This feels like Reader's Digest of the actual drama. I get it that they wanted to cram all the story in just ten…
So Run's dad is actually Phupha's dad?! And doesn't that makes them siblings? And he already knew but let his daughter date (and in the other world, even get affianced to) his son?!
What the...
I'd like some more bonding between the MLs and less about the Agent Smiths hunting down Phupha - no, seriously, what the freak are they? Some supernatural things born out of the blue moon cascade, LOL? This is ridiculous. And Khram and Thai arriving at the scene of the accident/assassination attempt on foot right as the masked thing tried to kill Phupha is just as ridiculous.
I'll give this one more ep then decide.
BTW, the music composer isn't credited here, but the music sounds a lot like that of Tale of a Thousand Stars, doesn't it?
This feels like Reader's Digest of the actual drama. I get it that they wanted to cram all the story in just ten episodes... but surely they did remember that it needs to make sense?
i just finished watching the 10th episode, Do you think the chairman is actually dying or do you think it's one…
It would be SO stupid to use the same trick twice (with faking that), so I guess yes, this is really what's going on, LOL (and by that I mean they're doing it again).
Have they explained yet what Tae Oh's original goal with all this was? I keep checking back because it's literally…
He seems just as surprised as all of us each and every time the plot does a twist. Like - his face through the whole drama was one big question mark with a side of whatthef*ck.
No like seriously if the male and the female lead are so smart why would they want to get into this mess of making…
Just wait, In the end, it'll turn out that the guys actually love each other and InHa is hating the FL because she stole his man, and then he is also jealous of her because she doesn't belong to him, AND she stole his man (bears repeating).
And KTO did everything for his love interest but then he got betrayed - BIG TIME - by said love interest because of insecurity, and now they're both heartbroken and apart and can never go back to how it all used to be. And it's all FL's fault (for stealing another man's man.)
ALL this is missing is basically a white truck hitting one or all of them, some or all of them getting amnesia or dying forlornly in someone's arms... and the one who survives will inherit the company with tears in their eyes.
If we're really lucky, KTO's monk mom comes back and inherits the company LOL. By now I actually am hoping for such an insane ending anyway hahaha~
LWJ's stoic non-expressive face is his personal superpower. It's only Lan XiChen (his older brother) who can read it - he knows when LWJ is deliriously happy when dragging WWX - kicking and screaming - back to Cloud Recesses after his resurrection when LWJ's expression is basically the same, LOL.
That's why his small smiles and the rare outrage or surprise are EXTREME emotions for LWJ, to let them get to his face, hahaha~ And it is what actually initially tickled WWX to no end - he wanted to put some expression on that perfect and cold face, by any means necessary :D (he confesses immediately when things get... heated between them, LOL). If you decide you're not interested in reading the novel, at least try the extras - the heat levels there are the cherry on top :D
ETA WEI is his family name, and WuXian is his courtesy name (and for LWJ, Lan is the family name and WangJi is the courtesy name. WWX's personal - friends only - name is Ying, and only LWJ gets to call him that in a friendly manner, everybody else who does wants to disrespect him, LOL. And then there's WWX calling LWJ only by his personal - again, just for friends and family - name, Lan Zhan, and only using his courtesy name ONCE when he wanted to be as cold as possible, LOL - after he came back from the Burial Mounds and LWJ panicked that he was going to be destroyed by his use of demonic arts and wanted to drag him back to Cloud Recesses to keep him safe... or when he's teasing drunk LWJ.)
In short, they'd be WuXian and WangJi, if you wanted to go by their courtesy names, or Ying and Zhan, if going by personal names. (Wei Wu doesn't work in that way).
A-Ze highly disapproves of this comment. He's also judging you from the sidelines, LOL.
