The rating for this series on douban is pretty low, 5/10 while here MDL 8/10 and Viki 9/10. Many complaint about…
I'm getting fed up with the negative comments about her. It's fine to have our own opinions but I don't think she deserves the hate. She brings out the spunkiness in Jiang Ni. She is refreshing and endearing.
If it is a matter of acting - she is young and has room to grow as an actor. Plus, if that's how her character is written then she can only do so much. There were moments where I felt like the other female characters were dull, but they didn't get the same negative feedback about it. Most of the comments seem to stem from whether she is considered ''pretty'' or not, and I really don't think we should be recruiting cast members just based on looks.
I heard that Zhang Ruo Yun has hinted on when they may do a season 2, but if Teresa Li isn't in it, I just cannot imagine watching it. Switching the cast will change what was already established.
My final thoughts after finishing this series: It has been a minute since I've watched a TVB series, and gotta say I was intrigued for a majority of the drama. They did a good job with the action, suspense and plot. However, the ending was very underwhelming and didn't make much sense. The build up fell flat. I was quite disappointed with how they decided to end it because there was potential to wrap it up nicely. 27-28/30 episodes were good, but I wished they had given the ending some thought. If they had stuck with one big fight/finale with all the antagonists rather than separate fights and cut out some fillers, the ending would have been more cohesive and less rushed/choppy.
Love qing niao, so pretty! Lol I’d pair her up as a FL with Ning e mei lmfao. Zhang tian ai and Zhang ruo yun…
Good point. Hard to please everyone though lol we will just have to see what happens if season 2 is confirmed. Perhaps that’s why he marries all of them in the novel cuhs they’re all great in their own way (or so I hear). I still ship JN and XFN lol, I’m a sucker for their childish/quirky bond. I assume JN should have more character development if is season 2. She has always been mature but never showed that depth because she and XFN haven’t officially made that step (kinda dance around each other cuhs of pride).
Praying she comes back as Jiang Ni if they have a second season. I heard rumours that they might replace her with…
Agreed! Not saying there aren’t good actors out there but if they decide to start with one, then it should be consistent. Honestly wish they filmed all seasons together ahha. She is still a young actress, with room to improve but I hope she isn’t bothered by the negative comments about her looks. You can provide constructive criticism on acting but why comment on whether she is pretty or not smh
Love qing niao, so pretty! Lol I’d pair her up as a FL with Ning e mei lmfao. Zhang tian ai and Zhang ruo yun…
Still love Jiang Ni for XFN though, they’re like an old married couple with their quirky ways of showing affection. Jiang Ni doesn’t know how to fight but she is pretty smart and mature at times, sometimes moreso than XFN
Truly wish Qing Niao to be the female lead, or even Nangong Pu She.
Love qing niao, so pretty! Lol I’d pair her up as a FL with Ning e mei lmfao. Zhang tian ai and Zhang ruo yun played an otp in a modern series, so maybe that’s why the chemistry was there despite very few scenes on her end
Lol, trending on Weibo in 4th place:"Zhong Rou Yun owes us TWO 2nd seasons".So true.
Lol maybe I should watch JOL, seems like he is fond of these types of genres that need multiple seasons. Great actor, I cannot imagine anyone else play XFN. Good at playing intelligent characters (loved him in Medical Examiner)
One of thr best! Definitely it deserves way higher rating. Great story. Great act. Very interesting characters.…
Praying she comes back as Jiang Ni if they have a second season. I heard rumours that they might replace her with another actress which would really ruin the dynamic that has been established
I hate this kind of drama where all the girls look better than the FL. This kind of weakness doesn't exist in…
I agree, I think this storyline focuses on acting and character more than looks. The actress suits Jiang Ni and I find her a natural beauty. She brings out the youthful spunky girl in her
Haha! Ofc, and I appreciate the fact that it doesn't revolve around romance. Although I will say it would be sad/weird to see him marry all of them like in the novel LOL. As you said, I think there's enough evidence to show that he is only set on one woman.
Does XFN marry all the girls in the novel? I hope they change that in the drama if there are sequels because although I love all of them, I only wanna see Jiang Ni and him married. hahaha
Even tho I'm sad that Jiang Ni left, I'm happy Qing Niao is getting more scenes.
I love Qing Niao, she is pretty, talented and a boss lady! Besides the older generation of characters, I think the supporting characters that really stood out to me were Qing Niao and Ning e Mei
Will it involve the main cast? I honestly cannot imagine a change in the main cast, it would totally alter the dynamic of the characters. I wish they had just filmed the entire series in one go to save time in reuniting the same actors.
