They're trying to turn this into a fanwar to minimize the social impact of Zzh's case and Li Xuezheng's efforts for the people. Don't be that fan and take the bait. Speak facts on the situation when possible, otherwise don't engage at all.
when they said she lost 6 of her senses I legit thought they meant she was blind, deaf, and had no sense of touch (in other words, wouldn't be able to sense her own body motion/coordination). The taste, smell, and lack of emotion was understandable. but i feel like for the other three i've been scammed lol
she's not blind but looks like she cant see color since she mentions she can't enjoy a sunset?, she can hear but seems to be tone deaf since she mentions she can't enjoy music?, and she can touch, just that she can't feel pain. idk i think it would have been better if they just called it how it is, that she has limited senses, not that she lost (or doesn't have) them, since she hasn't lost them, they still function, just not at 100%. being color blind doesn't mean lost of sight. not hearing the musical notes doesn't mean loss of hearing. not feeling pain doesnt mean loss of touch.
It's not as simple as "y/n" answer. There are many layers to this answer.
This was adapted from a BL novel, however, with censorship, this was reduced to brotherhood. Technically it is not a BL as it cannot be a BL by Chinese media standard. BL content is banned in China. However, even then, many viewers will agree that the actions taken within the show aren't simple brotherhood behavior either and resembles a BL much more. It's a guise, basically, to pass censorship.
Rule of thumb.
If you're not a BL fan and are adamant about not watching anything BL related, then don't watch this.
But if you are a BL fan or can watch anything, then dig right in because this is so gay but also pretty fun to watch.
Edit: ah just noticed pfp is Adachi from CM. Definitely give this a watch then because the gay is strong in this one. Many of us still wonder to this day how this wuxia even managed to get released to the public. You'll notice the gay the very moment the main characters meet ☺
What infuriated me the most about this drama was the FACT that Fu Rong experienced being framed first hand AND saw others be framed and she is still the one to misunderstand Prince Su the most from OTHER PEOPLE framing him. Like bruhhhhhhhhh you've been through this, you know the struggle that there is more than meets the eye and yet you still believe some BULLLSHITTTT. What did we learn when Fu Rong's master was accused of making jewelry that is triggering to the Emperor's wife and got imprisoned in the earlier episodes? FALSE. What did we learn when Fu Rong was imprisoned and accused of killing her master? FALSE. What did we learn when she thought Prince Su killed her master? FALSE. What did we learn when Fu Rong was accused of material embezzlement during the jewelry competition? FALSE. What did we learn when Prince Cheng framed Prince Su? FALSE. Do we see a pattern? Yes, exactly! There is more than meets the eye so don't bullshit me with some "I thought I knew you better" cuz bitch you clearly never knew each other if at this point you still don't understand there is someone behind everything! Y'all literally spent the ENTIRE show debunking false rumors and yet y'all still don't understand each other! Christ!
(I didnt read comments on MDL nor other comments on drama sites so I was not influenced by anyone else's opinion to think this way about her ordeal. It's literally the built up of every false framing debunked both by herself and Prince Su that makes the final misunderstanding soooooo infuriating to sit through. As I mentioned, she been through it first hand, how is it that nothing seemed suspicious to her when everything oh so conveniently aligned and pointed at Prince Su? Even if she didn't trust him, at least trust herself and her own experience! Girl done forget both she and Prince Su have been framed multiple times! Did it not occur to her this time is also something to be suspicious about???? Also the fact that it took Gu Yuan confessing for her to finally find out Prince An was behind everything! I personally thought that was too easy! I wanted Fu Rong to investigate and find out herself how wrong she is!)
Rant over.
