because of political reasons. Everything he says to Ye Yun sounds trite and empty when he's saying to "look at the bigger picture", because that is exactly the opposite of what he should be saying to the man he wronged. He should be falling on his knees and begging Ye Yun's forgiveness.
Controversial opinion: people project themselves onto the women in romance WAY too much, which is precisely why…
I rewatched season 1 after watching 1938...I still found Nam Ji Ah's character the least interesting character in the entire show. I felt no chemistry whatsoever between her and Lee Yeon. I haven't watched other shows with Jo Bo Ah yet, but my feeling is the writing was the most problematic part in TOTNT season 1, because Ji Ah just didn't feel...real, I guess. It was like she existed so that Lee Yeon would have a reason to move the plot forward. If you took her out of the story completely, I'd love the show more because we'd be left with the brothers' story as the focus instead of the lackluster romance.
I thought it was supposed to be better than the first season but it starts "well": how brave he is, all alone…
Not saying you should give this show a second chance but...you do realize that the Japanese occupied and colonized Korea for like 50 years and while yes their presence did bring some economic benefit to the country because they introduced some rapid industrialization, they were definitely invaders, and definitely not wanted there?! Do you even know history? They committed multiple massacres during the occupation which Japan outright refuses to acknowledge. I'm sorry if you're offended that this show doesn't portray the Japanese positively...actually, no I'm not, because you shouldn't be offended over this. It's honestly baffling to me that you'd be mad about it, because to me that implies you want them to whitewash history and make it like everybody was chill with each other when that was not the case. Let's take it even further, and go ahead and pretend that the Germans never committed any atrocities, or the Chinese, or the Russians. Or Americans, if we're being honest. And please don't come at me with "this is a drama, not history, they don't need to bring politics into it", because it's a historical fantasy drama, set in the Japanese occupation era. They're gonna have Japanese villains. It's like saying that we don't need to have the Germans be the villains in a World War 2 historical fiction movie.
They weren't breaking up. They literally never broke up
I realize that now, having watched episode 16, but the ending of 15 really made the viewer believe she was breaking up with him. I still don’t like that they used that as a bait-and-switch cliffhanger, but I’m glad they didn’t actually break up.
I started reading a good MTL of the novel and oh boy I’m already intrigued, it’s not just one person reincarnated…
I’m now 65 chapters in and really enjoying the story. I can’t wait to watch this drama if it’s going to be anything like the book. It feels like the character of Wei Yun was written with Ding Yuxi in mind.
Sarang breaking Gu Won's heart by breaking up with him at the end of episode 15 is such an infuriating moment. I know they did it to build up tension for the finale, but goddamnit I would've preferred to see the proposal. I hate last-minute break up cliches.
I started reading a good MTL of the novel and oh boy I’m already intrigued, it’s not just one person reincarnated into their younger selves’ bodies, it’s two!
It's a cute drama but honestly it's one of those dramas that could've been two to four episodes shorter. I'm at episode 10 and i'm just ready to get back to the plot already. I like cute moments like swoop catches, kisses, and longing stares as much as the next person, but I start to get numb to it when it consists of 50+ percent of the episode runtime.
But seriously, get some help, like a therapist or something. Your obsession with this actress is bordering on celebrity worship syndrome.
