laysure

so li lun definitely let them go on purpose right bc i refused to believe this strong demon can easily be defeated by wen xiao trick

did guo jingming really wrote this? im skeptical bc there is no screenwriter included here, tried to find on the drama official weibo but cant seems to find it (i think he had interesting idea hence im always tuned in for his show but at the same time i find his writing weak, most of the time i find myself finding his show boring or just think that it could be so amazing if it was written better)

really liking the first 3 ep, doesnt find it too slow and im invested to know everything (hoping this has a conclusive ending and every questions we had are answered), the comedy is fine, it seems like GJM style but maybe it will be much better if it were more serious with pinch of comedy here and there. this drama tried to be so but probably the transition from serious to comedy doesnt seem too smooth imo so at times it feels like abrupt

you also get distinct feeling that ling xiao had feelings for her and the romance still turn weird

the romance in cdrama is handled weirdly and ling xiao is high key creepy but im sick of yall keep saying in the kdrama he didnt consider her as sister bc in the cdrama he didnt see her as sibling too when they are teenager. are yall watching things with your eyes closed bc he has always seen her more than sister it is her who never view him more than brother

it is crazy how different one preference is, i personally think sixth lady is really cute and enjoying her storyline, with lin mao it was cute but their scenes can be boring while her interaction with han zhao got me giggling and honestly would be my most fav cp in the show if they were endgame (unfortunately they are not ik she is not interested in him but they make such a cute trope).

i love yining & shenyuan individually, love their interactions (and by interaction i mean the non lovey dovey scenes) and how they support each other but unfortunately they fall under typical most couple (in my watching book) where the supposedly sweet interactions only made me want to skip 😭 as i simply cant bring myself to watch it, eg yining drunk scene where they talk under tree (?) idk if cringe is the right word to describe the feelings but it definitely got my hand immediately going to skip button 😂

maybe this is why im not really missing the romance bc i love their current dynamics (not against it if they turn to lover (which they will) or if they stay as siblings) bc the plot is what making me invested, the romance development between main cp is just secondary and kind of forgettable to me so far

been putting this on hold for years but what sets this apart from other drama? i think main cp are cute but also nothing special, honestly I LOVE WHEN HE FIRST SAW HER, got goosebump but that was it, the following interaction doesnt really gave the same feels. i remember dropping this bc ling buyi annoy me so much (hate him for obviously favoring fl in lots of situation like i get it but i dont approve bc with his position he should be more impartial imo) and i find the family conflict boring at that time but maybe if i start watching again i might appreciate the family drama? this is definitely not a binge type of show bc once i stop watching i dont really feel the urge to continue? like it's been years now 😭

cuz im currently loving the rise of ning and was reminded of this bc the family conflict in TRON get me invested, but im not sure if ling buyi will annoy me again in future ep or not, like i dont mind red flag or toxicity it is his partialness that gets on my nerves 😂 and same as LLTG, the first meeting in TRON made me feel something but the following interaction are just okay. i definitely stay for the plot and not for the romance for TRON

for those who came for romance: dont! kidding do give it a try and form your own opinion but chances you might not like the romance and find fl cringe (i do too, she is not for everyone and yangzi acting is not helping (she is a great actress but not for this kind of role))

i gave this drama 10 for the esport, the brotherhood, the sportmanship, everything about it is inspiring along with the iconic ost, it truly feel like olympic seasons etc when we root for our athletes, it was a heartwarming journey.

for romance, you might love second couple (I WAS OBSESSED) but unfortunately cant watch S2 bc they change the actress, i get why but the feeling and chemistry was not the same. not saying there were no chemistry for S2 but it was simply different.

so yes do watch it for the esport and second couple :) main cp is definitely not for me (skip lots of their scenes) but they might be for you

maybe im not in the mood but i find everything about ep1 irritable, from the transition, the directing and acting, it personally look very bad to me, even su wuming acting. i didnt recognise the actor so maybe he is amazing in other show but when he was really angry that lu lingfeng has obstruct his investigation again since the gambler died, the acting looks really fake to me, the huffing and everything. i do find the dubbing irritating as well. again, idk if im not in the mood so im nitpicking on everything but will stop for now and pick it up again in the future bc i do want to understand the hype

im sorry but wasnt most tv version had longer episode simply bc the running time and ads in between? wasnt it actually just the same as dvd version without time limits and ads? that's how i understood it, tho it was not always the case. eg go ahead 46 ep on tv and 40 ep iirc online are basically same thing without any extra or less scene

real honestly i dont even mind if there is no romance bc i am invested in the story, tho i do wish my yixiu x han zhao ship to sail but girlie had no interest in him so it is what it is 😭

oh i have read the one with miao (?) as female character

wrote this before reading the synopsis and now that i have, the story does look interesting

is the novel popular or are people hyped bc of the cast? bc i dont think the trailer is much different from other cdrama, or is it bc it is a female general but i thought there has been quite lots of cdrama with similar themes too

but looking forward to seeing bai shu!!!

they are so lame for that (lin mao x yixiu x han zhao) loveline 😭 i was fine with her endgame being lin mao before han zhao appear, now that han zhao is here it is much better if yixiu lin mao stay as pure friendship 😭

thank you. does han zhao character exist in the book? if he is, what is his roles is he going to help shenyuan in the future or is he just some passing character?

kind of expect it when i see them together for the promotion, they are cute but it would be nice if they stay as friends, i love their dynamics too but her and han zhao just giving more for the love plotline 😩

those who read the novel do we know who yixiu end up with? please say han zhao!

and who said otherwise? idk why yall think wanting him to experience genuine love equals to wanting him to not die...? it seems that yall mind are just not capable of thinking something more complex or probably blinded by hatred that you think wishing him to experience normal human emotion towards love is undeserving of him (the very lack of this that turns him into the psycho he is). i was never sad that he died nor do i think he dont deserve to, i am sad that he never experience genuine care before dying, that he died not ever knowing how to be loved properly or how to love properly. growing without one while being abused turns him into the adult he is i only wish he had some epiphany before he passed. me wanting to see him heals does not mean as in physically heals, it was more of wishing him heals emotionally and mentally over the pain of never experiencing true love or never having his love being reciprocated

because he see her as a woman, my intepretation he have flashing bad thoughts when she said he smells good, the second brother didnt care much bc it did not bother him as he totally view her as sibling

he ziqiu is the best character from that drama with the best acting and here we got BHS as someone with the best acting among the trio and he should not be getting sidelined and be the best character here too. see how people dont have issue with his character potrayal bc he delivered but we are dissatisfied of his scenes (which for me too early to say cuz im still hoping flashback) that shows how layered he is as a character and what kang haejun greatness could be, if the story actually focus on 3 of them
