I wanted that bear hunt as well. But what irritates me even more is how they made her use Sui guy to take rations…
haha, thanks, I'll add it into my tbw then, to honor the Scorpion king ;) Noticing that the FL is same as in EITDN in which she played a year earlier, following readily the sparks of Jesse Ren. Why not ?
Catching up on ep. 6 now. Very much liking it: unusual plot although I was initially reluctant about the transmigration or falling into alternate universe angle.
The 1980 period is well used as backdrop, to (re-)"discover" and show how to strike it rich there. Our young proto-capitalist Xiaolan the future student, had fun in the "Wild East" of opening small markets , counted shrewdly her eggs and rebates, applying modern marketing techniques to the sleepy village market : entertaining.!
But... she defends herself with a... (was it a taser?!!!) That was puzzling : was this a voluntary anachronism or a clue that this "past" time was not in same universe as the one she fell from, very much alike but with small differences like the absence of some people she expected to find? "The electric taser was invented in 1974 by Jack Cover, a NASA researcher and physicist" -- no idea a similar device could have been used by ordinary citizens in China in the early 1980s!!
The story gets interesting since I can't yet make up my mind whether it is plain time travel or shifting between time threads or time loop. It looks realistic but has a science fiction feeling . I don't really like the "present day flashbacks to 2015-2026" or jumping to tragic accident, though. Are they that necessary?
Zhou Cheng was so excited at her answer he cried! I swear guys like this are only in dramas..He is super sweet…
It is not the first time I noticed Zhai Xiaowen in a drama. First times were probably as Jiang Lang in FIYS, next as Liu Yucheng in Sweet Teeth. It takes time for me, but now, I'll pay more attention. He looks really sweet, eager and innocent in those first episodes and does stand out on screen.
Her teacher didn't inform her result until her aunty asked about it.What the hell she was thinking? 😐
I was wondering if the evil cousin from the across the street vendor stall had conned the busy teacher, telling her that the news had already been sent, while she evil cousin had somehow "mislaid" the results in the office, so the teacher would bear the blame if there was an investigation. But was the evil cousin a high school student familiar with the office? And the principal did find the results somewhere, how, when, is not clear.

yes lol, sometimes I'm reckless. Implied and tasteful is all fine but can end up too boring ... Implied and comedic is better.
Long ago, while LLTG had me hooked fingers and toes, I was grinning at Cheng Shaoshang being taught "tango" self defense after the bullying by the court ladies : with two arms, one arm, no arm.... 🤣🤣 Ling Buyi crashing down on her full-bodied. Implied yes, but quite daring?
That's also why way back when,I loved Fairy Jinmi (played by ebullient Yang Zi , then very much like TXW nowadays) threatening innocently to cut off the big lump down there to cure the Crow (played by Deng Lun, hope he'll be back someday) in the beginning of Ashes of Love.
Or Qu Tan'er (played by Liang Jie) getting laid by 8th Prince Mo Liancheng with a promise that she'd get the divorce she wanted.... if he was satisfied by her performance (and of course he was not, so needed repeats 🤣🤣)
Do you remember other near raunchy scenes in "serious" long or less long costume dramas ?
Since most of wuxia and xianxia and (actual or pseudo) historical take themselves too seriously, I end up liking best the totally tragic dramas like One & Only 😭 Although I'd rather POJ gets a happy end. Because this lead couple looks soooo good on screen!
should i watch ep 26 now or should i wait for ep 27 😭 i don't wanna watch if it's going to end in a cliff hanger
You might wait until end if your heart can't take some "to be continued" end of episodes. Or take the doses several episodes at a time, doing something else in between : all options are open! I'm in for every day and if necessary, re-watch some episodes to while away time before "next". This one reminds me of the thrills I had watching LLTG, mock complaining also about the episodes dropping too stingily. It was quite an experience.
The battle scene was good, but it annoys me so much that they still kept FL slim and tiny. There is no way for…
She is Superhuman, born on Planet Krypton or the Amazon Goddesses isle, something. ... Anyway, she is NOT not the village folks she thought she was 🤣 This is fantasy, not realism, and I enjoy every second of it much better than the "love games" or such ! It makes for visual amazed glee to see her tackle the giant villain like a flying hornet! (Reminiscing of scenes from vintage wushu movies of long ago).
Sigh.....here we go, something really popular and i cant get the app to work ....
Take heart, some said it took time because of ... too many connections. I trust you got in, finally? Can't reproach the drama for having too many views, can we? I logged in with a few minutes delay because of other reasons, and all went fine on WeTV my end.
The rumors about Changyu were soooo exaggerated, my goodness!!😂
But it tied in with the things in the novel that screenwriters decided to modify. Quite successfully here : the bear, the heist of supplies from right in the enemy camp... Throwing in some smashing gates ( but after the battle, and her seizing the mace to end the giant, well, perhaps SuperWoman was really able to achieve such a feat?) Easy and shrewd to write it in as "legend" growing.
No, no no, he's still injured and recovering "in his tent", right ? 😭 Though it will be hard for the marquis to claim he has a twin brother or something to continue the charade much longer.... And the SuperWoman has already agreed that if he was granted a marquis status she would be dumb not to stay as a marquis' wife 😅
hah, they got the long discussed bear in 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and much more.... Thrilling episode 26, with the end so good ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Can't wait till tomorrow hopefully with some proper kisses ?
Pursuit of Jade - romance, war and costume drama. Gives me thrills reminding me of LLTG which kept me on my toes for the 56 episodes, artificially split due to new regulations but released immediately in sequence like the "impossibly long dramas" that regaled us before authorities deemed 55-70 too long to be broadcast same year. It is not on your tbw list yet ? Very fast paced, but plenty of eye candy too.
I have added ZLH and TXW to my fave actors/actresses ever growing list. He is better than just good looking, and she is a spunky girl who surely will become an idol (already a big fan base). Looking out for her next police thriller drama "Born with Luck" which was announced to air on iQIYI March 22. (But still not sure, since was postponed from Feb. ) ZLH has two other dramas lined up in the future, plus perhaps a version of Heaven's Eternal Blessing where he would play Hua Cheng alongside Zhai Xiaowen as Xie Lian. But that one is 60 eps, and resolutely BL, so... probably not airing before the long awaited Immortality (starring Luo Yunxi and Chen Feiyu). Whenever those two will drop, they'll surely get huge cult following.
Zhai Xiaowen and Zhou Ye are starring in just released Dream of Golden Years on iQIYI which I also plan to pivot to while finishing here and with POJ . It's about rebuilding a life after time traveling back to the 1980s!
I like to vary my c-drama menus. Watching all sorts, including vertical dramas with Ma Xiaoyu and other new eye-candy guys. 🤣🤣🤣 But also following my ever growing faves list's works, even if sometimes they get released with too much simultaneity : Bai Lu, Chen Feiyu, Liu Yuning, Chen Zheyuan, Huang Jingyu, Shen Yue, Seven Tan, Zhao Liying, Yang Zi etc. While tackling also unusual dramas like Escape From the Trilateral Slopes, Man's Inhumanity to Man, To The Wonder. (for which I wrote long Companion pieces, housed in Discussions section on the relevant drama pages). Watching whenever I have time.
Yes. If I got the story right Yan Ziwei is some sort of HKger or other overseas tycoon family scion, also married abroad in Europe, so perhaps had been raised and studied there in other language(s) like English first, losing touch with mainland speech, especially in Shenzhen where people spoke more Cantonese initially than putonghua.

For once, I generally agree with her views about this unusual and not ordinary feel-good drama.
