the whole episode was fantastic but to name two moments: when her butcher knife broke.. You know you've developed a character that an audience love so dearly when they mourn her knife ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ and secondly, seeing Xie Zheng's face when he saw Chang Yu turn around. My heart dropped...
In many historical dramas, there's always a war scene, but none made me feel like this one. I'm sure there are great one out there, but I can't recall a time I got to see the lead see horrific nature of war and still kick some ass. The female lead despite knowing how to fight chose to play it safe for the sake of Yan Zheng, Ning, and her pig squad. Keeping them safe and coming home to her family is her top priority, I appreciate she doesn't automatically go and be a bad ass, it's not as easy as flicking a switch. But when that flick switched, omg she was sooooo cool!
The cinematography of the whole scene was so beautiful and intense. It felt so real, slightly exaggerated, but I'm not complaining. People flying, dead bodies, fire logs, it was just intense. I loved when the flags moved aside to reveal the pig butcher squad just reeling it all in. Then when they are forced to help, it got even cooler. Not just Chang Yu, but all the hooligans were cool. I like how their fighting style was rough, like they haven't been trained, which I'd expect. Shout out General Xiu Wu as well, he was dope.
But the coolest of all was Chang Yu, what a well choreographed fight scene. Her tiny self with her knives, and goliath with his big ass hammers or whatever those were! She fought the only way she could to take him down. So entertaining, I usually don't give a crap about fights but they did too so well, I couldn't help but admire it.
Yes she acted on her own without seeking permission from the higher ups because she knows nothing about military…
Yea, I don’t hate her for it because she understands where she was wrong. She has good intentions, it wasn’t completely foolish, she did put thought into it. This is just part of her character development!
Also can someone share the link to English novel, what chapter does that trending clip where he kisses her when she is drunk happen. She calls him Marquis lol, I need to cope with not being able to see that for like a week I assume ðŸ˜
I won’t sympathize with XZ for taking her punishment, nor do I think it’s ONLY love. It’s lowkey manipulation. He cannot bear to hurt her, but he needs her to know what she did was wrong. She put herself in danger, and when she does that, it hurts him. So here Chang Yu, you got what you asked for. I understand why he is doing it, but it’s a little crazy. I’d be so upset after I find out he was the Marquis, not just for hiding, but doing that whole thing. That’s a messed up way to teach someone you love a lesson.
Usually this comment section is all love for this show and it's characters but there seem to be misunderstandings. People are disappointed by the lack of screentime for the ML, and that's fair! People don't care for the second leads anymore and just want our main leads to get more screentime, that's also fair!
On the other side, there are people who are enjoying the show right now, despite all of the above. They understand the importance of these scenes to Chang Yu's character growth. The fact that we had a great uninterrupted 15 episodes with our main leads, and can spare time to the second leads. The fact that our main leads are currently separated and the story must go on, therefore filling the space with other important scenes.
The thing is, I'm sure the people disappointed ALSO agree with this stuff, well most of it (second-lead stuff is tiring some). They just miss our main leads together. I think all the teasers we are seeing definitely aren't helping. I know for a fact it ain't helping me.... I need to get off tiktok lol. Everyone here seems to unanimously love Chang Yu and are enjoying seeing her become a more refined Jade, one that can stand confidently next to Marquis Wu-An. But they also want the ML.
People consume media differently. Some enjoy the fluff, the angst, the romance, the politics, all are fair! I do have favourites, but this show is hitting the benchmark for ALL of these in my book, which is why I'm not upset. Rather than waiting for something to happen, I'm just waiting for the episodes to release... feel me?
A post about the meaning of names in Zhu Yu (of our favorite couple ) 🥰http://youtube.com/post/UgkxiL1IKueOF_I2K6tgwlqbbXYHhFhY2E2b?si=CHM7VIm4vksmI_eC
It’s a testament to TXW and ZLH’s chemistry and how well they work together that so many are upset that the…
I actually don’t mind it because the show is still super interesting. Yes, their chemistry is insane and I desperately want them together, but as a show, it doesn’t need need them together to thrive. These last few episodes have been super entertaining and didn’t feel like filler at all. They are still integral to the plot, important for character arcs, and will make for an even sweeter reunion! But I still want them to be happy ðŸ˜
I too, love her individual growth, and story and character-wise, she'll need it to stand by his side as an equal.…
Exactly this! These last couple of episodes are so important to build her character. Just when you think you can’t love Chang yu more, the next episode airs!
Yea I thought I would want to the separation to end soon but they manage to keep it interesting and it's so nice…
Yes, I love seeing this. A lot of dramas rely on the romance or intense politics to keep it interesting. Not this one, these episodes are so important for her growth and it’s still super entertaining.
