Mei Lin's ending was definitely over kill. She survives in the novel but she had no martial arts from the get go and she is totally a push over there bc the ML loves Luo Mei the entire book until the second last chapter! You can't make silk purses out of sows ears! 🤦🏻♀️
Oh, so he played the elder "adopted" brother, I'm only up to episode 3. He was so fantastic in War of Faith. When…
Me too! I feel sad he's been around for so long but never made it big. And he is super good looking too. He steals the show in every drama he is in. He was also the useless emperor Wu Di in AJTL. He was so funny I almost died laughing at his scenes.
I think there's more to him than meets the eye and the fact that he's also adopted makes me think about his real…
Yun Hongqi, the older brother is adopted. It is quite common in Republican dramas bc its chaotic times many kids were orphaned and adopted by kind families. And its been popular since Wang Kai played the the adopted bro in The Disguiser.
Pretty much sums it up for me. lol Gave it the same rating. I was more disappointed with Mei Lin's transformation…
Tyvm my dear!😘🌸. I think it’s self censorship. Every badass character male or female is immediately whitewashed nowadays. I shudder to think what would have happened to Ning Yi if TROP were made today!
I can only guess that Battlle of Changsha was one of the most significant events in modern Chinese history and some part of this may have been deemed to distort history. Fingers crossed the drama doesn’t get butchered somewhere along the way….
To each their own. I know its more authentic but I just get annoyed when they speak Japanese bc I keep having…
I couldn’t agree more! He actually can sing so idk why when he dubs himself his voice is so monotone it is coma inducing . But yeah he is one of those actors where if he dubs himself, I am skipping the drama! But Cheng Yi is also dubbed most of the time and I think he is dubbed here too by a VA.
Having just watched Zhang Tianyang absolutely slay as an antagonist in War of Faith, I am giving him a hard side eye as the bro Yun Hongqi. Such a terrific actor and he seems much taller here!
Cheng Yi finally airs drama 2024! But I'm a bit disappointed that even though Deep Lurk is a similar drama to…
To each their own. I know its more authentic but I just get annoyed when they speak Japanese bc I keep having to read subtitles to follow the dialogue. This is much more efficient and fun for me. As for Ren Jialun, he doesn't even dub himself in Mandarin most of the time. He definitely doesn't speak Japanese and was dubbed by a Japanese voice actor in Autumn Cicada.
This is actually one my favorite Takeshi Kaneshiro movies. When it came out, I remember trekking to a part of Kowloon I almost never go to just to watch the version where he speaks Sichuan dialect. It was awesome.
I was waiting for your review when I started watching (I went in with eyes wide open since I simply wanted to…
The last 8 episodes feel longer than the first 24 in its entirety! But you are almost there and the last 1 or 2 episodes are not bad. I did also still enjoy the leads .
