totally agree with you. some group of viewers/readers maybe find a ridiculous prolonged angst, misunderstanding, mistiming, misidentity, miscommunication, is interesting. but for me, i'm fine with 'not getting annoyed and irritated' while watching an entertainment, and i think drama is categorized as entertainment. what the point of entertainment if it doesn't entertaint you.
this drama writting is terrible. that's a fact. no matter how the original novel is , like this or like that. what viewers evaluate is what they watch, not what they read. the adaption process is one thing, but presentation is what give the true weight to viewers's appreciation. no blame for the actors/actresses about how they act. the director was there to direct it as his/her job, and he/she has the power to retake the shot if it's not satisfying. no blame for the actors/actresses for how long they appears. the screenwriter was there to decide. if only they've taken more time to try to see from viewers's perspective, rather than frantically try to fit a novel into allocated numbers of drama episode, maybe this drama would be better and entertaining.
it's just ... well .. a cdrama, where quantity wins over quality. no surprise there.
mayebe they just wanted to give a moral lesson ''if you lie to a woman, it would take around 8 episodes of your…
and if it's a cdrama, it would be the worst cdrama ever. although it's not entirely impossible in cdrama. there's always audiences for that kind of trope.
don't worry. looks like it will be boiled down to ''main leads/ couple have to fight against each other, then reconcile'' like majority other xiaxia cdrama. 3x first ep is just prelude for this ultimate showdown.
..... Chu Qiao did not enjoy playing the field... she was just trying to stay alive
that's my expectation ofcourse. i expect that from a fictional story, cause it's more entertaining to me. why would they have to change story for a viewer like me? they just have to accept that the story wont be in line with some group of viewers like me, and that group also might show their dissatisfaction, or write it.
and why you want me not to respond? 🤨 do you think that i would get some kind of enlightenment in watching a drama after this discussion/banter/difference of opinion?
don't have to be a final question. it's okay to post another one.
..... Chu Qiao did not enjoy playing the field... she was just trying to stay alive
not every viewers watch a drama after reading the novel. most get the story just from the drama, like me, because that's what we intend, to watch not to read. i get it that in real life love can change anytime for many reasons. but i just don't like to see it in an fictional world like a drama, where I have expectation everything is better from reality, anything can be idealized, since it's just a fiction. ML is supposed to be the first choice since, well, he's MAIN for a reason. i am looking for entertainment, not a reflection. to be fair, i just have specific objective when loking for drama to watch, and maybe it's different from another viewers.
..... Chu Qiao did not enjoy playing the field... she was just trying to stay alive
so, why then in rebirth she says it's only the ML she ever loved?. i don't know about the original novel, but i didn't get a romantic vibe of FL toward SML in PA, more like sympathy because of the situation. it would be less irritating if FL really show clear romantic feeling to the SML, so we can consider the ML as a rebound. but, still, its not quite entertaining to watch supposedly ML as a second choice or fallback.
..... Chu Qiao did not enjoy playing the field... she was just trying to stay alive
sorry,i don't think SML is her first love, more like a companion in a same struggling or surviving situation. but the writer or director just keep the ambiguity for too long, not for entertaining reason i believe.
not understanding chinese might actually be a blessing when watching cdramas because i opened threads and got…
i don't understand why blame the actors/actresses. the director was there to direct it. if the shot doesn't come out as intended, he/she could direct it (since it's his/her job) and ask to take another shot. the screenwriter was there too. he/she is responsible for what lines to deliver, and where the plot goes. Anything which not quite right with a production, I prefer to rant it toward the director first. the screenwriter is the second. but never the actors/actresses.
..... Chu Qiao did not enjoy playing the field... she was just trying to stay alive
for me, as a 'not looking for over complicated dramatic forced to be difference' drama viewer, if the drama includes romance, i want to see the FL spends more time with supposedly ML, rather than being touchy-touchy most of the time with supposedly SML. It really ruins the enjoyment of watching it. goes from entertainment to irritainment ... or annoyingment
it's just ... well .. a cdrama, where quantity wins over quality. no surprise there.
