I watch stuff I don't like all the time. MDL is for discussion about dramas, it's not a fan page. So I don't like being bullied for having a differing opinion than the popular take, and talking about it (lookin at you ABAY fans). I think people should be able to do that without being eaten alive for it.

THAT HAVING BEEN SAID. You'd HAVE to be a troll to throw a bunch of shade at this drama at this stage. I saw a one star review? Give me a break. As if this is worse than a crappy short length? I don't think so. That's not honest criticism, that's just cope and seethe.

This thing is gonna pan out to be somewhere in the 8-10 range, no matter which way you slice it.

How bout some love for Yue Yang who plays Uncle Zhao. So much fun to watch, he's great in this role.

So much fun to watch in Pursuit of Jade <3 What a great actor!

That sounds absolutely divine omg.... gutting a bird is pretty hard to do the first few times and it does get easier with practice. But yeah, bravery is required to work yourself up to being able to do it at first.

Ive never plucked a bird, but ive gutted plenty to make chicken pho. So much tastier when you do it yourself.

The statistics of chinese natives who enjoy pig tripe is about one in 3 according to chatgpt. Others either will tolerate it or actively dislike it. Stats are slightly lower for northern china, and slightly higher for sichuan, guandong and hunan.

There are always objective stats on food preferences because market research depends on it a lot for marketing and selling food.

there's no use in arguing with people so proud they take offense over minor perceived slights and invent the intentions of people they don't know to strawman them. The aggro runs deep when out of everything to take offense to in this world, it's something as minor as this. When we all enjoy the show and the actors, this is eating your own. There's no reason for it at all. Peace be with you.

yes im aware.

well that's the only part of this drama i'd leave out. Even the ML doesn't like them. it doesn't enhance the show to suddenly evoke that image or remind someone of that smell imo. K-dramas do something similar by always telling poop jokes in romances. I don't know why they do this.

Then you're one of the one-in-four or one-in-five who like it. Why take offense. I like ramen with mayonnaise on it, but i'm not gonna glaze it in a show that's clearly going to be international. If someone else doesn't like it, what's that got to do with me? I don't even know you, it's obvs not personal. I like liver too, but most people find it disgusting, and that's just a fact. I meet people all the time who like liver or who like intestines, but there's way way more people out there who have a visceral reaction of disgust to it. Why would I feature it in a romance drama.

G2G --->im still slogging through it but i can't wait to be done with it honestly

i bet u it's the ex-bf's new gf

My only extremely minor gripe about it is like dude. stop trying to sell me on pork intestines. it's a revolting food to most people, doesn't matter how sexy you try to make it look. enough with the closeup shots of it.

i'm withholding final judgement until we see how the last 10 eps play out... pearl girl, speed and love, when destiny brings the demon and a journey to love started out good too, and then they capsized at the 2/3 mark. I freakin hope like crazy this is a satisfying story all the way through. But so far i'm 10/10 on it.

when the fresh eps come in the morning when i wake up, i can't resist although i should. This is 1000% binge quality material. I'm ruining it for myself, I hate it when I do this, but it always happens when there's literally nothing else good to watch. I know i know there's a yu ning and an arthur chen drama out right now, but that modern stuff isn't really my vibe, and arthur is OKAY, and yu ning has burned me too many times before so i'm no longer excited to watch his stuff.

i'm just addicted to xie wei energy, and finally ling he has taken another BADASS ML role, I"m so excited. Every morning now is like christmas, I can't hardly sleep and I can't wait to jump out of bed in the morning.

Great review, this is all pretty much what I saw in it too except for the TTEOTM part, but I can see how you arrived at that comparison totally.

Dude LOL the robots!!!! What a cheesefest. Yu Ning in a full half inch of BB cream with that suit lookin like Elvis oh man. Good times, good times.

Deng Kai has a lot of charisma, and he's a good actor, but he needs to level up and he will be brilliant. I've been keeping an eye on him. He hasn't been to the level of acting I'd like to see him at, but he's been working hard, practicing, and I really hope this director brings out the best in him. He's worth the extra effort to support him so he can succeed, because all the ingredients are there. I hope he slays in this.

YASSSSSSSSSS damn you Ling He, this better be good! Godddd I miss ur cranky-sexy BRING IT BACK for GODsake!!! If you do "sweet ML" one more time isweartagot ^&@%(**$()&Y%*!!!!

You were a bloodthirsty drug addicted maniac who tripped his own kids, we all saw it. Stop pretending you're some sweet soft pretty boy, we all know the truth.

nobody's posted a review of this yet? hows it going, what's the vibe on this drama? I don't want to time invest unless i know something about it first... Spicy, fluffy, rom-com, etc etc?
