ShortCircuit

I am in tears every time I remember Wolf Hunter (still no reliable subs). And I pushed myself through I Don't Want to Be Brothers With You with the original machineTL, LOL, before Viki got it.

Do not hurt yourself with anything Mango-subbed unless it's on another platform too. They're Qi Min levels of brutal on one's mind LOL.

He needs all that time to study Qi and hope to finally win a game.

YQ is the younger psychopath. Yuanhai/Qi Min is the older psycho. That family is all psychos. Psychos all around.

In that fanfic, they should make him die a long painful death and then bring him back and kill him again.

The f!! I actually cared that the Sui-the-Older did that to Sui-the-Younger!! Wow. I mean, I was kind of certain there was NO brotherly love between them, but it looks like Qi Min actually cared a bit. Other than wanting to kill them all, that is. He didn't really want to kill Sui-the-Younger, but also really did want to kill him (because he's crazy. They both are crazy).

I almost wanted to be sorry for S-t-Y, BUT!!! He brought the bandits to Lin'an. All the pretty girls giggling for Yan Zheng's braised meat ONLY are now dead because of him. He should've suffered more.

Though those scenes were beautifully shot. For all the beautiful cinematography this drama showed me, I am starting to get mad at the scenes that don't make the cut anymore. Why can't it all be like that?!

I like that Li Huai'an is a tormented traitor. Suffer more, do. If he actually had a hand in bringing Qi Min back as a pretender... then he caused a lot of deaths too.

Again very few (and a bit disjointed) scenes with our leads. Yeah, I know he's jealous, and what with him calling her his wife and being corrected over and over back to his status of matrilocal husband (why doesn't anyone mention they're supposedly divorced?) and then asking for kisses (and destroying paper windows LOL) - HOW did they get there? I feel like I've skipped a scene or two, and I promise you I've been paying attention.

I like this Mr. GongSun, I really do. He somehow reminds me of the mischievous nature of Zhu Yan, like. Li Qin doesn't look a tad like Hou MingHao in real life, though, LOL. How come GongSun Yin looks a bit like a character HMH would play? Also, Princess, let's not be too greedy. Leave him a XiangQi manual or two for himself, he needs to study.

I like these eps - except I really want more of our leads. What with all the dealings of the rest of the characters - WHAT ABOUT THEM?!

On 33th. Every drunk's promise: I am NOT drrrunkg. Drunhkfd. Drunksh1!

Also, that poor window (plus the extra wheels wheeling around at that scene LOL). LET HER BREATHE! :D

Well, I liked The Witch's first eps, it just... somehow slided to the "uninteresting" side. And I never went back to it, like that.

This one - he DOES have a great face card as they say. And I hoped he (the character) would grow a spine. But half the series in, he didn't. Watching the character specially going out to buy food for her while she doesn't even pick up after herself, like she owns the place, scratched my "she's entirely unlikable" bone. (He's 30!!! And so is she!!!! These are supposedly adults, dammit. At least she should be civil in an almost stranger's place, while he could be a bit assertive in his own house withouth being a quiet rebound rag she can walk all over - again). I can't go on with this (even in 2x speed, which did make it a bit better).

I might take a look at OUS, but... I'm one who dropped Our Beloved Summer two eps from the end because I just couldn't take it anymore LOL. If it's the same - supposedly slow and introspective but instead just... not, I also might not. Thanks for the rec!

PS Too bad about the OP song - it did give a flashback to the QoT OST. It does sound like it's the same band or at least the same songwriter but at this moment I can't be even bothered to check it out.

They do have some original plots (for example, Fangs of Fortune was original IIRC) but novels are usually a safe option to adapt since they come with a fanbase that will certainly tune in to watch the drama.

It makes sense, though. He's not on any faction's side - either Li or Wei - but on the actual Imperial line's legitimate heir. Qi Min IS the actual Imperial Grandson, so he would have better rights to the throne than the current Wei-backed puppet.

So in his mind, he wouldn't be betraying anyone but helping the legitimate heir to the throne to get back his rights.

Exactly. It's fun even so, but I've come across many dramas that had long since aired, and still had a good watch by not reading comments from the past. Whenever I watch a currently airing, the fun is much more when comparing theories and favourite scenes with people also watching.