Considering the practicality of A-Ze's love advices to his master, I'd rather think that if Ling'er doesn't teach him a thing or two, they will both end up extremely frustrated and still alone for a very long time, LOL.
OMFG I just realised the whole "yamen manor" set is LWJ's Jingshi Room/residence in the Cloud Recesses. It kept…
I bet it's the older Shangguan sibling, Zhi's big brother. I have no hints to show you for it, but I will take the risk and say it's him. Just because drama.
Aw, Jiang-ge... freaking get over your dad faking his death. I am not CaiWei and I don't care he managed to grow a great son - for 30 years he slaughtered his way through that city and didn't get so much wealth and power without killing for it. AND THEN!! He goes and pretends to be dead so that HIS SON that he wanted to keep away from the Jianghu HAS to come back and kill his way through the mess, too!! F off, Zhou dad!
Also awww~, Pan Yue and CaiWei now have no more secrets and from now on poor A-Ze will have PLENTY of more chances to catch them half-naked together LOL. "Get out!" - a growl of frustration hahaha~
The fourth rider of the apocalypse, errr, the brothel madam is pretty suspicious too. She went aaaall the way back to the shadows and let the other three powers throw themselves against Pan Yue and she's maybe calculating how to profit from that... If not the older Shangguan sibling, then she's one of the top rulers of the Ripple Org. TM - also according to the drama rules. A feint and counter-feint between two women - the princess and the madam, LOL.
For a hot second there, I thought Pan Yue was going to get stupid and decide for her in advance. But then he didn't…
Awww, our ML and the SML were bonding over protecting her....
BUT!!!! Isn't he SUCH a bright spark, though? It only took Jiang-ge ONE SECOND to just say "you care for me, too, then?" and just like that, IT CLICKED!!! I LOVED THAT!!! I WANT MORE OF THAT!!!!! YES GO GET HER!
(Yes I'm having a shout-out party to Jiang-ge, how can you tell? :D)
So it's decided - the Zhou father is the guy in the dark - but is he endgame villain or is there someone else?
They're all caught into solving cases now, but still have time to be picky about food, LOL. Poor A-Ze, wanting sour and sweet foods and Zhi'er not having any of it, LOL. Then again he deserves it - PAN YUE DON'T TAKE RELATIONSHIP ADVICES FROM A-ZE, HE KNOWS NOTHING!!!! NOTHING you hear!!! And anyway... he already kissed her in secret, LOL - VIRGINS amirite? :D
I kind of think that A-Ze is definitely NOT the spy in the yamen. He's being a great wingman even if he doesn't know anything about love and gives bad advice, LOL. If he were the spy, he'd be more careful and not be that friendly with PY.
I'm also being careful and not watching trailers... but I kind of want to see when PY gets blinded - will it be bugs? In the end, the backforest of the academy still did have traps, who put them there? Why is Zhou the dad fearful they'd discover the secret of the forest? What secret?
Shout-out to the clothing dep't too - that two-toned outfit of Pan Yue's was BEAUTIFUL.
PS And XiaoSheng giving away most of her fake jewelry for almost nothing because she got dreamy over Jiang-ge... Awww, that's love :D
This is makjang right? It has the length and type of lighting and general scene setting and overall the makings of a makjang... And I really need a good one, the last one I've watched was Ojakgyo Brothers forever ago. I miss a good makjang!!
First ep is good, I hope it doesn't devolve once the characters become adults.
What the...

He did get his Mufasa/Scar moment, "Long.... live... the king!...." hahaha~
And then it ends like that because LOL. Why not?
I still held some hope, I guess I was always going to be the fool for that hahaha~
Maybe try the donghua anyway, though - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEju95zm73k

Jiang-ge, come back ASAP. That is all.
(ETA Also doesn't the underground tomb set resemble so much TTJ and YXW's tomb set, too?)
So... can I tell you all who endgame villain is, according to drama rules?...
Then again, I forgot to count the cars (and their brands) in the latest eps, LOL.
BUT!!!! Isn't he SUCH a bright spark, though? It only took Jiang-ge ONE SECOND to just say "you care for me, too, then?" and just like that, IT CLICKED!!! I LOVED THAT!!! I WANT MORE OF THAT!!!!! YES GO GET HER!

ETA Jiang-ge is SCARY smart. Let's pick him for president this time next elections LOL.
