ShortCircuit

Anyway, there are three names for each character: 1. Clan/Family Name (if they are in a clan - for example, LAN Clan, WEN Clan, JIANG Clan etc. or else, clanless names - like Wei or Meng), 2. a courtesy name (they get that in adulthood, it's the "official" name that everybody being polite would call them by - for example, (Lan) WangJi, (Wei) WuXian, (Jiang) Cheng etc). And then there's 3. their childhood, or family name, who only family or really close friends would call them by. Or lovers, LOL. For example (Lan) Zhan, (Wei) Ying, (Jiang) WanYin etc.

And then there are the TITLES hahaha~ If you're watching a version with subs that TL the title, they're amazing, if not, you're probably only seeing the actual titles being written phonetically or something and have no clue they can be translated.

So - Lan WangJi's title is Hanguang Jun, or Light-Bearing Lord, his brother's name is ZeWu Jun - Brilliance Overgrowth Lord, Mme Yu (Jiang Cheng's mother )'s title is Violet Spider (Zi ZhiZhu), Jiang Cheng's title is SanDu ShengShou or Three-Bane Master (SanDu is his sword), Nie MingJue's title is Chifeng-Zun or Red Blade Master and so on and so forth. (Nie MingJue is Nie HuaiSang's older brother, the guy with the really big sword LOL).

And that reminds me, the swords or flutes ALSO have names, because they're all spiritual weapons and people name them.

Wei WuXian is a hoot, so he named his sword "Whatever" (Suibian) because the sword didn't care for the previous trial names, LOL. His flute (horizontal flute, a dizi), is called ChenQing.
Lan WangJi's sword is Bichen (Avoid Dust) and his guqin is Wangji ( - or Free of Wordly Concerns - yes it sounds like his name, but it's written different LOL).

Hope that didn't confuse you more :D

This is hilarious, keep the comments going :D (I'm assuming you're enjoying the drama, too :D)

Sadly, for me that means there's only Twelve to look out for. Maybe.

You'll soon learn their faces, don't worry.

Three links are already removed or gone private (Lighter & Princess, You Are My Glory and Why Women Love).

We Won't Be Falling Down (from Guardian) is one of the best OSTs in a cdrama, and made me fall for it (though I haven't even watched the drama itself LOL). But he also wrote the complete Three-Body OST and The Day of Unknown in that OST is absolutely stunning. I absolutely recc' the whole OST, the instrumentals are even better.

And then there's Wonderland of Love OST - my favourite is the Laolan Pass song, though there's also Will You Still Remember? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpjCcdnk0UM

18 Bends in Laolan River song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsCUqyQxGvs

And I'm pretty sure he has plenty others that I haven't yet come across :D

Not really, in the first two eps. But there is still time.

Wow, when the ED theme came up, it sounded SO MUCH like Sleepless Beauty I almost expected it to grow into that song (it's not the same song, but the opening to SB is so alike, I loved it.)

So anyway, this feels more inspired by a manga or an anime than a novel and Naoki is almost L but on music not on detecting LOL (ETA And now after the beginning of the second ep, his stage play is SO like OOK's Taka's hahaha), but I liked the first ep. And anything that reminds me of the Gravitation OST is a win.

(PS I didn't even recognize Machida Keita LOL).

Started 2x-ing since the middle of the third ep. I won't bother with the rest of them. Wishing you all well.

Dropped.

So... that'll be a TU moment LOL. And we all know WWX eventually came back so why not Armin?

I don't get it though - are they both remembering their past lives and Armin is now having foresight or something to dream about being attacked...?

PS Though, makeup and effects crew, pay attention LOL, Armin was shot in the chest and had surgery not so long ago, try to remember to give him a hero's scar or something - I mean... did they have perfect plastic surgery for scars back in the 2000s LOL?

That was a long ep and all I'm taking from it is Janine looking just a tiny bit clueless then deciding "I want to see" LOL. And then offering to Weynai to "take him". I say yes to both LOL.

They were sent to the address - his mother had her name on the rental because he couldn't get one, given his record. But they did send it to the address only he was living at.

Because he's not in it for the justice-for-all as he says, he's in it for the chaos. He wants to make a chaotic world before he goes.

And he did it before too - remember Lee Do's story of the blue-eyed Asian who made a village go mad?

But it doesn't really make sense that 10-12 mercs are WAITING AROUND for Lee Do to grab their weapons and shoot them all in sequence - like in one scene you can even see that while Lee Do is killing off two mercs one after the other, a third is in the background, not even poiting his gun at him, waiting for his turn LOL. Like, WHAT? :D

He also got shot with a dozen bullets in the scene where his captain was killed and STILL none of them hit any vital points, he's out and about in three days or so LOL. Talk about plot armour :D

WHY THE HELL didn't the police/special troops lock the freaking stadium or what?! They're in a special situation already declared, almost to martial law state, and they did not even block everyone from coming to get ~free~ guns. That doesn't make sense. And the guys they did send to the stadium were like regular traffic patrol, LOL, not the SWAT or something, in way too few numbers to even try to intervene.

Anyway - we'll pretend it makes sense because drama.

An all-out shootout. But I liked it (despite the game-like shooting LOL).

Give Kim YoungKwang more leading roles where he can sport that wicked smile and that mane of glory - he's mesmerising. Also Kim NamGil - so fine.

The plot - what plot? - was okay, my favourite villain is still Anchovies Man, some pretty good songs in this one, too.

The whole season felt like the extra to the manga, just with 1000% less spicy moments than the regular extra.

Nobody dies falling off cliffs in wuxia dramas LOL.

Also, MLC's ending is pretty clear, no HEA, he's gone.

I'm going to quote Neo on this drama, after 4 eps LOL - it's basically ~I need guns. Lots of guns.~

The action choreos are amazing (particularly the ones with big guns, the knife fights are good also but there seems to be a disbalance of power, Lee Do is way too OP for these poor goons.

This has a feeling of ASFK and Bloodhounds combined, LOL. I like it.

And I like Moon Baek too - it's pretty obvious who he is, with his workplace and all, but I like the crazy in the character.

What is that synopsis though. Everybody and their pets who watched ASFK1 are waiting for the showdown between JJM and Bale and we're getting basically a spin-off? :( Because it sounds like Bale is in the cast and not dead and then what the heck was JJM doing that night?)

I just went from anxiously waiting to anxiously hoping they don't retcon the first season and destroy it.
