Beautiful drama excellent acting best chinese drama I've ever watch the acting is phenomenal whenever Lusi cry…
Zhao Lu Si can really cry… I came to that conclusion recently by chance because I rewatched Who Rules the World and The Long Ballad…. Damns…. When she cries it is just so sad…. I feel so sad…….. 😭 like the whole world has ended…
How far are you in Minglan? Who is your otp?If you enjoyed SOM. You'll probably enjoy LLTG. It's very slow burn…
I don’t actually think it is a direct comparison to Story of Ming Lan… I was quite surprised to find out that they had the same author! The only dead giveaway was the whole female perspective of marriage, specifically choosing a husband… which I don’t think I’ve come across in any other dramas, not that I remember…. So that is kinda unique…. I think both are worth watching because this one is actually kinda a different genre…. The closest description I can think of is it’s basically The Story of Ming Lan crossed with Nirvana in Fire…
Ah also…… this one is definitely more of an emotional roller coaster vs SoML… I remembered I didn’t cry even one bit in SoML… it’s kinda different actually.
i have not watched this drama as yet but i was watching the trailer and it seems like the drama i would cry for
I was surprised I cried quite a bit…... I thought I was already immune given how I even started watching C-dramas because of the pandemic…. And I ended up watching a lot…… so I came to the conclusion that Zhao Lu Si can really cry…. Lol like when she does crying scenes they are just so sad……
Ok give me 3 distinct, and powerful reasons why this show is worth watching and not like other dramas I’ve seen…
Just to be clear because I have no idea wot genre you’ve classified this under…. It’s basically Story of Ming Lan cross with Nirvana in Fire…. With tiny bits of similarities to other series such as The Rebel Princess, The Long Ballad etc…
Based on the rating and the comments here, I thought it was a must-see drama I'd already seen 14 episodes and…
Lol. It was the same for me but you need to get to about episode 20… it was good coz it allowed me to drop it after like 2-3 episodes and I binge watched it after it ended. If otherwise I would have felt super tormented because I would have to wait….
Ok give me 3 distinct, and powerful reasons why this show is worth watching and not like other dramas I’ve seen…
1. The main leads have a lot more screen time tog compared to other dramas in this genre… 2. I think the heart-wrenching moments are at its maximum….. I defo felt a lot more twists and knots along with emotional roller coasters versus other C-dramas in this genre. Like beats The Long Ballad for sure…. Different from NiF. I actually found NiF too monotonous although the revenge plan was brilliant… NiF is basically just about Mei Chang Su, they should have renamed the series to MeiChangSu. 3. I’m not entirely sure which genre you’ve had in mind but I found this series to be quite balanced…. It defo has romance as it’s main theme…. But it is a very balanced series with more than just the ML or FL… There are lotsa sub-themes and notable supporting characters…. And the most surprising thing is…. This series is actually quite comedic…. It’s got many skits that are seriously super funny…
Not even kidding, I literally became anxious when I saw there was only slightly more than a minute left to the drama and the ML was no where in sight…. Then he appeared and the drama ended with a blink of an eye…….. and I was left with this expression….. 😳
I really wanted to come back to Immortal Samsara and LLTG but I caaaan', I caaan't! there are reasons why I stopped…
IS just turned out so disappointing. I just dropped it after the first arc…. Like it literally just fell flat after the whole emotional heart wrenching arc they put us through…. 🙄
lol. I randomly came across one of her fashion shoots with Charles Lin, looks like it was for a mag… she’s actually very attractive with normal hair. Like she looks good in modern attire. Poor her, they gave her like some odd hairstyle here… I guess it’s to suit her odd character/personality for her role… 🤣
My main issue with these kinds of dramas are that there are usually little to no down time. The focus is always…
I just completed NiF and I was left with depression, slight annoyance and loadsa angst. Lol. I gave it a 8.5 though… as much as the revenge plot was brilliant it was so monotonous and off-balance… they shouldn’t have called it NiF… should have called it Mei Chang Su.
Yea, I think it’s coz SSS was significantly shorter than JoL… so it kinda could do with maybe another 5 episodes or so to give it more fun by elaborating on the sub-plots. I’m surprised this didn’t garner many viewers though, only 6k+ viewers on MDL….
