So I started on ep 1 and finished ep 10.I know I was tired and things went over my head that I might have understood.…
And oh yeah I didn't understand the constant stream of random passing characters just to give him more artifacts. The reading, gems and pills in ep 9 totally went over my head. I didn't see the connection to ep 8.
I know I was tired and things went over my head that I might have understood. Can I clarify some things?
So its a wuxia vs xianxia but I have no clues whats the major cultivation rules
1. What false roots does he have that disqualified him?
2. Did I miss the Xing Tie dissapearing after he left the valley? He was there one minute and then he has been gone for over 4 episodes. Or was it more?
3. You know... I am used to the usual minor supporting characters. Do you or did you all find them? They are all missing from the usual cast.
4. The dubbing.Is it me or is it also softer? I know the dialogues are done in the studio after the filming but for some reason the audio is just terrible. Its muffled, zero background noise so all you hear is the softer muffled conversations from the characters.
5. Episode 2. My god. The camera work and angles are atrocious. What was with the 45 degree angled stream scene shots? Then the super close up of a minor character? Then the super fast drone camera.
6. I am not even going to talk about the CGI. That's the least of my comments.
7. Waterfalls. I normally don't even notice it in Chinese dramas but that waterfall that came out of dense jungle. Don't see a creek or river into the river? Or was it lake?
My geography was years ago. I've hiked a bit and along waterfalls and all. Was that a real waterfall or just plonked in?
8. Where was this filmed vs the usual Hengdian World Studios?
I am not even commenting on the plot, writing, CGI, lighting etc. I am just trying to like Han Li at present because I've watched some of Yang Yang's dramas several times so I recognise his expressions. I also happen to like the actress playing the FL. She can act. However I won't recognise anyone besides the Poison Girl from The Double.
This was filmed 2 years ago right? I went through the cast list 3 times just now. I am pretty sure I'd finish this drama as I heard that the novel and adaptation were successful therefore the writing or plot should be ok. However if the writing, acting and chemistry doesn't hold up it will be disappointing. I really want to find another good YY drama to watch.
This is when my real life collides with Korean drama life. Lol. This Kdrama mum wants her son to play in Yonsei university against Korea Uni. So of course I have to watch this... bad or good. It is so rare when rugby is not played that much in S Korea.
I am not that delusional. My pre-teen has already played almost 100 games. We couldn't actually find even recreational matches to watch on all our Korean trips. Thats how rarely or how few teams there are.
IMO, this part 2 is watchable but story is not as captivating and tight as part 1. A lot of happenings are like…
Ah. The actor playing the Crown Prince. I can't even recognise who it is in the cast list. Then I wondered what happened between him anf his wife. They were estranged after the baby but he looks like he is fond of her. He had other wives or was it concubine though.
I am about to start S2. I will openly acknowledge I read about 30 comments here.
May I ask some questions because I had a look at both S1 and 2 cast and still can't get the answers.
That stupid article when episode 1 air that detailed at length every plot point in S2 has totally spoilt all surprises for me. So that's why these questions.
1. Who is the Crown Prince friend's name in the cast list? What happened to him and that estranged wife and son? She had post- partum depression right?
2. So your spoilers are telling me that rebellious King's brother became the King? What happened to the CP in S1 then?
3. What Liu family? You mean Liu Chang's family? I can't even remember what happened to his parents in S1. Didn't he abandon them?
Sorry. I need to get the characters sorted before I start S2. Did that irritating brother of the 1st partner get kicked out or have less scenes? Thank you.
I paused watching this drama because I read reviews on people who had Watched episodes I’ve not seen yet declaring…
There was an article when ep 1 was about to air. The WHOLE plot for S2 was it. Every freaking scene. This is not an issue. It wil have its angst. Just watch it.
May I ask why you're writing a blow by blow explanation of every scene in the episodes? Are the subs bad? I wanted…
Nah its fine. I have been busy so now have banked up dramas. I am not going to watch an ok drama but will watch a good drama. I have about 5 episodes each of 3 dramas to watch. Then about 30 episodes of 2 dramas. That will keep me going. Enjoy your dramas. I will pop by just to see what the last episode story will be.
Tomorrow/today when the rest of express drops, I promise not to write overly long comments and instead write a…
May I ask why you're writing a blow by blow explanation of every scene in the episodes? Are the subs bad? I wanted to read but its so much of an explanation that I cannon find a short episode summary.
Tomorrow/today when the rest of express drops, I promise not to write overly long comments and instead write a…
Well you seem to have set up shop in the drama.
I've read several; more than several from you but the one from yesterday was extremely long. More than a chapter of a book.
You have scare me off this drama. I will not be starting it. A drama is a drama, anything that takes up so much brain space is not light hearted watching. I've finished over 6 ebooks in the last week or so. I am watching that Blossom drama and that's it
Thanks again for the explanation. Couldn't work out why more is bad.

She is Little Flower- which she is not. He is Big Mountain?
Doesn't make sense.
I am a bit icked out you see.
Probably another drama trope right? Some obscure trauma. Why didn't he quit the club then?

I might start this early because the webtoon said Imperial Concubine and your comments don't match up.