The blocks were limited at least back in 2023 when I was looking at the limit and there was a talk about it in the support forums. I don't know if that changed, but I'm assuming it didn't. I'm at 28 people, a lot of them still active, and so I don't want to use up those blocks on people who are just enthusiastic about a drama they like and want to comment on (I'm supposing they're not evil intentioned LOL).

Listen up. NOBODY cares you took the shortcut to watch them all. Have at it.

Just PLEASE use a spoiler tag. If you read up a few comments below, people are spoiling out in the open. That's uncouth. And if someone did finish it, it's NOT their right to come and spoil it for everyone else just because they can. It's called being civil.

Yesterday everybody was commenting on the officially aired eps and having fun, now we who chose not to watch the leaks have to scroll over as fast as we can not to see what happens to whomever before the episode airs. We're all the same people as yesterday. Spoiling it is making everybody who hasn't watched the leaks keep away from the comment section.

Unless that's the whole idea....?

Song Yan's actor is now ML in a BL drama, they didn't want to have any scandal about it so they edited his face only with another actor's face. Nothing more dramatic than that. He (the actor) is not actually involved in any scandal. It's just the association with BL that was problematic due to the current censorship rules in the mainland.

At first, I thought she was going to be one of those randomly quirky characters that one actually does fall for, and they're like fireflies to their smothering flame or something. But she's not a freaking firefly. HE is a moth to her, who's a dull one-watt lantern bulb.

He was a wet mop from the very beginning - I DO get it that some people have hero's syndrome and DO sacrifice everything for the family etc. But even when he's not with his family anymore, he's stuck in a moment in time, never even "looking back" (yeah, you're right, he never even left).

I really wanted to give it a chance, not in small part because I fell out with The Witch and wished to give JinYoung another chance. But it's just not for me. Maybe I'm too old now for idiotic one-and-only one-sided love stories. Or love stories between physically beautiful but un-souled people.

Oh well. Maybe he'll finally pick something that gives him an actual role to play and not just be a beautiful lachrymose statue.

Yup, heard so. I never did reach the limit, but people were asking in the support forums about making it a higher number.

I just finished a novel where eventually there's a tournament, and one of the MLs just keeps winning but not making any waves (they have a popularity contest in parallel, LOL). By the time he makes it to the quarter finals, they realise why he's not making any waves - he's the fastest winner of any fight, and nobody has time to notice any moves or manoeuvres. He wins in one or two moves each time.

Maybe that's why we don't get to see Xie Zheng fight, LOL. He's in Mahayana somehow while all the rest are just at Qi Gathering stage hahaha~

Like seriously you guys are a hydra, no less. First the waves of "hey, news! it's all out" then the offended excuses - "I'm paying for it anyway, what's up if I want to comment on how it ends before you all get to see the rest of eps, I don't have money so I don't want to pay, this [insert illegal streaming site] is posted all over anyway, I'm not using a spoiler button because I can't be bothered to use it" and so on and so forth. You explain one thing to one or ten, a few moments later another horde comes asking or saying the same thing.

WE GOT IT. You all found a shortcut and took it. Please stop spoiling the future eps. Please stop announcing you found the complete leaked eps. Please use spoilers FGS, it's not that hard. Please be civil. It really is not that hard.

I know I've got a block button, but the blocks are numbered and the folks I've blocked before deserved it a lot more than a few enthusiastic pirates who take everyone else for a pirate. We KNOW it's leaked, thank you very much, and we CHOOSE not to watch the leaks.

Now can you all at least PLEASE use the spoiler button?!

Tae Seo: I never look back on things.

Buddy, you never looked or moved forward. Everything's her.

She: dumps another BF over the phone. BF asks for face-to-face resolution. SHE GOES TO SEE HIM. Never gave Tae Seo a chance for that.

Tae Seo: I knew you'd come back.

No you didn't, idiot.

TBH, the only thing that WOULD keep me watching the drama would be to see if his brother gets a romance with the girl all the grannies in the village like. That one at least looks cute, even if tropey.

But I'm not in the mood for like 5 minutes every depressive and turtle-slow episode. Wishing you all luck!

I really really tried. Even in 2x, the episode couldn't go by slower. I even took two long pauses to do other things. Could barely finish 5th (because I forced myself to).

Dropped.

He bro-zoned himself. Not that he deserves it.

They made two swords out of one butcher's knife. There wasn't any more iron LOL

His name is "17" LOL. (I can keep going all night hahaha~)
