I thought so too at first, but I think it's the hair style, thinner a bit and less makeup.

The premise for I'm not a robot is silly but I love it and rewatched it many times.

Nooo, not the overused past connection trope...

Episode 2 has lots of rom com tropes compared to 1st episode which is darker.

Is this going to be a rom com or political thriller?

wilco 👌

Thanks. Looking forward to it.

Hi Talia, here there and everywhere huh! Well, I don't mind them trashing the historical Silk Road a bit as long as nobody emits laser beams. After all, "Journey to the West" massacred it. Wukong and gang, always in a China bubble, no dessert or oasis towns, Chinese noodles all the way(where's the chapati!)

This looks interesting but I don't see it in Netflix yet. This is a realistic historical drama right, no immortals hiding behind the bush right?

I mean I feel like I'm watching a holodeck episode of star Trek. If a story is about real people, even if it's fiction, there is no problem.

Do the "game" characters become alive later on? After watching two episodes , I cannot connect emotionally with any of them , anymore than you can "feel" anything for a console game character.

Any recommendations ? You know my old man taste! Cdramas and kdramas been a Taklamakan desert lately !!

Don't know why but don't like the ML's acting. Skip! Will watch amines while waiting for Strange Tales of Tang 3.

Netflix pushed this to me today. Hmm Just wondering if the main actress should start diverging from revenge theme dramas? Is this as good as the Double?

Well deserved!

i mean is it top 5 for 2024 so far?

is that good?

Halfway thru first season. Watching together with missus. Thank you for the great recommendation dear lady :-).

Have to say, this one is like the recent De Renjie drama on Netflix. That one started out strong than slumped a bit in the second half.

Yeah, I understand Chinese detective stories of that era tends to have supernatural elements. For a supposedly low budget, I think they did good on the sets , costumes etc. The only thing they chose not to portray authentically is that Tang belles are supposedly on the portly side heh..
