Okay I just finished ep 1 and I just wanted to come here and post that I am really enjoying everything about this show so far.
Lol I never thought I would be rooting for a love story between a chicken and a man, but here I am...😂 The story is just so amazing, you wouldn't even realize it's only happening between a man and a chicken. That chicken's acting.... excuse me, I mean the almighty General who just so happens to be a fallen phoenix, but everyone thinks is a chicken... acting is just too funny😂😂 It deserves its own award.
I gotta say, the opening OST is so beautiful. It gives me Arabian vibes. Also the scene when the clouds part and the moon shone on chicken/Phoenix and it turned into Shen Li was so amazingly done. The OST brought it to life. I had to rewind like 3 times to enjoy it again.
Lol okay I'm going back to finish now. Will come back with more updates after I finish all 4 episodes!
Okay I need to get this off my chest because I don't like how some of yall are coming at Bai Cai. Infact, so far, she is one of the least annoying FL I have seen in c-drama land. All of her actions and reactions so far are in tune to who the character is. She has not deviated from that.
It's a FACT that it's A Gou (ML) who changed. I think some of you are forgetting that as viewers, we have the privilege of knowing that A Gou is infact Wu Geng. And that he has this big mission. BUT Bai Cai doesn't know this. Nobody has told/talked to her. Everyone is keeping secrets from her.
From her perspective, her and A Gou are orphans. They've raised eachother and looked out for eachother their whole lives, so of course, none of this sudden change in A Gou's attitude of wanting to save the world makes sense to her. But she's still going with it and being supportive. It's only natural that she does not want to see him get hurt.
I urge some of you to please start seeing things from the character's perspective rather than your viewers perspective. It makes for a nice watching!
I'm actually not liking the way the relationship between A Gou and Bai Cai is being played out right now. They used to be two people who communicated, made plans together, and fought together. That's why their relationship in the mine was so amazing to watch. Though it wasn't romantic, they still had a vibe and nobody could come between them.
I feel like the special relationship they had is gone. It's no longer fun to watch them on screen because A Gou is pushing her to the side, hiding things from her, and treating her like a child, instead of just being an adult and communicating.
Lol I read some comments that said she would turn bad? If so, then I 1000 percent support that. Cause who wouldn't go bad when you are being sidelinded by the one person in the world who is supposed to love and support you back unconditionally?
Girl, go bad! Cause A Gou is an ungrateful brat who's throwing away old things for new shiny things.
Lol I'm sorry, A Gou is PISSING me off right now. Maybe later I would like him again.
I wanted to try watching it, but the special effects are very bad and jarring. The whole story is interesting,…
Lol please give it a chance . The special effects gets better after episode 2.
But also, I felt the same way (even complained on here) but still gave it a chance and I'm glad I did!! 10 episodes in, and the story is really amazing so far.
Also, the cgi/special effects got better for me once I switched platforms. It sucks watching it on IQiyi
Yes, it is very sad to see this brilliant actor having to give up what he loves because of a scum agency. His…
"Maybe he should have shared a bit of his struggles and mobilized that fan power"
I AGREE with this statement so much. I think he has been too quiet about things happening to him behind the scenes. Even though fans can see some things and speculate, there was not much to be done since Jeremy wasn't complaining.
But now that he's said something, hopefully fans can come together and demand answers from his agency.
He is one actor I will be VERY SAD to see leave the industry. He has too much acting talent and screen presence for his agency to treat him like this.
I am hoping and praying something good works out for him
Have yall seen this??? Jeremy is leaving the industry.
This is so sad to see. Jeremy Tsui is actually one of the BEST Chinese actors out there. But for whatever reason, his agency always gave him bad scripts, and stuck him with trainee actors.
I really hope something good works out for him. I don't want to see his talent wasted😔
yeah the resolution can be bad or blurry on IQIYI, that annoyed me before. Until I found out that you can change…
Thanks for pointing that out. IQiyi has always been blurry for me, one of the reasons I HATE watching shows on it. The only show that wasn't so bad was Story of Kunning Palace.
Watching "love you seven times" on that platform was such a torture for me. Everything was just so blurry and covered in filter. Lol I think it's one of the reasons I still have not finished that show.
Truth be told, I had no expectations coming into this show. I just wanted to watch something to pass the time while I wait for my favorite shows to air. BUT OMG I have fallen in love with this show. It's so well told!!
I really love how the writers took their time developing the story and characters. I'm glad that they actually showed A Gou/Wu Geng actually being a slave in the mine, not just for a few months, but four years. We see how he changed from that annoying prince to this amazing leader that we can all root for. Good character!!
I really love Bai Cai. She's so adorable. Her crying scenes are always so heartfelt. I really like how the writers are taking their time revealing her identity slowly. It's fun to guess what powers she might have next!!
Lol so far, I'm looking forward to the death of that Bai State prince. Cause omg does he annoy me... Episode 8 was such a cliffhanger. I can't wait to see how it all plays out.
Lol okay yall I eat my words about the CGI being bad. I think maybe it was because of the platform I was initially watching it on (IQIYI). But once I switched to Kisskh, the cinematography became so beautiful. Not blurry and very clear. The CGI is not bad either. I think it was just IQiyi.
Lol wait, Ren Jia Lun still has that "no kissing" policy in effect? I thought it was over? Didn't he kiss in Under…
🙄 lol that excuse sounds so superficial. If he really means it, he should commit to the bit and stop doing romantic shows that requires him to kiss. Instead of going through all tbe trouble of using a kiss double. The whole thing seems a bit hypocritical 🙄
I think he's an amazing actor (the shows I've seen him in) but I also see why people are calling him out. Hope he branch out and start doing dramas that don't require him to go against his wife's wish.
Watched two episodes so far and oh my, this drama feels… tacky. The CGI looks good enough to me., so I think…
Lol your recap is too funny. "Make up looks like a reenactment troupe Sunday performance" made me LOL.
I just started watching it, (ep 1) and I might have to agree with you. The costumes, designs, and cgi are giving me a 80s bad movie vibe... I don't find it horrible yet.
I don't know about the story yet, so I'm going to keep watching to see how it plays out. I really hope I don't have to drop this!!!

The mine arc is one of the best character development arc. You will enjoy it

I think this drama doesn't show well on all platforms

I couldn't believe it either cause the synopsis sounded so interesting, I also thought it would be a long drama.