Anyway, overall the show was alright. Despite the rant earlier, at the very least they don't actually stay mad at each other long so their misunderstandings don't actually drag the plot. And Fu rong isn't dumb, she's actually pretty smart. But the plot really did her dirty. They attempt to communicate and understand each other. Cute moments here and there. The backstory with the corruption was pretty nice, however, at times it did feel like two separate plots. One with the romance and one with the action. It gets better mixed in the later episodes when Fu Rong starts getting involved. There were a lot of characters that I thought didn't really deserve screentime or sometimes I forget they matter in the drama but hey, I guess each have their own little purpose plotwise so they just exist for that (then they disappear. i.e., Qi Zhu). The editing needs work though. Scene transitions felt awkward sometimes.
The ending was kind of anti-climatic, in my opinion. The Prince An reveal, the fight, the sad "oh no she's gonna die but miraculous non-death" reveal, Princee An and his mom, the Ruyi Pavilion handover. Just everything combined.
As mentioned. Overall, it's alright. I'll give a 7.5/10.
3 prominent anti's that have harassed Zhehan and incited disgusting comments toward him have just recently given up and pulled back on their effort, stating they will let the authorities handle the situation. A couple things we can lean on this. Not definite answers but something to think about. 1. The masses are starting to see the truth, leaving these anti's to fool no one except gullible ignorant folks. So seeing that no one is being fooled, there's no point. 2. After Li Xuezheng's efforts, authorities are getting involved. Perhaps these anti's have been served with papers that is why they are quick to run. 3. Their employers pulled out of the deal, no longer going to pay them the promised amount. There's nothing for them to continue harassing Zhehan anymore because a.) Not only will they potentially face consequences with authorities, they also don't get paid. b.) They've very much been put on blast via Li Xuezheng so everyone knows what kind of work they do. It's a lose-lose situation for antis.
Also, there's an Anti-Organized Crime Act that will be put in place starting May 1 2022 that will serve as a method to catch people who do organized crimes. This Act covers "soft violence" which basically covers things such as causing disputes and conflicts/disturbances. In individuals, cause them to have restrictive freedom, psychological effects, ability to work, and impact on their social life. (So basically what anti's have done to Zhehan).
In summary, authorities are closing in on whoever is behind the framing of Zhang Zhehan. New policies/acts are being put in place to clean up the mess.
To think that in August these people thought they would just make one actor disappear but in reality, what they got in return is a much more stricter online environment. You reap what you sow.
The best gift to end 2021 is to hear Zhang Zhehan's voice. To know there are many people who believe in him. To know that things are heading in the right direction. Happy New Year to everyone! Happy New Year to Zhehan, may 2022 be kind to him and his family!
I personally liked this. Although it was only 24 episodes and 45 mins in duration, the story itself felt longer…
Spoiler #1 At the beginning, I thought the story would carry on with Hanshuo trying forever to get the Dragon Bone. I legit thought we would be spending the entire drama going through the progress of Hanshuo and Qianqian falling in love, but at the same time, realizing they had their own goals and struggling to come to terms with the fact that they won’t be happy together because of plot conveniences. But as mentioned, with the addition of the comedy, we were able to bypass all this mess. Qianqian just popped up and took the Dragon Bone, boiled it, Hanshuo drank it, and that ordeal was done with. I wondered for a second what the rest of the story is going to be about now, now that Hanshuo has achieved his goal. But the drama was filled in with other interesting things so I wasn’t left to wonder long.
#2 For example the very fact that Qianqian stole the Dragon Bone (the treasure of their City) and her mom still tried her best to save her daughter. Or the fact that every time Hanshuo was put on trial to be killed or otherwise, Qianqian begging her mother always resulted in a positive outcome for Hanshuo. This child is seriously too spoiled. To the point I question how the City Owner title is still within Qianqian’s mom’s hand. How the people have not just straight up revolted due to her protecting her own daughter over the interest of the people. I don’t know man, I just thought the mom’s part of the story was interesting as well.
