#ZhangLinghe #ZhaoJinmai #ZhangXincheng #WangYuwen for Hello Saturday recording today.https://x.com/ForCdrama/status/1813923940227842208
I posted something about this upcoming event and then I forgot the details. Thank you for this. I was going to look for it. I hope we get some subtitles.
if you have issues with the story not following the novel, tell me if this is the first time in the entire years…
I don't know about daily views. I just know that TPR has been #1 on the charts. It did well in China. Of course, everybody wanted less time for SRQ in the final episode.
I remember you telling me something along the lines that the drama follows the novel closely, so I should expect to see chap 170 included. No adaptation is ever exactly like the book. I would have much preferred the novel's cave scene. I expected LR to run to PWX. That part didn't feel right to me but the gist of the cave scene wasn't a huge change from the novel. The twirling scene was added and SRQ's lines about how he won this time was so ridiculous I laughed it off. But the cave scene kept to the spirit of the scene you described when LR reached for the dagger and she screamed at SRQ that he was disgusting.
I agree that the SRQ's speech in the final episode was too long and there was too much attention given to the flashbacks we had already seen and as you know me by now concerning their past relationship. I did not want to see it. But the ending was happy and that was a relief for me. ZLH made me love PWX. To say that SRQ was the ML is taking it too far. I hardly noticed SRQ in the first half of the drama.
Thank you for sharing some details from the book. Some parts sound preferable to the drama's. Others have shared details about the novel that I would have loved to have seen in the drama. I read chap 123-127 and I wished they had included the brothel scene. I think Jin Mai and ZLH did a wonderful job depicting the humor between the couple as I was able to see that in the way they played each other. By the way, if you could point me to the mother-in-law chapter, I would appreciate it.
I think the point Kookie is trying to make is that if people don't like the drama for any reason, they should give their rating and move on instead of the constant hate comments that discourage others from watching. The comments are not just sharing opinions with some justification or reason. Some are downright hateful. For example, there was one member asking people to lower the rating. There is a post at the top that serves no purpose but to hate LR. It feels like Operation Destroy The Princess Royal in here.
I got it. Even though the ratings here don't mean anything it set a tone when people are looking for something…
I feel the same. I watched a drama I loved and was hit with a huge disappointment at the end because the producer did not stick with the novel's happy ending and sacrificed the viewers' happiness for an "open" ending that many felt was a sad ending. I was so mad and that producer got scolded by netizens. I went round and round with that ending to convince myself that the ML did not die. I even analyzed numbers of the seats shown in that scene where he sat on #34 which could symbolize between life and death in translation of the Chinese numbers. I read parts of the novel for TPR and felt the drama kept close to the novel from what I read and TPR has a happy ending. Even the preview of the bonus episode has a scene with the kids I want to see and happy it was included in the bonus as it was sadly missing in the final episode. And I loved the chemistry between the leads. When I watch again once Netflix releases all episodes, I am sure I will pick up on more details. The words shared between PWX and LR are meaningful. Oh, and I found that 'bot" situation funny too especially as I have never even seen that person! I am sure there are others annoyed with me as I have been told by another to take a breather from defending LR π
This review is straight to the point! I had to laugh when I read the part about Consort R. She didn't look like someone an emperor would favor. She looked crazy from the start. I enjoyed the music. There were complaints that the sml had better music but I don't know why some were upset because I loved the music for PWX and the lyrics are beautiful and significant to the couple's relationship. I am happy you enjoyed TPR the way I did! There are comments meant to discourage people from watching and I feel as if some would miss out on this unique chemistry. ZLH was wonderful in this to the point I loved him more watching him here than in SOKP which I loved.
I found the twirling around and SRQ saying he won this time ridiculous. Good to just laugh. It was one sided.…
I refused to believe it until the drama said something. People kept talking about LR and SRQ as if it was shown in the drama. It wasn't until the scene were PWX was in the tub and he had a conversation with himself that it "confirmed" it happened. PWX's previous self said, "...when she was snuggling up to " SQR some long nights. I am not going to read the book. But you should read chap 123-127. It is funny and cute.
I totally get where you are coming from. Though I loved the main couple and stayed for them, the way the show…
I tried for Xu Kai but I had put ABAY on hold for now. I have never been able to enjoy Seven in romance even though someone told me she was better in this. I tried again and once I saw her trying to act cute with her boyfriend ...it doesn't work. Xu Kai is so good looking. I know some who are watching for him but I just cannot watch this CP.
I agree. Some scenes should have been shortened as you mentioned with the sml, but I hardly noticed him until the drama's second half. It didn't take away from my enjoyment of LR and PWX.
Why is it that you are always a step ahead of me whenever I want to post an update? Your news is very accurate,…
Some keep saying it is low in China. I posted this yesterday also. Also Marcus did a repost and said TPR was #1. Here is the link to Marcus here around the 11 min mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcI4KjbkUdI
You are expressing how you feel quite nicely. You mentioned what you liked and didn't like. Nobody is going attack…
I thought the same but I keep hearing it is good. How about Love Like the Galaxy or A Dream of Splendor? A Dream of Splendor is relaxing when you see how the FL does tea art.
