On episode 3, the drama is sooooo sooooo sooo gooood. But the constant loud background score during normal conversations between characters is just off-putting. If the drama weren't as good as it is, I would've dropped it long ago. A huge drawback (at least for me) on an otherwise amazing drama.
no, because they didn't know who they could trust or if the Wei family was apart of Chu's army massacre. Also…
This plot they created for the show, it wasn't in the novel.
Chu Yu's father and her army didn't suffer any defeat (because the Chu army actually guards the south while the Wei army guards the north). The novel is actually a rebirth novel, in which Chu Yu, in her previous life, elopes with Gu Chusheng the night before her wedding day with Wei Jun. She suffers in that life and dies. Upon rebirth, she decided to marry Wei Jun, so she didn't elope and got married to Wei Jun. On the day they are married, the Wei family is called to defend at the border, so Wei Jun leaves with his family without consummating his marriage. In the battle, everyone gets wiped out except for Wei Yun.
So, if the drama follows this path to place Chu Yu in the Wei family, that would be very taboo for her to have a relationship with Wei Yun. So, they probably introduced this plot to have her enter the Wei family to investigate the case, and probably didn't think it very thoroughly. In the novel, Wei Yun and Chu Yu not only have a relationship while they are still brother-in-law and sister-in-law, but they are also intimate and get pregnant too. All these plots would have to be removed and replaced in the drama to pass censorship, I guess.
I was very excited for this drama because of the novel and binge-watched it last weekend. I thought they did a good enough job adapting it by not making it too taboo like in the novel.
I'm giving it a 10, and I honestly believe this drama definitely deserves to be rated above 8.0.
He married someone else but in name only because he is going to die and didn't want her to mourn him. It's kind…
Btw, ML of Last Immortal is Ancient Love Poetry ML and FL's son. At least in the novels. The Last Immortal drama tried its best to disassociate from Ancient Love Poetry.
don't know how accurate the source is but i heard that FI has been done for half a year now and now only they've…
There shouldn't be any action in fire/arson investigation. I've recently binge-watched Chicago Fire tv series, which largely focuses on firefighting, but they started to lean a bit into fire investigation from season 7 onwards with one of the main leads. Fair to say, there's no action in it. Just investigation, and that in itself was actually pretty interesting Especially since I was getting tired of all firefighting, and fire investigation part just tells how the fire started, and who started it.
I’m on episode four and I’m curious, is the pacing in this a bit faster than other dramas in this genre? (I’ve…
First 16 episodes of this drama is basically prologue of the story before the real story starts. It's all about introducing characters, establishing the world, establishing the relationships of characters. And then all hell breaks loose.
She dumps him and he gives in. He has fallen which is good but so much that she is playing him.I donno her emotions…
Huh, they don't even get together by ep 10, where are you getting the "she dumps him and he gives in" vibes already?
In my opinion, they are both very strongly opinionated in their views, which often clash, and I loved that part. But if you just want a FL who is meek and obedient (you seem to forget that they are in a warring period, with both having to consider their own factions. If she is not calculating to keep her faction in the play, would you rather she forsake her faction for ML, whom she met like 2 weeks ago?), I guess this drama isn't for you.
Liu YuNing is also in the drama as a special guest starring.Not much angst in the romance department. FL and ML…
By GMP do you mean Goodbye My Princess?
The author of that novel is also the screenwriter of this drama (there's also an accompanying novel). She wrote a HE for the first time with this story, so that's telling.
The author connected GMP and this drama. Notice how both MLs share the same surname "Li"?
GMP ML is WOL's cousin's direct descendant, but it is not shown in the drama. The author revealed in the novel, I think.
Liu YuNing's OST brought me here. Maybe I'll start this after GMP but there are so many choices on my PTW list.…
Liu YuNing is also in the drama as a special guest starring.
Not much angst in the romance department. FL and ML do have differences in opinions (no misunderstandings after they get together, only differences in opinions), but they are never really broken up, more like "taking a break" kind of thing.
This drama also has one of the happiest endings, a whole episode dedicated to the happy ending.
As you know by now. The mastermind was right before them.
Yup, that I got to know after the reveal, so I have no complaints now lol. Hence in my final comments I said, "The drama is perfect in every literal sense."
Weibo has been summoned by China's Cyber National Administration for its failure of fulfilling its main responsibility for information content management:
Xu Kai is in the process of suing all those who involved in the recent big cancel campaign, hopefully we will hear more of this. The paparazzi account who posted the gambling accusations and that woman has posted all kind of cheating, SA, r*p*, DV accusations towards xu kai has deleted their posts.
For anyone concerned about this drama's future because of XK's "scandal", fear not.
Everything is back to normal, with brands posting XK's photoshoots, and his studio posting his personal photoshoots, they are low-key confirming that XK is cleared off of all the mud thrown against him this past month.
It is really great. Stands up to multiple re-watches.
Oh, yes, I am definitely rewatching the drama a few times down the line.
I will have the drama downloaded and saved in my hard-disk (I watched it on iQiyi, but I don't think I will keep the subscription forever) for this reason.

I don't know if she is one of the best actors out there, but she did a decent job, imo.
They don't seem to have Xianxia as a genre.
Btw, can you also DM me more details on the script? Thank you!

I really hoped he would not do this drama, and while I am not really excited about it (and I probably won't be watching it), I hope it does well.
