Calling the ending of Pursuit of Jade “shit” just because it didn’t go the way you wanted doesn’t make…
Having an opinion is fine — nobody’s saying you can’t dislike Pursuit of Jade. But there’s a difference between criticizing a drama and being outright disrespectful to the cast, crew, and the people who enjoyed it.
You can hate the show, swear, rant, whatever — but if you want respect for your opinion, then show some respect too. It works both ways. 🙂
Calling the ending of Pursuit of Jade “shit” just because it didn’t go the way you wanted doesn’t make…
No one’s “triggered” by your swearing. Swear all you want — that’s your choice. But don’t act surprised when people clap back. You’re free to call Pursuit of Jade overrated or trash — that’s your opinion. And it’s *our* opinion to disagree with it. You’re not being silenced; you’re just not the only one allowed to speak. 🙂
People who criticize the fight scenes are not disregarding the ‘style’ or emotional impact the writers are…
I get the criticism, but I still don’t see it the same way. In Pursuit of Jade the fight isn’t really presented as “she magically has more endurance than him.” The point isn’t that he *can’t* take hits — it’s that he burns through his energy faster because he fights aggressively and gets increasingly frustrated when she keeps getting back up.
The scene isn’t trying to sell that she’s stronger or tougher than a veteran warrior; it’s showing that she’s more stubborn, patient, and willing to take punishment until her opponent loses composure. That’s not “magical endurance,” it’s a trope about outlasting someone who’s relying on brute force and temper.
And the hair thing? Yeah, that’s just costume-drama aesthetics. C-dramas often lean into visual drama — the perfect hair, the dramatic slow-mo rescue, the romantic lift. That’s not meant to be realistic; it’s just the style.
You don’t have to like the choreography or find it convincing, but it’s not random — it’s a stylistic choice aimed at character dynamics, not a physics simulation.
what a shit happy ending. Wei Yan..did he really have to die? really? “a mother of two” what bullshit is this…
Calling the ending of Pursuit of Jade “shit” just because it didn’t go the way you wanted doesn’t make it objectively bad.
Wei Yan’s death wasn’t pointless, the “mother of two” line wasn’t random, and the “17 years ago” what-if wasn’t a lazy band-aid — it was literally showing what life *could’ve been* without the tragedy. You don’t have to like it, but screaming “overrated garbage” because it didn’t match your personal head-canon is wild. And just so we’re clear — you’re not the only one who can swear here. Most of us can too, but we choose not to out of respect for the cast and crew who worked their asses off. That’s the difference. 🙂 this is The best way to explain things to people like you.
The fights in Pursuit of Jade aren’t some lazy “plot armor” mistake — they’re stylized on purpose.
The whole point of those scenes isn’t strict realism, it’s emotional payoff and character momentum. If you’re judging every swing and impact like a real-world fight, you’re missing the genre. You can dislike the style, sure, but calling it unbelievable or badly done just because it’s not hyper-realistic doesn’t really hold up. 🙂
The fight people are talking about in Pursuit of Jade isn’t meant to play like a realistic, strength-vs-strength duel. The way the scene is shot and edited gives you clues about what the writers were actually trying to convey.
1. It’s not a “who’s stronger” contest On the surface it looks like brute force, but the staging leans more on endurance and willpower. The female lead isn’t shown overpowering her opponent because she’s physically stronger; she wins because she refuses to stay down and keeps getting back up until her opponent tires out.
2. The choreography favors drama over physics Notice how the camera lingers on heavy impacts, slow recovery, and the characters’ expressions rather than on clean martial techniques. That’s intentional. The scene is selling emotional stakes, not martial arts authenticity.
3. Her opponent’s downfall is psychological as much as physical He grows impatient, wastes energy on heavy swings, and loses composure. That gives her openings. It’s less about her being stronger and more about him burning out while she keeps her composure.
4. The duel is part of her character arc Up to this point she’s been underestimated. The fight is framed as proof of her growth — not that she can suddenly out-muscle a larger fighter, but that she can endure and outlast someone who looks unbeatable.
If you watch it expecting a grounded, realistic combat scene, it will feel off. But if you read it as a stylized, character-driven sequence about persistence, the choices in choreography and outcome make more sense.
WHILE WATCHING POJ TRY TO FOCUS ON EMOTIONAL VALUE AS WELL.
it started good but somehow disappointed. It was too focused the ML to look cool. very fan service plot . Even…
I don’t really agree that Pursuit of Jade is just fan service or only focused on making the male lead look cool. The drama actually carries a lot of emotional weight — the relationships, sacrifices, character growth, and the choices the characters make aren’t just there for show.
And comparing it to The Untamed doesn’t really prove it’s worse — both tell very different stories in different styles. You can prefer one, sure, but that doesn’t erase the emotional meaning or depth this one delivers. 🙂
9,1???? That is such a high score!!?Did everyone give a 10?When it aired, people kept criticizing how bad it is…
Not everyone gave it a 10 😅 — a 9.1 just means *enough* people rated Pursuit of Jade highly to balance out the mixed opinions.
Yeah, some viewers criticised the second half and said the FL’s arc and parts of the script didn’t hit like the novel. But others still enjoyed the performances, the characters, and the emotional moments enough to rate it highly. If you’re watching for Kong Xueer, Deng Kai and Ren Hao, then just watch it and see for yourself. Worst case, you switch to the novel. Best case, you end up enjoying it more than the comment section expects. 😉
I’m not trying to be antifeminist or anything, but i found the fight scene between the female lead and Shi Hu…
Nah, I fully disagree. The fights in Pursuit of Jade aren’t some lazy “plot armor” mistake — they’re stylized on purpose.
