Finished. I adore this drama. I absolutely loved every second. I feel like I've met many of these characters before. Everyone is just so real and relatable. I loved the struggles, failures, and successes. I connect with the desire to always move forward, no matter the difficulty. Beautifully written, beautifully shot, beautifully acted. It all came together to create something special.
Finally, Lulu has won me over. I was a doubter. Not sure if I truly believed she was a great actor. More of a star than a performer. I actually didn't like her in TSOKP. I thought the role was too complex for her. But then I saw her in TTEOTM, and I loved her in it. I caught her again in MM, once again, see was amazing. Maybe I was wrong, but maybe not. Perhaps Xianxia fantasy is where she excels and does her best work. Perhaps it when she steps outside, she struggles. When I saw the trailer for this, I got excited. This is the one I've been waiting for. I knew Northward would answer that question, and answer it did. She was simply flawless and delivered a complete and thorough performance. Depth and nuance, she gave it all. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. πππ
I think I owe it to her to give TSOKP another try. I might have been a little harsh . But there is no doubt that after Northward, I'm a true believer in the abilities of Lulu. I'll never doubt again. π
Yess I'm so excited βΊοΈ but I can't believe we're gonna have to wait until end of the year π
Yes. It's going to be a long wait. But so far 2025 has been kind / generous. Out of the five dramas I've watched, I only really didn't like one of them. If 2025 keeps it up, LITC will be here in no time. π
Finished episode 9. Wow! What a roller-coaster. Highly humorous, dark and heavy, beautiful and sweet. It had it all. Lulu is really putting in work. I've been loving her bullish and bold tomboy role. However, her sudden change to vulnerable within this episode was really something else. Great acting. XWH is the hero of the day β€οΈ. I'm glad he didn't listen this time.
Tbh, I believe it's because the cdrama side of mdl has an obvious bias towards costume dramas. CDs tend to get inflated ratings here while real drama gets undervalued.
Started late. At episode 8. I'm really enjoying this one. I knew I would. This is proper drama, there is no other way to put it. I think this is going to be the drama that really converts me into a true believer in Bai Lu.
Let's make a bold prediction. Post 2000s talent will be better than pre 2000s talent. This may very well be China's…
Yes. It's all very exciting. They've accumulated talent in all the right places. It feels like the industry is ready to explode with new ideas and things that have never been seen before.
All done. All done. Quite the feel good story. Very satisfying. Very safe. I have a sneaky suspicion this type of ending will become more common in Cdrama. Lol. It's both a good way to wrap things up and the type of message they'd like the general public to see.
That whole body swap sequence ~ Spectacular! Spectacular! The CGI really is something else in this drama. Followed by beautiful moments between the leads. Ai Mi gently easing into roles with a romantic element. All implied, nothing physical, she sells it with a look. Beautifully done.
No, I haven't seen those. I'll check them out. Thank you π

Also, five more episodes and Ai Mi makes it to the end. No jinx π€π€π€
