You should watch their "Unleashed concert". Lego is slaying Fire and Dhoom Dhoom. π
Lego's booty shake at the end of his performance was ridiculous! When I first watched that, I was in shock, and only realised I was panting later on! π
I'm all of a sudden curious to find music from LYKN on YouTube. These fellows fascinate me, as they are not only great performers, (I hope we get to see some Lego dance moves somewhere along the line...) but they are not terrible actors, either. Especially Nut, who is annoying the HELL out of me right now as Jun...which means he's doing his job very well! πππ
it's good he's at least getting different partners π
I never said it was a joke. A joke requires a punchline. Humourous wordplay only requires an intelligent person to understand the humour. If you ever read The New Yorker, The Atlantic, or Harper's magazines, you would understand the humour better, I suppose. My fault for choosing the wrong venue to share my sort of humour, apparently. I had no idea it would get such a defensive reaction. Certainly was not my intention.

Yeah, I was actually playing with the word as opposed to the name and having some fun with it...that's all... Incredible how difficult it is to translate humour online even when one uses emojis which should have made the humourous intent obvious to any observant reader...one would think, anyway...π

Interesting, since in English, a 'fluke' is an aberration, an anomaly, a rare and unlikely occurrence... apparently it's the exact opposite in Thai...ππ
I've only just finished watching the third episode, and, rather than chemistry everyone keeps talking about, I just see a rude and obnoxious FL who runs around interrogating people as though everyone owes her an explanation. Why no one has told her to go f*** herself yet is beyond me, because if it were me, the conversation would be over in just the amount of time it would take me to say just that. And breaking into someone's house, stealing from them, and then offering up some lame apology does not excuse the deed itself. This girl really thinks she has the right to do and say whatever she wants and is not accountable to anyone. I don't like this girl at all, and frankly, after learning what a piece of crap her brother was, I can't understand why she still thinks people are going to help her find out what happened to him. Maybe she becomes less annoying as the drama progresses. I guess I will give it another episode or two before I drop it.
I am watching episode 20 right now, and I am flabbergasted at the stupidity of Zhao's stepmother. She refers to Zhao working in 'trade' as 'lowly', but sees her own illegal lending activities as something superior? How does she manage to work that out even in her twisted mind? Legal trade is lowly, but illegal lending is FABULOUS! One can make you rich, or at least keep you with a roof over your head and food on the table. Whilst the other one can get you imprisoned and probably beheaded. I am VERY confused by this woman's logic! π€
So I have just finished watching this and I have some thoughts. Not a review...I am not qualified for that sort of thing. I don't want anyone's opinion to be affected by my own, and neither do I have the ability to fully describe what I have just watched. Ergo, I will simply share an opinion and people can do what they want with it.
Firstly, I enjoyed the main couple. They were adorable together, and I liked their looks. As for the way they were written, well, that's a different story. A ruthless 'dagger of the Daqi Empire' suddenly turns into a soft marshmallow because of some girl he met randomly on the street? Granted, she thought she was saving his life, and maybe that's what attracted him to her. But seriously. He became smitten at once, and immediately started working toward making sure she never knew who he was...even going so far as to confuse the hell out of his already confused little sister with his constant 'You must never mention...blah, blah, blah...' Huge plothole, by the way...the younger sister never kicked him in the nuts when she found out who he really was...she really should have...just saying...ππ
The usual Cdrama trope of the woman always saving the man was way overused...but no surprises here...it's always been the propaganda of these dramas that women should always be stronger than the men in their lives and should never rely on them. Indeed, they CANNOT rely on them. The men are always lascivious, corrupt, abusive, etc...we got it all in this one series!
And the marvelous propaganda about how liberating it is to not have to think about money or position and just do the work you're told to do, have your meal and go to bed was quite a bit too much on point as well. If one were ever to forget one was watching a Communist country drama, one will be heavily reminded with this one, for sure! πβΊοΈ
As with all of these dramas, the 'good' people were all beautiful and young, whilst the 'bad' people were all (invariably male, except one), middle-aged, old, and/or unattractive.The youth are our future! So say the old men who run the CCP...but whatever...π
Anyway, the Emperor was the main villain in this drama for me. His capricious pettiness, paranoia and vindictive nature made him a menace to anyone who came near him. He would force people into saying things they really would rather not say, only to them destroy them for having said it. He did this again and again, and no one ever seemed to learn from it. Frankly, if my grandfather had been sent into exile for falling into such a nefarious and spiteful trap, I would have avoided repeating the same mistake. But not granddaughter! She goes right ahead and repeats the same mistake, not only falling , but jumping head-first into the same trap, thereby ensuring her family will never be pardoned and will also lose all of their assets in the process. But because this is a Communist produced drama, the family doesn't blame her for her stupidity and arrogance, but instead revels in returning to the poverty they had only just crawled out of. Sounds realistic to me too! π
I get that Yanxi was following orders and was loyal to the selfish, vindictive and cowardly Emperor, I really do. He raised him. He taught him his ABC's, he gave him the only parental affection he'd ever received after the death of his mother. (Frankly, I think the Emperor pressured Prince Ling into killing his wife, judging from the paranoid personality he had... wouldn't that have been an interesting turn of events?)
But fir the granddaughter of one of his victims to fall in love with him, and for the grandfather to later be okay with that, struck me as a bit too facil. I would think they would have held some grudges, realistically. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's a cultural thing that I don't get.
Anyway despite these (and many other) misgivings, I still found this to be one of the most entertaining dramas I have ever watched. And if one is willing to shut off one's common sense and simply indulge in the fantasy, one can truly enjoy it as much as I did. βΊοΈ
I don't know to whom you are referring. The only octogenarian that I am aware of who is worth 'shipping' is Yan…
Just finished my third viewing yesterday...I can NEVER get tired of watching this series! I'm actually looking forward to watching it yet again, as soon as I have the time...π

I tried to like the Grand Priest, I really did...it's evident that the writers wanted us to come to like him, and so I tried. But I just couldn't get out of my head the idea that he killed so many innocent people with zero remorse, completely convinced it was the right thing to do.
