Ep16. The character of Dong Xuan 'er, written as a spoiled manipulative brat is repulsive enough but to imply that a respected senior cultivator still had this deeply flawed personality just because she is a woman is insulting and disgusting. I love the show. am addicted and wont stop watching, but this stuff is a consequence of the audience-writer bond being boy-on-boy, and I say boy advisedly, and it makes me want to shriek and tear my hair out.
What is Wang Chan talking about when he tells his two companions to keep their mouths shut because "in (where? Yue), 'they' dont talk the way you do". do his buddies curse a lot or do they speak a different dialect or a different language? (obviously I am working my way thru the early edpisodes of the drama, ep.9)...mandarin speakers out there, is there a pun or a joke or are the guys just speaking Cantonese? ?
Seems like 10CM has been handed the torch of being the next host for the upcoming season.https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNLCyooSx8r/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Jung Chae Yeon's character is such a brat. Understandable altho insanely annoying for her to act like a 9-yr old at 16 (?) when the boys left, but not ok as a woman in her 20's. Juwon is really unsympathetic, even if they all love her because she is still such a baby.
I started this to see JCY's work before Beyond the Bar, so I guess it is good to her for playing two radically different women distinctly.
Well, that's it for me. I hate the almost-incest trope which is why I didnt watch this to begin with.
I would watch anything with Bae Hyeon Sung, based on thi show -- he showed great emotional range and he looks like a six-year younger Park Bogum.
And of course the adorable Chois, the two dads.
Hwang Inyoup is an almost-there actor in this show. He loses focus and consistency often enough to make his charisma almost-enough but not quite. I am dropping this at ep.9-10, and I will try out another of his main role shows (Why Her?) in which I hope he presents better .
Im only at ep11, has anybody complained yet about her lack of scarring. Now wet these two short tidy little scars on her shoulder. Successful generals who fight alongside their men and have risen through the ranks are usually quite scarred no matter how skilled. Would Xiao Jue in this show have loved her for her scars, not. Cheng Lei and Zhou Ye are heating up the screen but how long can I stand her breathy voice actor and ZY's depiction of He Yan's bizarrely chirpy 'disguise' as a soldier of the line...not sure.
I think the kdrama version is more interesting sociologically than the cdrama -- SK seems really reluctant to drop the blinders about the only family being the stereotypical one and letting everyone else faces social ostracization. This is more progressive than it looks in context.
I need to make a collection of creepy evil moms in kdrama lately. Sanha's is the worst. The worst.
Hao Fu Shen -- Earth Rabbit year (99), Hu Yi Yao -- Earth Tiger year (98); the casting director must have laughed and laughed! The kids make their rent from these 12-18 minuter dramas, more power to them!
Ep4. Bulky and butch CG wolves -- game/myth imagery? I missed that she used her breastband to tie up her arm wounds, but now makes sense. Still, great emotional acting throughout. She made Wang Pa her devoted follower, "build a better army out of the scum of the earth" trope. Wonderful economical use of it.

Lee Chae Min is the Bomb. And clearly an intelligent actor.

Suspension of disbelief only goes si far.
