The directing and screenwriting for this drama (as of all seven released episodes) in terms of enabling Cheng…
Nah of course nobody can fault him for the character that he didnt write. I just cant stand his crying in TJOL. It looked overdone and fake. And the poor screenwriting made it worse.
Glad his character fugui wont do much crying like he did on TJOL. He’s better off playing the cool and aloof characters, not emotional ones.
Fugui and Qintong's lovestory is everything 😭. Despite what happened ml and fl had no miscommunication which…
There wont be happy ending with fox matchmaker series cuz they all end in the period era. In the manhua, the couples only got their happy ending when they were reincRnated into the modern world, an arc that the production doesnt include in any of the matchmaker series.
Sigh.i dont see the relevance of your comment to mine. My comment about the FL being minor is of HuangyangTiantian as Chu Qiao in Rebirth, not young Chu Qiao in Princess Agent. She was not yet 18 when they were filming and news from her side has circulated that they only agreed to sign on to this project if there was no romance (due to her age). So my disappointment is for REBIRTH where it is implied that there wont be any romance between Chu Qiao and Yuwen Yue because the FL is a minor during filming. I hope i made myself very clear.
And yes, i understood very well that people marry young back then, but this is not something you can see on screen NOW. And the actress being a minor is a hindrance for romance scene especially when her co star is 10 years older.
Oh btw, Chu Qiao and Zhuge Yue in the novel only became intimate and romantic after she was well over 20years old, and got married even later.
I have only watched a 1-hour recap of the whole series on youtube video and i cried buckets! And to know that it was based on a real diary of Aya was even more tearjerker. I wouldnt be able to handle sitting through the whole series without my tearglands going into overdrive mode. 😭
I binged the entire 40 episodes in 3 days. I don’t mind the sad ending since sometimes it cannot be avoided…
Concur with all your points especially that brat’s part. Stupid and impulsive to the end, im just so mad he got to live while all those great guys who could have really changed the world during their lifetime lost their lives instead. It’s rare that i could hate a non-villain character this much.
Rewatching this for the third time. Dang my tearglands are gonna be working overtime.
Just came to the part where Qian Zhao went to call on Ning on the carriage, and then whispered “1,2,3,4,5,6….” as if he was conveying secret intelligence, while Ruyi was stuffing cloth inside Ning’s uniform for his injury, all done so that brat would see their affection. Totally unexpected move from the straight-faced Qian Zhao to add wound to the brat’s heartbreak. 🤣🤣
The comedy scenes on this show were so original! I laughed as much as i cried, thats why i keep coming back for more.
Hands down ! These was by far the most morally corrupt plot I have seen in an asian drama.
And here i thought china government is really strict about not letting this kind morally corrupt plot from seeping in. I can understand if this was a webnovel, but to be able to materialize it on screen is mindblowing. This, when so many adaptation got botched cuz they had to change from novel’s original plot due to china’s taboos and stuff.
Let’s clear the air.Bromance (although an unnecessary term) = good friendship between straight men, Like brotherly…
Oh wow i never thought when people asks bromance they meant boy love. I’ve always thought they wanted to know about the strong brotherhood kind and not the romantic kind of love between two (or more) men.
I am not Chinese, but I’ve noticed the heightened interest of boy love in cdrama, but i thought china was generally okay with it since there’s a lot boy love cnovels and I’ve seen Word of Honor which was about boylove (i dropped it because i couldnt stand the flirtitious ML towards the other ML).
Your comment should be pinned so people dont mix up those terms.
Im surprised no one even rated this. Im only at ep 3 but it is really good. The comedy is all on point and the action is superbly executed. Cant wait to finish and write a review on this. Im such a sucker for strong female characters and theyre all poweful here in different ways.
I never thought i’d dropped one of ma dong seok’s works. Man, he’s my fav k actor. Why would he accept this job? It’s horrible.
When i run through the reviews, i thought, “It cant be that bad?” I thought i could go through it because it had ma dong seok! Dannggg, i was soooo wrong! If it’s just bad writing I think i could still finish it, but i had it when they keep fighting in the dark (literally)! It’s like The Tyrant all over again and I didnt even leave a review on The Tyrant (but i rated it) eventhough I finished all episodes cuz it was “thaaaat” bad. I wrote a review here despite how bad this is, purely because of Joe.
Leaving a comment here instead of sleeping (it's 2:57 in the morning) is a must.I don't know why so many people…
I just finished luoyang and Jiang Long’s supporting character is one of the most notable of the show, i like the character very much and jiang long was really good at it. His chemistry with the lead role is amazing even though there wasnt that much screentime of the two compared to the rest of the main cast. I am quite conflicted about starting on this show if the character and the plot isnt well written. Still thinking about it.
Omg my brain went twisty leaving me utterly confused just by reading your synopsis. Like whaaaat? How did they come up with this? What kind of twisted mind could have written this type of plot? 😂 thanks for this anyway, saved my from wasting time watching.
