ML is not human. He is some mutant freek who has been trained by the king to be his devoted servant and instrument…
As for me, the entire cast is perfectly matched. I wouldn't trade any of the actors for another. Each of them played as if they really were the character they were impersonating. In terms of casting and acting, it's one of the best or best c-drama I've ever seen.
Many people feel that there is too much misunderstanding between ML and FL. Here's what I think:
Anyway, I like the way the emotional lives of the characters are guided and resolved. I have a lot of objections to this drama. The main thing is that this story needs at least twice as many episodes to be fully told. But the very idea and conducting all the romances in The Wolf are very good.
Many people feel that there is too much misunderstanding between ML and FL. Here's what I think:
ML is not human. He is some mutant freek who has been trained by the king to be his devoted servant and instrument of death. FL is the only sun in his life, his only love, but that's why ML CANNOT be with her. Whether or not he personally contributed to the death of the Mo family, Bo Wang in his own eyes is unworthy, disqualified to be with FL. This is a man who doesn't believe he has a right to be happy, so he'll never be happy.
FL is a naive teen living first love, Wolfie Boy. She cannot accept that when the boy grew up he became a completely different person. She still dreams of that sweet boy, and the imperious Bo Wang terrifies her - erotically attracts but terrifies. Mo Zhai Xi is an ordinary teenager who discovers that she is a symbol to the whole world and tries to deal with it at the same time as she experiences her first passionate love, so don't be surprised that hormones make her absurdly stupid at times. She doesn't know the real life, the real world, because she grew up in a small town in the provinces where everyone adored her, therefore she cannot cope with the emotions and the political situation.
All in all, this drama is a great proof for me that love is not everything. You also have to grow up to love. ML and FL are not grown up to love, they are in a booming hormone phase, so like Romeo and Juliet, they act like the last idiots.
The only wise hero in the matter of love is Ji Chong, who knows that he will not be happy at all to dedicate his life to a woman who does not love him.
Yes, he is, and if I saw right, five of the XNine boys appeared on the official Wjjw website. The photos are old…
A few months ago, I saw an interview with the WJC where he cried about his XNine days. He said he didn't want to talk about it anymore because it was too hard for him. WJC and PCY were adepts of music academies and had their own artistic visions, while in XNine they could not be realized because it did not fit the general concept of the group. the boys were also forced to compete with each other and the company incited the solo fans to fight. These were such brutal times that Wjjw was voted the worst agency in China. Wjjw was able to find real talents but could not develop them. XNine was the agency's first creation. I think the WJC has a grudge against Wjjw, but not towards its group mates. When I saw them showing up together, I never saw any reluctance between him and XZ, and I watched closely because their fans were the most competing. He was rather sorry to Wjjw that it spoils a good friendship. But their contract is valid. The hiatus ends in a few days and Dani would be the last idiot if she hadn't forced the boys to record at least one single. It will be a repeat of "Guang Dian". It will take them up to three days to record the song and the music video, and the company will earn millions.
Why do people hate XZ? For what I know, people were mad at a fanfic, but why the hatred towards him? Am I missing…
I only partially agree with ChineseDramaFan. The problem is much more complicated and XZ fans are not that stubborn and intolerant at all, and were deliberately framed to destroy XZ. In fact, XZ was too popular, too loved, and won everything there was to win in 2019. XZ is just different from 99% of the idols in China, Korea or Japan. Its popularity has threatened the current idol model from the idol factory. Instead of allowing this strange phenomenon of XZ to exist and calmly wait for interest to fade on its own, a group decided to remove it and convinced many online communities that XZ fans were evil incarnate and to punish them they had to destroy their idol. Xfx weren't holy, no fan community is, but they didn't do the things they were accused of. XZ fans defend him not because of offended pride, but out of pure love, because since 2015, even before his official debut, XZ has always treated his fans like younger siblings and even now, although he himself was in serious trouble, he fought corporations that wanted to dishonestly earn from his fans, including Sina. If people wanted to destroy your beloved brother, you would also fight for him.
Show business is beautiful because there is room for different artists and tastes, but for XZ there is no room. But we want to see people like him, warm, kind and giving their best in every role he plays. We fight not only for him, but also for our ideals and our aesthetics.
XZ isn't hated that much. People already know that XZ and xfx are innocent. There are still a few crazy people, but there are radicals in every country, and in China, XZ is their number one public enemy. Normal people like and support him. They may not be madly in love, but they know how innocently he has been wronged and they want to show him support. Information about hate is greatly overestimated.
I wanted to write this a long time ago. It will be a private love confession, hehe :)
I love XNine and I love watching them live. It started, of course, with the XZ. As a new fan influenced by some rumors, I felt that XZ was treated unequally, that he was discriminated against because of his age. But that turned out to be not true. I watched more original material, not gossip. I have seen concerts so many times that I know them by heart and I can say one thing: XZ was not treated worse in XNine than his colleagues. On the contrary. I get the impression that the camera is looking for him.
