That ending just stopped short of the tragedy in Luoyang. I thought it would go that way( the ending and my rating)…
Yeah there is definitely progress here but it is still not quite there yet. But the ML is really something else, I started low key cyber stalking him even though I am super busy this year.
Ty for your kind words. So far I still think Sparrow was the best Republican spy drama despite the atrocious FL…
The Disguiser is pretty good but Sparrow IMHO is much better. Its high rating is due to the NIF cast and Jin Dong really shines in it but I think Hu Ge was miscast. Its worth watching just don't expect too much. Like Sparrow second FL is way more likeable than FL.
Give it another try recognising that Young Blood does drag in places but there are some good twists in it as well. It is an ensemble cast as opposed to JOL where it is all about Fan Xian, which is a role on ZRY could have pulled off so well. It is also much lower budget and the cast is greener but they all acted their hearts out. Of course it is far from another JOL which is one of those unique and memorable dramas.
Enjoy and do let me know what you end up thinking of the Disguiser and YB if you give it another shot.
You made the lol with your review. Thank you so much! Your description of the female lead is what I felt when…
Ty for your kind words. So far I still think Sparrow was the best Republican spy drama despite the atrocious FL bc to me the second FL stole the show. The Rebel is also pretty good but also has an incompetent FL And as you point out, it also begs the question of what was achieved.
I think the period spy dramas are better and I loved both Joy of Life and Young Blood. They are both written by the same screenwriter who also wrote Sword Snow Stride. Since I see you enjoyed that then maybe check those out. The FL in Young Blood is very smart.
Huh?? No. I watched this a few weeks ago, but I don’t think there’s any indication of that.
The Chinese subtitles also use “she” 她 bc Chen Chen just assumes Ming is a girl and YX doesn’t correct her. But when she sees Ming he tells her something like now you know my secret. There are other hints including the kiss, what his dad says to her parents and their overall vibe that is short of romantic bc he is gay.
You are of course welcome to your views, we all enjoy different things. That said, can you please cover your spoilers,…
I just watch trailers and check out anything that looks interesting on Marcus Sim updates. I avoid the synopsis and cast names bc sometimes they reveal hidden identities.
