Gone

I feel like I didn't quite enjoy it but neither did I hate it. I find it quite interesting that people in the comments kind of missed the strange message. Because people tried so hard to find meaning and closure about what these "creatures" were. Why do you think Jinsu made that big lie and why do you think it worked? Because everyone wanted to know why these demonstration happened just like the viewers wanting to know "why". The world ended up structureless with 4 different types of ideology like Arrowhead, New Truth, Sodo or Government. I'm sure there are people with zero association but most follow these four and that's what cause it to be a lawless zone. Everyone wanted to rule the other. They wanted their vision how the world should be THE world.

Either way, I give this 6.5. Solid but needs S3. I'm curious to know what caused each resurrected to have special power. I think it have something to do with fear or desire.

She was phenomenal in Moving, not sure what she is doing here but maybe because she have less experience or it could be because the writing is just tragic for her here.

I remembered I never got to finish this show so I am rewatching it. First 5 episodes some of the strongest, like every episode was a finale and the writing was so amazing that I'm shocked I never finished it back in 2016 but then I reached ep 7-9 and now I'm struggling to continue just like before because of the awful romance. The romance is downright pathetic and the self pity is making this bad. They ruined half of the show the moment the FL biggest concern is romance while everyone else lives are at risk.

Ep 9

I'm liking how Duanwu is becoming more and more like Yan but even though she can read and understand his moves three steps ahead when she really puts her mind to it, Yan plans ten moves ahead. I'm not falling for his trap. Account Wei death's is likely to be fake, he is colliding with her to corner Cui's family into the deepest hell. Their greed knows no bounds, they'd didn't realize they digging their own graves and I know he is counting on that. All his moves are calculated but despite that, I'm liking how Duanwu is still a tender girl who isn't planning anyone's downfall, she is just planning how she can thrive. Either way, I'm curious to see what she will become. I feel like the only way she can be vengeful like Yan is if Shrimp passed away.

Ep 5

My girl really need to suffer to learn how to survive. While the concept is the harsh reality, I hate it because it kinda rewards or should I say take away accountable from bad people. In this case, she got set up by someone from our "team" and she got whipped, redeemed herself yet he STILL wanted her punished AGAIN? I usually like mortally grey character but I'm not feeling him so far. I know he is trying to increase her convictions, teach her how to maneuver out of the situation on her own and fight against all odds, I'm not dumb, I see the set ups. And in a way, I can accept the lashes and the option to redeem herself because it teaches her something but giving her another punishment? It feels like he wants her life to be hard just because his life was hard. She was literally raised a slave. She define the meaning of struggle. People don't need to always learn things the "hard way".

Anyway, I went off a little rant but I'm here for my girl only. She the only thing keeping me watching because despites all odds, the writing does push you to support her as much as it can and it's working.

I've watched two episodes and her friend is such a coward. Like you are in that solidarity together and she was vouching for her every single time, taking all the dangerous tasks to free both of them yet she caved so quickly over a rapist? Duanwu didn't even kill the guy. She just framed her as a murderer for no reason. That scene disappointed me because I know she will be bitter over Duanwu for a long time that she might target her in the future over it. But it's all her own fault???? Because she was freaking out, blaming her instead of running away. I'm just a little annoyed at that portrayal. Loyalty really is fragile.

Lol so they don't have anything going on for them. I'll lower my already low expectations of them.

I don't know how old the writer is but I've seen worse writing from senior writers. It seems like the second couple are just there to fill the gaps

Please tell me the second lead couple become more interesting? Their writing is the only thing NOT on par with the rest of the show. They are just too bland not even in a good way. Maybe they're just too similar so their dynamic is boring but I do believe it could have been more interesting than this.

EP 12

Mu Sheng thinks negatively about demons and really doesn't give a fk about them but the moment she speaks positively, he MELTS! It's so adorable and I like how she absentmindedly talks well about them because that shows she isn't thinking about it. I love this couple

EP 11

"Who allowed you to harm her." And I screamed! Like the way he just took off the restraint. It wasn't long ago where he would rather DIE than take them off but he did it without hesitation for her!!! He really couldn't stand seeing her get hurt. And when she tied his hair back, that was a moment.

Yea, I've seen 16 episodes and that role doesn't suit her at all. She is unable to pull off a role like that with her skills and probably baby face. Although I believe no matter how baby face you are, you can still pull it off, she is just not there yet.

I heard Dylan Wang isn't a great actor lol but he was great in that specific role. I haven't had an opportunity to see him more beyond that because none of his projects interest me.

Ep 8

LMAO when she thought the rating was 85 percent. I knew it was too good to be true because it was too big of a leap so quickly. Those little dust demons putting in that point in the middle had me laughing. Even better, when she swore she would never do anything to increasing his favoribility and will give him the mean face just for that to work too well. He likes it when she is mean to him huh? He likes it rough. I feel like a school girl giggling because it's funny but also finding it cute at the same time.

EP 7

This was a good episode!!!! I feel like Mu Sheng's favorability wasn't increasing beyond the negatives and zero because of his secret. He trust no one and doesn't care about anything no matter what the circumstances are. So when she found out his secret and did not fear him despite the fact people usually do, and REFUSED to let him die against all odds... I feel like this is the moment his heart will open up! I can't wait to see the next episode.

I don't really judge by the start of the drama, the rating never truly reflects the drama like The Judge from Hell when it had low ratings at the start or My Demon when it had such high rating for such a bad drama. I'll check how it does by the end, which reflects better how the public liked the drama and even if it got low rating, I'll still watch it since I already decided to do so.

The judge of hell also started with low ratings but jumped a lot by the end. So I'm assuming people are just rating it low because it's just started so I'll give it time to see how much it's growing. Yesterday it was 8 but today it's 8.1 so it's already seeing an improvement.

I'm not asking you to change it because I doubt you will be watching many of her dramas now.

I wasn't a fan of the writing direction on her character in LBTFAD on the 2nd and 3rd arc and I never finished it because of that Journey to You, she wasn't great or bad... she is just there. I feel like she was a miscast but in here? She is perfect. This feels like her element. Her expression were more vivid and different, she was giving something new which I really like. Most actresses aren't that expressive so it showed her acting range.

Like I'm so converted right now! I want her in my pockets too!

If you are a fair person then you should be aware that this behaviour is exclusively known in the Chinese drama community. Actresses like Esther Yu, Bailu and Lusi have fans who pit the actresses against each other and they rate their dramas low or give negative review because for some reason, the fanbases are competitive in the worst way possible. In Kdrama, this won't be seen as an odd behaviour because no one does this. Kdramas only behave similarly when it comes to a show that have a pairing and they prefer one ship over the other. Although that's a rare case that I've seen happen 4-5 times but in different years. It's not like the Cdrama fanbase where this is apparently so frequent but it's not about the drama but the actresses themselves. I'm going to assume you realized by now what you like or may not like so self awareness will help you in the long run since you rated so many of her dramas a 1. There will be more people in the future who will notice.
