I binged the entire series up to most recent episode over the weekend after finishing LLTG. I don't normally bother with Xianxia, haven't liked one since Love and Destiny, but this one is so good and so funny. With the great sfx, action and comedy, it feels like an excellent live-action version of an anime.
So when exactly did CSS fall in love with LBY when she says “I fell in love with you back then” ??? When she removed the arrow, when he saved her from the fire, or during their engagement?
The actress who plays the empress really did a 180 from the role she played in Blue Whisper!
Does anyone know who the actress who plays Lianfeng, CSS's maid is? I feel like I've seen her in another rom-com cdrama, but she's not listed in the Cast section on MDL.
Or it could be LBY's own thoughts. Remember he was at the tower and drinking reminiscing his time with CSS too.…
Yeah, that montage was kind of a mess. It was not a clear line between his memories vs. her memories. Like she couldn't be reminiscing about the time he spotted her at the lantern festival, since she never saw him until he saved her.
In the flashback montage, we hear LBY voiceover with the line that was also heard in the series trailer something like "The emperor says I'm like a ghost, but when I'm with you, I'm alive." When did he actually say that to CSS?
What reason have we been given for why YS likes CSS besides the first encounter? He hasn't seen her soft and heroic sides like LBY and LY have. He's only seen her "scheming" side and how she gives as good as she gets. Otherwise, he's seen that she's poorly educated and has zero romantic interest in him. Is it just that he can't handle rejection?
In the last couple years, I can tell Cdramas are trying to copy HBO shows like Game of Thrones and Westworld in the opening credits, music, and costumes. For this drama, I have to give it to them on the music. The score is on point.
- 3 murder attempts on CSS
- 1 kiss
This math does not work for me.
