He’s one of my favorites, if not my most favorite, Chinese actor. At such a young age, he’s doing what a lot…
Yesss. So glad I'm not the only one totally living for Wu Lei. I'm so impressed by his acting and his ability to emote so strongly with just his eyes. The only other Chinese actor that I find equally as captivating, is Chen Kun (he was amazzzzing in The Rise of Phoenixes) .
Yes. It's explained that the pain he felt was the same if not more than the pain that CSS felt.
Oh, I'm not blaming him at all. I empathize with him. He's in a terrible position between having to punish LBY for his wrongdoings and feeling sorry for him because he see's LBY as his own son, and now also realizes that the man he viewed as a son is also the son of his sworn brother who died for his empire.
How is Lost in Kunlun Mountains? I heard there were a lot of editing issues for the first few episodes. Has that…
Definitely great points! Had I only given LLTG a 5-episode chance, I don't think I would have watched it because it was so slow to start. Same with The Untamed. It was way too goofy for the first few episodes. I'll give them a shot, thanks! I really love Xu Kai and Cheng Yi.
I noticed the whole subplot with the Wang family and Lord Peng Zhen occurs in Ep 33 (with the start of the battle…
I hope so too! I think we will because that is when she sees the birthmark on his ankle (when she's cleaning his wounds and washing his feet), which later proves who he is. I'm also sure we'll see that rescue because there are clips of it in the 3rd released trailer (the ambush in the woods), and it's important to the plot since we later find out about Lou Ben. He's leaving off to battle in Ep 41 and her road trip with her siblings and QiQi is alluded to in the trailer for Ep 42, so I think the ambush/rescue will be at the tail end of Ep 42, or right at the beginning of Ep 43
BOOK SPOILER /Discussion of plot line for those who've read
I noticed the whole subplot with the Wang family and Lord Peng Zhen occurs in Ep 33 (with the start of the battle with Wan Song Bai going to apprehend the Wang father/son) and in Ep 35, with Wan Song Bai returning, the court fighting over how the consequences should be divided out (and who should take the blame), the downfall of the Wang family, and CSS intervening to help Wang Ling and her mother. This was a fairly large excerpt from the novel (Chapters 124-127). In the novel, these events take place *after* all of next week's episodes (I can tell from watching up to episode 42 trailer).
I thought it was interesting. The director pretty cleanly (IMO) condensed a fairly long-winded side plot while keeping the important notes in, to push the plot along. I'm really excited about that because what happens before and after is very interesting.
The wait is killing...4 days!!!! This is why i'm yet to start Immortal Samsara and Lost in Kunlun Mountains. LLTG…
How is Lost in Kunlun Mountains? I heard there were a lot of editing issues for the first few episodes. Has that leveled out? I really like Xu Kai so I wanna give it a shot.
Its basically the boiling point for him after she's done this to him time and time again (doing things without discussing with him first, only for him to face the repercussion or clean up the mess afterward). He doesn't know how she sees him.
Yeah. He found out through the 5th princess and the 5th prince. When the 5th princess gets filth dunked on her (the revenge CSS implements), she screeches at LBY at some point, pointing out CSS did it for revenge. LBY was like, "revenge? what revenge? why did you do this to the 5th princess? what did she do?" and the 5th prince blabbers on the whole story (since he was a witness). LBY is very hurt and feels betrayed by her omission. She didn't trust him enough to tell him what happened, or to let him in on her revenge plot. Had the 5th prince not said anything, he would have never known. The conversation is fierce. "What am I to you?" kind of discussion. VERY good chapter.
Yeah, I think its more of an age thing. Dilraba is 8yrs his senior. I also heard that his first on-screen kiss was already contracted to be in his movie The Upcoming Summer (filmed the same year as TLB) but I'm not sure if that was just a rumor.
To be honest this is one of the most exciting series to come out of China for a very long time. Forget the other…
So, so true. I really do feel like LLTG is in a league of it's own. The production value, the writing, the cinematography, the music - it's all so cleanly done and I adore the source material. Very captivating ML and FL.
