OMG I can't wait for this one. It was a long novel but the story is quite nice and each character is really complex.…
I just finished the novel and I have to disagree about Hong Yi not shaving his head. Makes the drama feel more commercial and not as reverent. Shouldn't have been hard for him to get a buzzcut.
Bao Shangen played a nonchalant, avoidant but well-loved girl pretty well! Her display of strength wasn't the 'in your face' type which suited her character perfectly.
Reading the comments, I thought this would be so bad compared to the first season. Yet, here I am, 14 episodes…
I feel like people like to exaggerate the "dropoff" of S2 from S1 but in all honesty there's still a lot of creativity in S2 that would be considered peak for other dramas π€·ββοΈ
This is such a good review, I read it only now that i finished watching the series and I agree with the shounen…
Aw, thanks!!
I feel like the ratings on MDL for less popular cdramas, including this one, are more fairly rated to be honest? (Anything that scores above an 8 on MDL I just credit to an actor's fanbase and not because of genuine ratings.) At least, I didn't get the impression that people downvoted this one 'cause of the lack of romance.
Hear me out... "The Road to Splendour" sounds less cheesy (and more in line with θ±εΌι¦η»£ hua kai jin xiu or 'flowers in full bloom') than "Escape to Your Heart" π¬π
I'm more confused then ever? π€£ so did Mu Zhengyang betray the aunt at all? so was he the real mastermind and…
based on my understanding, mu zhengyang wanted power, so he did betray pingshu. he used her to get the items needed for ziwei method so that he could tempt nie hengcheng to learn it without telling him the final step which would cause him to die. however, mu zhengyang fell in love with pingshu in the process. still, he chose to kill her other friends (the ambush). one dude (lu chengnan) got away and revealed it to pingshu??? which i guess made pingshu angry so she killed mu zhengyang, and he, having nothing left to fight for, just let her kill him⦠i think. lol.
qi yunke's anger was still connected to the MZY/CP mess because if MZY never used pingshu to find the items and tempted nie hengcheng with ziwei method, nie hengcheng wouldn't have caused a rampage. pingshu learned disintegration method to kill nie hengcheng, and this method killed her eventually. qi yunke wanted to take revenge against anyone who contributed to pingshu's death, whether it be the demonic sect or other members o the six sects who "turned their backs" on pingshu.
that being said, i don't like this scriptwriter either π€£
For real....all that blood. And the final scene where her Qi Yunke bursted out streams of blood and died felt…
I cannot trust this director/scriptwriter combo ever again bruh. I didn't even read the novel and have no plans to do so, but I just feel bad for the novel fans who probably feel disappointed with these types of changes to the story.
It was weird to me. Like this dude has already killed a bunch of people and they still chose to glamourise his death that way? It comes off as someone projecting themselves in their work π΅βπ«
- finally got the lore on the "Poison Demoness", the third Cai woman mentioned by Zhao Zhao in her introduction in Ep 1
- You Guanyue gloating over Song Yuzhi over the fact that his own brother betrayed him after Yuzhi wrongly accused the demom sect lmaooo yuzhi don't be a prick to your own saviours
- slowburn tension between MQY and Zhao Zhao 𫦠whenever the duet OST starts to play i just know the mood is right π
subs aren't perfect and they vanish at some point towards the end but better than nothing! they have another interview which actually has more cute banter between them but i can't find a subbed version on youtube for the life of me, just twitter π
Missing our Zhao Zhao πΈπ«
