I still can't believe they saved the turd.

I feel the same way about Yuqi. I was a big fan after Princess Weiyoung and Heaven Sword and tried to watch most of her dramas. But idk what happened she bombed out on all of them. I can tell you this is her best effort to date but that doesn't say much. She is dreadful for about 14 episodes and then she got a lot better. Still not a great actress but at least she delivers quite an enjoyable performance towards the end. But yeah if you watch it you are gonna have to grit your teeth through 14 episodes of bizarre facial and eye muscle movement.

It is like they are trying to be discovered.

She has been flaunting the ring since day 1. And it is just one of a series of indiscreet and tone deaf things to do now that its so obvious the emperor is on to them. At this rate, she is gonna get Xiao Duo killed.

Nah this thread looks pretty benign and my comment was directed at several comments I just replied to you bc you initiated that discussion. It’s all good.

I tend to get carried away with this book but if it’s too long, don’t read. I won’t be offended.

What is Bu Yinlou thinking? Wearing that ring so openly? That is just asking for it.

This actor always plays the big bad sociopath emperor so well - filicide, fratricide - he has done it all!

Well she didn't kill her daughter, at least not directly. She does something far worse.

I only watched the first 3 episodes bc I have no time but I loved the books and I think its a pretty good adaptation.

It is here but it is not subbed. I haven't had the time to watch it but the format seems a bit odd.

Crazy is an understatement. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Yeah but she had no remorse. Who gave her the the right? No one has that right. And her actions were based on a flawed and completely unfounded assumption about the Trisolarians.

Love made them stupid.

Well I think a lot of was analogous to the world, forget other planets. I think Ye Wenjie one of the big villains of fiction. She takes hell hath no fury to an entire new level. She really pissed me off in the book.

I think we at least still have one great battle between Wujie and Wushuang. Not to mention some of the behind the scenes masters like Luo Qingyang and Bai Xiaosheng. One of them should be able to fight Yan Zhantian.

Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty

Lol - It was a long time ago but I remember the Chinese version is a lot less PC than the English version. I also struggled with the hard science concepts and I think the translator did a great job cleaning those up and making it a lot more accessible.

Opening Douban rating 8.1

I don't read much hard sci-fi either but I enjoyed this trilogy. I suspect Netflix plans to do all three given how diverse the cast is but they have been very secretive about it. Not even revealing who is cast as who.
