Krist's character was so good I didn't recognise for a sec 😆
OMG it was really him?? I kept on watching that shaman and thinking, "he looks like Krist... if this is really him than kudos to our boy because he's so nailing this!"
At the beginning, they said Gaysorn’s mom stops giving off that special scent after she has a baby, and now…
I think the "scent" thing hasn't been that clear up to now: they randomly say that "mudan tribe" gives off this scent, but maybe everyone has a different "way" of secerning it? Feels like a hormonal thing.
I agree on the uncle: Scent's father had such a terrified look in his eyes, kinda like he was afraid of his own brother. What I most wonder is, tho': how can a parfume miracolously save a dying man? ^^'
I found myself crying at the kiss scene, Phop's confession was one of the sweetest and most honest I've ever seen and the kiss was so well made! Net is such a good actor, and I'm happy JJ didn't have comedy in this episode because they work so well together in intense scenes...!
I do have to say I can literally feel the want and need Scent has for Kaysorn (the moment the latter releases…
Honestly the plot perse is kinda cringe, and as of now so is the execution... I feel like our boys will have to do some major heavylifting to support the whole drama. XD
I have a (very bad) feeling this might become the 2026's "Oh My Sunshine Night".... just with flowers and butterflies instead of red apples.
For as much as I love PearlPeak AND my daily cringe dose of lakorns, first episode had quite some absurd moments. But ehi, as long as we get to see Pearl's abs and Peak's goo goo eyes, I'm still seated! XD
A very beautiful and touching movie, although the story had that "already seen" feeling... it kinda reminded of me some other great tragic chinese stories like "To Live!" from Zhang Yi mou. Anyway, great acting from all the leads, YYY was especially good in her faceted role... if I had to say something, it felt a bit slow at times although that helped in giving a "looming tragedy incoming" mood.
Loved it! It cracked me up for half of it, and had me on the verge of the seat for the other half! It's a fun ride with some fun kungfu quotes and a nice final twist!
This is the series I didn't know I needed - it definitely changed my mood and mental state in a time/period in which I'm on a total social/work/family burnout. Duang and Qin were such wholesome characters, and so were their friends and their story... such a simple plot, but well built and well developed. Sometimes you don't need HUGE THINGS to make the audience fall in love... just something to which we can relate to.
As I thought, now that we reached the end this has surpassed FoF in my heart - for as much as I loved FoF characters and story and visuals, it unfortunately got lost a bit while this one stayed more consistent, keeping me intrigued from start to finish with a very complex plot, mesmerizing characters and incredible acting.
I was a fan of TJR already but now I will definitely follow his every other project: he managed to create three distinct interpretations out of this role giving DragonDeity/Lonescale/JiLing completely different moves and auras. Incredible.
I saw Joseph only in MLC and I liked his acting although I wasn't a big fan of his character there, but here he really convinced me - and so did the ladies AND most of all the secondary characters. I admire how this director/screenwriter manages to bring alive even the smallest character in the story, and every character has its own important role to play in the general painting.
I was honestly glued to my seat till the end, I cried MILLIONS of tears and I even managed to never cringe in fight/CGI scenes (apart, maybe, from the final big boss fight and the sword ballista which had me a bit smiling... it kinda reminded me of Ursula in Disney's Little Mermaid original cartoon).
Anyway: I need more epic wuxias that hit like this one! Kudos everyone in the cast and crew, 10/10 for me!
Omg it's true the last episodes were airing all in one go.... YAY! LET'S GO BINGE-FINISH!
(Please Great God of Wuxia, spare my beloved favourite characters from a dramatic death! Let me cry of happiness and not because of tragedy, for once!)
Why there are people voting the episodes that aren't out yet? What's the fun of downrating a series that you still…
I honestly think Ji Ling is not really allied with Jiu Ying... there has to be a twist in this, and I think and hope everything is a plan to somehow defeat the demon for good. Also, in the last episode the "rewind ending" or the "foreshadowing future", or whatever that was, shows us different scenes with either Ji Ling dying or him returning "normal" and almost being lynched by the people... so if he's back to normal it means he gave his power to the tenth dragon (so he didn't keep the throne for himself).
Also, sidenote: please Bai Ze don't die! I can't see you die, and Ji Ling needs you! I loved his character, he was such a strong but gentle presence... but yeah... I know he will die. He has to, they said it already. But please... survive till the end, will you?
Why there are people voting the episodes that aren't out yet? What's the fun of downrating a series that you still haven't watched? Sigh.
ANYWAY Every episode keeps ending up in a cliffhanger... I think I'm loving this even more than FoF: I love the complex plot and the continuous twists between real/fake/truth/lie and how there is not one single "real" truth in this complex painting. FoF had a moment of "down" towards the late second half and I hope it won't happen here too... fingers crossed, there are still many threads that need to be connected and many characters who need a proper ending, but there is the right amount of episodes left so as to not drag nor get lost.
I keep loving the characters, both main roles and most of all the secondary stories and characters: all the great demons were so well depicted and made even more human than humans! Chang Hua Sen gave a beautiful performance as Han Ba, he made my cry so much! And I really hope Ji Ling can have his happy ending... poor little lovely fox had such a terrible life and he even had to live AGES with someone else's burden... poor thing. (spoiler below)
Character I'm least empathizing with: Lu Wu Yi. I like her but I just can't click with her.
The comparison between Duang's family and Qin's family... it kinda hit me that usually people like Duang or his mother (overly talkative bordering logorrhea, chaotic, obsessive in some attitudes or ways...) would be labeled as "strange or abnormal" while Qin's family would be labelled as the "perfect example of perfection" with everyone being beautiful, rich and successful.... but Duang's family was so heartwarming it just made my heart melt while the "fake money care" of Qin's parents was so hard to listen to (btw Lift is playing everyone's father lately! XD).
This last episode was another great episode. Duang supporting Qin... <3 I wish for EVERYONE to meet that person who can lift you up, support and care for you with the same respect these two boys have one for the other. <3
Oh and btw Qin's singing was lovely! Up to now it didn't really fully shine for me, former songs were pretty easy to sing and "basic"... but in this episode I really appreciated Por's singing!
PS - pardon me if the wording of the first part might be offensive or feel strange, English is not my first language and sometimes it's kind of difficult to translate thoughts into correct writing.
