I know she is meant to prove she can stand on her own two feet but I don't think YZJ sticking around and them…
Lol the other day on Twitter, someone asked something like, "Whatβs a common type of episode plotline that piss you off" (lol they were asking about regular western shows) But I immediately thought of the "noble idiocy" trope that many cdramas are fond of...
Unfortunately, many good shows have fallen victim to it. This trope needs to die. My biggest dream is to wake up one day and hear that the "noble idiocy" trope has been banned from cdramas. π€
Lol China is good at censorsoring everything we want to watch anyway, they might as well include this trope in there. It will be the only time I don't complain ππ
He rarely ever told her anything until he had no choice because she would figure it out (e.g. the story about…
I liked reading this. You summed it up perfectly.
When you put it like this, it feels a little less like the annoying noble idiocy trope. (I still think there's a mixture of that) And more like their characters personalities just staying in line with who they are. From day one YZJ has been secretive and holding things close to his chest. So it does kinda make sense that he wouldn't just change overnight just cause he's in love. I don't like the angst, but unfortunately, it's needed for their characters to reinvent themselves
Lol I also agree that it was the honeymoon phase that got us fooled and we forgot who we were dealing with.ππ
Just finished EP20 and idk but it felt a little off, kind too fast? ZiQi saw Miao Miaoβs letter, he come back…
THAT'S MY PROBLEM TOO!!! Lol.
The bracelet arc was already annoying....So I was looking forward to a good end of the arc...But the clixam just felt so flat. How come they are not talking about what happened? How come everyone is just acting like it was just a normal Tuesday?? Aaarrrgghhh
Lol I think as I'm getting older I just can't do angsty anymore for an ongoing drama. My poor nerves just can't handle it anymore ππ
I had stopped at episode 16( lol I still watch every trailer, edits, read every comments because I just can't help hurting my own feelings π) I knew the sweetness was too much for cdrama writers. Lol they can never let us have anything...π
I will be back to watching at ep 25 when, hopefully, we have passed all these angsty stage and my girl has reinvented herself.
Ahh, this is the first time Iβve felt so torn while watching a drama. I'm absolutely obsessed with and in love…
I agree with you and everyone that has commented under your post so far. I really enjoy watching this show. But something is missing for me...
I think for me, maybe it's fact that it can get very anticlimactic with reveals sometimes?? Or maybe because I feel like other than ZYZ, none of the other characters (main characters) are held accountable for their actions??... I don't know... I think it all started breaking apart for me at around ep 17
I think someone articulated it better in one of the comments under this: the director is trying to please everyone at once, so characters are being left undeveloped.
Maybe I'm being too dramaticπ I don't know. I will keep watching to see how it all plays out.
I have nothing against Wang Xing Yue, in fact, I like when he has been the SML for Bai Lu. But I really don't…
I completely agree with you. I just came across an article about Bai Lu being used (for this show) as a vehicle for WXY career. To help him cement his career as a top leading man following the success of The Double. If it's true, then that's not cool...
Anyway, everything I have learned about WXY (involuntarily) has made me side eyed him...
He first caught my attention from SOT and I was excited for his acting career. But I started side eyeing him when SKOP came out and read that he was the one who "slipped" (willfully) and made a comment about ZLH going on a "date" with Bai Lu and hiring paparazzi to film them. Turns out it wasn't just a dinner between the two, but with everyone on the cast. But he made it seemed that way. After his comment, ZLH started getting so much hate from Bai Lu fans...
Then during The Double, it came out that he had mentioned how he was bullied during his school days... It created a big pity party and support for him online. While it might be true, I still found it sus that it came out at that time... And then the whole thing that happened with his team during The Double (his team posted an unauthorized picture of The Double online) Yu Zheng got so angry that he had said he will fire his team)
Now this... Anyways, I'm trying my hardest not to believe any of this... But...just too many coincidences around him involving other actors, that is getting too hard to ignore... I really think he's a great actor. I just hope he's not resorting to these petty tricks to rise upπ«
which sub is more accurate Netflix vs viki? I prefer Netflix for the quality and sound but if Viki sub is better…
I don't know about this show in particular, But, Viki Subs is always superior. When it comes to translations for any shows, Viki is even better than the big 3 (iQIYI, Tencent, Youku)
Day 4 The never ending saga...Instead of asking repeatedly in the comments about love triangle the answer is yes.…
Lol please add one more thing to this list. I've seen it a lotπ
Them: I just started watching and I'm on ep 1, why is such and such happening??? CONTINUE WATCHING!!! Your questions might be answered the next episode or the very next scene.ππ
I feel like people need to at least have some patience and watch the first 10 episodes of a show (minimum) so they can grasp the story better. π
Can anyone tell me if the love triangle annoying? Is this like 'Love like the galaxy' I am asking because I dropped…
No, it's not like LLTG. She admires SML for his easy going nature and views, (Duan Wu spent years being a slave, fighting for her life, so to her the SML is pure) but she is not attracted to him. She has told him many times that they do not belong in the same world.
She practically lives with ML because she's a worker on his ship. So they have A LOT of interactions. Most of the time SML is not present, as he's not on the ship. They only run into him when they are on land.
The relationship between the ML and FL is nicely developed as the story progress.
Ok I'm tired of pretending What the hell is mr 2nd lead investigating π
This is such a funny comment ππππ
As of right now, my understanding is that he's sent by one of the prince (don't remember his name) to investigate the tribute pearl system? Cause he has suspicions...
While on this investigation, YZJ is using him as a means to take down the Cui Family. YZJ sent him clues and hints that will help take down the Cui family.
I think it was in episode 12, during a conversation with his bodyguard: his bodyguard had mentioned that they have already completed the prince's order and investigated the pearl farm, so no need to continue. But because YZJ had given SML a hint about the Cui family next business deal, he decided to go to that town. That's why they are all in the same place now...
Wheeww...that was a lot...hopefully it made sense.ππ
I've been trying to rewatch my favorite scenes from this show to calm myself down from anxiety about my country's elections tonight ππ
But it's not working. I'm too stressed out and nervous... somebody please recommend a silly show to help me keep my anxiety down while I wait for this election results π
Day 2 New info. The never ending saga...Instead of asking repeatedly in the comments about>>>Love triangle the…
Lol this is so funny, but it's a good listπ
Most of these don't bother me that much... except the ones who ask about HE when a drama just premiered (not only this drama)....two days in and you are already asking about ending??? Like are we time travellers? How are we supposed to know the ending if the drama just premiered π€
oooooo I have a BIG dislike for these group of people. Lol I don't have patience so I instantly block ππ
Did they change the schedule? I can view the episode 12 now.
Maybe because of time change in US?
I am in eastern time in US. Before time change (daylight savings ended and we gained an hr), it used to show at 12am. After time change yesterday, it now shows at 11pm.

Omg the chemistry in that whole scene is so electrifying!! It gave me butterflies. I'm over here laying in my bed, grinning like a fool, feet in the air...π€ Thanks for making my night!!!βΊοΈ
BUT... HOLD UP... WAIT A MINUTE NOW!!!
Veggie spanking??? ππ What's going on in our favorite show?? You can't just sneak that in there like that with no explanation??...ππ
Regarding Wex Xiao, I feel like she's been third wheeling since episode 1π
Unfortunately, many good shows have fallen victim to it. This trope needs to die. My biggest dream is to wake up one day and hear that the "noble idiocy" trope has been banned from cdramas. π€
