The show is highly entertaining, but the plot holes have become increasingly noticeable, which may put off some viewers. It's starting to demand significant effort from the audience to piece together the story and justify or reinterpret any inconsistencies. And I think this issue is arising from the need to keep the show within a limited number of episodes (40), which has started to disrupt, if not completely kill, the overall narrative flow.
I understand that a lot of us who are loving the show are ready to do this work (making sense of inconsistencies/interpreting) but it's also okay to acknowledge that the show does have some flaws. And of course, these flaws are separate from the slow-burn romance aspect of the show, which many of us have come to really enjoy.
1st and 2nd questions are connected. For someone who as smart as him, he sure knows who she is, even from the…
Thanks! Yeah, I think so too. Maybe what I was trying to do was decoding every sentence they say to each other. And sometimes bad subtitling ends up confusing you -- I'm sure the original language would have captured all the nuances of their interactions and every word in it would make sense. Anyway, I'd have to do with what we get in English (and other translations). In essence, I should stick to the gist of the conversation.
Hi y'all, made an account specifically for this drama. I have a few questions about ep 18 (and general) and I invite your responses. Thanks in advance!
1. Maybe the subtitles are just bad but I was curious what the interaction between Duke Su and our lady right at the beginning of the episode meant (at the restaurant where Duke said something about prisoners, verifying the identity and humans not seeking clarity in everything). Sometimes their interactions are so cryptic -- I don't know if it's bad subtitles or if that's intentional.
2. This makes me think, does the Duke know who she really is? Sometimes it looks like he does, other times it looks like he does not (at least not conclusively).
3. Do y'all pay for Youku TVOD to watch the episodes as soon as they come? For instance, for me the episodes come at 12AM EST but I have to wait a couple hours to access them via my VIP account. I am so annoyed that Youku asks for more money even when I have paid for a VIP account. Also, is it a one-time payment for TVOD or do we have to pay more money every time to access each episode earlier?
