Finally... SGQ is going to live in GSJ's residence and YWS in GZY's. Things will get more interesting.
My biggest dislike about this drama right now is GZY. I'm really hoping he undergoes some MAJOR character development. He is so frustrating and such a simp for YWS like- you're the Sword Wielder now! Can you please be more mature and not let love blind you? It should've been GSJ smh. Gong Residence, how are y'all gonna let this guy ru(i)n your place. I wouldn't be surprised if he sacrificed Gong Residence just for YWS.
(And why do I get the vibe that GYZ is going to be killed off later? Because I swear to god, every time there's a wholesome sibling/friend relationship, one of them dies🥲 Please don't spoil me on this. I need to see for myself if this prediction will come true.)
Overall, this drama is okay so far. Just that there's a lot of slow, boring talk about politics and whatnot so I watch on 1.1 - 1.6x speed. I love the scenes with SGQ the most... and yes that's me being biased lmao.
Every man in this drama is a jerk...even the best of men cheated on their partners but were shown as innocent…
That's what I'm saying! The men in this drama are absolute garbage!
Look at Ae/Sawit and Tor/Sila's dad. Man had a mistress and a child with her then DIPPED. Left a bloody mess for others to clean up. But hey! He poppped back up out of nowhere and acted like a justice-seeking hero so he's redeemed now, only because he's supporting our ML of course. What about your wife Sida and son Ae? Did you ever care about them?
And I couldn't wrap around my head that Min's dad cheated. His character is so sweet that I'd sometimes forget and can't believe he even did that. Even the seemingly genuinely nice male characters turned out to be rotten. 😒
Is there a chance of season2 airing in February? Hope so but part 2 maybe come in summer I think.😐
There is a chance. It's just very slim. And by very slim I mean like a 1 in 100000 chance. (T＿T)
February is our hope and wishful thinking but I have a feeling that summer will be the actual date, since the law says you can't release a part 2 until a year after its release.
1. Driving in a storm so they can be together when both of them were already safe…2. Taking her to the doctors’s…
Heavy on the doctor one omfg. I was like bro... is that even allowed, to let your girlfriend or literally anyone except staff to sleep on those beds? This is not a hotel or daycare, it's a hospital! Go sleep at your own house?? There were like 4 beds in there. Imagine a tired staff came in to sleep and saw the FL aka random stranger who's definitely not an employee just casually sleeping there. In real life, Dr Mo would've likely been fired.
Also agree that ML comes off as a try hard. You don't need to do absolutely everything and potentially hurt yourself (like driving in the rain) just to be seen as a gentleman and the perfect green flag boyfriend. Then, it doesn't help that the FL does practically nothing for the ML in return, except being his girlfriend. I really wished their give and take dynamic was more equal.
Well, in the end, this drama is either your cup of tea or not.... but even if you like it, you can't deny that the meant-to-be-cute-and-sweet aspects are overdone. Some people are able to turn off their brains while watching. Unfortunately I'm not one of them 🥲
Okay I watched ep 3 and wow... you really can't trust anybody here. YWS and SGQ are extremely manipulative and clever. Of course, they're from the Wufeng sect.
It’s actually interesting maybe try again when the subs is better. I watch the first episodes on YouTube Kukan…
If it's Yang Zi, I'll definitely try again haha. And kisskh is my drama heaven so I'm willing to suffer there 🤣 But I'll check out Kukan as you said. Thanks for your suggestions!
@nathsketch I figured lmao. But for Xiang Liu, I don't think a 9567584763783936356838494761005 is exaggerating at all 🤣 (Also... I see what you did there with those last 4 numbers hmm)
I love Yang Zi so I tried to give this a shot, even though I don't typically watch modern dramas nowadays. Welp..... guess who got bored within the first 10 minutes LOL.
If it was just a movie, then I'd be able to endure it. But 32 episodes of this vibe? Maybe I'll try again when I chance upon an interesting clip and the Eng subs are more accurate. (I watched it on kisskh, for those looking for a decent translation).
In the meantime, I'm going back to my historical dramas. Also waiting for Lost You Forever S2, Flourished Peony, and the Golden Hairpin!
Finally watching after putting it on hold for so long cuz I was (still am lmao) too obsessed with Lost You Forever.
Only watched 2 eps so far but I can already tell Shangguan Qian will be my favorite after seeing her put on a crying act when Yun Wei Shan almost made all hell break loose. My girl sly as hell and I love it lol. These type of characters make the show more interesting. If YWS wants to manipulate people into thinking she's innocent, then she needs to learn from SGQ!
Also, the costumes and cinematography are immaculate. I especially love Gong Ziyu/Zhang Linghe's and Gong Yuanzhi/Tian Jia Rui's styling. They look so finee.
The ratings went up, yay! 8.6 --> 8.7 Well deserved for our amazing LYF cast. (To whoever brought the rating down back to 8.6, sleep with one eye open. Y'all have no tasteee)
Given that, according to Wikipedia, "Chinese Paladin 2 was not filmed because the producers felt that the third game had a much stronger story than the second."

In case you didn't know, the Chinese Paladin dramas are based off the game franchise The Legend of Sword and Fairy (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Sword_and_Fairy), so the characters and plot aren't (entirely) original works.
Given that, according to Wikipedia, "Chinese Paladin 2 was not filmed because the producers felt that the third game had a much stronger story than the second."
