Agreed. The ML feels kinda 2D at this point. Limited character development, barely any action scenes for a supposedly…
LOL
Yeah these were definitely STRONG OFF notes .. I switch into "Pink Panther" lenses when these 'tears and frayings" appear in this drama .. because otherwise it's been such a pleasurable ride and I am too invested in my 'feel fun moments'
Occasionally the "be good-be kind" preachy dialogues also made me cringe when it took more than necessary screen time; however I excused it as the fallout of watching the drama binge mode .. It would not feel that way, maybe also about the repetitiveness that sometimes comes through if I was watching it as it was airing .. ep by ep daily and not the entire 32 eps over 2 day binge
There are only 7 eps left, and there’s still so much to unfold. Xie Zheng is portrayed as a Marquis and a war…
I'll have to agree with you ;-p
EVEN as I squint past it, or rather I spit out the grit in the lovely steamed rice ..
Such is the seductive power it has built up till now, I can blink past the 'holes' .. and often enough other stuff is making up for the the lost sh*T ..
Changyu knocking ppl out doesn't sit well with some viewers. I can respect that perspective.Though, for me, I…
Well described LOL Direct Short Effective .. Reminds me of the way she got them "gambling den thugs" in line and working for her .. or the way she dealt with the Wang Jr Restaurant owner LOL
Is Wen Kan faking his friendship with Chang Yu to get back at her and the marquis?
Nope. He is too loyal to Grneral He!! It would be OOC for him to turn that way (IMO it would weaken the script).
The sudden play in of a body double IMO had already weakened it - the drama might have skipped what the novel may have : a hint of a double (not a sudden bizarre drop)
Although I was aghast that the scriptwriters got away with it .. but I still chuckled because my mind wore the "Pink Panther" lens ..
It somehow fitted into the "silly" effects strokes that drama keeps consistently serving up ..
Good one.
Did you watch AJTL?
It was a good balance in that, if I remember correctly.

What a FANTASTIC FL in a fictional period drama

She might just win best actress 🌹
Please put spoiler ticks is ✅✅✅
No no he didnt play dumb at all .. IMO
I'll get back at length ASAP on this ..
In fact I find that to be a point of such beauty and tension, so well executed :-p
Is that so?
I didn’t think that way.
In that case kudos to :
- What If
- The Tale of Rose
They did break the mould and turn up a very moving real portrayal of endings that celebrate life without going the expected way
