It is a chinese culture that a man should be responsible when started to get a relationship and eventually getting…
And that's why this culture needs to GO. Plus, it's not like FL didn't choose this path herself. If she really couldn't wait anymore, she could just leave the relationship for good instead of forcing ML to become the person she wants.
She agrees with her mom. That's what. But she never wants to admit it outright. She wants to be that cool gf who's nonchalant about these traditional cultures, but truth is, she cares and wants all of it.
Why was it so easy for Dai Da Ji to achieve her new dream of working in film and starting a new company? Zhou…
THIS. That's why I say FL's plot armor was too strong. It just didn't make sense at all. Like how come she got to make the movie in the end when it had been Zhou Shui's dream all along? He was working hard to make it happen as well, but she didn't like the way he went about it, so she beat him to it.
As a chinese film producer who's also an immigrant of a big city, I found the struggles of the main leads somewhat…
The problem wasn't the lack of cultural understanding, in my opinion. I think everyone understands the struggles. It's the traditional views and unreasonable mindset of the characters that viewers find toxic, hence the negative reviews.
Also, am I the only one who's glad it had a BE??? HAhahahaah. I HATED for them to get back together coz FL was toxic as heck.
Also still feeling mad that Zhou Shui didn't get to film his movie in the end, and it was Da Ji who did it. I hated that the 5 ranger team turned their backs on him just because he made a selfish choice. As if they hadn't themselves???? Zhou Shui didn't even turn his back on them when they gave up on their dreams and left back then.
It's just so unfair, tbh. Zhou Shui definitely deserved a much better, happier, and guilty-free ending!!! I don't get why Da Ji still demands an apology from him. In my opinion, Zhou Shui never betrayed her. He agreed to do the movie so that he could hopefully gain more authority to film what he wanted, the way he wanted. Zhou Shui always made her his priority and chose her over his dreams. And it was just this one time, he decided to choose for himself, and she was mad.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks the writer screwed up so badly with the characters and that the FL was problematic. I thought I was being biased towards the ML, but the FL's logic just got more and more twisted, I had to second-guess myself every episode. Honestly, I only watched until the end for Wang Anyu's acting.
If you're looking for a mature storyline in a xianxia, this is definitely it. And I mean like, mature thinking, characters, and plot. Not one that's filled with impulsive decisions and young blood. The cast also has solid acting. ML is a little gray, while the FL is such a bad*ss!!!! Kind, but also wise. At first I thought she was too much of a saint and would be naive and gullible. She may be very empathetic but boy can she seriously kick*ss and doesn't put up with bs. She's also really smart and observant! Definitely one of my favorite FLs of all time. Loved the ML's cunningness too. Both leading actors carried their roles so well. It's a slowpaced xianxia, but definitely filled with layers. It's far from boring to me and I enjoyed every episode so much.
This was one of my first few kdramas, and I liked how FL was so relatable while ML was not the typical male lead you'd expect. He was such a gray character and I was so looking forward to knowing more about his background and see his character growth along with the FL's. But the production team did PHJ and his role so dirty.
