the people on here who write that this has a happy ending have not considered that this drama has ripped out my…
LWJ: I want to take someone back to Cloud Recesses... Take him back and hide him away.
Later on, LXC telling WWX the backstory on THAT. Yup. That was a killer. And then the extras to the novel, LOL, where we learn it was NEVER a platonic love for LWJ, not even when WWX was just pranking LWJ with ancient Chinese porn books.
That kind of longing, going through life and death. That kind of hope.
so mun comma is really worthless plot in drama only half ep it takes to wake him up and soo easily 🙄like seriously…
One of them even told HaNa to make him remember his actions as a Counter, and she says it won't work because those specific two memories were erased... then she reminds him about a few times when he acted as a Counter and he not only remembers, his original contract with WiGen is remade (somehow) and they both are okay, no problems, nothing.
Like... WTH?!
I thought him losing his powers was the best thing that could happen to shake the season up a bit... but definitely not as they made use of it. Disappointing.
I know that this is TOTALLY personal opinion, but I would like to know if season 2 is more or less character driven…
No character development, basically (it all happened in S1). The new Counter is a nose (not a joke) - he's just comic relief mostly. The villains look cool and that's about it.
It's because of the lists, LOL. In Jianghu, everybody measures up against everybody else. And the best criterion…
It's a most used trope, indeed :D
Also, when you got through the them meeting again (if you're mentioning the other Clan people trying to challenge WWX, he's already back from the Burial Mounds), you were presented with another well-used trope, LOL, when WWX said he got locked into a cave where he found an ancient manuscript that taught him all the tricks he's been using. That training-through-an-ancient-manuscript-found-in-a-cave comes so often in some wuxia stories, it's a tongue-in-cheek from the writers to use in that place in the story, LOL.
Anyway, I hope you're enjoying TU, it's a very good drama that well deserves the hype. And the novel it's based on, too :D
What's up with everyone always asking why Wei Wuxian isn't carrying his sword lol. Also is everyone's audio on…
It's because of the lists, LOL. In Jianghu, everybody measures up against everybody else. And the best criterion is who defeated who in combat (obviously with a sword). Since WWX isn't carrying his sword, they can't challenge him (his magical tricks are unorthodox and they won't fight him through tricks.)
The lists are even mentioned once, IIRC - I think it was Jin ZiXuan first, then Lan XiChen, Lan WangJi and Wei WuXian. Jiang Cheng is on it somewhere too. And definitely Nie MingJue, though he might be seen as part of the seniors' lists (and he doesn't use a sword anyway but something of a broadsword, much more brutal than the elegant ones).
The Jianghu list(ing)s are mentioned in a lot of other dramas - like Nirvana in Fire, for example. Or EverNight. Or 2ha, if it ever gets aired, LOL.
Anyway, WWX not carrying his sword is being impolite toward the people who would want to call him out to fight and maybe gain some recognition having fought WWX. So that's why they're all mad about it, LOL.
PS NF sound is okay in all eps, must be an Amazon thing.
Is the beginning of the story slow? cause i watch TLP too slow till episode 3 and stop watch.
It starts with a MC's death, reincarnation and a zombie-killing plot, LOL. So no, it's not slow.
Though you have to take into consideration that the first two eps are an intro, then there's a long flashback that ends in ep 33, then it returns to the intro and goes on from there. Neither parts are slow, IMHO (there's quite a lot of story to pack in just 50 eps, but they managed it beautifully).
So, Shi Mei is a guy in the novel? They changed the character to a girl in the drama?
ShiMei is a bit complex. But yeah, he starts up being male and they made him a girl in the drama. Then again, we'll have to wait and see if 2ha ever escapes from limbo...
I so, SO wanted Kang San to go back to the past and stop it all from happening... Then again, the superpowers are back, we could always get a second season where he does just that. Could we?
This was one useless female detective, BTW. If they HAD to have a female (lead or main or support) why wouldn't they make her actually efficient? This was... lacklustre. I'm not sure if it's the role (it feels like the writer couldn't make her be actually important) or the acting (the actress feels so low-energy throughout the series, I've no idea how the director didn't notice). Even KS's friend from the past had more energy than her.
But still... dammit, LMS! DongJoo is right, the apples didn't fall too far from the tree in that family. So sad - they had the greatest frenemy bromance going on in the first half of the story.
The plot is a bit loose here and there, some of the detectives (yes the female one) were kind of useless, the science (beyond the obvious) was missing (LOL, if that was a meteorite, where's the damn crater? A small one. Or at least some burn traces in all those dead leaves LOL), then some solutions were... at least strange (so they did bury the body WITH the broken bottle that just HAPPENED to have TaeMan's fingerprints on it?! And that guy was the go-to killer LTM had used all those almost three decades, too? LOL). And what happened to Mr. No? Is he still in a coma? Does he ever wake up?
All that being said... this was so much FUN!! I mean, I'll be missing DongJoo's barked responses to whatever. And I grew to love his mom. I want DongJoo and Kang San to go and save the world together, and then write novels about it. They're not superheroes (despite the superpowers), they'd just go and right small wrongs and maybe help other people not drown in despair.
Seriously, this does beg a second season. I'd love to watch it!

Yes, an unforgettable story.

The fighting scenes are good, though.
I STILL don't care about MJS, I'd rather have had HPG doing the incoming fights and evil things etc.
This season... I've watched it for the fighting scenes and that's all. Everything else doesn't click...

Though from MXTX I still think Scum Villain's Self-Saving System is the best after MDZS :)
(And there are SO many to choose from, from wuxia, xianxia to modern danmei, it's a whole new world :))
