Yeah, it's fairly easy to follow the plot now.
For me the toughest ones to follow is the historical ones cause they have a bunch of politics and talking nevertheless I did love Fated Hearts rightaway, and Blossom or LLTG, it really is a big variety. I'm glad you're having tons of drama to watch at the moment, for me it's more on the drought side lately, perhaps I'm in a slump haha.

Yeah, I've noticed the awkward angles too. The director should know better, and work to find the flattering positions that would amplify the presence, the flare. It's definitely not a one size fits all. I also loved him since WIFTY, he did a great job in 12 letters too. Never seen him in a costume drama tho.

Lol, well I did manage to convert my cousin and he watched a few but not nearly enough for me lmao.
Yup, stumbled accidentaly on my first cdrama around 5 years ago and have never been the same 😻

Same, I only started this because of ZYR (he's a pookie with a nice voice and dimples lmao), I also like the FL , liked her in Youthful Glory ( except the terrible voice dub in that one) apart from the lack of fighting skills, I'd say she plays here quite a similar character.

People are unusually nitpicky with this drama to be honest.
If you've been around the cdrama block, this is pretty usual for a Wuxia, it definitely takes time to set the story, a whole ton of characters, some side quests, acting all silly for a while before it gets serious. Unless it really goes downhill and the leads are a train wreck, I'm planning to watch this one.

LITC took me some episodes before I completely fell in love with it, definitely my fave drama from last year!

Yes, I'm from Eastern Europe, so I get to watch this right before work while having a nice coffee and tryin to wake up and understand whats going on 🤣

No worries, I don't really have any friends in real life to talk about cdramas, most of them are kdrama fans so it's nice chatting ;)

Lol, we definitely gotten used to it ahaha, I haven't watched today's episodes yet, but by ep.7 it has certainly gotten better. For me there are different levels of ''testing out'' a drama, sometimes you kinda know from episodes 1 that this is not it, but in most cases it need like 6-10 episodes to fully decide if this will be worth it. Hopefully this one is going to get better and better 🤞

I get you, I try no to read the novels before watching the drama because it is usually a disappointment. This one airs for me at 6 am so I'm kinda half-asleep at that point so I need extra brain cells lmao
Hahaha girl, no worries, nice talking to you too!!😻

Thank you 😻

There are so many factors that make a drama work for someone — your mood, your headspace, the cast, your personal preferences — so I can’t really argue with any of that.

At the same time, I’ve seen a lot of recent dramas get huge praise while not necessarily leaving a lasting impression, whereas this one is being dissected from every angle. So I figured I’d share my POV too 🙌

The comment section is pretty split over this drama, so here’s my mildly chaotic two cents.

I’m almost done with episode 7 and I can’t lie — it’s making more sense now. Either my brain adapted to the lore dump or the show finally decided to breathe. Hard to tell. I’m remembering the side characters, I’m following the main plot, and I’m no longer squinting at the screen like I missed a secret council meeting.

Is it perfect? No. Does it feel slow and overloaded at times? Yes. But is it the unwatchable disaster some comments are making it out to be? Also no.

I came for romance. I stay for romance. I’m simple. The leads’ dynamic is working for me, and the ML already being slightly possessive? I’m seated. I’m not dissecting every clan grudge or lineage detail — I’m just enjoying the ride.

Obviously, different people watch for different reasons, so there’s that.

Yeees, definitely information overload 😹
Lmao I had the same issue at first — especially since so many of them have similar hairstyles and outfits, which makes it harder to tell everyone apart. It does get better as the episodes go on, though. I’m almost done with episode 7 now and I’m remembering the side characters more easily and following the main plot much better.
Not sure if it’s just because I’ve gotten used to the chaos or if the story is finally settling into itself… maybe both. The leads do love jumping into side quests before we’ve fully processed the main one. But I'd say I'm 10-12% more invested now ahahaha

Thank you, hope to see more of them in 2026 ✨🙌

I get what you mean — the previous generation arc did feel more emotionally anchored, though it definitely had events that happened off-screen, not always in line with the ‘official’ history we’re shown ( at least that's what I'm getting). The current one still feels like it’s arranging the board, leaving a lot of in-between events for us to guess at. I’m also hoping it tightens up from episode 6 onward.

Haha thank you fellow co-certified skipper 😁
I'm glad I'm not the only one lol, I would say editing wise, the random slo-mo sequences are the ones that lowkey bug me the most, otherwise it's pretty good so far, hope it will gradually get better and better 🤞🤞🤞

After watching the first five episodes, I can definitely see the potential. I also understand why some viewers are frustrated with the pacing, editing, and the sheer number of characters being introduced. It asks for patience.

Personally, I’m enjoying it — but it doesn’t quite have me in a chokehold yet. More of a steady tug than a death grip. The first five episodes somehow felt longer than five, probably because you actually have to pay attention. This is not a “skip-through-and-vibe” kind of drama. As a certified skipper, I had to behave.

I really like the leads. The FL’s character is clearly and thoroughly established from the start — she’s not a pushover, she can fight, and she has a strong moral compass. That foundation feels solid. The ML is clearly fueled by hatred and revenge, but I like that he’s soft toward her almost immediately — without it clouding his judgment (so far). I’m still trying to fully read him.

I can see why it’s called G2G — the previous generation’s drama is clearly bleeding into the next one. Inherited grudges always make things messier.

Cinematography-wise, it’s beautiful. Some shots are genuinely stunning, and I love how much they use natural landscapes.

yeah, I was mentioning in an earlier comment how this reminds me a lot of TD style of shots and even dialogue and I just looked it up it's the same director lmao🤦‍♀️

It really depends on your preferences. I’m on episode 4 and enjoying it so far. There’s quite a bit of setup and character introduction, but that’s pretty typical for wuxia. The leads are strong and compelling up to this point.

ah ok, caught me off guard tbh can't say I'm a fan of such style but oh well

bro is my platform lagging or are they having random slo mo sequences?

Oki, watched the first 2 episodes and I vibe with it a lot💜💜💜
There is still a lot of setup going on and I LOVE the FL's character, cannot get a full read on the ML's angle yet, I don't think he's the real CN, but it's only ep.2 so we're supposed to be in the dark. Some shots remind me of The Double, like the filming style and some dialogues.

Anytime 🫶

Haha, thank you so much! Glad you had fun 🫶🫶🫶

I'm so bummed they didn't include this in the drama(((((((

I try to subscribe to maximum 2 platforms at a time every month based on what is airing, because otherwise it's getting pricey haha.
For example Generation to Generation starts airing tomorrow on WeTv (for US it's called Tencent I think) and if they don't block it in my region, I will subscribe for the month because judging by the trailer and clips it's gonna be a blast.
I know that sometimes you can get discounts for annual subscriptions. But for me personally it's not really worth it to have annual subscriptions because a lot of shows are region blocked ( I live in Eastern Europe) and I had a lot of times when I paid and still couldn't watch the content, plus I had an annual subscription for Youku last year but only ended up watching like 2 dramas (altough both ended up 10 for me lmao) still, it was not worth it for me.
I would say I have the Viki and Iqiyi more often because I prefer them for subtitles and interface. You can try out watching How Dare You for example because the first 5 episodes are free, just to get a feel of it.

Thank you✨
