So the Marquis' son is trying to protect his half brother, that's why he had him removed from the dangerous position…
Yes I think he’s playing the hedonist role because he sees through his father. Qin is attention starved and supports his father it seems almost blindly, but the legitimate son knows his father’s true character…
Also I just want to say, when has it ever been a rule the ml and fl must fall in love at the same time/have the…
Yes and sometimes the longer you spend time with someone, the more you fear their disappointment. She does love him, but she’s afraid. The conversation about the bird shows her mentality I feel.
As someone who is absolutely terrified of monkeys, I feel this drama resonates deeply haha.
But speaking seriously, I appreciate the multifaceted approach the drama takes towards mental health. Ye Li can help her SIL face her demons, but can’t see her own. Brings to mind the phrase “physician, heal thyself.”
I can’t even imagine the horror she faced on the mountain, especially at such a young age. Children have the ability to fragment their personality in order to cope with trauma and I feel like this is a representation of this. Qingshuang was a real person, but also is herself as a child. She gives her the care she craved I feel.
Half sister has negative brain cells but at least is comic relief.
If you want Word of Honor meets Mysteries Lotus Casebook, then this is the perfect short drama! Well done and very beautiful. I love everything YZX acts in and this is one of his best shorts I feel.
those who already rated it are probably haters or people who dropped the show halfway through
Most Douban ratings are from the first 6 episodes/ on the first day of airing. It’s a pattern I noticed on almost all dramas. If something doesn’t have a ‘perfect’ start, the ratings are always cooked.
wdym they got him in this kind of drama???? The drama is good and is well loved. He loves the drama too. Why do…
It’s very enjoyable! I like that he’s choosing more unique scripts, this screenwriter is solid and the director is impressive too. I really like that at the core of the drama is the question, do we love for who people really are or for who we think they are.
Here it’s me posting about Xingjia again, but he’s such comic relief haha “don’t spoil Master Zhou’s beautiful face!” Then smashes him with a basin lol. Also Guanyue playing fortune teller was so funny. Guess my favorites are Uncle Lei, Guanyue, and Xingjia now.
This is a silly take. And clearly misunderstands the show. She clearly likes him. He knows that. But she doesn't…
I see your point, I thought he was supposed to be a bit crazy as he had such a traumatic upbringing ( I never read the novel so have no clue how his character was there) and as such I found him really interesting. I see the point you’re making, I just thought it was the intention of the screenwriter to make the character more conflicted.
This is a silly take. And clearly misunderstands the show. She clearly likes him. He knows that. But she doesn't…
Everyone has a right to dislike a character etc., obviously, but I think it’s a bit too much to insult the writer. Multifaceted and even hypocritical characters are appealing to some people as they like to project or escape from reality. I really hope nobody thinks fictional characters are supposed to be written for people to imitate…I can only understand your argument against the writer if you think that way, but that seems a bit obtuse.
Side note but I’ve always hated the whole “childhood sweethearts make the best lovers” idea and am glad this drama is showing that it doesn’t always work out. Maybe I’m biased because I’m 100% certain my poor husband would have never married me if he grew up with me lol but luckily I was across the ocean.
Because they give a low overall rating. If you want, you can rate each episode one by one. I do the same. This…
Yeah I don’t understand the hate towards it at all! Even my usual favorite blogs on tumblr were bashing it (I know 90s born here I’m so old I use tumblr still lol)
Well, I have to correct myself, it seems that Song Yuzhi is innocent. But Lei shibo... If it's him, I really didn't…
But you know it would make sense because he knew exactly how to heal the poison in MQ, so perhaps he was behind the attack at Chang fort. Also his nonchalant style matches the typical demon sect styling lol He’s still my crush though!
This drama is very well shot and directed. I feel if you read the synopsis you shouldn’t be surprised by the subject matter. Not all demons are wronged heroes in disguise, I like that the Jade Waist servants aren’t whitewashed to seem perfect. It’s a unique way of storytelling that is perfect for a short drama format.
