The ambiguity is quite good. The answers presented in the drama may not be the real ones, the writer has presented…
Real life isn't that black and white either.. although I thought the ending was pretty black and white. No idea what everyone else is on about, but their stories matched.
I dont know what anyone here is talking about, that's through and through murder for QSQ - no "accessory", nothing. Premeditated cold intentional murder.
And just like that, one single line in the script brought me back. I think with all the plot twists, we all forgot the crux of the story - in how hard it must've been for HYH to have to tell people one by one what happened to everyone's beloved RFX. Ive been in his shoes, but I didnt have to do it as many times as he must've had to, and to have to do it repeatedly like he did, it's no wonder his mental health took a turn.
What happened? The ratings went from 8.6 to 8.1....It is not that bad. I understand some parts of the plot are…
Im not a hater, it just went downhill as it went on and defo not an 8 for me. It was fine when it started. My rating is 100% due to script and frankly, plot in general. It just wasnt a great story in the end, and i can go on for pages how it deliberately stole from half the chinese drama industry, but it was obvious all of it was in jest. We just ultimately got, in the end, what not to do in chinese drama.
Yeh nah. I properly finished it. I really liked FoF. I really like Joseph, he's actually really good at being villains in non-Chinese dramas (read: characters with wide range). But both are way out of their depth here- never felt this with HMH, and if anyone asked me a year ago who to star the sequel, I'd say 💯 Joseph. I have no idea what happened.
Funny how no one mentions they came for the first Chilam show in 3 years.. which was what I remembered about this show, and only really watched the eps with him in it. (Ironically, that pretty much covered enough for the main plot.) The only other thing I remembered about it, was that I dropped it mostly because I liked the non-protagonist Chengyi more than the one the creators wanted me to like, which made me feel ridiculous. Anyways, back here to pick it up, because after about 45+ hours of XZX a la Time Raiders, I'm hoping it'll shed a different light on this show. P. S. I think people who keeps criticising LSF as a character is forgetting XZX is 24 folks.. no idea if it's originally miscast or if that's how the novel was. But honestly, im so impressed by this guy's bio - like I dont think anyone even correlated that he's Ying Lei from FoF trying to be an evil mastermind here. 😅
I finished the canto version finally for anyone wondering. It's a much much better edit than the latest scourge of editted canto versions - still logical despite the edits, didnt affect my original mando rating. I'll never understand why the canto versions always have to be cut in half (not every HKer around the world have the World's Shortest Attention Spans😂), but this one at least, didn't run like they turned it full short drama version. Also they eased off on the swearing towards the second half, although there was still the occasional 7 bomb, I guess people just cant help themselves around Francis lol.
what transmigration can u please explain is ran fan xu alive
@sunmoonstar If you get to ep20, you'd have roughly watched this show.. 7+ times? I mean, I'm not really counting but maybe we should by now. But every ep except maybe ep18, has more questions than answers. At this point, I'd be genuinely impressed if they manage to wrap everything else nicely by the last ep.
I have an answer to the ep20 trailer... My guess is...dead, any takers for bets? 😂 Sorry the plot is grinding on me now, i almost thought it was 40 eps since they have to restart, but thank god it isnt. It's still good, but there's a reason why transmigrating dramas dont go past certain number of repetitions and seriously, it's just very very close to enough is enough. Also, random thought but if RFX ends up being the serial killer then Im going to throw a cushion at the tv. Yep im calling it first!
Ok i finished and well... it's what happens when you let writers loose with What Ifs and they come up with Throw Plot Armour Out the Window. They experimented, it didnt cost too much and the show exists, and that's that.
I just started.. but thought I'd jump in to say I always find it ridiculous when ancient drama people ask how long does a trip take while on said trip. I mean, how did they pack? 😁
Just started, but the synopsis makes WY not sound like the lead? P. S. Reading the comments and seriously, anyone calling this a patriotic preach didnt watch ep2. This is so far the most unpatriotic republican show I've seen from China, and that's in 30 years.
I thought they wrapped everything well, er maybe too well. I mean we dont really need to hear the ultimate exposition twice.
ROFL sorry couldnt help it. 😂😂
