How could they end the drama without showing the WEDDING. I waited the entire season for them to get married and they don't actually get married at the end. She has been engaged so many times that she's not married until they actually show the WEDDING. Even a quick scene of them both in red zooming out would have done it. I am so upset by this, but other than that, it was a really satisfying ending.
Oliver Chen and Zhao Lusi are going to be in a drama together, as the main! I know the casting changed (and is probably not official yet) but I'm a lot more excited for this now. Hated him on Goodbye my Princess (great acting just didn't like his character and he became one of those actors that I could only picture playing that character) and so I avoided his dramas after that, but after Fall in Love (2021) I freaking loved him. He is really good at playing very dislikeable characters (even in parts of Fall in Love) so I can't wait to see what kind of character he plays here, I usually like morally grey charecters (not outright jerks).
I came here after listening to his music, thought he was just a singer, then found out he was (part) Japanese, then I thought he looked a lot like this actor from a (what I then thought was a Jdrama) Taiwanese bl.
I get that the FL's sister is meant to be tough and strong having to raise her younger sister (the FL). But, I HATED her so much, the FL wasn't that great either (she was a bit stupid but not bad), but the sister got on my nerves. She was such a horrible, mean and unreasonable person.
I see Taiwan has been influenced by the USA in regards to casting 30 year old actresses who look 30+ years old…
It's not even the fact that she was 30 years old that bothered me. East Asian actresses also tend to look younger than they are (compared to Western actors at least). It's the fact that they did nothing to conceal the fact that she was older than the male lead (by several years). Her outfits made her look like a grandma, her hairstyle did not suit her at all. I think 'Go Ahead' did really good with the female lead they chose despite her also being 30 and playing a teenager (up until the character was in her 20s).
The FL does a a lot of martial arts, she is especially good at kicking people in the head/face, but I don't understand why she always wears a skirt. If she is going to go around kicking people all the time, how is wearing a skirt in any way practical considering her specialty in Kung Fu (the only thing she knows). Her outfits are off-putting in general, but they also make no sense.
I thought the one with Liu Shi Shi was the original, but I think this is. I hated Scarlet Heart 2 the first season was good but the female lead made no sense (ever in both seasons), she was indecisive and just outright stupid a lot of the time in Scarlet Heart (Chinese version btw). I usually love Yang Mi's roles, I've only seen her play strong (badass) characters and I hope I like her in this. I haven'twatched this drama yer but there doesn't seem to be a season 2 continuation of this story (of these characters). Are all the seasons connected?
On episode 12 and so far I love the father-son relationship between the male lead and his dad (Ning family). I was surprised at first how much Ning LOVED his children considering how he was about to kill the mother if his children until he found out she was pregnant. He's so good to both his children and has such a hilariously sweet relationship with his son. If it weren't for the first episode where we see how Ning was obsessed with the FL's mother and lead to her death, I would have found him to be a genuinely good guy. I care more for the relationship between the Ning family father and son than I do just about the entire plot of this drama.
This is starting tomorrow? No wonder it kept coming up on my YouTube reels. The actors seem to have good chemistry, their behind the scenes are adorable and funny.
This is a time travel drama! I was going to watch this drama anyway because of the main leads, customs and cast. But I had no idea it was a time travel drama. I love Chinese time travel dramas, usually the longer the better.
From the tags, it seems like this movie will be set in a parallel universe to the original timeline of events in the drama. But I kind of want this to be a continuation of the original timeline from the drama with the ML somehow being alive so that the main leads from the drama can have a happy ending.
This is one of the few dramas where I did not care whether the ending was meant to be happy or sad, it is an open ending and I am fine interpreting it as either. I think it was around episode 18 where I realised the ending was inevitably going to be sad and I was happy with that. My heart broke throughout those episodes (18 onwards) to the very end. Despite this drama being about time travel with the FL constantly going back in time to change her and the ML's fate, it's also very real in the sense that no matter what she does, she can never change her timeline and will always come back to her present life. She can never change her fate but she learns a lot by going to her past. This drama is heartbreaking and truly tragic (in my opinion) but it was worth the watch.
I liked this drama, I don't understand why it is so hyped, but it was definitely a good drama with a good cast. It was worth the 58 episode watch, I usually don't watch dramas with more than 40 episodes because the storyline tends to drag, which it did here but it still had me hooked. I literally couldn't stop watching this drama after starting it, it took me less than 3 days to finish this drama and I only started skipping words the end when the final story arc started, because at that point the story was dragging for the main leads and I only watched the second leads towards the very end. I think that for such a LONG drama, they should have had some sort of satisfying ending. Like just about every historical drama I have watched, the ending was rushed despite the dragged storyline towards the end. They couldn't even make Ye Hua the Heavenly Emperor at the end. The Celestial family didn't get the punishment or at least the retaliation they deserved from the male and female leads. The twins (Mo Yuan and Ye Hua) had very little screen time together, I really wanted to see them get along and be family to each other because Ye Hua's 'parents' and 'grandfather' were not it. The best thing about Ye Hua's parents and grandfather is the fact that he is technically not related to any of them, he shares no blood with them nor personality. He clearly inherited all his traits from his biological family.
I didn't realise that Mo Yuan and Ye Hua where played by the same actors. Heck, I didn't think they even looked alike until I saw them both in the same episode. Mark Chao played these two roles really well, I think it was because of how different their personalities were that I didn't realise they were played by the same person. You can really tell that Mo Yuan was OLD and Ye Hua seemed like a child next to him. Not to mention Mo Yuan's facial hair, that to me made him look completely different to Ye Hua.
