No, you're not wrong. It's a hit or miss for me too. I've read the novel so know there's reciprocal love between…
I understand. I was heartbroken too. More so for his sake than hers. I replied earlier to other posters that at this point if this adaptation had a bad ending I'm fine with it. It was that crushing. However, I believe it will be a happy ending or an open ended. There are four episodes left. Let's see how the scriptwriters unravel this blood feud and get us an acceptable ending.
I might sound weird for saying this but this is not romantic. I find the female leads character unlikeable. Yes…
No, you're not wrong. It's a hit or miss for me too. I've read the novel so know there's reciprocal love between the leads. However, it's not expressed well in the drama in some places. The scenes are very similar to the novel so not sure what happen. Just a thought, I don't want to fault anyone but Shizhen is played very similar to Si Teng in Rattan.
dropping this for now.. shi zhen and jia shang are making me frustrated lol and also getting more confused as…
City of Streamer is detail heavy so unless you really focus on it it will get confusing. Shizhen and Jiashang's story is the basis to determine at the end if their love is strong enough. We'll see the outcome next week.
Forgot to add somethings. Jaishang is "not smart/intelligent" but can get into military pilot academy. He can self study and pass college sophomore test. Not smart but can catch the person that wired the code to Yang at the interrogation scene with uncle Zhou. Not smart but made the gardener confesses to being a spy and quickly demonstrates how secret codes are carried out. Not smart but investigate and found the truth behind Wenchunli. Not smart but able to create a situation to force his father's hand to handover the opium dens. I could go on. Man, I don't know. I want to be "semi-intelligent" not a so smart person too. Sigh....:D
Oftentimes you'll have to refer back to previous episode to connect the dot. Or wait for the next episode or longer for clues to create a full picture. Good luck!
i would say he's semi-intelligent but nowhere near FL and SML.
Haha, no need. Watching this drama is also a detective work. There are clues sprinkle with each progressing episodes. If one clue is missed then the truth will be distorted. Everything is presented in the drama, there's nothing else I can say. (shrug shoulders)
Although, I have to say I enjoyed these last two episodes immensely. Jaishang vs. the trio at Meng's house. Lol, it was kind of boring watching the trio seriously strategizing how to demolish the Rong's black businesses all the while Jiashang has already implemented his plan. Selling those shares for silver money (which inflation does not affect, especially during war time), exposed his step-mother to Zhou's true character, effectively handle those greedy shareholders and patiently uncovered his father's dirty secret by himself. Man, handsome Jiashang was absolutely badass. :D
He's already in a position where what he does is a dead end. We are also approaching the end of the drama and…
Yes, she was raped, in both novel and drama. In the novel it is more descriptive but not so in the drama. After the auction when she went missing. Shizhen rescue her from Meng's men. When they were in the car Shizhen said she's taking them to the hospital to stop Fanghua's bleeding. However, there wasn't any visible blood on her so it's by deduction that yes, she was raped and bleeding heavily. Otherwise, if she was just assault there weren't be a need to get marry.
hi guys! does anyone know if the book is available online in English? I'd love to read it!
No English translated work. If you are interested here's the link to the original Chinese. You can machine translate the page to read. https://www.hetushu.com/book/3848/index.html
Yes, Baoli is 2ML's mistress. Can't remember what exact episode but it's the one before the auction when FL wanted…
Yeah, it's kind of weird actually.. Most women in the drama have a storyline except for her. She was a dancer before 2ML made her a movie star. She seems happy as a pamper mistress. At the same time has no affections for 2ML as she doesn't seem to get jealous. Not much is known about her so, yeah, it's weird how she's just there.
So I want to ask something...... Is Baoli 2Ml's mistress or not???? Because I thought she works for him and if…
Yes, Baoli is 2ML's mistress. Can't remember what exact episode but it's the one before the auction when FL wanted to get invitation to attend and visit Baoli at her home. 2ML walks out from the bedroom in a robe. Not sure if you've noticed but in this drama wearing sleepwear together is a euphemism to having an intimate relationship. lol
I can't recall but in the novel it's weeks since they separated and then years? at the end. Drama should be the…
At the very end, in the novel, once things are resolved they had a long distance relationship. Him in military pilot school and her teaching and getting graduate degree. She eventually came to join him.
On episode 37 and 38 trailers we see the FL hands in hands with the SML and also she was kidnapped. I haven’t…
Mainly there's a stark contrast in the novel vs drama. He shouldn't have a role in such intimate settings but the drama showed it. There's also his inner monologue in the train too. 2ML is definitely using her to take revenge for him while he sits back. However, the way they are presented is a little awkward for many. I admit, I'm a little uncomfortable while watching their scenes. Especially contrast that after the leads' time in Beijing then separation due to her biological parent's death. Also her passively accepting intimate gestures. At the same time showing ML's struggles. I haven't seen today's episodes but I'm hoping the characters are put/edit back to their selves.
Just a thought, I don't want to fault anyone but Shizhen is played very similar to Si Teng in Rattan.
