Started watching this and two episodes in, I'm so confused coz it feels like they are skipping parts of the story and just jumping to the end of something and that keeps continuing. Literally had to go back twice and check I was watching ep 1 and had not skipped to a later one.
I'm probably one of the very rare ones or may be the only one who liked this more than one and only and I can't exactly pinpoint why but a few episodes in I knew I was gonna like it better. One and only had its charm and it was really well made and I'm a big fanatic for costume dramas and I enjoyed but I'm really over the angst and sad endings in c-dramas and towards the end I just wanted to get over with it so I could watch forever and ever.
First and foremost, gotta attribute why I liked this so much is the chemistry and also the cast. Everybody did such a good job with the acting. The pace of the story was fine for me. There was so much sweetness and I loved watching their relationship progress. I also liked for most of the drama, the antagonists and the negative parts didn't take much space. I do think it would have been better if they ended it in 24 episodes as well instead of 30. And it was refreshing to watch a romantic modern setting drama without your usual recycled ceo and girl plotline. There were moments in the drama which really resonated with me and I went wow this feels so natural so loved that too.
Oh and this and one and only was my first time watching a ren jia lun project and he really impressed me. There was an ease and gentleness to his portrayal and I'm definitely gonna go and check out more of his works after this.
Well it has a plot and the acting is great its really my favorite drama this year .if itsn't to your favor so…
Not you being agressive coming at others for liking it but when someone is basically telling you that you got your preference and people who do like it got theirs, you are acting like you are being attacked. Plenty of reviews right here talking about story, acting, cinematography, etc. but you just lumping all liking it as only caring for fan culture. Mayhaps fix your attitude first.
The whole jyz's ex coming into the picture and only to end up into something anti climactic makes it just so unnecessary. Like he randomly just came into the picture, misunderstandings happened and then you find it was to get shi lei and jin yu zhen together??? And the fact it was not even explained well like how it all happened. Could've used the two episodes before the finale in a better way. That and I wish leads could've gotten together a little sooner. Other than that I enjoyed it. It was fun.
Just finished it and have a big smile on my face. I'm very satisfied. It was emotional at moments, was dramatic ofcourse but it was also so very sweet in my opinion. I loved the main leads relationship and how it developed and I liked the supporting characters too. And one big thing that I really really appreciate is the one whole episode that was just for the ending coz I'm so tired of watching dramas that set the ending concentrated in last part of last episode. Instead here we get a whole episode that felt like an epilogue and my heart was so happy for that, I got all the closure I needed.
Kind of unrelated but I just got done watching go go squid and whenever I saw Hu Yitian my brain made me think of Wei Zheming and now that I'm watching this, I see Wei Zheming and my brain thinks of Hu Yitian. Am I the only who finds some similarity in their looks?!
Started this today and 3 episodes and good lord someone needs to stop the female lead. Saw the guy once who came to the cafe as a customer and you know I can understand you having a crush but it's like she made it her whole personality. Badgering him with messages, finding out his username for game, seeing him at airport and running behind him to find him and talk to him like he's your friend. I was feeling the second hand embrassment. Hope she gets a good character growth soon and soon as in next episode would be good.
One thing we all need to remember is that all are part of Bai Jue's plan. Bai Jue saved Shang Gu and transformed…
Yes knew all that but ep 39 preview where he tells houchi "you look like her, but you are not her" had me wanting to just make sure that it was him pretending not to be aware of her being shanggu and not him actually having some memory loss of not knowing that.
I have a confusion and hope someone can clear it up. Does the bai ju that we get post Qing mu know that houchi is shanggu or he just think she's someone who only looks like her coz you can't sense any power of shanggu on her. I mean this ofcourse before gu jun reveals she is indeed shanggu as seen from preview for ep 41
A conversation to be had with people who just deemed it as xianxia with already done tropes but boy you watch the second arc and the story if definitely not the same if you look past the leads having to struggle to be together across lifetimes part
On ep 8 right now and good god is her best friend annoying af esprit for pestering her about her senior like why you wanna set her up with him so bad and just airing out all about it in front of everyone
good luck to you!at this point I won't even say i'll wait for more episode to be release anymore. I know the moment…
I get you honestly it's gonna be hard to hold myself back coz I also pretty much keep refreshing the page for new episodes when it's airing time. I'm so eager to know what next, so it's gonna be a test for me.
I'm thinking may be I'll wait for all episodes to be out after I'm done watching upto ep 30 because I feel like once shit hits the fan and I know it is bound to happen, I don't think I'll be able to handle the wait for episodes to know what happens next and how it all works out. I would just wanna binge it all. Plus seeing that they gonna start with paying for episodes in advance thing, I'll probably just have to wait for like a week or so hopefully.
