was it the scholar(bai ying sheng) that was dunking the little sister??
I have used spoiler tags for every comment which gives spoilers - not for those which don't. If I have omitted one it was not intentional. I am usually very strict about that.
I think LJL has fallen hook, line, and sinker for RSB. The amnesia played it's part. If he had gone in without…
Hence my reference to the inherent dichotomy. Also, I didn't want to make it TL:DR so didn't say, but I meant his intelligence / experience in solving cases not his academic learning. Should he not have seen enough dead bodies and manners of killing to know what might happen to his body if he threw himself off a cliff. Yes, he is quite an arrogant young man but would this arrogance cause him to do so just to solve the death of the Yang wife? I am saying that the director (or author if it is in the novel) dropped the ball when creating this part of his character unless he is supposed to be this stupid and reckless.

Do you think that, with his level of learning, he is that unintelligent? It seems to me, (but I will rewatch the scene and maybe edit this) that he, (like all characters in drama-land cliff scenes) risked falling off a cliff rather than be killed immediately by pursuers. That is, he did not throw himself of a cliff just to fake amnesia but did it for a chance at life. If he did do it deliberately, just to infiltrate the Rong Family he was being very stupid as he risked severe brain damage / paralysis if not death. We can not blame the character for this but the director for unwittingly creating this dichotomy and making the character seem stupid.
Do you know why there are none tomorrow? Above, it says that it is airing seven days a week - so is this an exception? Right when he gets his memory back, too. Sigh.
No one in their right mind would choose to lose their memory and risk never getting it back. Also, you are saying that the 'fall' was calculated so that he would lose his memory but not become a raving idiot with brain damage. Really! Unless you mean that he needed to pretend to have memory loss so that his reason for infiltrating her family did not look fake - but 1. that is not what you actually wrote (whatever you meant) and 2. that itself would have been fake.
He may have planned to get close to her but I don't think that the said fall was part of his plan. The local magistrate / Yamen staff planned his 'downfall', (if you'll excuse the pun) because they did not want their crimes (which may or may not include the Yang wife issue) to be exposed. We never saw his plan put into action. Of course, that does not mean that he did not know that he was to be killed otherwise why arrange for his man to 'betray' him. Cunning - most definitely. There, I agree with you.
Although I understand your thoughts and feelings, one thing about your post bothers me, and that is, that there…
Thanks for your reply. Rabe himself was a long-term expatriate (30 years spent in Africa and China) with little knowledge of what was really going on in Nazi Germany. Quite possibly, had he known about the atrocities perpetrated in his own country he would not have written that letter to Hitler - let alone expected any intervention.
I agree with you - therefore your 'ya all' doesn't quite fit, does it? Also, were I to hate a drama, it being…
I just saw the 'us viewers'. I think it is because I see a lot of posts where the poster treats everybody else as one entity (usually negatively) or divides viewers into overgeneralised 'us and them' camps.
Funny how when someone gives their opinion that they likes it more than The Unclouded Soul people attacks them…
I agree with you - therefore your 'ya all' doesn't quite fit, does it? Also, were I to hate a drama, it being successful or not would not even be a consideration. I may dislike many dramas, but I have never been a hater of them.
my memory could be playing tricks now, but germany's re-evaluation of that time came late 60s early 70s when some…
ra111ster: This was probably Kurt Georg Kiesinger (Chancellor of W. Germany 1966-1969 . The late 1960s saw the rise of the student movement and the “Auschwitz trials", which pushed German society to re-examine its wartime past.
