ShortCircuit

After 6th, I am still thrilled. This is turning out to be the unexpected amazing story I was hoping for.

So he's not just any other War Demon, he's basically a Devil Venerable one, LOL. THAT I didn't see coming at all.

I know right? :D

*leans forward menacingly* I'll be back.

I could almost hear the theme hahaha~

Yes

Okay so now I checked. LQQ's (Lu Huai's) character is dubbed by Bian Jiang.

That is, Lan WangJi's voice actor. No wonder I was smitten LOL. Though now I'll probably be dazed because he DOES speak more LOL.

(And Chu Ying is dubbed by Yi Fan, who voiced Yan Zheng and basically had a dub in at least half the cdramas I ever watched LOL).

He met (and puppy-followed) Sheng meimei. I think we're seeing something here. He might leave his Severing Passion ways LOL.

1. He's under a curse - actually 5 or them, and he's working on removing them. Not feeling any pain is one of the curses. And he needed to have his flesh removed to get rid of the first one - so, lingchi.
2. He married her so that they got into a blood contract (she didn't know about it) that would ensure he WOULD stay alive despite the lingchi. He's a half-War Demon, his race can do that.
3. She's one of those heroic types who just can't abide with injustice. She tried to get his name cleared through legal ways, even going to the Emperor, and didn't make any progress. So now since she can't do it the right way, she'll do it the extra-judiciary way.

And LOL she was never basic. She has hidden depths - keep watching, she'll come out of the basic mould sooner or later.

On ep3 - OMG he married the Terminator LOL. She's looking all over for Sarah Connors, and meanwhile all the other terminators are gathering around him - he's a little John Connor just praying nobody turns and looks at him hahaha~

Why do I feel like when he decides he's had enough, he'll jump right in and throw everybody out? :D

Riley Wang enters - wow!! - but he's on a Severing Passions Dao. Dammit. Then again, he's always had characters who were playful in all the dramas I've seen him in, it's maybe time for a small change.

IMHO all the cultivators gathering there are karma-farming til she gets there, LOL.

This is SO much better than I expected (I didn't even intend to watch this, now I'm trying to calculate how many eps per day til the express, if any...)

And meanwhile Zhao XinTong is playing in the HALO, there's NO time... *sigh*

PS Chu Ying is here to stay, yay!!

70 mins first ep, 60 mins, the second. I don't know how long the regular version is, so can't say if they're different. The UNCUT does have some 18+ parts, but mostly it's sex toys uncensored LOL, nothing handsy yet (if at all).

So Lu Huai needs to die by lingchi and his tie to the world is through his marriage. And she needs to cast off the marriage bad karma through her third marriage (but she didn't marry the previous two fiances, so how does that compute?)

I'm kind of feeling bloodthirsty here, I hope they show at least part of the lingchi in the next eps and that she gets to witness it - I mean, she HAS to take in those two Lu kids, doesn't she? Any decent human being errr, immortal, would. So she'd still be around in two days' time. And are every Lu clan people also War Demons?!

Is this RJL's real voice? I've developed a thing for nice, soothing voices, he sounds so calm and controlled, I'm kind of wishing to keep listening to it for a long time. I WANT more out-to-get-it, in-complete-control-of-their-fate characters. (ETA OMG it's Bian Jiang, he's dubbing Lan Zhan!!!! No wonder :D) Come on, Lu Huai, rebuild that Heavenly Bridge, the gods are STUPID and deserve a takedown for what they caused!! I mean, WTH, you're going extinct or something, at LEAST release all past punishments that are almost completely done anyway!!!

Wow, the first episode is really solid. I didn't expect such an atmospheric beginning. I'm completely taken in by Lu Huai's character and I want to see how this develops. I even liked the initial exposition of WHY this needs to happen like this (and I usually don't like that LOL).

I just hope Chu Ying has a bigger part in this, LOL, he's so talkative hahaha~ he'd be the one to expose each and every secret he ever learns (and he's not even a War Demon, how come he's helping Lu Huai?!)

I'll have to make time to watch this one as it airs, it looks like it's going to be a good one :)

But OMG, downed with a dildo headshot!!!! He'd never live it down if it were a real life thing LOL

PS I'm watching the UNCUT version, but nobody's there so all the comments will probably be here...

PPS Is it just me or is the bar boss a total hottie himself?! That net shirt was so good on him. ETA MY BAD, SHE is a total hottie :D

VERY promising first ep. I am amazed by how well Poom emotes (though I prepared myself with a fast rewatch of MSI LOL). Totally loving his Wayu character - he's cute and sassy and I'm completely on his side of the war.

I just hope Krit doesn't break his heart (I bet he will).

I just opened ep1, and in the first three minutes there are a bunch of HOT strippers LOL, I even liked the blonde scum pimp. I vote for Wayu and the other four to do the Your Idol dance hahaha~

I mean, what's a ten-year gap between seasons among friends LOL :D

Congratulations to the newlyweds, she looks very beautiful (from a distance) :)

Also, LOL @Dispatch, the cnetz out-papparazzi-ed the papparazzi LOL

I am not yet sold out on it, though there were funny parts and I'm also a bit let down that AHS didn't walk in on EXO's Love Me Right LOL. I mean, it's his anthem now hahaha~

Anyway, I don't like love triangles, the SML's character seems childish, the FL's workaholic persona already feels old, I bet there'll be a lot of mistunderstandings and all. The seeds of a hideous past reveal are already sown etc, I kind of already see where this is going. And I am used to it.

I'll watch the second ep for ML's sake (because hey!! his voice IS healing, LOL), and then I'll see if I want to stick with a predictable romance-and-shenanigans drama or look elsewhere. (Though one point in its favour - he fights Typhoon Romeo and next time Typhoon Juliet LOL, hey PD-nim, you dropped your alphabet letters' order :D)

That'll be the day.

Take a look at this one: https://kisskh.at/746387-agent-from-above

Sword Snow Stride, also feat. ZRY as main lead, also multiple seasons, S1 aired in 2021!

This was not historical. This was a romantic costume fantasy drama.

If you want an AMAZING "historical" drama (I'm using quotes here because it's not about an actual historical kingdom either, LOL), try Nirvana in Fire. THAT one's a masterpiece, though there's little romance in it.

ETA

Actually. Costume dramas with good plot and characters that I'd recc to anyone

1. Nirvana in Fire (the best in plotting, character growth, perfect length, nice ending, little romance though). There's a second season too, for those who want more.
2. The Untamed (xianxia - danmei censored adaptation - that means, Chinese BL for those who would rather not - amazing plot, great soundtrack, a convoluted three-pairs-of-brothers story.)
3. Joy of Life (political plot, some romance, humour, amazing characters, still isn't finished - 2 seasons out of probably 4 are out)
4. Fangs of Fortune (xianxia, demons and mortals, great storyline, lovely characters, amazing soundtrack, good actors)
5. Guardians of the Dafeng (isekai, wuxia, subtle plot that hides behind a humouristic take on the story until it gets to hit you over the head with the ending. S2 in production, S1 had a good ending anyway).
6. Blossom (by the same director as PoJ, good leads, intricate plot, takes its time to get to where it's going, IMHO it has a much better pace than PoJ).


,.. For starters.

Someone had to be on top, just sayin'.
