Girl, go ahead and say how you feel. Don't let them scare you. As long as you are not saying anything hateful towards the actors themselves, then don't be scared of these online bullies.
Shows are meant to be enjoyed and critiqued. They are meant to be dissected and discussed. At the end of the day, it's art. Some might like it, some might hate it. That's just the nature of it.
These people need to stop their parasocial relationships with actors and just let these actors do their jobs in peace

"This was too heavy tone with no pay off for all the angst"
You said it right. I think this has been my issue with the drama and why it just left a bitter taste in my mouth overall. All these suffering the characters went through and (and us audience) only for there to be no payoff at the end. Lol
The first arc is really the best and most enjoyable!
I agree with some people saying that this didn't have a good closure. Even though it's pretty obvious that YZJ…
Yea, unfortunately, many good dramas falls victim to "wasted time" and bad editing during production. They could have cut down a lot of unnecessary things and made the story tighter (I also wanted to know everything you mentioned) but they chose otherwise. It was a very unsatisfying ending to me.
Lol I think sometimes cdrama directors and producers forget that they have to stay within 40 episodes limit. The previous formaulas of old shows (misunderstandings, letting the story drag in the middle, unnecessary side plots, etc) doesn't work anymore with these censorship constraints. Well, unless they are having 2 seasons like LYF...
It will be interesting to see how cdrama writers adjust their storytelling techniques to these new censorships. I guess we are about to enter a new era.
Overall, the story was okay. I will always cherish (and rewatch) the first 16 episodes. Those episodes have my heart forever. The rest is neither here or there...
I get that fans are very sensitive because Lusi is getting alot of hate but please stop being mean to every account…
This exactly!!! I was just about to post something like this!!! Honestly speaking, this drama page has been the least fun page and very exhausting. Both from haters and fans...
One of my favorite thing to do is to come on MDL and read comments and debate the show/talk about actors acting or anything regarding the show. But it feels very different here because I've seen how everyone jump and bully anyone who dares not to like the show or the acting. I understand people are sensitive but as long as it's not blatant hate (I do see those hateful accounts, those don't count) people shouldn't be jumping down and bullying others for their opinion.
I have watched shows with other Fandoms before(I'm not in any "fandom" I just like what I like) but damn this is on another level... I guess you could say I'm a passerby (I'm a fan of both actors, will always watch their shows, but I'm not in the "fandom"). Lol even I can't handle the reactions and find them exhausting, imagine how new watchers feel..💀
I hope we can all allow eachother to just enjoy or not enjoy the show❤️
I have a question for you. I would like to please understand your thoughts:You said the last ten episodes has…
Okay. That makes sense. The plot did veer off a little bit from what was established. But it needed to be done for transformation purposes.
But I do see how that could be a turn off for people because they did kill all well established characters that viewers already fell in love with to make way for new characters. I can see that being a turn off. Right now she's in her business phase and there's less romance so I can see how that could be a turn off for some viewers. But since you are still watching, it means you are atleast enjoying some things?
Anyways I have no dog in this fight. I just wanted to understand your thinking. I think there might have been a misunderstanding between you and the others because everyone is a bit sensitive right now...
I love Lu Si and Yuning loved them since long ballad. But this wasn’t the comeback I was expecting from them…
I have a question for you. I would like to please understand your thoughts:
You said the last ten episodes has been boring. (Which is understandable cause everyone's taste is different). There are 31 episodes out right now. That means you found the first 21 episodes alright. (Maybe even liked them?) If that's the case, may I ask, why did you rate the show 1? Objectively speaking, what is so bad about this show that it only deserves a 1 star rating?
Is it a sad ending, yes. (that could be subjective) But a bad ending? ABSOLUTELY NOT. The ending makes a lot of…
I understand. But Bai Jiu's death was expected. (I can give you spoiler if you want?) You are only on ep 4 right? please keep watching. It will make sense to you. The story comes together nicely.
Lol the writer/ director didn't just go on a killing spree. Every death had meaning and was meant to happen.
Every one that died didn't die in vain. It was the natural outcome of things.
What a pity! I was planning to watch it n even started to watch today n after watching 4 episodes came here to…
Is it a sad ending, yes. (that could be subjective) But a bad ending? ABSOLUTELY NOT.
The ending makes a lot of sense and it was foreshadowed since ep 1. Everything that transpired in this show led us to that ending. No other outcome would have made sense. The ending was well done.
You should continue watching it. The journey is beautiful!
Question for yall: Does anyone know how to request for MDL add a new show to its list???
After catching up with Pearl, I was roaming around Youku's library and discovered a new mini drama "When Fate Plays Matchmaker," but I can't seem to find it on here on MDL?? 😭
WHY DO MC ALWAYS HAVE PROBLEMS EXPLAINING THINGS?!!! when they're dying, the first thing in their mind is to let…
Lol cdrama land logic🤭🤭😭
It's always, always better for their beloved to feel betrayed and sad over lies, than to feel sad over death🫠🫠 Such unsound logic is littered in cdramas...
Lol cdrama writers thinks this makes perfect sense. And it's what the people want😂😭
is this or was this originally a BL.. i mean.. hmm.. FL is hardly given an arc of one true great love...
Lol I said this since the beginning...To me, it felt like the writer and director wanted to tell one story, but censorship is making them tell another. Though, it seems they kept the essence of their original story that's why we still get the sense of BL.
It doesn't matter how you look at it, this is a story between ZYZ and ZYC. It's crafted around them. That's why their tension is always palpable. WX it seems is just there... Even though she's ZYZ soulmate, the writers didn't really explore that in any meaningful way.
ep 28 preview… that little mountain god and bai ju can take a flying leap for all I care. they’ve both been…
"Until tomorrow, I don't like them anymore" This just made me burst out laughing so hard 😂😂😭
But you are right. I hate how these "friends" treat ZYZ most of the time... Their treatment (it might not be intentional) is always very callous. They are always QUICK to forgive eachothers (humans) mistakes except when it comes to ZYZ.
As for Bai Jiu, I stopped liking his character since he never apologized to ZYZ for what he did. That's when I realized everyone in this friend group is just a hypocrite. They forgave him so fast and never even get him to apologize to ZYZ. WX is no better. Like that's supposed to be her soulmate but she always just stands there and let the others bully him🫠 Poor ZYZ he just takes all their treatment bcs he's lonely and want to belong 😭
No offense to all the people that likes that little boy, but he could d*e for all I care. ZYZ DOES NOT NEED TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF FOR HIM. He's NOT worth it.
At least now ZYC is understanding a little bit. But only because now he can put himself in ZYZ place.
This is driving me crazy, I have to ask if it's just me or.... Yu Ning is wearing invisalign, right? I was in…
Are you saying his character in AJTL wasn't bad azz enough?? Lol you saying THE NING YUAN ZHOU (head of a killing squad) wasn't bad azz enough?? And that he was overacting???😭😭
Lol it's actually the opposite for me here. I'm not quite vibing with YZJ. The character is okay, but he's not charismatic enough for me. It's just something missing from his character that I can't seem to connect.
Re: invisalign: possibly? Are those allowed while filming? what about his way of talking made you notice?👀

I love that show so much. It has now become my comfort show. But most people on MDL hates it because of the whole concubine system😭😭
