WITM has just become my poison (Luoyang is another). The acting, directing, cinematography, even the camera man...everything is amazing. I love how this drama portrays our leads as layered and not the typical protagonist. Xiao Bing for instance, he messed up pretty bad and he has to live with that but I can also understand him. Xia Mu is a fascinating character and I cannot imagine how he lived after witnessing all that horror. I'm not even surprised it messed up his psyche. The actir is so incredible in portraying Xia Mu that one minute I just want to give XM a hug and the next I'm in awe of his smart and the next I'm suspicious of him. Shen Yu is a wild card and I love how ZLY character is introduced last (well, they surely saved best to last) because she just throws a curveball into the investigation. Of all three, Shen Yu is the most layered because of everything she does, it is her calmness that's terrifying. It's like all her feelings are numb and nothing affects her. For this kind of character, it's easy for the actor to be wooden with no dimension but ZLY manages to balance the lack of expression with showing very subtle changes in body language. So far, it seems chocolate amd skating are her calm remedies.... And then the story with dad...well My mind is all over the place... If you are looking for a psychological thriller, crime solving and mind games....then this is straight up your alley.
10 ep in and Luoyang is not slowing down. It's fantastic. Based on the 10 ep. I've watched, I will give it a 9 and let's see if the rest live up to my expectations. Erlang- Love him and Wang Yibo is doing a superb job of balancing the highly educated and not so street smart Erlang. His character is relatable and I love how the writer portray him. Even though Erlang is smart, due to his upbringing he was not exposed to the cruelty of the world; however that all changes soon. To me that's realistic. Yue Hua- She is smart and can kickass too but it's also clear that she has a strong back-up. From her family to the Empress and her people, YH seems to be liked and I like that she uses that to her advantage. I'm so happy that she was the first one to understand and accept GBZ and there is no much bickering. (Well I kinda ship them). Oh I love how YH looks like a Mom with her bickering twins (Erlang and GBZ) Gao BingZhu is my absolute fav. so far and Huang Xiao's acting is brilliant as always. I love how he can convey so many emotions in one scene alone. That grave yard scene with YH is my best scene so far. I went from crying to laughing whilst crying and all thanks to GBZ. He is very clever but also doesn't show off plus he seems to be a good judge of character and that's a plus.
Aside from the main characters, all the side characters are doing a fantastic job that I'm not skipping any scene. This is a drama I didn't realise I needed plus more.
Ending Scene = Me nearly choking on water... Oh, OhmNannon will be my cause if death. P.S. Y'all don't skip the new end credit song...it's full of goodness
Well, He Dun is a 'psychologist' while Ye Jiahui is a 'psychiatrist'... He is a level higher than He Dun... Not…
Well a Psychiatrist is not superior to a Psychologist...These are two different fields so I disagree that is the reason. I do agree that JH is very smart and also manipulative but his upper hand comes from his unscrupulous acts...spying on her, hacking her phone etc. So he is doing his bit to stay ahead. My problem is, they portray FL as very observant, analytical and smart and yet, she doesn't question this person who is constantly inserting himself into her life....sigh
We are on ep. 20 and so far LITERALLY NOONE suspect Jia Hui. I mean this guy has creep written all over every action and our Smart Psychologist doesn't see it at all.... Wow I think the writer/director's angle on Jia Hui character is losing it's value by now. Apart from him being a creep, nothing else is there. And tbh I'm now uninterested by why or how he is doing whatever he is doing. I will fast forward his scenes now (well, I have used the FF button a lot already).
2 ep. in and I Love It. This is a period drama with substance y'all. From the 1st scene, things kick-start with a punch and there are no slow intro to the character blah blah...nope. This goes straight to plot and I'm grateful for that. Wang Yibo is serving looks and smarts as always and I gotta give it for Song Qian who seems to be holding her own....I love badass FL. The one I'm intrigued by so far is Huang Xian's character which is mysterious and very intriguing plus I've always had a soft spot for HX. The villains are sort of introduced but I'm sure there is more than meets the eye. My highlight scene so far is the Empress appearance and how she makes everyone tremble. Like I said, I stand for women in Power but even myself, I don't want to imagine how she got to that state. She appears calm and understanding but everything she says is received as a sharp edged sword. She seems to be the type of person who will say Thank You and you hear You're dead...hehe. Looking forward to seeing her more. I would say if you want a Serious drama with fast paced (well so far) story where every character seems relevant...then This is for you.
WHEN A KISS TALKS PRAN AND PAT's Best KISS SAID: I love you I love you too I'm sorry it took me a while to realise it I've always been here waiting Now I know for sure, it's you I love I've always known but scared to tell just in case I want you I want you too Finally.... At last...
ME: I'm Dead
P.S. That background music couldn't stand a chance on those kissing sounds made.
IF LAST WEAK GAVE US A HEARTACHE AND DEPRESSION, THIS WEEK THEY BROUGHT AN ANTIDOTE... I'm screaming right now.....Is it hot in here.. Omg, wow, I'm speechless 🙊 Brilliant ep. 👏 👏 👏
WOW Massive Congratulations to Queen Shin Hye and Tae Joon. So happy for them. This is one of those couples who managed to have a relationship in public which somehow is private....Kudos to them. Can't wait for their future works.
The bar scene, where pat, pran and ink sit together, wow!!! Did u guys see ohm facial expressions? He nailed it!!!…
And that's why I got confused by him in the ending scene...I mean the way he tensed up and got fidgety whilst his eyes were searching Pran's for something.....Who would think, Pat has no clue Pran likes him or he likes Pran...sigh But like someone pointed out...it's not like he is clueless but the whole idea seems impossible to him hence all the feelings are being repressed.
I'm here cz I can't for the life of me forget Nan's eyes today! His soul shattering eyes keep coming back to me.…
Pran's eyes left a mark in my heart too... His delivery in that scene is legendary and I've never been attuned to someone's emotions the way I did. No words were said only the eyes said it all to be said. It's true what they say, The eyes are the window to the soul. Yeah, Ink is that girl that you can't hate even if you wish to...because she is lovely and pretty. Definitely, a fangal I would welcome to guide our blind Pat to Pran. I'm still surprised that Pat is clueless about Pran because I really thought he knew Pran likes him. So this ep. Left me a bit confused. I would like to think that Pat may know how Pran feels and maybe his own feelings as well but is in Denial or don't see it as possible given their history 🤔 Or maybe I'm the one in Denial...huh