So if anyone wants to tell you that XZ in XNine's time was unhappy, don't be fooled. His younger brothers always respected and loved him, and he respected, loved and cared for them.
Yes, he is, and if I saw right, five of the XNine boys appeared on the official Wjjw website. The photos are old but show their original layout minus the boys from R1SE this is PCY, WJC, GJC, GZF and XZ :) Was Dragon Lady planning something as XNine's official break is ending? This isn't official information or even rumors. these are my private dreams. One or two songs by OB + ZyFan! I would be in heaven!
The Wolf. But only if you were charmed by the smile and eyes of XZ :)
I hope you will like it. It's hard to recommend something without knowing someone's taste, but those eyes, that smile ... A completely different character, and the effect in the heart is the same :)
The Wolf has elements better and worse, but buahaha !!! Epiody 27 and 28 - I haven't had so much fun for a long time! Ji Chong deserves his own drama. He's just as sweet as his daddy! Have someone post something like #jichongdrama or # jichongTheWolf1 / 2 on social media. A drama about Ji Chong would be a hit !!! I guarantee :)
Recently, I entered the professional market, very similar to screenplay writing, so that the viewers liked it, so my perspective changed. I am no longer just a spectator, but I have to anticipate what the market expects. The Wolf has a nice idea, but the censorship did not allow him to bring out the most interesting, supernatural elements. The viewer must guess some things - one will like it, others will not. Looking at the structure of this drama, I have the impression that the target group is teenagers, those who like supernatural elements and people who do not mind simple stories. This is a drama for a young viewer and one who can turn a blind eye to some shortcomings. EVERY drama has a ton of deficiencies, so in my opinion, The Wolf is no worse than any other romantic drama. Some people accuse the protagonist of being stupid, that she is not strong enough, but they either never were teenagers wanting love, or they forgot how stupid people behave then. It's not a bad drama, nor is it badly made. It has some terrible flaws and has some beautiful scenes. For me, the first two episodes were the worst, and I read loads of opinions that they were the best. Many people find Ji Chong to be the coolest 2ML ever, but there are also some who find him irritating. Personally, I think he would be a fascinating character if he were given his own drama. There just wasn't enough room for him here, so he was shown too vaguely. My advice - lower your expectations, take a deep breath and start watching. If you disappoint, the shock won't be too big, but you might as well find The Wolf something great that people who judge negatively don't notice. Either you lose a few hours of your life or you get a very pleasant experience. I watch. This is not a genre that I like but watch. I will not lie, I am interested in the story of Ji Chong. He's terribly annoying, but I like him anyway :)
I stopped at episode 26. I can go no further. I'd rather be tickle tortured to death. This drama is juvenile.…
It is the classical and naturalistic trends in art that are supposed to reflect life, The Wolf represents the romantic trend, which has little in common with reality. This is pure fantasy that happened to be based on actual characters. FL is not a role model for girls (women) and they do not treat her like that, but a bit of harassment by a beloved man - after all, they are engaged and in love :) Believe me, not such scenes can be found in the most popular books;) You don't like it, okay, I just want to point out that art, even popular, has more dimensions than just an imitation of life. Surrealism, cubism, onirism ... Not only the Renaissance.
No worries, your question is perfectly normal. For me, The Wolf is like 95% c-dram - some elements are better, others worse. This is an idol-drama, i.e. a production that is not ambitious in production or in the script. "Qin Dynasty Epic" is beautifully shot and visually impressed me, but it's a historical drama, so the plot may be a bit boring if you are not a history buff. It has excellent battle scenes, but not everyone likes to watch armies murdering themselves. There is no romance yet, but the main character is still a child, so I don't know how the action will go on. As for The Wolf - if you give him the credit of trust and turn a blind eye to his many shortcomings, he can be a fun, light entertainment for you. Some people are said to be moved as well, although I personally find the most tragic scenes the most laughable, but I just don't like sappy romances.
But I don't understand what your commenter has to do with what I said? Did you just want to show that I am petty and arrogant and that you are so objective and honest?
I don't know you, I have nothing against you, if my post offended you, sorry but if you tell me that all those votes for The Wolf are because all voting people honestly consider The Wolf the best drama of 2020 then I will not believe. Even the producers thought it would be a flop. And judging by your other comments, I think you know very well which audience is voting most actively. And you know why.
Actors almost 30 years old playing ten-year-old children? The heroine throwing herself into the abyss only to be saved by her beloved? If this is the best drama of 2020, then I'm really crying.
This picture has nothing to do with the drama. This is the 2020 Spring Festival Gala promotion. Someone put it…
I recognized the photo because I saw this show in January 2020. If you look closely, there is even a date on the red lantern, only a mouse is on it, because 2020 is the year of the rat.
