I just checked the cast & crew list and was pleasantly surprised that the director, Zeng Qing Jie, directed some…
Yes he is a very good director and storyteller good with twists. I normally don't like short dramas but I watched most of his. Excited about his move into long form drama.
So who js jiyong ?her husband in first life.or just chilhood friend?
Ji Yong is a distant relative of grandma Cui and a top scholar in their province. She recognizes him as Yuantong the monk in her first life. He was also the kid at the temple when she woke up.
they are banned but they have sneakily been calling the first part of the drama “a dream” to help this pass,…
Actually I love Chinese censorship bc of this. For centuries Chinese dynasties suppressed dissent and social criticism via censorship and yet the Chinese found a way around it. It is all conveyed in metaphor and hidden meanings but the message is still there. Its like a voice that won't be silenced. The M+ Museum in HK has a fabulous collection of rebellious art from China through the centuries and the curators explain every piece and every hidden meaning and symbolism so well. It permeates literature as well.
Hey, if you watched the first 4 episodes can you tell me when the fl grows up like become an adult like she was…
I found that hard too but oddly realistic. How could a child go back in time and completely turn things around? That wouldn't have been convincing. I like this approach where she is forewarned and she can only make incrementally better decisions against her enemies and hopefully it adds up over time. And yeah, she is gonna lose sometimes but hopefully also win sometimes.
I am excited to watch this. I am not a fan of short dramas but this director has made a few that I really enjoyed. I am looking forward to this long form work of his. The first 2 episodes are pretty good.
I am really enjoying his dynamic with the ML. Its not the usual sidekick role. I really like the actor as well…
I think its very good to start but I only watched 2 so far. I really like the director I normally don't watch short dramas but he made a few that I really enjoyed.
I'm very curious of ml's subordinate, who does he really work for. He said he has his own master, so he's only…
I am really enjoying his dynamic with the ML. Its not the usual sidekick role. I really like the actor as well - he was the well loved Tang Lian in TBOY.
How can general Nui have so much power that he can just killed a whole bunch of people in front of everyone and…
Its hard to generalize bc China had such a long history and so many dynasties. But during the early dynasties and warring states periods it was a matter of survival for most emperors to know how to fight bc they were constantly at war (3Kingdoms, Warring States). But after the dynasty lasts several generations, each subsequent generation becomes less battle capable. There were many conquering emperors in Chinese history starting with Qin Shihuangdi, Genghis and Kublai Khan, Zhu Yuanzhang the first Ming emperor who booted out the Mongols.. etc etc
