I love how the Director kept posting behind the scenes clips even after it was done airing just to remind us how wonderful this season and cast was<3 I’m in the mood to rewatch today :)!
Just finished rewatching this for the 5th time. I literally only have a subscription to iQIYI just to rewatch Crush. A total masterpiece. The main cast’s sincere emotions portrayed so perfectly that they really brought the novel’s characters alive. And the OST so gorgeous and alluring which matched the peaceful and healing themed cinematography with a lovely rainy day color palette . There were scenes where they were just speaking with their eyes and after reading the novel, and rewatching the drama, it was like another experience because the actors really portrayed the inner dialogue of their thoughts so skillfully. Thank you for letting me find you Crush team!
I just need to say, Prince Mu is by far the purest and most levelheaded character I have ever seen in a Xianxia. I legit thought he died in that one scene and I started crying because it wasn’t fair that there were magic plotholes everywhere and none to save him had he only told someone that knew how to save him…. TURNS OUT HE DID: THE KUNWU DOCTOR ON HIS SIDE THE WHOLE TIME who literally gave him the saintess stone to begin with. Either way, Prince Mu took the risk and sacrificed his life out of pure love for his family, his kingdom, and his one-sided love. No secret selfish intentions, just pure love. SO PURE. I think what made him the most attractive was that he never seemed wishy washy about anything, he carefully and levelheadedly made his decision and stuck to it.
Second to him is Youlin who, despite having her Kunwu clansmen killed and enslaved in front of her eyes and even experienced seeing her only sister die in the battle, even until the very last episode, she never tried to get revenge on any human and never asked any of them to apologize. Like she kept repeating over and over, “All we wanted was to live a peaceful life.” Before watching this I read that they cut 32 episodes, so I was prepared to have an unsatisfying ending. There were a LOT of unanswered questions, but actually the happy endings for everyone gave me a bare minimum of closure that I wanted. So I’m good with it:) and I’d recommend it just for those unexpected happy endings. I need to stop watching sad ending dramas forreal. They mess me up bad.
OH MY GOSH THAT’S SO TRUE. Her sword spirit master was the most ANNOYING character and then we never see him again. I’m assuming the sword went back to Dragon King. But that relationship, how he basically raised her but never said any kind words to her, could have been developed more. But whatevaaa
I started watching this because I shipped the main two lead actors so much in Untouchable Lovers when they were just side characters. I finally got the chance to binge this now and TRULY that was a fun little adventure. Since I’ve only seen Wu Jia Yi and Xu Kai as second leads, I was actually really impressed by their acting as main leads in this. Especially Jia Yi, whenever her eyes would well up at the littlest things whether it was for her Kunwu clan or Li Xuan, I always felt her love was so sincere and pure despite the literal inner turmoil of going against her master’s wishes. The whole cast did a great job portraying their own conflicting emotions and the costumes were gorgeous. You can tell the staff worked really hard to create this universe of Humans and Kunwu. I was immersed and enjoyed it!
Given how close we are to our goal, how about we take some time to discuss the OST. Which one is your favorite…
One of the few cdramas where I never skipped the intro or outro, and mainly because the OST for both were just so perfectly placed with the scenes they chose for the dynamics. I always had my finger hovering over the bar to skip but I would get mesmerized listening to the initial drums and just let it play all the way through. I’m waiting for the whole OST on spotify:(
Tell me how you feel about the ending:A) You’ve made peace with it and find it satisfying.B) You are still disappointed.My…
D) I’ll never have true peace and will forever seethe in my room until they post a special episode about the sisters’ future. How dare they drag me up this mountain of suffering and worry only to end up with an open ending and more questions. HOW DARE
Back here to post about how extremely happy I am that they finally put this up on Netflix in America!!! I started screaming when I saw KHG’s cute thumbnail! haha Time to rewatch the most precious and beautiful school drama of 2019 for the 10th time! It’s so cool how all the cast got really great projects after Moments of Eighteen! Not a surprise since their acting in this drama was authentic with high attention to detail.
