Both of those scenes were too cliched 😠Jarring given there are other parts that are so good
Like even if still cliche, it would have looked so much better if she was like "is that chen yanyun?" and then was stepping foward to get a better look and fell suddenly because she slipped on the edge of the platform.
but no, she was standing still staring straight at him, suddenly looked shocked, kicked up her leg and fell in for no reason.
i have mostly been enjoying this so far but the scene where she fell into the water during ep 9 just made me bust my gut laughing. it was so bad. she's just standing still then swings her leg up and falls in the water for no reason. you can't even call it tripping.
unless they reveal she did it purpose, even her being pushed by someone wouldn't make up for how goofy that looked.
Lu Yunqi's near complete 180 degree turn around was super disappointing. He was too big of a threat to the leads to be allowed to just continue but they couldn't kill him off because he needed to be a witness so the writers made him just "oh ok i guess i'll stop being completely unhinged and terrible now". Would have been better if he just went completely off his rocker. his ending was too forgiving for all the horrible stuff he did.
is there a lot of romance in this drama? and is it slow paced?
Romance is not a main focus at least up to ep 14. They technically get together quite early and they are quite sweet together but there are not a lot of romantic scenes. It's more like slice of life with some occasional romance sprinkled in.
The ML's co-worker's death made me nauseous. No dramatic slo-mo of the characters seeing it fall and pushing the other out of the way or even seeing it at all. Just gone in instant. I appreciate that this show isn't complete fluff but that felt a little realistic for me.
Something I like more than the novel so far, is that the ML is a bit more emotional and feels more like a real human, and Zhang Linghe tends to bring an air of sass to these types of characters that I appreciate lol.
If it was novel accurate, you'd see almost no expression ever lol.
Plenty of other sites have gone down. GP is way more careful. piracy sites get nuked when they become recognizable.
