I wouldn't say pathetic, but I understand what you're trying to say: You would like more suspense, a cat and mouse…
I read the book too and it's clear to me the change in tone and intensity in the drama of these "interlude" episodes versus the original author's voice throughout her book. Its cuteness is fun to watch and I was entertained, but definitely, the pudgy suitor, the mosquito moment in bed, etc., deviate from the absolute terror and urgency of the few days prior when they were close to death. I'm just critiquing from a writing/tone point-of-view. The acting is still stellar--both actors brought their A-game into their romance moments--and the cinematography is gorgeous.
I think you mentioned a suspension of disbelief to someone before and yes, we have to do it to accept that our self-immolating, cynical, totally ruthless san wang-ye is a love-sick young farmer boy sewing gloves and that he and his assassin woman are cosplaying in a equivalence of a Renaissance Dressup Festival that will last for 2 weeks. Heh heh. It's all right. The kissing was good. I'm easy to bribe. LOLOLOL.
You saw a beard in the trailers? Link please! Thank you.
OK, I have now seen them all.😆. I am a spoiler so thank you! I also speak Malay, so reading all the comments, most of them were asking where Mei Lin was And crying about the possible BE.
Welcome to cdramaland ,idk if it's the restrictions or something but yeah expected that asawell but only thing…
The ones I see that I”enjoy” have very anusive CEOs they slap, steal the kidney or blood, send the Fl to jail and cause all kinds of torment for half the drama before “falling in love. “ I watch these every night so I know what I’m talking about. I’m not throwing any stones because I “enjoy” these CEO shows. I have a few favorite CEO actors, who are great at least abusive roles:She HaoNan and Liu Qing are two., Just in case you think I’m Talking out of my behind.
