plz!!!!.. I cried.. haven't cried in a long time over a drama.. i cried so bad..
and then the 1st time was b'fully shot... DMD gets NC scenes but this was still b'ful compared to their recent shows
Whoever the director team is.. DMD stick to them.. atleast they know their art.. and most importantly, THIS PROVES that if source material is of high quality, aka script, drama mostly will be great!!!
Untamed, Khemjira... literally take any famous novel
I think the difference is especially with JZB, he never harmed the innocent unlike STL. He even says in episode…
1st para - yes. you do have a point there.
On SL giving the root, i thought after ep 32 it is settled that FL-SL is over. So, i am working on the hypothesis that ML and FL will not find the tree unless SL gives it to them.. and FL is going to ask for it or SL will just give it to her... in both cases, SL will just yield because he still cares for her... i don't think "in return" bit will come up now.. other than maybe "remember me well. Come and talk to me on my deathbed.. or u know stuff like that"
On sympathy, even if dad didn't say anything she would do that same because she really has no identity outside of it. She has been a warrior and is a very proud warrior. Even if the world were against her, she would still be "for the people" because that is what her DNA needs to survive. That's the only philosophy she knows. ... and like i said, she cares.. but as a general , as a warrior...
What she is not capable of (or the talent she doesn't posses) is to be true empress/ruler/prince ... because she absolutely cannot deal with various aspects of civilian society (military societies are very disciplined. Little tricks won't do... you really need to have a deep insight to guage a personality and be able to use their personality to motivate them or punish them)
So, i don't know how they dealth FL-SL in the novel but i feel script is weak here if they show FL becoming an empress at the end.
I like the complexities in Situ Ling's arc and how it reflects on other characters
*********************** 1. On JBZ - SL will literally save his life by giving the tree to FL. For all the taunting that JBZ has done. Also, JBZ doesn't even have full context of SL"s relationship with FL... and just keeps blaming SL - JBZ was tortured in Sunken Abyss and wanted to vent his anger. Avenging Bo was one thing, but he also had his own anger to vent out... so audacity to tell SL that he should not vent his own based on abuse he faced
But still JBZ-SL r fine in whatever is shown. Reasonable
2. FL
She is an absolute letdown in case of SL, and shows her lack of maturity in understanding people. She can only be a warrior and a general... not someone who can be a good people's leader outside of war construct... not because she is not a good person or not intelligent... nah! she has all the qualities but she simply DOES NOT understand human pschye, does not understand leadership empathy to motivate, care, and encourage people when they r struggling....
In modern world.. instead of handling it like a doctor or a psychiatrist, applying only military discipline to cure depression or basically any emotional , human issue
a) Heaven's official blessing - X told Huacheng "if you don't have a reason to live then make me your reason to live", and that line alone changed HC's "life"
FL here said don't make anyone the reason to live, which shows she is not very deep or mature.
If someone is on deathbed with no hope, no motivation, nothing to look forward to and in that moment, if he finds a glimmer of hope then anyone human should want to help him to hold onto it and live. Translated into real world, You meet a manic depressed person who is in awe of you. You understand that but you choose not to say anything but continue receiving gifts/help/support... while maintaining your distance because u don't want any responsibility. And, once you are sorted, you basically tell that person off for seeing warmth, glimmer of hope in you in his whole dark world.
You do not care about the abuse, you don't care abt anything... you don't care to explain anything to them ... but just treat it as a transaction..
if a real person were to say anything against depression today, they will be canceled on SOCMED
**************** FL has all the right to not be responsible for anyone... but it does go onto show that she does lack sympathy of a ruler. The people she has chosen to help through this entire journey are the ones who were useful to her and with whom it makes personal sense to continue friendship .. e.g. she wouldn't mind risking life for the girls becuase she actually gets sthg out of them
those who want crash course and save time. Similarly, there are other videos focused on 2nd couple love triangle...
Overall - drama has wonderful production quality, acting is all rounded from everyone, fight scenes are the best thing about the drama.
Writing is predictable if you are used to this genre. Full of every possible trope. Story has nothing new to offer but if you enjoy this genre - lakorn/korean long political dramas/chinese mid tier political dramas.. then you will have fun with this script
( if you are an intelligent viewer then don't go seeking a complex political thriller, good mindgames etc.. it is not that kind of drama)
Overall - watch it, watch it slow.. not that exciting for a binge watch (story will be too predictable in a binge watch)
An amnesia trope plot in this day and age, alright why not, but what a bunch of nonsense filler. Ten episodes…
i started the show yesterday and dropped it after 6 episodes. IQIYI has posted some long videos on Youtube so you can just watch it to get sense of the full story. it is fairly good in terms of all key scenes captured, all side stories in its individual arcs, and just a shortened version of the drama.
I guess live viewing experience must have been good because this show , writing wise, is nothing new. It is like one plot point after another and nothing new to offer honestly. Atleast, binge watch will not make you think that this show has some great writing. You can easily guess plot points in first 5 episodes itself.
However, fight scenes are choreographed well. Story wise it is a typical typical asian drama, full of every trope known but with good production and good acting
THAT WAS SOOOOOOO GOOOOOD

magic prophecy was quite mediocre.. even dropped it.. just couldn't sit through it

Anyway, it will still be Situ lang coming to rescue ... the couple, JBZ keeps taunting him.. but he is the one who is going to give the tree to FL
He had to stop FL from seeing it because had she seen it, she would never buy the argument about his pain upon laying eyes on her..
Your spirit well is sacred, but more sacred is the emotion to actually worship someone
