I dropped it at some points for the harrowing torture and rapes scenes, but strangely enough went back to it- just to see how it ended. Normally, anything with humiliation and violence against women gets no more than 6.5 from me but I am giving it 7 for the power of the script: this was the scariest character of a psycho with real power that I have seen in c-drama. Completely delusional, ruthless and obsessed beyond imagination, but developed well and carried to the end with consistency. Excruciating to watch as I did not like the violence scenes both against women and men, but it made a point. Still scratching my head - what to think about it...? The leads were really good (and also supporting actors), but I wonder if this social problem would not have been better suited with the modern drama setting, just to warn people off individuals who mask their obsessive cruelty as love. Good OST. I might increase the rating as I think about it... This was not an enjoyable watch, but also a mesmerizing one because of unbelievably good production for such a short series. Starting Unspeakable Longing to erase the bad taste for Yan Zi Xian's role (regardless of how well he played I need him to be a good character next!)
How is someone who falsely imprisoned her, took away her martial arts, murders her family. then childhood friend…
IDK... A villain in my book schemes on a large scale, uses everybody and has no respect for anything. I don't disagree with you. He is a criminal and a psychopath obsessed with one person. Yes he hurts her over and over, but it's a movie/drama, so he was written that way on purpose. I had seen better obsessed and ruthless men and women in dramas. He wasn't written well. That is my opinion, and I am just expressing it here for the sake of discussion, not necessary to raise someone's blood pressure or emotions. My apologies if I offended anyone LOL. I like that actor (Have you seen My Uncanny Destiny? he is hilarious!) and I love the actress (are you watching Dawn is Breaking?) so I can see the effort, but my critique is to the screen writer for creating this.... this... don't even know if I want to name it.
keeping my fingers crossed. This is my first costume comedy with Zhao Yi Qin. Still not listed as upcoming on iQIYI in the USA but I am hopeful as they release out of the blue without much fanfare sometimes like with Unrivaled Countenance.
Liang Xue Feng is starring in at least 3 dramas this summer and I was pleasantly surprised when this title popped on IQIYI a couple of weeks ago even though I could not locate it on MDL. I watched it in one swoop as all episodes were available right away for VIP. Of all 3 dramas with LXF I liked him in this one the best as his character was more realistic than in Flower on the Continent and definitely not a powerless one like in The Lady Commander (this title is stupid, but having another Flower could have been confusing - Ownerless Flower or Flower of No Man were other translations). Interesting plot. The description of the plot very accurate. The ending: blah, but happy. I still gave it 8 points because of how complex and well executed the story was for a 10 min drama (not counting opening and credits). Actors played well & FL was very, very good portraying two different characters. There was enough comedy and romance to make it a perfect summer mini.
inmo for a villain he is pretty boring because-again- he is not a villain just an obsessed man. I am on ep 18 and already shaking my head: so much wasted potential. The writers could have made this more of a roller coaster by giving the FL a bit of a boost to do more even cleverness dance of opposites
It says that Wuliang is related content. Is there a connection?
if you look at the symbolic meta-message of the Painted Skin (see Love You Twice LOL), Wuliang could be seen as reincarnation/reunion of the two male characters.
EP 7 and 8 Iam not really a fun of the business part of the series and it took up most of episode seven so I found…
I have to applaud the script writer for this one: even with amnesia the FL's character/personality is consistent with who she was before the incident. She is now showing it via business venue activity, I think. Can't wait to see if ML is going to be the same as the Lord rather than pretend merchant.
this is so much fun! I am loving it! It reminds me of the atmosphere in New Life Begins and the ML's voice is just like velvet... very good production, excellent script and characters, superbly acted, visually pleasing. Not much impression from the OST... and at ep 7 still guessing about the culprit
I like Lian Xue Feng. He plays well. I liked him in My Journey to You (young master Hue) and thought he should get lead. So, if you enjoyed him here check out Wu Zhu Zhi Hua on Tencent or Unrivaled Countenance on IQIYI. By the way does anybody know another name for Unrivaled Countenance? It does not appear under his name on MDL... His appearance in Fight for Love also looks promising.
"The play tells the story of Ling Ruojin, a smart and resolute female doctor of modern medicine, who travels into an ancient cowardly and ugly girl, and is forced to marry Xiao Yehan, a cold-faced prince who hates her to the bone, because she was designed; However, in the face of all kinds of difficulties and frame-ups, Ling Ruojin relied on his modern superb medical skills and A and sassy personality to fight back strongly all the way, stepping on the white lotus, tearing green tea with his hands, and slapping all the villains in the face. In this process, Xiao Yehan gradually changed from the initial misunderstanding and hatred to the initial misunderstanding, to a good feeling, and then to a deep love. After abusing his wife for a while and chasing his wife to the crematorium, this young couple who married first and then loved each other finally untied the knot and promised each other for life. In the end, the two teamed up to smash the villain's conspiracy to bring disaster to the country and were awarded the title of crown prince and crown princess. A few years later, the two ascended to the throne of the emperor and queen, respected and loved each other, jointly governed the government and protected the people, and since then Luanfeng and Ming, the world is peaceful!" the text about abusing wife and crematorium made me want to skip it.
different platforms list this with different title for example A Flower in a Neverland and the original title credit actually misspelled it as A Flower on a Continnet
