So that's why XHA keeps his eyes closed when he has to deal with the fake Zhang Mo..... 😭😭😭
The little details that XHA exhibits gives him the softness that otherwise would make this character one dimensional with his all out hate of the people he has to deal with. And this is how you fall for a character... to give them a relatable human touch.
Frr that’s actually something that i look when i watch this kind of drama ☝🏻😭 if not it will be overwhelmed…
It's not enjoyable when you can't remember a character and their MO while trying to follow where the plot is going. You miss out on the scenes and the impact of the moment when you're having to remember who is who.
The actor, Zhou Qi, playing the deposed empeor posted the picture of the scene of him with his hand up after XHA saying thank you, and the caption 'my smugness wasn't too obvious, was it?' and CY responded, 'you should sleep a little longer' (referring to him getting hit with that shovel). 🤣🤣
With so many characters at play, I'm glad they didn't dump them all at once on us. They're introducing them as needed and also getting rid of them as needed, so paying attention to the ongoing plot isn't too difficult.
Around episode 6 and especially 7 is when the emotional entanglements for the characters set in. Finally seeing the character's background story and their wishes and everyday mundane life, and then knowing what might come ahead, is what gets you invested in the storyline. The beginning episodes sets up XHA's revenge tactics, but these past episodes is what hooks you. It doesn't help that the OSTs and their lyrics also hits at the emotions of this drama. I foresee tons of tears....
This is the very first schedule/calendar that I’ve ever seen that only shows three days instead of a whole week…
Not sure how much or if any wire works for the veteran actors, but there is sword fighting. Could also be using stunt doubles too ?? But there is a cool scene of him propelling onto a horse, that might be the extent of his physical skills. Yeah, can't wait to see how this all pans out. 🤞
Battle of Cheng Yi's characters:Si Feng vs. Qiu ShuiLi Lianhua vs. Li ChenzhouYing Yuan vs. Fu GuiWho would win…
Love everyone's contributing analysis. 🥰 But from this brief discussion we can all see how he just has strings of characters that are so memorable that we can discuss for days. 🤭
I think no one would win— one or both of every pair is a communication king, they’d start with “why are…
😆 But I was thinking how their respective powers would match up with one another. Like each of the pairings almost seem equally strong, so if these characters were to battle it out, who would come out as the winner. Especially Ying Yuan and Fu Gui. Now I would love to see that pair fight, 2 powerhouses duking it out, that would be a visual feast for the eyes. 🤩
