can't believe I have to start my comment with this, but this is my objective thought as someone who truly wishes to see such a high-production project get the best execution and response.
cliche is ALWAYS fun once in a while, esp when the male leads are so freaking attractive. but it's only fun if the acting can do it justice. unfortunately, Jisoo once again did not prove me wrong with her 발연기. their off screen chemistry is pretty banal, compared to all his interviews with past costars where he actually is engaged and likes being in the moment lol
I’m with you, who is Prince Changxin? Maybe a son of the former emperor? Qi Min himself is the former Crown…
do they mention the emperor abdicated the throne? is it bc of Wei's scheming to get the current emperor up there? but yeah, still don't know who changxin is...
Meet Me After School is a Japanese drama about a teacher and her underage student. Technically well-made – nice…
Isn’t there nothing inappropriate until they do the time jump to when he’s an adult? I’m considering watching but I’m seeing so many bothered ppl commenting about the plot’s insensitivity
It's the master , see the trailer for ep 34-35 u will know
wait. wasn't the man in black in charge, when they had the whole "fake Master face swap" and when she goes to save him in the coffin, they briefly fight..?
so we know in the court it's chancellor Wei who basically controls the emperor. and grand tutor li is on the other side of the political spectrum. Yan Zheng is the nephew of Wei, who tried to assassinate him as he started investigating the Jinzhou massacre. And Wei also tried to kill Fan's two daughters, as a way to clean his slate of former acquaintances who no longer serve him any use. BUT, with the new episodes my new question is: Who is Prince Changxin? And how does new character Qi Min play into this? He seems to hate Wei as a family member of the former royal line? Not sure if I got that part right, but he seems to be on his own side as of rn, wants to get Yan Zheng on his side, gives off evil vibes, and we have yet to know who Yan Zheng, our marquis, will stand with.
and also qi min-- he says he was the former crown prince? the royal lineage is confusing with all the princes... can anyone please explain briefly who is who🥲
ok who do we think man in black is? and/or skin-painted demon. (no novel readers pls) I remember last week everyone thought it was either Master (Yun Ke) or Lord Zhou (bc his role is suspiciously small so far). Thoughts after today's episode?
ive been watching pursuit of jade and coroner's diary so everything is getting jumbled up in terms of names...the…
Okok I was confused for a second after taking a few days off but I get it now thank you!! I’m even more confused about who the man in black is after watching today’s episode 😪
im just starting ep 24 after having saved up last week's episodes! going to binge them all at once, but can someone…
ive been watching pursuit of jade and coroner's diary so everything is getting jumbled up in terms of names... the main in black is the one who slayed the chang sect right?
im just starting ep 24 after having saved up last week's episodes! going to binge them all at once, but can someone explain what the man in black is? and the skin-painted demon? NOT WHO they are please, because I know ill find out and I rlly don't want a spoiler... but just what they are in the story as the mysterious figures they are. I think I remember the skin painted demon being friendly with pingshu but then later betrayed her right?
Without delving into novel spoilers, what you've written is bascially everything the drama has given to us so…
hahaha RIGHT ok I thought I missed something. thank you! any thoughts on the emperor? unless it's a big spoiler? he just seems like a puppet afraid of chancellor Wei
its ok I understand you. I just pushed through and finally finished after a month whew.
definitely. mo li's villain arc could've been set up a lot better, to add the uncomfortable empathy the audience usually feels for other villains. their chemistry was good imo but again, rushed and almost random without them showing the gradual development and greater sense of trust and understanding. are you watching generation to generation? That is currently filling my schedule rn, and pursuit of jade. both are so so fun, and I do think they will have happy endings so I'm like super invested in each episode. Doesn't hurt that the cast is also beautiful lol
its ok I understand you. I just pushed through and finally finished after a month whew.
omggg hahaha did you rlly speed through it?! how do you like the way it ended? The part that bothered me the most was how it was a happy ending, with her reaching immortality and then reuniting with he who was dead lol BUT it's not REALLY a happy ending bc literally everybody else dies. Like yeah, the leads are happy, but how can they be truly if their friends and family are all gone? I've watched so many cdramas, and I know historical ones are notorious for killing off beloved characters but ive never seen one where they legit kill off the whole cast LOL I just needed to rant about that a little bit. and then ask how you feel about it.
Ooooo what are the other two you are watching? I thought of generation to generation, not sure what the other…
hah yep ofc generation to generation! I've been saving the episodes since Thursday so I can binge it tomorrow :D the other is coroner's diary, after having finished moonlight mystique and wanting to see more of rui Peng!
can someone pls explain the political part? always so confusing I can see Grand Tutor Li and Chancellor Wei are the two influential people of court, but they clearly hate each other. Wei is an uncle to Yan Zheng, but he knows he's the one who tried to kill him. Li's grandson is the one investigating in ChangYu's village, but he seems cunning enough to have recognized Marquis wu'An without even knowing what he looks like. We also met Wei's son who talks with He Jing Yuan aggressively, but who is HJY? Whose side is he on? And the friend who brought over his paperwork, from the academy. who is that? Any other small details would be appreciated, if necessary!
ok so I JUST started because I kept seeing reels, and then I logged into Netflix and saw it on my homepage... so I took it as a sign from God lol I was hesitant because im watching two other historical cdramas, and tbh all the names and families and political jargon makes me so confused already with ONE cdrama, only for me to be juggling three at once. I'm glad I started though, im only halfway in the first episode and her beauty is unmatched WOW she is so stunning! I've never seen a drama with her before, but she looks like a legit fairy. and ofc ZLH, we all know that already. I think this is a new obsession of mine. 😮💨
