I just described the plot timeline of Speed and Love in my comment.

i had to get this crash out off my chest again cause i was reminded now that im watching both of their new shows.....

18 years believing he is her blood related older brother.
raised together for roughly 9 years, separated for another 9 years.
A few months of living in the same town now knowing they arent blood related...
1...ONE WEEK of dating. let me repeat ONE WEEK OF BEING TOGETHER ROMANTICALLY.
ML is in a coma for about a month after a car accident then breaks up with her a few weeks after that in an extremely harsh way and then ghosts her for 7 years.
She moves to Canada to be with her sick mother and go to University for...SEVEN YEARS and every single person lies to her about ML's whereabouts. Her Mother, Father, step-mother, and baby sister are included in the lying liars who lie...as well as EVERY friend she made in Thailand but ONE. One friend who innocently mentions him not knowing he's been playing Casper for the past SEVEN GOD DAMN YEARS.

Giving Bella and Edward a run for their money.

forgot to mention, there have been multiple times where you can tell the performer was told one thing like "there are ropes/a force holding you back in this moment" and post was like "why are they shimmying? oh well, next shot" with no further editing.

It's giving...NSDAP like behavior, which is ironic. also it's literally the definition of political if you are trying to enact rules over a state...look ill even drop the definition for you since that seems to be your preferred form of understanding things. "Political" relates to the governance of a country or society, the activities and strategies of governments, and the distribution of power and resources among people.

Post production really said point A to point Z and fuck every letter in between. Logic and actual structure has fully left the building. The editing and the VFX fail to convey coherent story/plot. Correct color(in the magic) not being used to convey people moving through teleportation vs turning to dust in the wind. so later on a character has to TELL the audience that a plot point we were in the room for actually happened but we didnt see it....are you confused, cause I sure as fuck am. will I continue watching this...yes yes i will, because how the fuck are they going to land this plane? I want to know.

oh dear heavens...i dont think im going to make it.

I can love an actor/actress but when the writing is nonsensical I just cant stay focused enough.

love the actor cause he's an adorable mood maker bts. I call him Littlefoot(The Land Before Time reference, because he has a long neck and he's literally always dancing) when referring to the actor...I liked his character in Moonlit Reunion though. I have yet to see 6th prince in a role where he isnt a detestable human with zero morality/common sense. Seen him in 3 shows(technically 4 but he was just a bg character in the first thing i saw him in, didnt even notice him until like the 3rd rewatch) I dont know enough about the actor to wash off the Wormtogue nickname. like I got the ick so bad that I struggle to find him attractive and yet in every role the narrator points out how attractive he is and I 'm sat there at a loss because wdym...and Jeremy(5th prince) is such a good actor that I'm just happy he's back to work and seems to be healthy and happy.

omg...im crying from laughing because I just realized when they were introducing the princes that three of them have played 2nd MLs from hell. like they each have played characters on my permanent shit list. "Whiney Hypocite"(Shine on Me), "Victorian Wormtogue"(Princess Royal/Fated Hearts), and "Be more like Elsa and let it go man"(Love of Nirvana). 9th, 6th and 5th respectively.

can someone tell me when the time jump back to adulthood happens? im struggling to finish this one because it's just so...uncommunicative. im 10 minutes into episode 12 and it's just pointless circling the same issue over and over and over again. the mother is comicbook level of villian because she's going to the grandmother even though the end goal of the "deal" has already been met. also FL character is a constant victim solely because she continues to lie instead of talk to people who have repeatedly shown they love and care for her. also China has national insurance that would cover the majority of a kidney transplant cost so although 300,000 yuan is the correct overall cost a patient is not expected to pay that amount. so with all of this it just leaves me frustrated because what do you mean u have a singular part time job at an arcade? you graduated high-school practically top of your class and you cant pick up tutoring gigs or any other jobs? straight to blackmail, not going to your friends or your grandmothers friends for help, not looking into social funds that help the elderly/parent less nothing...she has MULTIPLE friends that have money that they would loan her WITHOUT INTEREST or violence hanging over her head. Like I can get behind a helpless character, but she's got a network of people and she's able bodied and smart(supposedly) so it just seems like drama for drama's sake. there is literally NOTHING she has done that should couldnt have just told the ML & he would have been like, "oh girl same, my mom's dead and my dad's a piece of trash, lets help each other." the writing is just not very good. as ive warch multiple shows in this genre it's even more evident.

Jewish does not = Zionist. Zionism is an ideology not a singular faith. Most Zionists are evangelical "Christians". They believe that the Jewish people need to be in the "holy land" so that the rapture can happen. This is a very simplified version of what Zionism is, but that's what it boils down to on the "Christian" side.
There are many Jewish people who abhor Zionism and there are many Zionists that are antisemitic.
So to recap...anyone can be a Zionist. Not all Jewish people are Zionists.

Editing who? We dont know her. Seriously I had noticed it before but ep 19 was on a whole other level of editing blunders.

I think i need to restart the app

anyone else watching on Youku missing the English subtitles for episode 16?

The slower paced longer arcs of 70minute episodes...I just dont think are my thing anymore. The suspense is drawn out for extremely long periods of time(or it feels like it) I like almost everything about the show, but the pacing in the back is just...dragging and not concluding. For example, what do you mean you find your girlfriend drugged and locked in a building and you dont even take her to a doctor or file a report with the police or inform her agent or anyone else around her that she was targeted and DRUGGED. Your cousin is actively trying to harm your girlfriend and your grandfather...I realize that some of the plot needs to happen off screen...but having THIS much with that much time makes characters look too stupid to live, and causes me nothing but frustration.
Is it the edit? Was it like this on the page to begin with? Something just isnt connecting.

they complained about filters so much going forward they legally cant be used...tf

This is a production and post production rant. This is not about story or performance.
Youku and I have actual beef now. Why this aspect ratio, and what is with the excessive heavy filter? It's making it so the faces look like they have no dimension and the lighting looks bad...but I can't tell if that was an on set issue or a post production editing issue. Like was the set over lit to filth or is the filter so heavy that any lighting work done on set went down the drain?
I'm having a hard time with spotting any subtle facial expressions because the filter/lighting has removed all lines from faces so only the over the top ones are getting through.
I thought the filter laws/rules had going into place like the name order, but I guess it's still not rolled out yet.

maximum 8 years minimum 6 years of her all by herself...im still not ready for tomorrow, but I need to know when and how this happened.

im caught up to episode 32 and we still arent 100% sure. Mr. Feng is headed to Cangbei though so...still plot there.

I am unwell.😭😭😭😭😭😭ep31 I'll be having some Tylenol as a midnight snack. Cried myself into a headache.

Is Princess Ling Yun actually dead? We didnt really get to see her body and everyone is just telling us that she died. With Qin Cang being stabbed in the same spot and being alive(as of ep27) it makes me question. As Ye Li's maid was 100% killed(slit throat) and Su Zhi Die, feigning a faint, it was just the Princess's men(presumably loyal men) present. We normally get a coroner scene if the death is real. so im wondering if there is a possibility that she's alive.
