Wang churan is back! Yang Yang is back! It's great to see them in the same drama. Good first 6 episodes. Seeing both Wang Churan and Yangyang was a pure delight. Overall the production and other things were done very well. Rescue scenes were done better than I ever expected.
It seems like there are some minor changes in this drama from the original novel. I read the novel a few months ago. I remember in the novel, FL was super cold at the beginning. Especially, I remember the stitching scene was without any anesthesia in the novel. They changed that a bit here. FL character is more sympathetic and more upright. I like this change. Also, as far as remember there was no Vin Zhang character in the novel. It is a nice thing they added him here, although for a short role.
I already have high expectations for this drama. The beginning was great. But, 40 episodes worries me, and it seems too long for this drama. After covering the novel story, they might need to add more plots to fill these 40 episodes.
Is the release schedule up yet? How many episodes are we getting tomorrow? From the airing dates in MDL, looks like 40 episodes will be released within only 18 days. Probably we will get 2 episodes everyday.
Judging by what I saw on douban , people who were rating it low basically didn't like the way the story flowed…
Yes, I agree. The drama is made of several short stories and 1 main story. At first look, the short stories/fables seem irrelevant to the main story. But, actually all those stories have a purpose and are important. For the viewers sometimes its not easy to follow what is happening. Low rating comes with that. If the viewers stay a little longer, they would like this drama for sure. 9 more episodes. So, former lover and any other person coming back and creating some tension is certainly a possibility. For me, I hope the new fables will be based on FL's hope and expectations about life and will have happy endings.
The ratings are criminally low here. It's sad to see this drama at below 8, where so many mediocre dramas easily get 8+ ratings. Hope the ratings go up, so more viewers get interested and give a chance to this drama.
Next episodes on Sunday. At this point, I'm really fed up with the release schedule. How can we wait 4 long days?
This drama is so good. I didn't expect myself to like it that much. It is different, sometimes a bit odd. But that is the charm of this drama. I want to watch more. But, feeling a bit sad looking at the release schedule. Only 1 episode tomorrow, and no episodes for the next 3 days. Come on, why don't they release 2 episodes everyday and finish it quickly? It is hard for us the viewers to wait that long.
I quite like IU, she is doing great, and I believe she needs some sort of recognition. But, Yoona and Suzy??? No way. Actingwise both are far far behind. And comparing them with the greats of Song Hye Kyo and Jun Ji Hyun??? No way!!!
Shin Hye Sun is back, and wow!! She looks stunning. And her acting was so good. It was a pure delight to see her in a drama again. But about the drama, I don't know, something is missing in this drama. Probably it is hard for us to believe that MC didn't fall in love in her 17 lives, and somehow a young girl suddenly fell in love with a young boy. The chemistry of them as both children and adults did not look so great. Also, in her previous 18 lives, she lived her lives both as male and female. It is hard for the viewers to determine where her emotions truly lie. I also hoped the MC would be more smarter as she spent 18 lifetimes and gathered a lot of knowledge. The first episode fell short of my expectations. I still liked it. The cinematography was great, and the acting was great. And more importantly, Shin Hye Sun looked stunning. But, hope the next episodes will get better.
The drama is great and the main couple is a joy to watch.
Janice Wu never fails to amaze us. Her short guest role in Meet Yourself was great and I wanted to see her in a drama with the main role. And in this drama, she delivered big time. She is just so fun to watch. Come to think of it, whatever drama she acts in as in the main role, support role, or guest role, her characters always make some deep impressions.
Seems like MDL site is also being ‘clean up’, I have been having trouble accessing it.I am quite satisfied…
Hey, same issue with MDL like you. I was thinking it was my problem only. Overall I liked the drama. The ending was good too. But expected a bit more, wanted to watch the main couple more in the ending. I was expecting them all to gather at Nandu in their gambling house and having a party together :D. If I was a screenwriter I would write like that.
I rather ship Liu Gong Chan and Yun Xiang. They are such good brotherly pair😬
Yes, they were actually the true couple. I wonder how far their relationship developed over the episodes. At first, they seemed like enemies to each other. But, over the time they developed this mutual understanding.
Yeah, last 4 episodes with Prince Fu was kinda predictable imo. There were always some twists in the story. But, when the master is introduced somehow the story fell flat.
Another drama ended. I expected more from the last few episodes. But, overall it was a very good drama and I enjoyed it a lot. Don't know what to watch now.
Any suggestions regarding the ongoing dramas or any upcoming dramas? Highly appreciate your suggestions.
So many deaths in the last few episodes. I wonder how many more deaths are waiting for us in the next 2 episodes. It was already heartbreaking to see Jin Biao, Bu Fan, and Kang Qiao dying, hope Mingyu, MengLan, or any other important characters don't die in the next episodes.
I actually didn't like the last 2 episodes. There were a lot of mysteries before. Many of those mysteries got resolved in the last episodes. But, somehow everything felt a bit anticlimactic. Just don't know why.
We have a cliffhanger at the end of episode 34. But at this point, we can all somehow guess that there is no cliffhanger in this. Yun Xiang already guessed that to happen. So, I think YaNan was just pretending over there to be drugged. Also, people surrounding Madame Kou, maybe she is not there or she had some plan of her own. Maybe Kou YuanJie is acting under YX all along, who knows? Let's hope for an exciting finish without any more deaths.
It is his first love and first heart broken. That man has no experience…🤣
I get him. But it contradicts what we saw from him so far. He was always a composed person. Somehow he totally lost it here. I guess, love makes him dumb after all.
What is wrong with Yun Xiang? Why is he acting so pathetic after Yanan left him? It's hard to see him like that. Hope he forgets everything and focuses on politics more. The plot is going crazy. Don't know what to expect. Who is the Master actually? Maybe he is the real villain? Nanfang also seems to have plans of his own. Is Madam Kou a good person? She might, at least she cares about her family. What favor Lord Liu would ask to YX? What is the princess's role in the plot? And we have to wait 4 days to get some of the answers. It's a long wait.
Wow! got really surprised by this drama. I didn't expect it to be that good. It has a good mixture of suspense, action, and romance. The plot and the characters are interesting and unpredictable. Wonder why it's not as popular as other dramas. Really want to know what would happen next and how the mysteries get solved. Wish they have some previews/trailers for the next episodes. But, I don't think we have any. The previews in other dramas spoil me too much, I guess.
