Truly, the novel was so good compared to the drama unfortunately. They changed the whole beautiful love story…
I felt the novel was too long and meandering at times so I'm actually happy with the way the drama was able to condense it so well. It still kept the important essence while managing to make the pacing tight and interesting.
Wait why? What is wrong with him ? How did he get sick?
He's overdoing it with the drug he's taking in order to control his ptsd, plus all the running around he's been doing, add to it all the mental drama happening around him, his body is weakened so he caught a cold.
But in MJTY he was a morally grey character; all that hanging around getting drunk in brothels wasnβt exactly…
I didn't know about him at first, so in the beginning I really admired the visuals and all that you mentioned. Then after going through MJTY and experiencing for myself all the behind the scenes drama definitely made me see him in a new light. There's already drama that happened with his new production π

This. I came cross a douyin that one of the crew members leaked of a scene when GZY says "I am the Sword Wielder" and the director made him do retakes because he didn't sound petulant enough π I doubt he expected that was the direction his character was going when he signed up for the role. I still liked him in it anyway.
I really can't accept Xie Wei's character. I know many here won't like this comment probably because he gives…
But the thing is he was right in scolding her in these situations. Sure, she's clever in making moves, but she's also reckless about it. The letter incident and this Tongzhou situation. If he hadn't silently maneuvered behind the scenes with her in consideration, who knows what might happen to her. There are big stakes here where people lose lives. It's not making everyday life decisions. And he hasn't exactly stopped her from doing anything. He's just mad at her for going about it recklessly.

And that's the main point in all this π
