I still haven't finished LYF Season 2. I think my TV protested against me watching it because it decided to die a few days ago. Now I have no TV.
Your TV boycotted S2? LOL! But think of all the gorgeous Xiang Liu scenes you are missing out on! Which episode are you up to?
HeadInTheClouds:
Have you finished Once Promised drama, liddi?
Funny that you mention it. I was just telling @Kokuto this the other day:
liddi:
My only regret was that I held off reading it for so long. Definitely, I hope that it will be fully translated too one day. You know that because I love it so much, I went back to brave certain scenes in A Lifetime Love - and found myself actually tearing up during the events leading to A Heng's first death, which surprised me, because the CGI was nothing to write home about. However, by the same token, the glaring issues of having wooden actors playing nuanced, grey roles are even more pronounced. I really wish they would remake Once Promised again, though that is probably a pipe dream.
Safe to say, I have not ventured past this. More than an oily Chi Chen (actually this is no longer an issue in later parts of the drama), a block of wood Shao Hao drove me up the wall and I cannot bring myself to continue. The drama actually made Shao Hao less callous - by having him regretting and turn back to find A Heng after he initially left with half the jade egg, but by the time he arrived, it was too late and he only saw Luo Jia (Hou Tu) weeping at the edge of Yu Abyss, and was told how A Heng died.
They also made it such that A Heng being recovered from Yu Abyss is actually all through Chi Chen's efforts, and he brought her back to Xuan Yuan, but because she went berserk, she was then trapped in a formation to be destroyed (again a decision made by the 4 ministers after the Yellow Emperor was knocked unconscious by A Heng's attack). Chi Chen was the one who helped her break free from the demonic possession. The Yellow Emperor was furious when he heard what his ministers attempted to do to A Heng, and banished one of them. I didn't properly sit down and watch it through so I might be mistaken but it seems like drama Yellow Emperor is less ambitious (willing to live in peace with Shen Nong) and more caring of his children? Dunno.
Now, since you don't seem that keen to watch S2, how about you braving A Lifetime Love on behalf of us? LOL
