Zhong Chunji is definitely interested in him, but he isn't. Hope they don't keep showing her as so thirsty. I…
I get that you are upset that there is another female contender for the love interest position in this non-romance drama but your word are insanely hateful.
We have literally scene Zhong Chunji's nightmare childhood where she was sold off as a child ghost bride then homeless and destitute wandering around in a nearby town where older boys bullied her and adults beat her. Her goal has to become a righteous heroine in the jianghu and we have seen her in the front lines saving people whenever she can. She "values reputation" because the other sword masters constantly pick on her for being from a lower class and she wants to prove that your background does not define who you are.
She is an example of a female character who is fleshed out and has her own motives. She is fighting to make a name for herself and prove that justice is not defined by the wealthy and the powerful. It doesn't matter if she is a love interest in the end or not, she has her own thing going on regardless.
Looks like love line with Zhong Chunji is starting!
Usually I’m not a fan of harem stories to make MC look good but it’s not as bad as other harem shows since TLC is charming to everyone whether they are man, woman or animal friends lol
I think its going to take sometimes for that to happen. They wont kill him off that fast🤣
Liu Yan along with Fang Zhou are the two most important people to Tang Lici and his entire story is based on him moving on and trying to fix what happened 4 years ago. Yes, there seems to be a bigger plot going on behind him and we need to find out his origins but the drama has hinted that all of that is connected to his relationships with Fang Zhou and Liu Yan. Gu Mudan is clearly involved in their story in way we haven't found out yet.
Despite the large ensemble cast, this drama has not given me the indication that each character gets an arc nor that the story itself is broken up into arcs and cases. There are "arcs" as in different locations and objectives for them to complete but the same core players have been involved every step of the way. And the objective has always been to go after Fengliu Shop. Even if there are new characters yet to be introduced they are minor characters that pertain to the objectives/missions. That's why you can see a lot of the cast are guest roles and in fact, many of the previous supporting cast were originally guest roles when this page was first put up.
Voice dubbing is normal practice in Cdramas. Due to many reasons: actors having strong accents, scheduling conflict…
If you are interested in some high-budget productions with mix of onset voices and actors dubbing themselves, check out works by Daylight Entertainment. Two of their famous historical works are Nirvana in Fire 1 & 2 (independent stories from each other) and Story of Minglan.
Luo Yunxi posted on weibo about the Zhoudi Tower memories writing from Tang Lici’s perspective as he spent his days with his brothers along with an artwork of them back then. Fang Zhou giving lessons to the kids, Liu Yan siting beside Tang Lici dozing off, Xiao Fu cooking with a kitten nearby looking for scraps. He described it as days “softly traced in the heart” and a past they could never return to 💔
Can someone tell me if there's a reason why only one episode is being released per day?
they will go back to 2 episodes per day tomorrow. they switched to 1 per day because this drama is also being broadcast on tv but the broadcast started later so they slowed down online releases to let the tv platform catch up.
Bashing female characters has become the forbidden fruit BL fans enjoy and must have every day, isn’t it?Bashing…
that user keeps bringing in “BL fans” as if itd a dirty word. first of all, you can be a BL fan as well as a GL fan and most people i interact with like both. additionally, half the BL fandom online these days is queer or trans and it’s perfectly normal for them to look for representation. even tho chinese dramas have censorship, sometimes the subtext really speaks to people in a way overt romance does not. idk it’s giving homophobia.
“stanning men is so misogynistic but what else can you expect from stupid f*cking women” — this is what…
who am i bashing? i very much like the majority of the female characters in the show but dislike the writing choices for one. i have repeatedly said i am open to my mind changing if the writing improves. compared to that i am not sitting here calling real people ugly b*tches, sexists and misogynists. i genuinely feel sorry for you and your ilk. it’s impossible to have a conversation with people who not only demonstrate poor intellect but also the inability to even engage in meaningful conversation. i won’t be giving you the time of day as you have a poor reputation on this page already and there’s no reason to waste my time.
I've started Whispers Of Fate and am on ep3 but I'm not enjoying this. Will it continue to be like this or will…
personally it didn’t get good for me till episode 5 but you shouldn’t force yourself. for me i liked the beginning still it just got better and more focused after 5 episodes is all.
She feels so useless, because she as a character has no goals and needs other than Tang Lici... not a very good…
Thank you for this. I agree, her character only exists secondary to TLC. If you take him away, she doesn't exist. This may be a narrative choice to slowly give us information on her but as of 1/3 of the way through the drama her screentime has been much higher than what we actually know about her as an individual.
This is a huge pet peeve of mine when writing female characters. Zhong Chunji, we got a backstory for her. She exists and has a story outside of TLC. If you take TLC away, her backstory and the themes they provide for the audience still exist.
Similarly, Chi Yun and Shen Langhun are just TLC's followers. But they have pasts and desires outside of TLC. They have whole wives and ex-fiancees even! If you take TLC away they will continue doing what they were doing originally before they met him.
She's been plenty useful with her wits and even helping with TLC and CY's relationship. She's suspicious for me,…
Do you know them personally? I find Ah Shui's writing boring and lame at the moment and it has nothing to do with her being in the way. Her "usefulness" is overblown and a lot of what she does is errand running while TLC makes the real plans. She would be much more interesting to me if we saw scenes of her doing things on her own (with her own agenda, not just listening to orders) and got a glimpse into her thought process outside of thinking of TLC. However, I am open to her role improving in the story and like the potential spy theories. I anticipate we will get a backstory for her later as well.
Yes, a lot of people dislike female characters who "get in the way" but it can also be true that the writing isn't good either. There's nuance to everything. I like BL and bromance but have watched bromance dramas where the males pair up with women and enjoyed both relationships. It depends on how they contribute for me and in this case she's not doing it for me.