#3 I don’t have much to say about Chuchu lol. I don’t know, she was kind of basic for most of the story. I definitely thought despite her character being the original Heroine, in this new version, as the villain, I didn’t find her worthy of either title, because she was very naive. She got tricked multiple times and made many mistakes. She didn’t exert any quality of a strong headed person. Compared to Qianqian, who although was not taken seriously and showed to be dumb, had better ideas (although her ideas were pretty dumb, like geniunely dumb because who in their right mind tries to frame people so many times even though they are always caught. So think about it. Considering Qianqian genuinely comes up with dumb ideas, and they still somehow work better than Chuchu’s. Just goes to show how much I unfavor Chuchu). Chuchu being tricked by Hanshuo at the end was seen coming miles away. How she thought to make a deal with him perplexes me lol. If she had not planned to backstab him prior to the deal, then that makes it worse, because it looked like she genuinely thought she could trust him. Ig her naivety comes from her character who still fell for Hanshuo but c’mon, she desires power more than love. It’s not even a good excuse anymore.
#4 The ending was somewhat iffy to me. Like I liked it but at the same time, it left me a little sad that Hanshuo and Qianqian in the script disappeared like that. They came back to modern time and retain all their memories from the dream, so it was as if they “found each other” again as Qianqian and Hanshuo, but they aren’t. They are Actor Han and scriptwriter Xiao Qian. Their history is nonexistent in real life and what they had in the dream, imo, doesn’t make up for anything in real life. I hope that in season 2, if it ever comes true, will expand more on them in modern time.
Side comment. In the first episode when Hanshuo started to fake cough after learning the one he saved was the Third Prince Qianqian, not the Second Princess Chuchu, I nearly died laughing because GOD DAMN that was hilarious!
I personally liked this. Although it was only 24 episodes and 45 mins in duration, the story itself felt longer than that. I think it's just because so much was happening as the story progressed that everything felt packed with something to not distract you or drift off (well, to me at least. Idk how others will feel about it.) When I was on ep 5, I felt like I had already watched at least 10 episodes already. It was such an odd feeling to feel like I’ve already watched so much only to check the episode and see I barely started.
The story was fun in its own way. To be able to introduce Xiaoqian as her own character weaving her way around the original plot of her script was interesting to me. Although we already know her original plot, nothing about her actions as Qianqian seemed boring to me. (Note, this does not mean the story wasn’t predictable though. It was, but it was still fun nonetheless.) The addition of comedy was able to boost this drama up a notch, in my opinion. If this was not a comedy, I don’t think I would have liked this as much as I did. (In other words, if they had made a drama according to Xiaoqian’s original depressing plot, I probably wouldn’t have bothered watching lol)
As for the characters. I liked almost all of them. Each character had their own endearing characteristics. Even the two servants Zi Rui and Bai Ji were entertaining. The dynamic between Qianqian and Hanshuo was okay to me. Sometimes I thought their relationship felt a bit forced, but once we got over that part, they were dang cute together.
Last but not least, I wanna comment about Qianqian’s mom. If not for her, I don’t think Qianqian would have been able to do much of the things she did. Because the City Owner was so lenient with Qianqian, she got away with doing a lot of things. Continue to spoiler comment #2.
Overall, I liked this. I gave it a rewatch just for the heck of it lol.
Yes. For both bl and non-bl. Although the bl romance is officially recorded as bromance/brotherhood.
The BL couple is Actor Zhang Zhehan and actor Gong Jun (Zhou Zishu x Wen Kexing respectively). The non-BL is actress Zhou Ye and actor Asher Ma (Guxiang x Cao Weining respectively).
I appreciate dramas like this, NOT because I support these kinds of behaviors, but this kind of dramas make good…
Well, you kind of attacked other people first so. Not sure why you're pulling the victim card. That's kind of odd considering you did write "Come on people let's start teaching our kids what kind of behavior is acceptable...." in your comment. You indirectly accuse people of not being up to standard and expect no one to refute (giving their own opinion on the matter) you? I'll quote you, "In what world exactly do you live?"
doesn't the show, in all it's rendition, show that it ISN'T acceptable behavior? that's why he changes as the…
no, i see it. that's why i say that's the unrealistic part about this. because realistically, no one would encourage this behavior. but we're unrealistically talking here, aren't we.

im only on ep 3 tho so we'll see how this goes.
