Watched POB, TSOPG, TLB, AJTY, and out of all his dramas, this is Liu Yuning best role. Like Nan Heng will always hold a special place in my heart. And so far, out of all the dramas that aired this year, this is my favourite so far.
THAT WAS THE BEST EPISODE SO FAR!!! It had everything!!! The drama, the suspense, the confession. Ning really stole the scene with this episode holding on to two other people and refusing to let go just for Wan sacrifice herself to save her and Yan just jumping WITHOUT HESITATION!!! I was already screaming by then but they pushed it further having her body lifeless. One of the best touches was the fact he remembered what she did previously and applied it to save her life.
Then he hit us with that love confession. "In this life, you are the only one I want." Eat, eat, eat. The sweet nothings in my ears. I was already swooning. I was thinking the bar can't get any higher.
It did. "Shen Wan." Like oh, we really doing this? Like okay Mr. Romantic. They could have ended it here and I would have been satisfied.
Exactly. lol. Like yes, yes this is a perfectly acceptable reason to murder-death-kill everyone.
Exactly like when I heard of all the crimes... I wanted them dead TOO LMAO Nevermind the family of the victim. I understand the righteous path is the recommended but this was too much. Kidnapping, child abuse, I'm not sure if they were censoring by saying he only brought them to "teach them talent" was a code for something else, but I was very okay with them trying to kill him.
So we have a new interesting case on our hand, we just arrived into this village but I think I already know how the killer is. It's the doctor, the senior and the reason why he is doing this is because of his wife. He needs to find a cure for her or she gets to live longer by having all these people killed. The brother in law could be an accomplice but let's see how this will go. Although I'll say, I like how Wan is contemplating when Yan will reach her because she needs his support as much as he needs hers. And he is the only person she can rely on.
The Qin family is truly evil. I know the dad committed the crimes but a lot of the women were accomplice in the covering up so like I don’t like the Third Branch madam. Also the misogyny from women really do go hard in this show. I understand it’s the past so women were each other’s enemy but the reaction to the baby being a girl…. While you are the female gender… it’s a bit of a rough watch ngl, especially for the older cousin. Anyway, I hope my girl actually notices the youngest cousin. It looks like she actually have room to grow and I’m keeping an eye on her.
I like how Prince Yan Chi RESPECTS Wan. He sees her as powerful sidekick, he takes every word she says seriously, when he was doubtful about the Minister, he immediately went to read his books/work to see why she respects him, then changed his opinion of him immediately like everything about their relationship is so WHOLESOME. Like these are my two cutie patooties.
Call me insane but it always gets me when I hear the good people go like, “You would commit murder for this reason?” And the reason is like killing 13 young children from the age of 12-16, torturing them, SA one of the ladies, and all sort of other crimes…. Like yes I would commit murder too if they covered their crimes and nobody brought justice for the victims for more than 7 years. I’m not shocked that someone wanted justice! Especially if your mother and sister are involved. It’s not that crazy to me. The only time these people lose is when they kill innocent people to hide the fact they killed someone incredibly vicious and evil.
It's obvious who's the one who cut her head off (or maybe replaced that body). It's no one else except the guards. I know it's him because I'm using drama logic LOL drama logic won't allow the brother of the sweet friend of the female lead to be the killer. If they related or even to the male lead, they a victim.
Anyway, I didn't know what coroner means so I was a little surprised when I found out she is a forensic and doctor. Suddenly it made sense.
How tall is the female lead? She is almost matching Liu Yuning in height and I know he is very tall so she have to be wearing high heel boots or something.
I'm shocked by how much criticism Li Yitong is getting. She's such a talented actress and made me cry with laughter.…
I made a comment previously about POB. They aired too close to each other that people are constantly comparing and it’s like a whole different show. Personally, enjoyed both but need people to rest about which one is better. This wouldn’t have been a comparison if POB aired last year.
I don watch on Viki but are they forreal? Her cutesy persona is fun and make so much sense in comedy because it shows she is modern day woman. Fun, quirky and cute. Which is a personality type that hard to find in a lot of costume dramas.
I was thinking that man was going to be a pain in the butt. That annoying nephew, I thought he was going to be in the show for 30 episodes, just irritating us so much with his behavior but he just died? Looool Chief Ning just killed him off so fast, it changed the trajectory of my life.
Omg. Ep38 is so damn good? Remember how Harry and Hermionie went back in time with the time turner? As much as…
CGH becoming a great villain was not what I expected seeing. You called him wild and I feel like it was very good change. Had me forgetting how I thought he was extremely boring and how much I disliked him.
People who watched POB and haven’t gotten over it, please don’t watch this now that it finished airing. This isn’t the type of show to compare it with POB, it’s completely different genre because I’ve started this, I’ve seen many say they can’t see the actor with another female lead, etc and the comparison will do you zero service. You will not enjoy it. It’s best to genuinely be over it before you start this. It needs fresh eyes and fresh mindset.
I loved the blend of historical and modern language/accent usage in this. They definitely had fun with it and…
Like it’s so great and well done. It fits perfectly with the storytelling that it doesn’t feel forced because you know she been speaking like this the entirety of the show. The music was so good. I had let it play a couple of times. I was surprised to find Yuning was an ost singer for a lot of the dramas I’ve seen previously but the issue was, I can’t remember what ost he sang because I don’t recognize him as a singer (meaning his voice or him as an idol) when I was watching them. But I’ll remember him here. I’ve loved the two songs he made and I’m sure I may recognize his voice better now.
it will be good for him to take a break from costume dramas & try some genres to show his acting range... some…
He really does excel in costume dramas because he can show so much range unlike modern where it’s limited because the plot is limited. For me, looks doesn’t matter, I like a good story so even though I wasn’t wow-ed by his attractive, I’ve seen many of his dramas but his acting skills really is leagues above and makes you appreciate his craft and also his appearance. You notice he is actually beautiful. When I saw his appearance outside of costume, he was really good looking, it just doesn’t show as much.
