I'm so glad this had a happy ending or I'd be shattered! Did not expect the parallel universe theme. Now I get why it was tagged as "fantasy". Lol. It reminded me of the time travel drama that Terrance Lau did.
Also didn't get the English title at first, but when the other lady mentioned the lyric that Tian Yu wrote, I realized it was from Leslie's "A Balloon's Journey"! And imagine....if Leslie were still here and held his tour in 2023... 🥺
But it's interesting how they mentioned Leslie Cheung in this because Terrance Lau also played the role of young Leslie Cheung in the film "Anita".
Do you recommend it well? How was the ending, was it satisfying, was it a good ending, can you give me a spoiler?I…
The ending was really satisfying for me. But I'm not sure what's the definition of your "good ending", but for me it definitely was, though sad and realistic. But if you want to know whether he got his revenge...... . . . He does!!!! And he seriously didn't show any mercy, which was nice. But heads up, a lot of deaths in this show, and some are quite brutal. But the ones who got REALLY brutal deaths deserved every bit of it, so....lol.
I personally enjoyed this show a lot and couldn't stop watching it. So I ended up binge-watching the whole thing in one seating. Exciting, straight-forward, satisfying, no loose ends.
Damn his uncle just died like that…that was too easy
And they made the scene so funny! Lol definitely didn't see that coming. But I guess Chen Pang and Yu Lou would be a bigger threat compared to him. He was just all talk and could barely make any waves.
He gave her war horses which could really benefit the Qiao clan. Lolol so I can't blame him because she would've definitely liked it if she hadn't been head over heels for him already. Hahah
She is not cunning. She not wrong to be upset. Firced to accept your husband child with someone else. Your own…
I'm not saying she's wrong to be upset though. She has every right to be. The king's the worst for treating his sons and wife like that. And she is cunning to me. She can be cunning and also be justified, sort of. To me, it doesn't contradict. Her intentions to fight for what her son deserves are justified, but you can't say she's isn't cunning with the way she has been scheming things.
The king's actually just as cunning, but I call him fake because he's never treating his sons sincerely. He's just using them, mainly Jin Xiu, to get whatever power he wants.
It’s probably because everyone doesn’t know about Hongning’s connection with Baicha yet. Kunlun or Lujiu…
The thing is, even if they don't know about Bai Cha and Hong Ning colluding after the massacre, they knew Bai Cha was her friend because she asked Jin Xiu to take him in and let him stay in Cangwu. So they all knew she was friends with him. It just doesn't make sense to me that they hadn't thought about mentioning such crucial news to her. Her friend, that she brought to Cangwu, was killing her wedding guests and her Cangwu brothers, and Kun Lun saw and knew all that. He saw his brothers lock themselves in the main hall fighting Bai Cha. So regardless of what Jin Xiu thinks and knows at this point, Kun Lun should remember about Bai Cha if he remembers asking Jin Xiu to kill him.
About Muxian keeping her memories, I think he could have just assumed she didn't drink the soup to erase her memories at the bridge. Or he's just too occupied to question it yet, maybe.
It's not even the whole truth though....lolol. They forgot to mention to Hong Ning that Bai Cha was the one who…
Hahaha gosh, I'm honestly so tired of seeing him already. I just speed up the episode whenever he comes onscreen. I can't stand hearing another word from him anymore.
It's not even the whole truth though....lolol. They forgot to mention to Hong Ning that Bai Cha was the one who…
IKR! And since Kun Lun already mentioned Tai Zhen and even explained Lu Jiu's situation, and he knows Hong Ning and Bai Cha are acquainted, why did he not think to include that important information about Bai Cha too? Just for plot convenience sake so that Bai Cha could continue to control HN. Ugh. Waiting for the truth about Bai Cha's evil doings to be revealed is draining me so much. Haha
So does Kun Lun have memories of the Cangwu massacre or not? If he knows about asking Jin Xiu to free them from their pain so that they could be reborn, then why didn't he also mentioned that it was Bai Cha broke the demons free from the dungeon and attacked all her friends and family??? They were already clearing it up that Jin Xiu wasn't the one trying to kill those people. Then why not mention Bai Cha's betrayal, which was such an important fact?
The whole truth about Cangwu's been dragged on long enough to be revealed. And now only half of it is FINALLY being told. And that BC is still walking around freely like he owns the place and still trying to manipulate Hong Ning.
Also, quite disappointed that Lu Yao's character turned out to carry such little weight. She could barely accomplish anything. She argued that she had a plan to take back her kingdom, but she actually had no plan and needed to be saved by Kun Lun in the end.
I can also barely stand the emperor and empress anymore. They're such fake parents. Okay, maybe it's just the king who's fake, and the queen's rather cunning. I still suspect if Jin Xiu is really Zhong Tian's birth son. But I'm guessing he probably is, just that the mother could be a demon.
I was feeling the same way about the lack of urgency. She only has one evening and she’s strolling about reminiscing?…
Exactly! Lol. I also understand the whole poetical approach, but we didn't even see her having the slightest bit of urgency when every second of it counts, even during those thousand years. And it didn't make sense even more the second time because she only had one day/evening. She even had the mood to look at masks and get one. Maybe it was the direction of the acting in that part. She was too chill that it seemed a bit ridiculous. But yea, like you said, maybe it's just us. Hahaha.
I need the truth about the Cangwu massacre to be out already....Waiting for Bai Cha's lies to be exposed is even more frustrating than watching Hong Ning taking her sweet time looking for Jin Xiu. Like girlllllll we don't have much time, walk a little faster please??? Start looking everywhere!!
I also kinda pity the snakes. They were just loyal servants to their owner and got backstabbed by stupid BC. Ugh.
I love this short drama so much!!! Except for the ending T^T but I guess I'm in the minority thinking the ending for Pei made sense (even though I hate it!). If he didn't kill the midwife, Ning's life and position would be threatened. She hadn't built a strong support in the court yet, so having her true identity exposed would've been a great risk and many people would come for her life instead of his. He didn't want that, so he took the secret with him to his grave.
Though I think Ning also deserved knowing the truth, she obviously wouldn't have continued taking the throne if she found out. But Pei knows she'd be a better emperor than he would, and he wanted her to continue that path without feeling any guilt.
I was reaaaaally hope there would be a way to turn things around. Seeing how Ning ended up all alone really broke my heart. T^T
