Yes I did watch it. It wasn't bad.

Well I popped by to see what's going on. 2 blatant spoilers.

I'm still on ep 15. So no rush now to finish it. I will wait for the express package I guess.

The couple of Kdramas I was following just fell flat. This is still ok I guess because the main couple is still a main couple. I will try to ignore the evil characters since I can skip the scenes since people commented at length. Thank you for those who posted in spoilers.

Its the 18th Dec right? Guess I will find something to read in the meantime since dramaland is dry. I am not in the mood for any serious dramas. Looking for a good romance because I'm flat out with work and I want to chill at night. I think my brain is about to explode trying to summarise 60 audits by undergrads. And writing 4 reports and about 200 incidence summaries.

All I want is a main couple who can act, have chemistry and has a good flowing script. Anyone? Any recommendations? Honest query. I am half asleep heading to work at 7am and I have a meeting at 8am. Did I mention its school holidays and I have kids? So yeah I really need a good romance drama. I have probably watched some of them before but can rewatch it. Its lucky I like the directing and the main couple enough to return to ep 15- 34 later. It will be this week right?

Lrarn Chinese. Or google translate. Get a Weibo account. And rant on the correct site as an international fan.

The stand out... not necessarily for this drama has to be good directing, good lighting, good stunt co- ordinator including some good riding skills, classy costumes, good acting, fast pace, characters with enough back stories.... some good skinship scenes.

Yes. A definite ending. Most dramas are wishy washy.

Not a lot of crying scenes. From the FL. Preferably no almost sexual assault.

What else? Good CGI and for God sakes none of the fake CGI fireworks. Plus don't pollute the sky with the lanterns. The huge sky full of fake lanterns CGI are worse.

Too clean streets when they shoot street scenes.

A flowing plot. I'd take a 25% ridiculous margin.

2 nice side couples.

The evil people die and suffer before dying. No redemption.

So? This fits. So far. So yeah. Its better than most.

Oh. Good OSTs. Good dubbing. Preferably no dubbing

There is a drama that stands out? With an original plot?

Where?

The only memorable drama was Shaolin. Oh wait.. it was a series of movies. No Chinese drama has been original.

The FL always suffers. The main couple always have bad parents. Their friends always die. They always get betrayed.

3/4 of these have one of the lead die. Literally.

Almost all have open ended ending.

So you mentioned an original plot?

I am. I was just planning to go from ep 15 to 34 in one go. All this 1 episode a day is killing. Its Wed now . I am hoping that once it hits ep 30 it will be express release. Its not as if I have nothing to do. I mean work- wise. Viki is releasing ep 23-24 tonight. I am too lazy to go to a streaming site and besides I need to prepare for Cnristmas. Not much time for dramas. Looking for recipes. Not dramas.

At this point.... I need to ask. Did you guys reach the angsty points? I watched ep 15-18 casually when it first aired. I think the subs were bad. I was waiting for viki episodes when it is easier to fast forward. I have AdBlocker but it still happens when I watch it on the online streaming sites.

Should I wait then till the express package is announced? I've literally put Blossom and Brocade Oddsey on hold. BO is because its boring. Blossom is because I'm afraid of the ending.

Thanks.

I like Blossom's directing you see. I also like Song Mo's subordinates. I don't like the FL's whiney, not so clever friends. So if the show kills off his soldiers I ain't going to watch once I know the ending. That's my rationale anyway.

I was more slightly concerned he hasn't or didn't get offers to star in full length dramas.

Isn't he an actor that does full length dramas? How come he's in a web drama and his co- star is so inexperienced?

Its fine.

I know weekend dramas are makjang but some are more than others.

Hahaba. I did. It was late.

So I can't comment here. I got told off because I was posting spoilers about the synopsis. I am still pretty peeved over it. People pr trolls have been here and now that Bai is here; whatever i posted can't be considered spoilers.

It does not.

The Double had revenge and a much more vindictive female lead. And a more powerful Duke. He also used the FL for absolutely ages.

LLTG had a strong supoort and strong family backing. Plusa deranged ML.

Scarlet is completely different.

This drama doesn't even have any revengeful FL. She is just trying to survive. The male lead here is very emotionally open to the FL. The others had Mzl where you had to pry their emotions out of them.

Ah ok. I really don't think I am up for this. It sounds crazy.

Ok then. * backs slowly away. *


I wouldn't be starting this drama. Thanks. Honestly.

Fine fine. The episode just aired. I thought she died since the show is all about killing.

I was just told off a month ago for even talking about the written synopsis and I was told off for telling people that it was spoilers. I mean its the synopsis for crying out loud.

So everyone's interpretation of what is acceptable is individual.

May I have the link please? Thank you.

I just started this drama. The director is so good. The actors are so good.

Then how come its being filmed in an old fashioned style and the cliched expressions and moves? It would be like a child's play for the experienced cast.

Is it supposed to be like this? This is a honest question because both the director writer have done dramas I've watched before. Its purposely done and I wonder why.

Ah. Its sedate. I think the chemistry in The Double was more intense. However since I'm not watching it for the romance it doesn't bother me. I still like the drama but the FL's plastic surgery is distracting me.

Ah well. My weekend is almost over so no dramas on the weekday. I go back to my ebooks. I think you'll drop it. It really doesn't upset me as not everyone has the same taste. I don't have anything to watch at present. There are 2 dramas which I am procrastinating to watch. The Princess Royal and Under the Queen's umbrella. Have you watched them?

Before anyone gets huffy. The pacing is good. The storytelling flows. The acting is good but 8.8 is perfection and I am not rating it yet. 2 of my favourite characters have left the scene. Then a reappearance of someone from ep 1 is expanded. And there is no 3rd or 4th couple yet.

Lol. If you think of it as a good 7.7 or 7.8 drama. And that its ending in 34 episodes then it gets better. Thats because you're 1/3 done.

Go skip to some Kdrama. Or Culinary War for a break. Then you only have to watch ep 9-16. Then stop. Then wait till ep 24 airs then watch.

4 lots of 8 episodes binge. Gives you time to do other things. I am over at Love Your Enemy then something Lady Ok. I will come back when ep 24 airs. I have a busy week comimg up. That's why I like that its only 34 episodes.
