yea, i enjoyed the first 10 episodes so much and thought that if they tuned down ml's assholeness in the future,…
Are you going to drop, or are you already too invested? I'll stick it out. But it looks like it's going to be more of a boilerplate plot than I thought at first, we'll see.
If you look up at the description, MDL is classifying this as a wuxia/xianxia...
Well thanks for the correction, but I'm not trying to split hairs when it comes to jumping across impossible distances and cultivating demonic immortality or whatever. TTETOM is classified by MDL as both, and LLTG as neither one. So let's just say that after watching 200 c-dramas, I still don't know the exactness of the terminology, but hopefully I still managed to communicate my point well enough that it's understandable.
This has all gotten too sicky sweet for me. Usually this is the brand of romance used in wuxia, so I'm not surprised, but with that ML face and that backstory, they could have made the love between them darker like TTEOTM. I would have preferred that. Something about their vibe together is not as hot as it could be. She should be *slightly* more innocent and coy, and he should be *slightly* more stern and dangerous.
I like this drama because the characters are sophisticated and interesting, and the microexpressions of the actors are really amazing sometimes. But in the World of Wuxia, imo this is not up to the bar that TTEOTM and LLTG set for me. ML looks awkward when he's smiling and being all nicey nice, so they should have just let him take the character all the way dark and smoky, and clearly the direction on the show wouldn't let him. So he spends way too much screentime being serene and smiling pleasantly in sky blue. It doesn't suit him. The same way being teenagerey and in puppy-love doesn't suit this actress. They should have just let her act it her way.
It's not a good sign when I just want the gooey sweet marshmallowey part to be overwith.
I'm still gonna finish it, and there's no question I'll rate it at least an 8, but at this point idk how much above an 8 it will get from me, depends on how the rest of it goes from here.
She is cross-eyed. Very irritating watching her in Dramas. And sometimes kind of scary when her eyes look in different…
I can't watch anything with her in it either. I try to like the dramas she's in, but she ruins my viewing experience with her bad acting and weird porcine looks.
I was hoping someone would notice her subpar acting 'skills'😌. She's very hammy and wooden. No believability…
Agreed... and it doesn't help that on top of everything else, she has a lazy-eye! Sometimes I wonder who actresses like these are related to that they keep getting decent roles, when their acting doesn't seem to warrant all the opportunities they get.
I am happy for those of you who like this FL that you now have something spicy and fun to watch. I just can't with her. Her acting to my mind is so terrible, she delegitimizes anything she's in. I tried an episode and couldn't hack it, just like Maid's Revenge.
Woohoo! Ep 17, they shoot at his woman with a dirty arrow, and he gets PISSED, this is badboy done right. I love how he's been mild-tempered and dressed in sky blue/white for so long that you kind of forget who he really is, and then BOOM, here comes the dark protective side, wooo that gave me the chills!!! Great scene right there.
I spent most of my time slogging through this, thinking about all the different ways it COULD have been awesome but they effed it up. This story took a lot of dark obsessive plot elements and lightened them up to the point that it felt like a Hallmark production. The makeup was atrocious. The ML had a car-salesman-hair problem. Lighting is so bright they look like they're all about to be sucked up by an alien craft.
The ML is supposed to be this dark character, but since most of his screentime is spent as FL's lapdog, we don't get a good feel for any of his badboy qualities, and when we do, they are turned into a bunch of silly business, like when ML slashes that prisoner to death in front of her, all we see is an attractive splash of pomegranate juice on ML's face, it turns into amateur hour production levels.
It is only a drama. Why do you sound like an angry and bitter little bitch? Talking about her looks, I bet she…
How cute, a litigator trying to make an argument with insults instead of reason. Personal attacks are always easier than rational dialogue, right Karen? Hard day at work or something? Holy shit, never speak to me again.
That's great, now do k-dramas. There's so many old, low budget interesting k-dramas, but new ones are starting to get formulaic and boring. Too much resources spent on big names and production values, and not enough on supporting original, risk-taking content. Not to mention for the price tag of one highly produced piece of crap, they could make three or four stories with better scripts and more inventive plotlines while supporting up and coming actors/directors, or actors who've been sidelined from leading roles due to being typecast.
I can watch ten or twelve c-dramas while waiting for ONE semi-decent k-drama to come out these days. It almost seems like projects are under too much pressure to be the next big hit and make lots of money, and their originality gets squashed because someone is trying to make the drama fit into a "proven winning formula", and it ends up not working.
idk that it's really new. Korean, Chinese and especially Thai have had abusive ML's as like a niche sub-genre…
> Maybe sometime you need to be a dick to people so that they will realise how somethings are problematic
So you think that if I'm a dick to you, you'll learn how to converse in English properly? Because your english is HIGHLY problematic.
>R@pe begins with not respecting other people ???
How are you impacting men around the world, by actively showing them RIGHT HERE, that you don't have to respect other people, and you don't have to respect their boundaries, and you don't have to be civil when you interact with people.
Be an example of the kind of behavior you'd like to see in the world, if you want to change it. The world YOU are an example of, is a world where people can treat eachother however they want, where respect for others is not important, and where "boundaries" are whatever YOU say they are at the moment. That societal norms of basic courtesy and respect do not apply to your behavior, only other people's behavior.
Do you know why you think it's okay to call strangers on MDL dummies, idiots, and rape apologists? Because you've seen plenty of other people do it on MDL to eachother. You've seen plenty of people do it online and in RL to eachother. So you think that makes it okay. You see, the behavior has been normalized to you, and now you have no qualms at all about calling people - people you don't know ANYTHING about - idiots, p3dos, and rape apologists. YOU have no civility. YOU have no boundaries. YOU have no behavioral decency. YOU are normalizing the very behavior you hate... Disrespect. Abuse. Lack of civility. Lack of empathy. Lack of boundaries.
