Anyone who watched the original Chinese version ? Would you recommend ? And are there many differences ?
The CDrama is worth a watch. Its a parody, extremely low budget and not to be taken seriously. The costumes are atrocious. The product placement is a for a Viagra type pill and so watching those segments was hilarious.
Now that I am done with this, I feel like Hao Chen/Bai Lin's resolution is lackluster. He is the ultimate boss…
Yeah, I initially took issue with how Hao Chen's story arc was wrapped up - it was so anticlimactic and seemed too much like the easy way out for the writer.
Now, I recently had cause to watch the last 5-ish episodes again and from that perspective I realized that they are all going through a trial.
Bai Lin's is for him to learning not to let fear of the unknown to lead him to be cruel and destructive there by bringing about his biggest fear.
GoW was a product of Bai Lin's trial but once she was created and had all that animosity to the heavenly realm and Bai Lin in particular she had to relearn about the good in the world and let go of her hate and desire for revenge. Which, she could only have realized after Si Feng's sacrifices.
In the grand scheme of things, it may be better for those children to be put up for a sealed adoption in a loving home where they never have to find out that such a discussion happened about them. It seems obvious that they were discussed as a bargaining chip.
I still don't understand why one person having a scandal associated with them manages to derail and devalue a collective team's effort. Shows are made with so many people, from the writers, directors, producers, production crew, the admin staff, the security, the people who provided the food and so on and so forth- It literally takes a village and then all that work and effort gets set a side because of one person. Really, that should change!
Almost 2 months later and I am still mad at how they took a great concept, characters- the leads at least and just ruined it in the later half of the drama!
I watched until ep 4 and I got bored. but seeing lots of good comments about this drama, should I continue watching?…
Honestly, the plot is very interesting with a new take on this type of story. The CGI is pretty decent too, the weakest part of the drama is the lil baby actors stretching their skills.
