Haven't watched the whole thing yet, but seen some parts and the first 3 episodes, and it was HILARIOUS! I'm a CDrama rookie, so didn't know Liang Jie, only knew Zhang Xincheng. Zhang Xincheng never fails to have chemistry with his costars, and tbh I like him more as a girl in a man's body. Liang Jie was also very good as playing the stone-faced Jiang Yi in Yu Shangsheng's body. Hope to watch the whole drama. And you're so right about the sound effects! My favourite one is the "IYAAAAAA" male sound and the tabla one. Thanks for your review!!!
Totally agree with you. This is more about life, not just abt the FL, but it also revolves around difficulties finding a job (Su Yang and Song Ziyan) and having a married life in which a childless married couple is pressured into having kids (Song Ziyan and Zou Cheng), neglect and also about women living in a patriarchal society. The romance part is also important at it also revolves around a big age gap in which the woman is older than the man. It's more of a feminist drama tbh. I think we are more used to watching CDramas which are completely romantic, like Meteor Garden and Find Yourself, hence people get bored. But I still loved this drama, even though I may not have the complete maturity to understand it bc I'm a teenager, but still worth a watch.
Modern Romcom or simply a sitcom would suit him best, bc he's naturally very funny and playful. Or a school campus drama too, bc he's still very young, and never saw him in highschool dramas (although MG is a campus drama, but it was set in a college).
Why would you enjoy this drama:1. If you want some realistic relationships, be it boss-employee, friendship or…
If those viewers get disappointed, then they can see the extended eps on youtube. And I totally agree with you. And love at first sight is very rare in real life.
first kiss episode 31, there were quite few kisses after, happy ending.
The ML is the kind of guy whose always there when you need him. Although Shen Ruoxin shined on her own, Qi Xiao was always there to support her in times of crisis. But he also had his own goals to accomplish. And this character of Dylan's is my favourite one so far.
that's the point of the show, you get that? age gap? you're not a fan of the storyline? fine, watch something…
Yes, the age gap was supposed to be big. In this drama, Dylan's character is like a kid in terms of age, but very mature actually. It makes sense because Qi Xiao's father died when he was six and was raised by a single mother with whom he's very close. And in the drama, the age gap is 12 years and not 20.
Excited to see Esther act in this one since it's her first xianxia. Hopefully she delivers well. Dylan ... his…
Yes. Dylan's acting was very stiff in MTD, bc his character is like that. But if you see his other performances, then actuqlly he's usually a very expressive performer, like he delivered strong performances in MG and EN2, and was very natural in TRL. Hope he takes roles which don't make him expressionless.
I'm at ep11 and it's really slow, there's barely any development between the leads. When is the male lead going…
True. This is more than just a romance series. In fact, the romantic part is more secondary in it. And the slow-burn romance is understandable for obvious reasons.
first kiss episode 31, there were quite few kisses after, happy ending.
Yes! What a relief! And when I first watched it, I instantly got hooked on it, and binged 10 episodes in one day! And normally, I'm not a binge-watcher, so this is a very good sign! Completed it in around 4-5 days!
Dylan Wang, the main actor, said many times that this character was out of his comfort zone, as their individual…
It's ok. I respect your opinion. I am a big fan of Dylan, so I follow him a lot. He played Daoming Si, the main lead in the 2018 reboot of Meteor Garden. Because of this, he was known for his "bad-boy" persona, which was there in Meteor Garden (his character is a far cry from Qi Xiao, if you were an avid fan of MG, then you wouldn't even think that he was the same guy who played Daoming Si!).
Ok that first episode annoyed specially when she assumed he was chancing her cause of romantic relationship when…
Yeah, that annoyed me too. But in the later episodes, Qi Xiao clears that she was his business partner, and Shen Ruoxin accepts that she misunderstood.
And you're so right about the sound effects! My favourite one is the "IYAAAAAA" male sound and the tabla one. Thanks for your review!!!
