The cliffs in this drama look so fake that it's hard to take them seriously. 😂😂Instead of feeling anxious…
You'll find people with similar thoughts here. If you want to find an editing budget that is even tighter, "The Eternal Fragrance" is it! The choppiness is beyond. Still, cliff falling scenes are Chinese drama specialty. At least, we have a laugh with it.
maybe I’m completely on a limb here..but does anyone feel her eyes are just too huge? beautiful yes but way…
I also find it a little scary at times. Meng jie has huge eyes, wears enlarged contact lenses and... stares a lot. Coupled with her frail physique... But, they serve their purposes in certain scenes when she needs to be (act?) cold and ruthless.
its funny cause if the cases took longer to solve, someone would say they are dragging it out lol. Guess writers…
I agree. The writers are the most "in-demand" when it comes to the blame game of C-drama... What do you think of the speed of the case solving here? Personally, I understand what this drama is about. So, despite my opinion regarding it, I still follow. It's simple give-and-take.
Because of your comment (thank you), I checked out the cast and found out Peter Ho will portray FL's father! I have high expectations for his scenes now haha.
The more I appreciate opinions that are not rants, or even tantrums, but actually descriptive and constructive.…
Oh yes, I haven't thought of the attack/bullying situation when I wrote my reply. Sorry that happens to you and others here. (I'm new so maybe haven't to me yet...) Keep strong and keep swimming!
I bingewatched the first thirteen episodes. The princes are the most inadequate applicants for the Emperor job.…
I think, there's nothing wrong with being flawed. One can be flawed and still be able to rule (well, even). Don't be too immersed in the culture of cool-headed decision makers and leaders. Even in real life, it's their portrayal, not what really happens behind the closed door. Having feelings and emotions is important, even essential.
I don't think Cui Jin Bai has realised Bu Shu Lin is female yet. He is simply perplexed by the crown prince's words. But I do agree with several points you mentioned here. I think, many characters in this series can be categorised as "delulu". But I take it for a grain of salt because it's fictional and I'm well-aware it's just an escapee for me.
I've spoke to some of you and some were good convos regarding the characters and some made me think of writing…
The more I appreciate opinions that are not rants, or even tantrums, but actually descriptive and constructive. Life is tough enough. When I see "too much" (tbh, the Chinese fandoms and fan culture can be super toxic and absolutely foul, similar to others like Korean and Japanese that I know of), if I don't have anything proper to give or support, I just pass by. The less ones pay attention to negativity, the faster it dies down.
Episode 14 is tight. The intimidation-on-the-bed scene (followed by the medicine drinking then bowl throwing) is the first highlight of the main couple, for me. They finally bare it all, instead of hiding, guessing and saying empty words. I think, this scene is key to their relationship development and probably one of the deciding factors for the casting of Meng jie. Her stiffness is the perfect fit here. Delectable.
I quite enjoy the second couple and their increased screen time in episodes 14 and 15. They are unique enough, yet not overpowering. They compliment the main couple but also serve as refresher, once in a while when the main gets... too much (for me).
The cases are interesting, but get solved too quickly, which makes the power struggle flimsy and weak. My stance on the leads being OP remains. Perfect/no-fault characters are a bore. So the fast pacing helps. Props to the screen writers, directors and crew.

Learning about the schedule of Chinese (platform) series is a... unique experience, for me. Edit: This is this week's schedule.
And I hope it won't derail like "Blossoms"...
