I am a newbie so I have not watched that many shows. However, I also find the plot quite quite lackluster. By…
Many people consider it a masterpiece and it was ZLY's breakout role. I found it too long winded and suffocating but don't listen to me bc I am in the minority. The Rise of Ning is very similar but faster paced. Give Minglan a try and if you end up abandoning it, you can consider watching Rise of Ning instead.
This user is clearly not well. I don't waste a block on them though bc I just scroll past them without reading.…
Yeah once they start talking to you, you need to block them. I ended up blocking that annoying misogynist that poses long winded rants against women bc he started to dog me with his boring rants.
I think Lusi is already a pretty decent actress and her roles here were not well written enough to take her to…
"It's the ones, that don't market themselves as strong female lead dramas, that actually end up having strong female leads." Couldn't agree more. They act as if they just pioneered strong FL dramas when there have been these types of stories since I was a kid. And they are truly about women who survive chaotic times and losses of loved ones and go on to live well anyway. These latest ones all go backward with crazy ideas that a woman can only love once and has to spend the rest of their lives in mourning. They are in truth the ultimate male wishful thinking dramas.
At minimum, the script is aware of mordants (what 'fixes' the dye), that light fastness is a concern, that weavers…
Silk was the equivalent of currency during ancient times so I am not surprised there is a bureaucracy around it. In later dynasties it was essentially foreign exchange used to barter for goods and weapons from Japan and other countries that traded with China.
I really can't stand that user SHEN LI. She's so creepy with her obsession of ZLY and she was on every popular…
This user is clearly not well. I don't waste a block on them though bc I just scroll past them without reading. I mostly block people who post uncovered spoilers. The trolls are easy to spot and unless they troll me personally I don't bother I just don't read any of their posts.
Watching at 2x speed now mainly because the storyline is not fresh. Maybe I have watched too many shows with the…
Its a good light watch but not one that will rock your world. What I think works well here is there is humor to balance the angst so its not as heavy as PG.
LSS does good fight scenes in general but I didn't think the martial arts director in AJTL was good. Too many quick cuts, slo mo and posing. Part of the issue is LYN is not well trained at fight scenes, he is too long and his core is no good. He wobbles like jello and should not be in action intensive stories.
Hihi! Francis Ng and Jiang Qilin were fantastic!!! The writer wrote about his own experiences in the Trilateral…
Yes very sad. No one knows who the writer really is so I am sure some of it may be real. @Frost_edelweiss wrote a very well researched companion piece to this drama in the discussion section .
The old school HK actors all train in martial arts so they can do really good fight sequences but not that many drama actors nowadays can. The dancers spin well but they don’t look so muscular.
I believed he trained in martial arts from the time he was a child. His core strength is amazing - unlike many actors who flop around like tofu when they do wirework, his is stable and effortless. They can take long shots of his action shots instead of stitching together short cuts.
Thank you for your review. I didn’t know it was based on a true story…I was wondering how the writer did the…
Hihi! Francis Ng and Jiang Qilin were fantastic!!! The writer wrote about his own experiences in the Trilateral Slopes. I am sure some of it was exaggerated a bit but not a lot... Hopefully irl he is not a short guy that dated a giraffe during his time there...
Good to see you here! I miss those days too when we just talk about the drama instead of making drama on the thread!😅😆
Well if you want to chase airing dramas, the best place is always going to be the original platform. If you watch a bit later, then Netflix or Viki are not bad but it depends on your region bc dramas are licensed by region. If you want to watch iQiyi dramas then you have to subscribe to iQiyi bc they rarely license their dramas to other platforms.
