At this point, I’m starting to believe Chu Gui Hong is the emperor, because the way he walks around with zero…
He used to be #2 on my hated character list. Now he has taken over to be #1 on that list. It's incredulous he's so unrepentant and so bent on taking NH down. I hope he has a tragic ending.
So many irritating characters in this show. The kind that can give intense hate. #1 irritating character = emperor = I wanna draw on his face and smash his head #2 irritating character = Chu Gui Hong = I wanna shave his hair and slice his face #3 irritating character = Nan Rui = I wanna poison him #4 irritating character = 2FL's mom = I wanna tie up her tongue and hang her #5 irritating character = 2nd FL = I want her to disappear for good with or without Shangguan He
Give it time..it’s only 10 episodes in.You have to give the FL a break…you are forgetting her impressions…
Yeah, am trying. I like the FL for 90% of the show but it got to me at one point so I hope this arc move on fast enough for me haha. But I suppose there is hope cos initially there were a lot of ML choking FL scenes and those scenes sort of stopped and they've moved on to the FL acting slightly weird now. It's probably intentional seeing how we were rooting for FL initially and now we're more rooting for ML. The show is overall fun to watch but I am hoping they don't just act silly for silly sake.
Have watched up to the current episode and there were many LOL moments. This is fun to watch but I really hope the plot thickens soon. I'm getting irritated with the FL constant criticism of ML and the SML looking all smug and mighty all the time. I hope the plot moves faster with fresher angles. I like shows without too much angst but I can't with shows with too many annoying characters as well.
The philosophical debates is one of highlights for me. When they both sharing an opinion, I keep thinking how…
Yes, me too. I love their convo and debates. At first I thought this was from a novel but I realized there is no novel. The lines are very well written, especially in Mandarin. The language can convey so much depth in just a few words.
Sometimes the storyline is a bit confusing due to the constant toggling between white and black hair lol. I'd followed the story but midway forgot if the current story is present or past. I had to go back to rewatch ep 16 to confirm. But what I do love about this drama is the dialogue. They've got a lot of depth. Yesterday, HRY summed about about the mortal life to BJS in a few lines.
凡人一生、不过百年、却要经历生老病死悲欢离合。短短百年、欢喜之时、恍若一瞬。悲痛之时、却似万年。
It was so good, I had to pause there and then to copy the words. For those who do not understand Mandarin, this is the translation:
“A mortal’s life lasts no more than a hundred years, yet within that time, one must endure birth, aging, illness, and death, along with the joys and sorrows of parting and reunion. In these fleeting hundred years, moments of happiness pass in the blink of an eye, while times of sorrow seem to stretch on for ten thousand years.”
I‘m at first episodes can anyone tell me if it gets better? The story telling from the beginning seems a bit…
The first 2 -3 episodes are not so great cos of a lack of hook but it does get better as their history unfolds. It really depends on your personal preference as well. I think it got better for me from ep 4 or 5 onwards. I'm also watching because I like the leads and the cast.
