is it worth watching like will some episode be dragging I want to watching it but at the same time something is…
Generally it has very good reviews so you can just try. I struggled a bit to get through some eps but there are some WILD WILD plot twists in this. The scheming is quite well done too. It’s the kind of show that gets better as you watch but right off the bat there are lots of mysteries, and you’ll have LOTS of questions in the beginning about why certain things are happening. These all get answered in some point of the show.
Tbh at some points I didn’t think I would finish the show but now I just completed both season 1 and 2 in just a week haha.
liked this more than season 1, probably cos I’ve grown quite attached to the characters and became quite fond…
At the end of this season I pretty much think fanxian will have to go against almost everyone loool. His enemies are for sure the second prince and the royal princess. At some point I think he’ll have deal with the shady crown prince, although I don’t think he’s much of an opponent. The emperor too definitely only sees him as a chess piece. He’s probably the final boss FX will have to go against. I can’t seem to gauge Chen ping ping’s agenda. He’s not completely on the emperor’s side for sure, and seems to move in a way to protect his own interests. CPP and emperor are allies for now but might not be in the future. I just can’t tell if Chen ping ping will support or go against FX. He’s so difficult to gauge. He might actually be one of my favourite just because of this. Idk what he’s thinking. please dont reply with novel spoilers, thanks. otherwise im happy to hear thoughts and theories.
liked this more than season 1, probably cos I’ve grown quite attached to the characters and became quite fond of fan xian as a character. He’s a lot more serious here and at times it feels like he’s bearing the weight of the world. The plot is pretty good overall, on par with s1, but with less mysteries and wild plot twists. I felt less frustrated in s2 cos there were less invisible hands pulling strings here hahaha. also less harem vibes in this season. in s1 i know hes loved only wan er but i still felt the eeky harem vibes from his interactions with female characters and how the other characters perceived his relationship with various women. AND FINALLY WE GOT TO SEE AN ACTUAL GRANDMASTER AFTER A GRAND TOTAL OF 82 eps. Omg. I thought we were never gonna see one and they were just mythical characters at some point since we only ever hear about them. S2 is an improvement from s1 in terms of aesthetics for sure.the directing, sets, costumes, hair were just way better in s2. There were times I was bored but honestly all I had to do was look at the fanxian’s luscious locks and I was entertained. I LOVED HIS HAIR SO MUCH, I WANNA HAVE A PERM LIKE HIS. Excited for s3 I hope it gets released soon, it’s probably gonna be the best season yet (if it’s actually the final season). I feel like s2 ended on a somewhat random note, like we’re still in the beginning of a new arch.
Also did ya notice how they keep making references to that gap btw seasons lol like how Fx has gotten thinner…
Yes hahaha I loved the gag. FX does look super skinny this season. He looks like he had a glow up, better looks, outfits and hair. His hair is looking so glossy HAHAHAH
Ths season is more about fan xian getting to get a foothold in the city, creating more allies that will help him…
Yes of course I just felt the corruption arch was too long. Personally I enjoy the scheming from fan xian, Chen ping ping and the emperor the best. I don’t care much for the other princes haha. And by fight I don’t mean literal physical fights. I wanted to see how fx will fight against Chen ping ping and the emperor, cause from what I see they all have differing views so I was excited to see the mind games they’ll play. But so far there’s not much of that in s2, I guess this will be in s3 cos the emperor seems like the final boss that FX will have to go against.
ok fighting corruption is good and all but i just wanna see the main characters fight each other lmaoooo like pleaseee im at ep 20 and i feel like ive been watching him fight corruption fro 15 ep. and wheres my fave wuzhu shu 😭😭😭 i need his deadpan comedy
honestly this drama felt like fanxian was collecting a harem at some points. i know hes not romatically involved with anyone else but all his female interactions give off that vibe. im just glad its not a harem loool
he did, and he was really smart. but back then he wasnt fully aware he was being manipulated. now he truly cannot trust anyone but his own wits. so im excited to see how he will stand against the people who have been "supporting" him in S1
i dont have viki but fortunately i have VIU which also has JOL s2. im just mad disney+ doesnt have subs even though its PAID nad global platform. the shittiest streaming service ever
Tbh at some points I didn’t think I would finish the show but now I just completed both season 1 and 2 in just a week haha.
