Man this show has some terrible editing. Not just the scenes with the ex (I know that situation wasn't intentional) but a lot of other scenes feel super choppy. Sometimes characters feel like they teleport and there are sometimes very strange continuity errors.
the ending of the 2nd episode was surprisingly satisfying. you could kinda just watch the first two eps and consider it a mini drama/movie with an open-ish ending lol
was looking at Crystal Liu's page and saw this. i don't understand why MDL keeps listings like this up. at least remove the actress from the cast list until things are actually announced/in progress. so annoying when actor profiles (especially c-actors) are littered with these type of listings.
If anyone is bored, can you give me a recap/summary of the first 20 episodes? It's been so long since I watched it I don't remember a lot of deatils. I do want to finish this but I don't want to rewatch the whole thing just to do so.
Thought reborn tropes were banned?? how did this one escape?
Blossom got around it too. In that one FL had a vivid dream but also receiced a book that had major events and stuff in it? ultimately it was pretty straightforwardly a rebirth story which was surprising. Maybe this one will also use the dream excuse.
it's not even the abrupt ending that bothered me, it was them killing off the ML's right hand man servant guy for no reason right at the end. especially cause they made the ML look dead, so the servant takes a killing blow, then ML is back on feet? not as bad as how the double did it but there's no reason for it other than to make things feel more tragic.
like wow girl you listened to the mom and son's entire convo about how theyre struggling financially but then…
I mean obviously the conditions are not what she is used to & i would struggle too, but I was talking about her being outwardly rude towards people who have no obligation to help her lol
on ep 1 and I like the FL is very flawed to start with and that she isn't a happy go lucky angel, but man her…
like wow girl you listened to the mom and son's entire convo about how theyre struggling financially but then immediately turn around and badmouth them to your friends and the place giving you shelter & calling it a dump...
on ep 1 and I like the FL is very flawed to start with and that she isn't a happy go lucky angel, but man her classist/stuck up personality is going to be a little hard to sit through so I hope she at least quickly learns to not say things out loud. I assume it will get better but.. 😅
There was already a lot going on plotwise, but I wish there had been a bigger focus on the whole thing of women having to supress their spiritual powers because they were seen as jinxes.
i think it's really funny in these xanxia dramas, characters will slit open their wrists just to squeeze out a few drops of blood. talk about inefficient!!! a wound that big for so little blood. just prick your fingers or something. or is their blood just that thick? get these immortals some aspirin.
I think MDL puts 40 episodes for cdramas by default before the actual episode count is confirmed, since afaik…
It could also be fans submitting 40 episodes info w/ little to no source just because they want it to be 40 episodes. I think people assume because 40 eps is the max, all historical dramas will be 40 and if they aren't it's because of cuts. But not every story needs 40 eps.
why did chen yan yun wear that tall hat with a pearl chain hanging at the chin? was that a traditional hat during…
Based on a quick google search, the Damao Hat (or "big hat") is accurate to the Ming Dynasty inspired setting the drama has. Ming Dynasty style is less common in dramas than other eras so that's probably why it's less common to see it. And maybe it's just not used as often in dramas for aesthetic preference reasons.
All I can say is that all the episodes need to be released. Even though I started watching much later, I still…
I think MDL puts 40 episodes for cdramas by default before the actual episode count is confirmed, since afaik that is currently the maximum amount of episodes a cdrama can have unless they split it up into a 2nd season/2nd drama.
