Here you can see one of these "sensitive" shots that is not even bloody but might rub the audience in a wrong…
Oooh, thanx for the link! Yeah, animal involvement in such scenes can indeed be a touchy subject, but exactly because they know it will be, they always take extra care, like you said - stuntmen and trained horses. lolz, I wish China would make a special channel where real bloody dramas could be aired, 'cuz for historical ones like this, blood everywhere is pretty much being accurate ;D
SO. AGREED!!!! I absolutely hate it when they breakup on last eps for no reason! Just that very thing recently ruined another certain drama with an anchor-nim as the ML for me! Like - whyyyy???????
Also - SLS. I hate love triangles with a passion of a thousand suns!!!! Unfortunately, most romance dramas have the hated triangle and while I rarely have SLS, it's still soooo annoying to see the the person being all wish-y washy as to whom she'll choose ('cuz it's mostly MFM triangles).
Ah, yes, the stupid childhood connection. Nuff said.
And yeah - fast burn is well...mostly forced and thus no chemistry at all. So sad. (-_-)
Another thing I hate is the stupid break ups 'cuz of "misunderstandings" and "for their own good"...like....wtf people. TALK to each other!!! And don't assume someone will be better off without you, we all know what assume makes of you! The person would rather go thick and thin and be happy with you throughout it whereas be miserable without you! Like, damn, nearly every drama has that crap, so annoying.
Heh, reading the article and the comments and knowing other people think alike is nice, we all hate those annoying things :D
Ya know, right now I'm not even worried anymore whether it will air, it will (probably XD) sometime soon - what I want now is for them to also release all the cut scenes as a BTS or smt, 'cuz that's A LOT of material that they had filmed and now we won't see, worth several episodes. I'm really curious to see all those bloody scenes they had to cut and reshoot around. Would be interesting to see what changes they had to make. I know they tried their best to reshoot it so that the cuts won't ruin the storyline & I certainly hope it will be ok, but it's just sad how the whole censorship thing in China can ruin a drama and also how the work they had already put in won't even see the light of day and instead they had to work even more to reshoot it all. Like, what I'm frustrated about is not that there are censorships, but that they keep changing them all the time and thus the drama people can't even know whether by the time the drama airs their work will be approved or they have to cut it so much it barely resembles the original or makes sense. Fingers crossed that despite all the troubles The Wolf crew will make it work and the drama will be good!
Wow!!!! I must say... we are one of the most patient people to date. The anticipation is killing me!!!
We're also a damn faithful bunch - 3 years we have been waiting and haven't forgotten, & now already for over a months have been checking here daily to see what news there are XD
judging from XiaoZhan's "damage control/I'm sorry please forgive me" interview a few weeks ago, seems like they…
Hasn't that whole mess already been dealt with? It wasn't Xiao Zhan's fault to begin with and I heard talk that his lawyers finally intervened to stop those toxic "fans" from ruining XZ's works and throwing false accusations at him. I thought XZ was finally back on track, but are the cnetizens still being stupid on weibo? (-_-)
I saw the Mystic Nine last year and always thought should watch the rest of them as well. Chronological order is more to my liking and now with covid19, finally will have the time to dive into the series.
Excellent article - gives the the backbone to know where one wants to start and not be completely confused :D
Both the novel and the drama are the kind of masterpieces that will forever remain with you and leave an everlasting impact. Xiao Zhan truly IS Wei Ying. It's rare to see an actor who so fully understands a novel/book character and portrays him perfectly.
Eh, I wish they had stayed with novel ending, that would've made it more clear as to what happened and been nicer too. Actually....they really should've stayed closer to the novel overall - would've made it so much more meaningful and explain lots of things...oh well. Still liked the drama, just...as always I suppose, book trumps the drama. I'll never understand why the script writers would mess up something that's already good. At least Zheng Ye Cheng really did well as Fu Yiu Jun :D
Oooh, nice. Seems like Lee Joon Gi is gonna play the villain, cool. Love to see actors portray varied characters instead of being stuck with the same type. I think LJG will excel in this one as well
If the drama will be aired on CCTV, shouldn't they tell us the airing date ahead of time? I can understand if…
Good to hear that at least the public knows Xiao Zhan is not at fault and got the blame for the stupid actions of others. I'm glad they're showing him support, he really deserves it after this whole mess. Someone said it and I agree - it really feels like XZ became real life Wei Ying - gets blamed for others crap. Thankfully seems like it's coming to an end now. Really hope he has only good things in his life now.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this for real? We WILL get a 2nd season???? YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahem, needless to say, I'm now one very happy camper :D
Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People has one of the best OST's ever! It'll inspire you & it will also break your heart. Goblin also had wonderful touching OST's.

We need The Wolf to cheer us up :D
