You know what ? I’m just like you. I have mental problems and dramas (amongst other things) are my way to forget the cruel reality and to have more strength to fight it. It seems nothing but actually, little things from everyday life (for us, dramas, for some, books or cinema or shopping) that make us smile and forget stress are in fact the things that allow us to hold on. There was a time, after my most beloved one’s death, where I had suicidal thoughts (I already had had it in my middle school days but they resurfaced eventually) and sometimes, the only thing that could calm me down was to skip school and go to theater watch Beauty and The Beast (I watched it three times during that period) or to think « You can’t die now :The Wolf with Li Qin still hasn’t been released » (that, and my family that I couldn’t bear to hurt) See ? It looks like nothing but it helps a lot
If it wasn’t for Pon, I wouldn’t have watched at all : the characters aren’t very likable and overall, the story is predictable and full of cliches, and the female lead is very annoying, as a character and as and as an actress. Pon’s acting is the only thing that is worth it in this drama : touching and full of charisma
I read a review of the original source for this drama and OML, the dog blood. I’m intrigued but also petrified.…
Funny, the drama seems to have taken a completely different direction from the novel : they seem to focus on action while the novel seems more about weird romance
I also loved Qin Sang. People said she was too cold, manipulative and selfish but I believe she was decisive and more realistic than many female leads. Sure, she wasn’t a saint, but that’s what made her great and relatable, I’m sick of saint-female-leads. She wasn’t all about love after her break up and let’s be honest, her husband didn’t immediately tell her he loved her since childhood and even acted the opposite so how could she have known ? I couldn’t believe it when viewers blamed her for being too cruel with him just because she didn’t immediately respond to his love

I guess I’ll have to spend more time on my Chinese lessons...
