You just never know what mood the FL will have when she wakes up every day. I'm at episode 9 and I just realized she's borderline insane. It seems she's acting in some alternate dimension of her own making while everyone else is in the real world. And no her condition is not good enough to explain her behavior. I'm glad the 2nd FL is at least reasonable and level headed in comparison.
Just something i have noticed a bit reading back through the comments...I absolutely hate GJM and I feel horrible…
GJM has back to back success with producing a top notch production and here a troll somehow thinks their useless opinion is worth time to listen to. Keep your shallow and repetitive complaints and spare us from your tardism.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: this show is gayer than Jack and Joker. I mean Shin looking at Saint…
I would actually like Jack and Joker better without the BL parts. The romantic scenes have been sideline all this time that when they decided to focus on it now it feels forced to me.
This drama though has had unresolved tension from the start and if it were a Chinese drama the censors would have to order cut incessantly.
As I said most directors indulge their actors whims and demands. If you don't like GJM don't watch or spread your nasty and insecure behavior. You don't want your faves being eclipse, that's your deal. There are some of us who would like a more complete and coherent story than seeing the main leads occupy 90% of the story.
And what is the problem with that? Only nasty tards spend their time bashing productions so no one eclipses their faves. TJR was not even 2nd ML or third ML in MJTY and yet he managed to shine in that drama. There are many directors out there that indulge the main leads and their fans but don't include GJM in that department because the story is more important and giving other characters to tell their story is also important.
Does anyone else find the story dull and uninteresting?I was really looking forward to this drama as it was directed…
Yup disappointed, I'm not really into these kinds of fantasy dramas. I don't think this really fits the usual fantasy genres in C-dramas that i've been accustomed too. Definitely Ying-Yang Master vibes in it and I didn't like that one. I guess I will have to wait for a proper historical drama from GJM because I am not really liking this one.
Forget Goodbye My Princess comparison, I was genuinely sad by the ending of that one. It was poignant, tragic and a fitting conclusion to the story. Two people who love each other and got separated by misunderstandings and circumstances versus this enemies to lovers trope that requires incredible mental gymnastics to justify how FL even felt any attraction to ML. Forgiveness and closure could bloom between this two. But a sappy and "love you to death" love story, absolutely not!
Watching this after 9 episodes I have to say the FL must be mentally disturbed to even consider getting together with ML. The ML literally tried to kill her several times and then continually harassed her because she knew his identity. Then somehow she started to develop feelings because she learnt the ML sob story. This is literally Thai lakorn staple sprinkled with dubious and unrealistic choices by the female lead.
I answered you questions about the satisfying ending below : desert scroll - ruo wen - Ge xin wei - quicksand..
Good point, I still wonder if Na Zhan is his real half brother or if the story the ML found out about Na Zhan's mother coming to the palace bearing a child and his father accepting them meant Na Zhan might have a different father. The drama does not elaborate on this again.
Now that I finished this drama I don't understand what's with the low rating. I mean this drama is not perfect…
I agree, it's a lot better than a lot of the high budget costume dramas, most of which which I've drop this year because of the plot. This drama has an interesting plot and the setting is very beautiful. Obviously it was limited by a tighter budget and smaller runtime. I know there are some frustrations with how the story went but overall this beats most of the costume dramas that were released this year. It's not trying too hard but it was engaging enough to keep me watching to the end and entice me to come here to comment as the drama went along.
This is the problem for having actors that are too young for these sorts of dramas. There's a distinct lack of skinship in this drama because of the ages of the actors.
It's getting tiresome watching the same situation repeated over and over AKA longing stares and jealous looks from the leads. Their story is not moving. Far too many sidestories and couples I don't give a damn about. I don't care about the GL plot, I don't like there's a dozen couple they are trying to cram in this drama, I know this is 15 episodes but after 6 episodes in I'm feeling the plot is still at the introductory episodes.
How long did HBS and Rou Wen loiter around Sangjiang finding entrance that Huo Qingyun was able to caught up with them? Apparently that place was not so remote after all.
