Edit out everyone's scenes and just feed this starving fandom all the crumbs of Wang Duo. Idc if I sound unhinged or unfair right now, I just want to see that beautiful man play a beautiful snake in peace and all that tax fraud and plagiarism is getting in the way.
Ever since I've seen him in green robes as Gong Zi, this man has been my first choice for Shen Qingqiu from SVSSS. If there's someone who can do justice to that role, then it's Wang Duo. Sucks that danmei adaptions have no chance of happening or even airing lately, he could've ruled the entire genre with ease. He's that fucking good with his acting and his face... oh, it's so perfect, if someone told me he's an ancient painting who came to life I would believe them.
It's been almost 6 years and I still haven't been able to find another drama that made me feel the way this one did. There's just something so... humane about the way they portrayed every character. Even when I hated some to the bones (Cha Luo), there were moments that genuinely made my heart ache for them. It had a wide range of characters, all shades of grey possible, and the way they were carefully handled is this drama's biggest strength. Neither the vfx nor a couple of plot points might stand the test of time, but the characters will. And the whole cast did justice to their roles.
Contemplating whether I should bang my head against the wall rn. Why is it taking so long to become available online? I don't want to be sitting on a creaky chair with a head full of greys and a heart full of regrets about never getting to watch this damn movie in my entire life βββββ
Edit: I just saw the vfx breakdown of some scenes and it made me appreciate the effort that went into this movie's visuals even more (they're the main reason I want to watch it, along with Fandy Fan's acting skills) I already expected colour grading, but had no idea they used vfx in seemingly ordinary scenes too, especially to add covid related posters. Here's the breakdown btw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b6BxgehDP2c&gl=JP
Perhaps that's not what you originally meant to imply here, but I believe it's a bit odd to assume those who don't…
Eh? I think you misunderstood my comment. I didn't say that you attacked anyone or was forcing people to watch it, this wasn't mentioned in my comment even once. On the contrary, I believe that you've every right to have and share your own opinions. I said that you were kind of implying that people not liking SA in their fiction can't separate fiction from reality, something that you did again here with "yes of course there some people in here ( and anywhere else) who can't separate fiction from reality because of lack of life experience and that's acceptable and normal". Girl, I said people can separate fiction from reality AND still not like something in fiction, just like how some people don't like awkward kisses or immature characters. It's a drama. It's fiction. Everyone can see it as fiction. Doesn't mean they need to like every aspect. That's all.
I, too, didn't mean to attack you and I don't see this as an argument, we're just having a healthy discussion. But I think both of us have already stated our points and there's no point in going back and forth anymore. Have a great day.
