Gone

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.

The last 5 were the most chaotic 😭

Currently on ep 2

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.

I don't know the actor outside of this role but the ending did him a lot of justice. I'll see if his future roles ever compare.

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.

Gonna be here for you Sandra 😂 for our days in ADWAD

Exactly. There is always a drama for everyone.

I’ll check in again then once this airs. You may see me here giving it a try.

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.

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.

That’s why I’m not into them too… the balance between romance and plot is so weak with modern drama. They rely heavily on the actors chemistry to make them last and Idgaf because the writing is so weak. I haven’t seen any of the ones you mentioned but I’ve seen Filter. The ridiculous plot really saved that show from being boring and kept me curious enough to finish it.

You know what? Maybe it’s due that I watch some modern Chinese drama in the mix.

I’m not the biggest fan of detective shows so that’s why I’m hesitant. They just boring for me.

Any costume of him, I’m not gonna bother reading the summary, I’ll start blind. That’s how much faith I have in him.

Are they kidding me? Costume genres done him nothing but a disservice. He been getting the ugly allegation because of them. And unfortunately, the hair has been too pulled back and the first impression made them overlook his acting.

I’m not into modern shows so I hope for him to act in more costume (of course for next year) so this is a bummer for me but I’ll give modern shows more of a chance for him. He needs to shut people for sure.

Liu Yuning is roll. He knows how to pick his scripts. I usually hate modern dramas but I heard we won’t be seeing him in costume drama for 2 years so I might just give modern drama a chance just for him alone.

Hmm not sure if I’m going to watch this one. At some point, I was going to give it a watch because of Ao Rui Peng. In Moonlight Mystique, his performance was nothing exceptional, I didn’t care for him but when I saw Love Never Fails, his acting was pretty good and I was a little bit impressed even though I dropped the show. He had a lot of potential so I was going to give this a try. The summary though… it’s giving nothing 😭 it sounds like something I don’t like so I’m wondering if I should skip this or if there is somehow more to this plot than what the summary is giving.

What a satisfying ending. It’s been a while since I watched a show and didn’t think its ending was whatever or straight trash.

Song Yitang wishing men can get pregnant, I bursted out laughing. She have always been ahead of her time since the beginning of the show.

And the fact we have all the character suddenly speaking in modern lingo was such a great touch. We know our girl Xiao Yu taught everyone this. Shangguan He is in a hurry to birth the “next female lead”, the moms divorcing, Mr. Song saying they need to chase the wives because of the “they need to hold onto them before it’s too late” trope. Like, everyone speaking funny and it works so well with this show.
