laysure

i need novel recs where either ML or FL (or both) are like he simu, where they are from ghost/evil realm

it is because it is depressing that it is good, similar with how ye dingzhi and lang ya will be the most interesting aspect of this drama.

there are 4 ML but only 2 ML chase her with only one actively chasing her. One Ml is like a brother figure, possess an obsess love but he did not chase after her bc his status as her brother figure is more important than other ML, he will always be her first priorities. One is her lover and it was only him who actively chased her. One is a demon who is more like her friend and also not friends. He is cold to her and he never let her know he loves her till the end eventhough he did lots of things for her. One is the brother figure friend and helpers in his kingdom, he does not seriously like her and did not actively chased after her, he wants her bc he think they are suitable

yes! when i said bad adaptation i meant it as bad writing, i dont mind changes if the whole thing combined actually make sense and i just personally had issue with writers who turn innocent novel character seems bad in the drama (qiuzi)

the whole qiuzi defending herself saying yichen and ji xing had broken up was li li exact words to defend herself for indirectly helping yichen and his partner (li li friend) to get together, but the drama making qiuzi said that to defend herself for getting together with her friend ex is despicable imo, making viewers felt qiuzi had no shame while it was different when li li said it bc she was not the one who get together with yi chen

i personally dont like that they glorify han ting so much here or how they changed and turn some character into worse. now almost everyone is mad at ji xing, while reading i thought her anger was valid, the changes they made about han ting character from the beginning is one of the reason viewers think ji xing is childish and angry at her while i think it is more understandable in the novel based on han ting character design in the novel

this drama is the definition of bad adaptation but looking at the screenwriter, are we surprised? genuinely why they cant just stick to the basic core in the novel, also the question about love just made so much sense in novel bc he didnt start dating her out of love, he was simply attracted and hope the love would grow after spending times together which was not wrong but what if the love doesnt grow for you but other party get invested? aint that cruel for them?

hence ji xing saying she thought he love her that's why she love him too make it more painful bc she is already at the phase of love while he was still unsure if he had reach the love phase, it makes her anger more valid bc at least in her pov, someone who love her wouldnt use her for their chesspiece (which i agree, at least for me i dont mind being a chesspiece as long as i know about it)

on second thought it is pretty normal for author to change the ending to their own creation few years ago, maybe after years has passed tong hua felt pity for yaoxuan bond, or maybe she and other screenwriters just want to give a shocking factor for both novel readers and drama watchers, guess we are angry bc we know how it was going in the novel and we anticipated it

this is different than changes made simply by screenwriter for drama purpose and to make main characters more noble which i would be more angry about, at least cang xuan has his crazy moment here

the script change is truly ridiculous

the only valid here is xiao yao and maybe jing, for haoling king, that is what most emperor will do, i had no doubts haoling king, past xiyan king will do the same if they were in cang xuan position, being a king is putting your people and country first regardless of the kindness some people had shown in the past. haoling king proved this with what he did with the matter of xiao yao mom which lead to CX so called revenge. this matter was not done out of selfish wishes and desire but the needs to protect his people

when was the time she need the most? also why brought up things when he didnt know she was xiao yao, technically xiao yao want him dead too or basically doesnt care if he's dead until she realised he is her brother, the valid criticism is the things they did that hurt each other (him specifically to her) after knowing each other identities

so you would prefer xiao yao and ah nian suffer from clash clans and risk of getting killed or being in danger as result of that with huge bloodshed between innocent citizens of haoling and other countries?

i dont remember much im sorry 😭 but she kept giving me secondhand embarassment and not in good way, like i cant even find it cute which is shame bc i do like her character in the beginning but since she start liking ml it just go downhill from there

genuinely why? if it was decades ago why would you still care? why would you feel betrayed? i understand the sentiment for first few years but it exceed more than 5 years i think it's enough time for one to totally let go of that past. ofc this is in the premise that they only start dating years after your breakup, eg 7 years. imo within 7 years lots of thing can happen, stranger 7 years ago can become friends now, acquiantance can become friends or lover, someone you hate can became your closest friends, so this is not the case where they are fooling around behind your back while you still dating, it simply just matter of time and how it shaped a person to become the person they are in the present and that includes their taste, views on love etc

anyway this screenwriter wrote bunch of nonsense to add the drama to this drama, they totally ruined qiuzi and yichen character. qiuzi is not even yichen fiancee in the novel and as much as like han ting, i still think yichen is better ofc it doesnt mean he is better lover for jixing, but character wise or as a person, he is definitely better than han ting imo so for the drama to make their character like this...a downgrade

THANK YOU! i kinda like how it ends the way it begin (in reference to CX A'nian Xiaoyao meetings in qingshui town) but i don't really think he lost her eventho he still didnt know her whereabouts in the end

what is the ending for xiao yao and cang xuan based on leaked scripts since apparently the intense confrontational scenes are just a dream?

yes it would be good if my cang xuan didnt go bat crazy but i board this ship knowingly it would sink, im here for the angst, for the betrayal, for the loss of the most precious bonds so im a bit torn here, ofc it would be good to see he repent (i love my yaoxuan 😭😭) but that's really well played if TH go down to that route

but i had doubt tho bc ultimately the lost you forever is for him

so excited for kuanghan kdrama era!!

yall double standard is crazy xiang liu wouldnt say he likes her too understandably, but stop blaming xiao yao for not doing what he too refused to do, some of yall wouldnt mind being told you are not important and still pursue the guy bc yall like him but she had enough respect for herself.

just as he wouldnt give up his responsibilities bc of his loyalty and choose to be her silent protector, she too wouldnt give up her dignity/self respect for a man who in her pov doesnt value her

yes this is why they could never happened bc they both are not truthful 😭, i see it as they both want to protect themselves from being hurt, xiao yao definitely has some protective mechanism, she is not gonna be one of the girls that seek for her love unless she is sure the other party felt the same

im referring to her noticing xuan feelings 😭 ofc she see him as just her brother but she really didnt see he actually harbors more than that despite some of the noticeable hint

ik but one could still see if someone like them romantically imo, ig she just never consider him loving her romantically bc in her mind they are family

xiao yao being blind and dense when it came to xuan loving her
