it was also weird when they were in battle against lord changxin and ML asked one of his generals to protect her…
Yes!! There were so many unbelievable things. I think if they showed her progression in levelling up (like in wuxias) and all her training from childhood, it would feel more realistic. Def all plot armor that she won every fight.
I feel you. it's crazy when the 2nd couple feels more real than the leads. at least Qi Min has normal emotions,…
In POJ I couldn't feel the chemistry between the main leads at all, very diff from SOKP where I could feel the chemistry between ZLH and Bai Lu. The second and third couples had more chemistry, and I enjoyed their stories more.
Agreed, I began to lose interest when the leads met up but they kept on dragging on the hidden identity piece, which led to foolish actions by FL. FL only survived continuously due to plot armor. I also didn't like that ML became so underwhelming when compared to how much FL outshone him.
I see romance is ranked second in genre.So wondering is there truly a lot of romance for male lead and female…
This is a romance-heavy drama, but it is a slow burn with push and pull for most of the series. But I love this, bc it makes it more authentic given the enemies-to-lovers trope.
You're right that it deviated from MQY's character. This is bc in the novel, he never used Disintegration and…
OMG I was fuming and in shock, thinking wtf wtf the whole time...like why did the scriptwriter go off the rails and make up random plots at the 11th hour. I couldn't even cry or empathize with the main leads bc I hated this plot change.
Thank goodness for that because I was thinking the same thing and I hated that the most about Love in the Clouds…
Yes!!! That is the only thing I would've changed in LITC. I really liked Situ Ling and how much he helped Ming Yi, and I wish he stayed like that. I hated that they made him the final villain.
It felt so out of character when Mu Qingyan was "dying" in the last episode to have him tell Cai Zhao:…
You're right that it deviated from MQY's character. This is bc in the novel, he never used Disintegration and he never almost died like that. They should have stuck to the novel's ending. I'm disappointed.
Hi! Some folks said the beginning is confusing, so I thought I'd write a more detailed plot summary below:
Cai Zhao (FL) is from Luoying Valley. They have a reputation of producing "demonesses" (basically female ancestors who had rebelled or did something against the norm). This trend was finally broken by her aunt, Cai Pingshu, a talented, famous heroine who became a role model to everyone across the martial arts world. She was a strong influence in Cai Zhao's childhood upbringing until she passed away three years ago.
In the martial arts world, there's a total of Six Sects that are united against their common enemy (the Demonic Sect), with Qinque Sect being the leading sect of the Six Sects. Her parents make her go to Qinque Sect to become an apprentice and learn martial arts from the Qinque Sect leader, Qi Yunke.
While en route in sending her to Qinque Sect, they receive news that one of the Six Sects (Chang Fort) had been attacked, so they immediately go help. Unfortunately, when they arrive, everyone is already dead except for Chang Ning (ML), the son of Chang Fort's sect leader. He is heavily injured and taken to Qinque Sect to heal.
While at Qinque Sect, Cai Zhao discovers that Chang Ning is often bullied by fellow Qinque Sect apprentices, so she steps in as his protector. As Cai Zhao spends more time with Chang Ning, she suspects that there could be more to him -- like maybe a hidden motive or even a hidden identity. She also learns that there could be more hidden, dangerous secrets regarding what actually happened during the previous generation, including her own aunt's life story.
