Lol we all are not sadist believe me most of us that enjoyed this drama are like you! I really loved their moments…
I am loving the whole filling in the quietness of verbal sounds with sounds of regular activities like doors closing, utensils clanking, etc. And I think i have never seen any kdrama depicting summer like this one. It's just so ♥
I think Shunde's character is like a psychopath in an ancient era - narcissism, callous, lack of guilt/empathy…
100 %. No reason needed for sadist narcissists to be what they are, but the character itself was not interesting for a main character with so much screentime. If I have to be smothered by a high on depravity, power and antipathy character, i just need the smothering to be with an interesting storyline and the psycho needs to be a bit smarter than her. And then they also brought in that yearning for sifu's love angle at the end which changed the whole motivation of the character not leaving her to be just a sadist but also a wannabe lover. It was a hotchpotch for me.
I get the script-writers intention behind it. This way the character looked more martyr-like, a man who can love without expecting, which made his appeal stronger lingering in our heart. They do it so much that YH-CY love story didn't resonate as it should've have been. There's a lot left to be desired there. I'll blame a part of it on editing too.
For me, foremost, it's the story of YH and everyone else is just a part of her story. But next to YH i could feel empathy for HQ rather than CY. It's something in the writing that revealed to me this way. Just to me. Not saying everyone would've felt the same.
I don't know how the novel readers feel about HQ. If it's the same as the ones who watched the drama without reading the novel or not.
You gave me an important piece of info which confirmed my doubts. Really thanks for that 🙂 No matter how hard the scriptwriter try to make her misunderstood (accidentally or not), I'd always be team Yun He. Hers will be one of my all time favorite drama characters.🧡

No i haven't. But loved her character completely and extremely nevertheless. And when she didn't invite hao qing i didn't misunderstood her even then. I blamed it on the script. She seemed too wise, intelligent, patient and all the good things for a blunder like this.
For motivation......an unhealthy obsession with her master? that works. Same motivation as Ning Qing had as well,…
I agree with you. Buy my problem is Ning Ching's obsession was more explicitly dealt with in the drama than Shunde's occasionally coming in. Like i kind of understood her obsession with her sifu when he finally disappeared and she kept crying that sifu doesn't see her.
Girl, I love you, but please offer gratitude where it's due! Invite my Hao Qing dude to your wedding! The script be like, let's make this really awesome badass lady have a pesky flaw and make her forget to invite her most well-wishing friend to her wedding like and ingrate. Or is it out of concern for his feelings? Coz Yun He is an intelligent and wise girl.
I find Shunde Fairy's character so irritating. Not because her bad behavior. That's a lot of characters here. She seems very sloppily written in this otherwise well-written story. She's like a spoilt brat. She just wants to torture everyone because she has a powerful backer. No other motivation. Not that sadistic motivation can't be written interestingly. But she's just so dumb and impulsive too, just because she thinks she can afford to be so.
I hated SuJi from 10 miles because she was so evil but she was not vapid because she had a motivation and the cunning to approach that. Here this one can do whatever she can just because immortal master has a use of her. If she would've manipulated him instead, her character would've been way more interesting. Despicable, but still interesting.
Hmmm,ep 3 and it's boring, it's all about chenyi behaving like a**. Kill her? No,let her go? No, then what's all…
This bs will go on for 10 episodes. Then new beginning with a twist. So, don't quit yet. IMO too they should've cut this part to fewer episodes. But I guess they wanted us to feel the suffocation Yun He was feeling being captured. I took it like that.

P.s. I am a huge Allen fan.
