Yo, I just started a war on Viki because there was a stupid lady saying stupid stuff about LYF and this was my reply:
"LMAO tell me more about how that drama of which you haven't got the slightest knowledge or grasp of is "all about violence against a women". [sic]
Which woman? All women? Or that woman who happened to be a woman in a man's body, with all the male bits that come with it, trespassing on enemy camp with dubious motives while in the middle of a war. That woman? Who tried to kill a general and his mount with poison? That woman?
That drama is not voted high enough, and if it's got so much traction and so many people talking about is in big part because of Xiang Liu and his portrayal by Tan Jian Ci, who ate that role up so much that he's made a character created 10 years ago become even more famous and beloved than it already was. Take it up with the Chinese people and the millions there who keep making that drama one of the most important of 2023.
Shaming people for liking the dramas they like is getting so old. Just enjoy the things you enjoy and let others do the same.
PS.: Sucking her blood is super cool indeed by the way. There's that "feeling of frisson and excitement" as Tong Hua described in the novel. But more importantly, it's what is going to make Xiang Liu succeed in saving her life later on. If it wasn't for him, she'd be dead at least twice. Actually, a lot of people in that story would be dead if not for him. Such a villain, saving people's lives and doing all that without anyone knowing."
