Just finished ep 9 and here is my thread for thoughts
I know the acting is not the best, but they're trying! The ML is really good but the FL feels more forced than the rest. It's kinda awkward but for the sake of the story and how far I've come with the time spent watching it, I won't drop it for now. It's actually funny cuz this is my filler drama for something I'm watching but now I need a filler for this too.
Just finished ep 9 and here is my thread for thoughts
I actually like this drama since it's a mix of modern and historical. The ML and FL have nice chemistry. I like that the ML is manly. By ep 9, we get a new character into the mix which is 2ML Murong Yu. He is very sheming, sly and mistrusting. Luckily, he turned a new leaf and was forgiven. Now, I'm gonna be seeing how a 3rd emperor impacts the dynamics of our leads
Queen Lusi currently has 21 dramas as of January 16, 2024! I have only watched 4 of them. She is really a workaholic. I applaud her but please take rests if you need!
I feel your pain. It took me months to go from episode 26 to 31. I'm now stuck at episode 32. I don't know how…
Right!!! I CANNOT with XL AHHH. Now, I'm looking through the gallery of their fanarts posted on the threads. I am hoping to see him in red as the groom in the traditional wedding. I really really hope season 2 makes him the ML but it seems like FL is too in love with Jing at this point.
I am on episode 33 out of 39 and sadly, I'm pausing this for now until Season 2 starts airing. I really like all the actors' talents but the ML's seem to fall short in comparison to the range the FL delivered. Especially in EP 15 when FL had THAT scene. YangZi deserves to bag an award for that! But Jing, oh my Ye ShiQi, you are too "soft." XY x TSJ is a cute lovey dovey pairing but the chemistry isn't as fierce as XY x XL. I think there isn't anything wrong with taking a pause at this. I have been watching for about a month now and really trying to savor the efforts poured out into this work. But I don't think I could hold on much longer knowing full well that my XL will suffer grievances and sacrifice sooo much for XY not to know. Idk why I've grown attached. I think I need a new hobby. Or watch a different Tan Jianci drama where he is the main lead and has a happy ending. I do know of 1 but it's a modern drama. But I only really like xianxia/wuxia/historicals. ://
I bet they never give him the ml role because he doesn't have the "korean look", knowing how South Korea is like.
I know some Korean actors have starred in Chinese dramas before like Yoona of SNSD/Girls Gen. But her drama never saw the light of day cuz of China/SKor tensions. I think LSH would look absolutely DIVINE if he were casted in a Chinese xianxia. I just finished the Starry Love and I'm imagining him as the ML Shaodian Youqin~~<3
I KNOW they look good together. I am not complaining about their visuals but their script and the plot of WoACN. It was endorsed as romance but it started shifting its focus on crime-fighting and mystery cases. I was even hoping for longing glances with eye-contact but no siree. I am just saying I hope this reunion drama gets more romantic scenes.
He is the same ML of Li Yi Tong in Warm in A Cold Night. He plays a werewolf prince. I think they didn't have a proper lovey lovey plot there and his costume did not shout 'royalty' as he is trying to hide his identity. I dropped it because it got a little too draggy for me. But in case this pairing is finalized, I am excited to see them give it another shot. Hopefully, they get a better romantic script.
Read some spoilers in the comment section so basically: FL marries her brother-in-law...just wow. The real Sang Yu (First Wife, No.1 She-Devil of the Capital) apparently died in that cliff scene from the get-go. The newly found Sang Yu with amnesia is her twin.
They are separated at birth and their REAL father is the killer of ML's father. I was honestly enjoying this by ep 7 then I read the spoilers. It seems that it could have a lot of potential but it's starting to look draggy given that their wedding is gonna be in the LAST episode.
This is tagged as xianxia but I don't see any superpowers or love that spans lifetimes/reincarnation at all. I feel soooo bad for the OG Sang Yu that just dies like that. And ofc the writers had to pull off the FL knew ML before OG Sangyu and it was love at first sight but she gets amnesia so it's okay since OG Sangyu dies and they can go their merry way.
I came here because it was a recommendation from the Starry Love, I really liked that drama and it was easy to watch, But my man Ryan Ding, I hadn't seen any of his works since Romance of Tiger and Rose in 2020. And so I thought I might give this a shot. It's a pity I really liked this couple's visuals but an admirer of beauty alone cannot carry a story. The plot looks too meh for me. But I don't discourage you, we just have different tastes and expectations so I'm dropping this one. Happy viewing though~! :>
He is soooo handsome in The Starry Love albeit playing the villain supporting role. His visual left a lasting impression. I hope to see him in more projects in the future as a ML who can make my heart skip in a xianxia/wuzxia/historical cdrama.
Did we all watch the same thing? I came here for the romance and it wasn't really much. It felt like a footer at the end of a book. The genre is fantasy + outbreak (but it's not zombies at all!). At first it was like Cinderella then they started having an outbreak then the weak FL turns out to be powerful. They didn't really focus on the romance. What I thought was the 2ML turned out to her her cousin and yet, he wanted to marry her. I'm just like (o_O) *bombastic side eye.* For someone who didn't read the manga, this shouldn't have been advertised as romance.
