All the episodes dropped at once today. Wow, this drama kept me hooked from beginning to end. I have to say it's…
I agree, it was quite a thriller besides a romance, and the main song is still in my head. Also 9/10 for entertainment from me (not 10, because it is not a total masterpiece since there are minor glitches pointed out, in editing, plot etc). Well, since I'm lenient and liked the time spent on that short episodes series nonetheless, the chemistry, the emotions, .... I'll up it to 9.5, not that ratings count that much on MDL but 7.7 is too low ;) I am waiting with curiosity for the "live meeting with overseas fans" advertised by WeTV scheduled in a few days. For once, WeTV showcases the 9 dramas DGZ features in, on the app, although the "competition" to watch does not offer free watching.
As always, a mega good performance was to be expected from both. The supporting characters were annoying. But…
Kris Wu got 13 years in jail in real life for his underage raping case+ deprivation of citizenship & a suspended sentence of expulsion to be served once his jail time is ended. China has strict laws, and multiple offenses add to the punishments, although the death penalty is less frequent (I read somewhere the 42 reasons for death penalty were reduced to 27 now). But murder and attempted murder the way that "doctor" did, he could have gotten himself life imprisonment, especially since there were repeat instances and other offenses to add there.
Criminal Law of China Chapter IV Crimes of Infringing upon Citizens' Right of the Person and Democratic Rights (http://www.npc.gov.cn/zgrdw/englishnpc/Law/2007-12/13/content_1384075.htm) : Article 232 Whoever intentionally commits homicide shall be sentenced to death, life imprisonment or fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years; if the circumstances are relatively minor, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than 10 years. The sentence for the rotten character in the drama was not only for "attempted murder" on Bu Yan's dad, to land him with 18 years in jail. Other offenses piled up.
So far... Two people.. A painting, statue, alpaca...
yes, my mistake: I went back to check ep12: they were a stack of imaginary blue storage boxes but my mind got stuck on last view where SCC "wiped down" the illusion with a gesture as if she were Mary Poppins :) So many moments that evoke beloved cartoon characters or movies blending live action and cartoon ones. Lastly, ep.14, the rainbow from the Wizard of Oz. Not that SCC "summoned" it, but the scene had a feel similar to Dorothy wistfully wishing to discover what's over and beyond the rainbow.

I seem to remember she pushed it away like a door, so I thought "wall", but there were perhaps also piles of boxes. I'm sure we missed listing other small additions, since start of this delight. The walking tree already mentioned was as ominous as a nutshell Birnam Wood from Macbeth and as hilarious as Tex Avery cartoons !

Explanation. Sadly, ML character died but someone looks like him. What could happen next is up to imagination. The FL has regained her position and power and the villains are dead or out of the way. History moves on from 1930s warlords period ("Minguo" Republican era) to more modern times.
The characters played by DGZ are too often "killed off" (likewise those by Liu Yuning in regular length dramas) which is infuriating for their audience - but as fans we won't hold it against him/them if the drama thrilled us ; personally, I don't mind either SE, OE or HE endings.
Chen Fangtong has lovely curvy visuals, a sweet smile that is almost unique to her, slightly cross eyed but that does not make her ugly in my view; am appalled by those who disparage her for her face.
I too hope to see them again in future dramas, as long as they don't get shipped "together" in real life: both DGZ and Chen Fangtong are good actors and colleagues, that's all. It's not easy for them to get longer dramas, although Dawn Chen did play a longer one, A Talented girl ... last year but unfortunately I stopped at ep16 (perhaps I will get back to finish someday,I did not hate it, only something came up, and I was only mildly entertained, not thrilled to the point of raving about that script). DGZ has had hits (and miss dramas) with other leading ladies too. I usually am tempted to give a drama a go if I spot either of these in cast, although not following to the point of waiting for their next drama, or actively exploring their fandom and checking too often their social media. Still, both are in my increasingly big "virtual book" of c-actors and actresses noticed or to follow.
In this "short dramas" category, I also was impressed by Jesse Ren, from "Embrace in the Dark Night" (an over-the-top but exciting sizzle thriller) who will also be back with more soon I think, and by Richard Li + recently by Ryan Ren and Li Xingyao (they kept fires stoked despite a terrible script in "Love In The Edge of Divorce").
Currently watching - The First Frost (Bai Jingting and Zhang Ruonan in a romance about Sang Yan, the brother of Sang Zhi, who was the FL character in Hidden Love; regretting that delightful Zhao Lusi and Chen Zheyuan could not reprise their roles in the scenes where they are supposed to interact with Sang Yan. But ZLS & CZY would probably have out-shined the leads, even in "support" or "guest" characters which is well past their level in careers, so production chose very unremarkable actors to play these roles in TFF.... I read the book, so no surprise there for me, just curious; ZRN does fit the role, but the development in drama version is very very slow, making me doze off halfway in episodes! even with the addition of a gopher lady and a dog now!) - Filter (starring Tan Jianci and Li Landi in a very funny, sometimes deeper than it first looks, drama with a fantasy twist that allows FL to change her appearance to more than just prettier faces. It's been my go-to laughs pill for the day since it started and I highly recommend it!!) - Rainkissed Fate (well... it's still airing and it's Dawn Chen + DGZ, so don't want to miss it, hoping for a HE despite the new complication with the awful doctor!)
posses ???!! wdym "most of the people here seem to be posses" ? 🧐 The heartless villains employed by the awful…
Oh ok. Understood now... Although imho, characters like TQ, SCC etc, are often funny, adorable, but nobody would seriously bother analyzing their IQ or EQ or MBTI or whatever. The show is using common tropes in a smart way, so we audience do not get bored (I hope no-one here is bored?) and is totally worth one's time for entertainment before being inflated and over-analyzed about its worth as "moral guidance" (although it is not totally shallow either).
Anyway, episodes 11&12 were my laughing potion for today. So moving on to other stuff, before I get back here tomorrow. Have a nice time until then!
totally from my pov. It is very funny, quick paced, with some serious undertones but not so ambitious that they become tedious. And there are some unexpected references strewn in to spice it up for those who spot them. Also: the release is steady, with no days off to annoy audience, so the wait for next episodes is tolerable.
I must say this plot is a mess, too many misunderstandings and most of the people here seem to be posses very…
posses ???!! wdym "most of the people here seem to be posses" ? 🧐 The heartless villains employed by the awful Guan to hunt TQ and FJ banding together as posses on the hunt for bounty ? Audience here show a low of empathy for the cartoon characters, esp the one frequently masquerading as bush, box, wall, alpaca or whatnot.
