this dráma IS fór my 7/10 maybe i must watch more EPisodes but this dráma don't give me buterfly in my stomach...than…
Technically, Jeremy is not SML. There's no true SML. In the book, they are both ML. Jeremy's character is even more prominent in the book. The story revolves around him and his ambitions. Wei Zhao (Allen Ren's) character doesn't show up until much later.
But I guess they changed some things for the show. So, to me, while watching, I see them both as MLs.
But this character truly suits Jeremy. I am loving the way he is bringing the character to life!
I have been taking my time slowly watching this show, and I gotta say, I am enjoying it so far.
My only issue is that the dubber's voice doesn't match Jeremy Tsui character and demeanor. It also doesn't match Jeremy as an actor. I wish, wish he wasn't dubbed, so he can truly bring this character to life with his own voice. Right now, just his acting alone has done so much to bring the character to life. Imagine if it was his voice?? Uggghhh... I guess we can't get everything...
Anyways, I'm enjoying the characters and their journey. So far everyone and their story is interesting. Even the emperor and Pei Yan's mother. I would like to see how that relationship plays out later on.
I don’t think his violence toward her is being “romanticized”; it’s pretty clearly NOT why she falls in…
Just to point out, this show is not really an "enemies to lovers plot" An enemies to lovers plot is where the relationship is equal on some level and each can retaliate against the other on a major scale. Where there is intense rivalry between the "couple" and they can balance out the rivalry because they are equal.
This is a show about a victim and perpetrator. They are NOT on equal level. The victim will end up falling in love with the perpetrator. It's a common romantic plot, but it's not an enemies to lovers one.
Anyways, I'm not here for the romace, just here to enjoy the ride of each character. Just wanted to point out the misconception of the enemies to lovers trope cause I see it thrown around here a lot lately.
Landy Li has been on a roll recently, let me tell you something. It's not easy to hold your own in front of acting…
About your side note: I COMPLETELY AGREE!!! Jeremy is playing his villain role so well that even though we know he's wrong, we sympathize with him and understand him on some level.
He brings a human touch to the character that nutsack wasn't able to bring to his. Even though they gave nutsack all romantic scenes with FL, he still wasn't able to capture the audience heart because the role wasn't brought to life properly.
But Jeremy is able to make us connect with his character, and make us anticipate the character's next move. He's really an amazing actor!!
She really has a way with words, and those touches and consoles Pei Yan, our guy has fallen and not knowing;)
Girl go away. Let people enjoy their ship in peace.
You are up and down this thread just providing spoilers upon spoilers to people UNPROVOKED and unwanted. Anytime someone dares to say they like the SML you swoop in and tell them why they are wrong for that.
Take a deep breath babe. Take a rest. Leave people alone.
Don't scroll down someone spoiled the whole story in a long unmarked spoiler. I blocked them so I can't tell if…
That was such a d*ck move by that person. Lol pissing me off real bad cause I feel like it's intentional. Like the show just started not even a day ago, and they already posted a long azz spoiler with no spoiler tag.
You are truly a crazy person to sit down and type out a long azz spoiler for a show that just started a day ago, and not put the spoiler tag. Hope you get banned.🙄
but I saw they find the plot boring 😴 I was like seriously why they always want to drag the drama here me I…
Yep, I hate when production houses don't promote their upcoming shows. Youku is notorious for this. They just drop a show with no promotion and go about their day, hoping for the best😂
Before this show premired, I really saw no promotion on social media except by a melon page. I only knew about this show cause I had most of Jeremy Tsui shows on my watchlist. 😢
but I saw they find the plot boring 😴 I was like seriously why they always want to drag the drama here me I…
Lol don't even get me started on UTP. Every time they are on that damn boat and fake water I roll my eyes😂😂
But that drama is also my comfort show. I've rewatched it like 5 times already😭
It was in that drama that I first discovered Seven Tan. (In 2021). And I went on a watching spree of her shows. She has become one of my favorite actress. My favorite show of hers is TSATB( lol though a lot of people can't stand that the ML have many concubines) I loved it all. I love mess like that😂
At this point, it's hard to tell who's the ML in this drama. 2ML has all the romantic scenes with the FL and seems…
Apparently in the novel, there's really no real ML. Both of them are MLs.
In the novel, the story revolves around Pei Yan. It's not until much later that Wei Zhao is more in the story.
But for drama sake, they have changed things around to make Wei Zhao ML, but kept some of the essence of the novel. That's probably why you are feeling like there's no real ML. There's not supposed to be one.
I am excited about it. I can't wait to see Pei Yan and Wei Zhao one up eachother!
Ok I am trying this show because both main male leads are too good actors but please tell is this show has happy…
This show just started TODAY. You should watch it with the rest of us to know whether it happy ending or not. I don't think anyone can predict that just yet.
Maybe novel readers, but then again, dramas change from novels all the time
but I saw they find the plot boring 😴 I was like seriously why they always want to drag the drama here me I…
That sucks, if people are hating on the drama just cause they don't like the actors.
Me personally, though I have valid criticism of the drama, I'm still watching and not judging too much yet cause I know most dramas need at least 15 episodes to settle in. That's why I usually don't rate dramas until I've seen at least 15 episodes. (I believe that's fair).
Anways, though I love RJL and watch most of his shows, I can't seem to get into his character just yet. I understand his character's motive (the little bit that has been revealed), but at the same time I don't understand. His actions so far are not making sense to me. Lol that's why I'm waiting before reviewing. I'm sure by the end of it everything will make sense.
Oh and the color grading of this show sucks. It looks dull and drab and a little pale😭
I have been thinking the same thing. Based on what happened in ep 1, I don't know how they are going to pull off…
I was thinking the same thing but scared to voice it, lest his fans come at my neck🫣
Don't get me wrong, I like RJL and always try to watch his shows cause I know the acting will be good. But I just don't think a "grey" type character that makes the audience fall in love with him, suits him. You are absolutely right about the charisma. I'm just not seeing it. Everything is just giving bad guy and bad guy only. Nothing else...
But this is reminding me of the recently aired AYTO where the ML acted out his character so well, we all forgot that he was actually the bad guy in the beginning. He actually had bad intentions towards the FL (planned to kill her and discard her, used her to lure enemies.). Lol ZWY played that grey character so well with so much charisma(from ep 1) that he had viewers supporting, and forgetting his actions 😂
