wut if she's 32 and he's returning from his studies aka a university student.. then how can they be childhood friends. he wouldn't even be alive when she was a kid
I know I sound like a broken record but Song Yinzhang would be SUCH a good character if played by a better actress. Lin Yun is not showing the depth required and just looks lost all the time even her speech during the birthday banquet was so bad. She's also playing the character like it's going to be a villain even tho the actress said the character never goes to the dark side so I'm sitting here like ?? why are you looking at the hair accessory with a jealous/hatred expression
I like how this drama has so far subverted most romance tropes. for example: - when Gu Qian Fan and Zhao Pan Er meet, she's trying to run out and save her own life but she ends up having to save him only because he forces her too whereas we usually see FL save ML just out of kindness, while endangering their own life for no reason. - Gu's father's response to his relationship with Pan Er. I was soo afraid they'd go down the stereotypical family objects to relationship route and create 10 episodes of drama off that but it got solved so quickly, the old man was literally hoping for grandsons the very next scene lol
I think it would be such a pity if the writer reverted to old tropes in the last 14 episodes so I hope the previews were just to throw us off. I have a feeling next week will show Gu Qian Fan being interrogated over his involvement with the Night painting that Ouyang brings back. I think that will tie into their breakup somehow.
holy shit that tear kiss scene and the way she just jumps him afterwards 0__0 they have so much sexual chemistry it's unreal
the fight scenes in this drama are so well choreographed and filmed! the director does so much better than so many so called action directors. at least it's not endless slo-mo and cut aways
Yin Zhang and her creepy man need to leave my screen. do you guys think they had sex? he was removing her top shirt when the scene cut away..
ngl I'm kind of looking forward to the break up because imo it gives the actors more room to shine. I'm loving the eps 32 preview, Gu Qian Fan is killing it with his reaction in that scene
I don't like romeo & juliet type of plots where families are used to keep the couple apart. it's overused and cliche at this point. I kind of hope that preview was used to throw us off because I feel like this drama so far has avoided most cliches.
Ep 22: Director gives insight into the romantic petal & boat scene (unfortunately there is no eng sub for the…
oh yes I saw a really nice analysis of that scene and I didn't quite understand why she was sad when I first watched that scene but I later realized that scene was a continuation of their travel since the previous episode where she was already moved by his words about her family and their future. She was just really overwhelmed and wondering if all that was happening was a reality and when she saw him again, she realized it was. This scene was really well acted by LYF.
I really like Qian Fan's dad! he's so funny sometimes but I also understand his sadness now. I still don't quite get the political subplot but this episode was better than previous when it comes to this particular subplot.
the boat scene in episode 22 omg swoon. also did anyone notice Pan Er looked kind of sad when she sat back into the boat?
Yin Zhang is annoying me I'm sorry I need her to grow up asap because I feel she will go along with that Shen guy (because she's desperate to leave behind the profession) and make a mistake AGAIN.
I'm still not feeling Chi Ya Lei (or whatever his name is). So far, his scenes just seem like comedic relief and don't serve any purpose to the rest of the story. On the other hand, I really like Zhang Hao Hao, she was giving some good life advice to Yin Zhang this episode. Listen to her girl!
the chemistry! have you guys noticed how many natural interactions they have? like Qian Fan likes to hold onto Pan Er everytime they walk down steps, or how he likes to lean into her when he talks. Man it doesn't even look like two actors because they're so natural. It's hard to believe ML actor is married irl.
