i cannot deal with this fcking pedo (or wtv you guys want to call him) and people trying to justify the relationship…
You know what, you're right. One time I reconnected with some high-school friends on Facebook (kinda shows my age 😅) and we started to reminisce about the highxul days. And I remember certain girls who used to beg me to take them to the "cool" parties to mingle with the adults. They all talked about how horrible those men treated them and during that time they didn't see it cause it was cool. Oh I have plenty of my own experience and I can tell you, a mind of a high xul is not mature even when you're 18 years.
Oooh Akira hun, you can't have your cake and eat it too... I actually didn't see that twist coming cause I thought this is one of the fluffy fluff per usual but nope, this ine has more depth and I ain't complaining. Something about seeing these characters in high school plus the plot of having some some with an older guy triggered my memory. Don't know about you lot but when I was in high school, hooking up or being in a relationship with an adult was considered sooo cool. And boi I experienced things 🙈 the weird part is, now on reflection I see what was wrong etc but in those years it was the coolest thing to do. And this is why I will always have an issue with an adult dating a high xul kid (oh and I don't care how old you're in high school) our brains then functions so differently. I'm so glad, I got out and not varnish like the others but definitely mentaly scarred. And hence why I won't express any interest in the Epstein files...cause I witnessed things like that and more. Okay, let me stop as I'm going too deep.
So apparently it's IMPOSSIBLE for a man and a woman to just be friends or one to help the other in a platonic way....Like Yan Ke, Sir, respectfully, if Si Mu never liked you that way for 300 years in counting, what makes you think she is just gonna wake up and suddenly love you and have a 300 yr regret 🙆♀️🤷♀️...She didn't like you then, she don't like you now..NewsFlash. And even Jiang Ai broke it down to him. But alas, he don't wanna hear and ofc it's nursing his villainhood which will be coming soon. Jiang Ai is messy and I'm hear for it...hehehe. For the first time I'm intrigued by another character other than the leads and the boy.
Binged through the express and came out satisfied! I hope more people will enjoy this show and leave some good…
Say that again...Also really annoyed at Douban rating which is 4.8?? I think 😠oh and it's just based on 2,000+ votes. I don't understand humans sometimes.
I thought doctors are very busy people so this one seems to have too much time on his hands that he is cyber stalking a stranger...or is she a stranger 🤔😏🤨 guess time will tell. For now it's all shrouded in mystery
Gotta say Arthur Chen is living every boy's fantasy dream with this one and you can see how much he is enjoying every sec of it. I mean imagine, being paired up with a sexy older jie jie and play flirty flirty with her all the time.....wow, every teenager's wet dream ...hehe. And Arthur be like, I'm gonna take one for the boys, and go big or go home with this role....I see you Sir 😉 He Simu with a sense of touch is me at Disneyland...I'm like a loose canon. Love Beyond the Grave...and why do I feel like this title is setting me up for a sad ending. I mean their love can only survive beyond the grave if both of them are spirits 🤷♀️no. I don't want a beyond the grave love...I want their love with both surviving and in it beyond the grave. Okay, a little bone to pick for me how the ep. are ending...like why oh why. It's when my suspense-meter is up and done, ep. Ends 🤓☹️
I just realized we've got a lot of villains in this drama 😂
Oh too many villains...I didn't even include the Foggy-villains...yes, Grandson little Li was a mini-villain. It's like he tip-toed around villainhood...huh
Finally finished Pursuit of Jade...yeaaaaah. My eyes look like panda eyes but me don't care. Not sure overall I would give it a 9.1 like ☝️here cause I found some aspects more great and some not so much. Okay, as much as it's easy for me to rant (yes, a lot to say about the writing) I'm just gonna focus on the acting which is a 💯 across the board. Omg...the acting in this is impeccable...these characters took me into their world and I gotta say, towards the end, I was reluctant to leave. Anywho, let's talk about the villains. Yes, a round of aplause 👏👏👏🙌 like they stole the show for me. So here are my top 5 villains in POJ 5) Grandpa Li - This old man is what we call foolish. His best line was "I acted like a villain for nothing" yes, gramps, absolutely nothing. He should have listened to uncle's advise about going to retirement early and enjoy his last days. Well, he got it but only in disgrace. 4) Puppet Emporor- If grandpa Li is foolish, this Emporor is comedic foolish. I LOL every single damn time including his mental breakdown ep. I need to Google this actor cause lol 😆 3) Obsessed-crazy Qi Min - Now this one might be you all's fav. I loved his obsession scenes but the thing is I've watched too many dramas with crazy men obsessed with one woman so this wasn't new. However this guy stole my heart with how he manipulated his brother...like wth, his little coughs in-between and fake care was just genius. 2) Uncle - Can I firstly say, Uncle is hot. Okay I loved uncle's zen in all of this. His silence was deadly but his words were of frustration...it's like he just didn't care. His character was the most puzzling to me especially after knowing everything. It's as if he consciously chose to be a bad person to protect the nation from the stupid royal family. Ofc in his own way. 1) The heir apparent Sui- Dare I say, I have never enjoyed a villain the same way I enjoyed this one. It's like the writer just wanted him on screen and yes, I ended up getting annoyed at some point but the actor has a way to just pull you in. I wanted to slap, punch, stomp on this little brat and yet, I felt for him in that last scene. I'm blown away🤯 Honourable mention to the late Emporor who was none other than a sadistic selfish douche. Again, this drama made me feel all the feels without actually seeing this character. Now this is what you call a good plot. Anywho, whenever I think of POJ, I think I will mostly remember the villains cause boi oh boi, they came, ate and left no crumbs.
Wow the Visuals are Visualising here and I ain't complaining.... It's like, how much do you want the leads to be hot, sexy and flirting The director = Yes yeah And I am enjoying every moment of them. Xiao Xiao aka Simu, are you sure you're not feeling anything cause we are all hot and bothered over here watching you two 😉
They married, had two children, and built an empire—largely like a big province in the north—with no slavery.…
Oh thanks for giving me an update on how it ended. Now that you reminded me of the main plot, it explained why I took a pause on reading. I remember thinking, too much plotting and war etc so I paused...huh
At this point I am TOO CLEVER for this drama cause I mean not only was I (and some of you all) right about PJB's identity, I freaking saw that coming. Like really...where did SA suddenly bought the audacity to do what she did cause so far, she had absolutely none. So I wonder in whatever high place she was, to think oh it's cool to follow my deranged ex-boyfriend aka deep fake to anywhere and turn my phone off 🤯🤔🤔 siiigh, smh. I've got no words. At this point WHJ is being paid for running cause the amount of times we have seen him run around (aimlessly sometimes) is funny. You know what would be interesting is for SA to actually turn up to be psycho but we all know they won't dare go there. So, who is the boyfriend killer...let me 🤔 My theory is its either someone who is obsessed with SA and either wants to eliminate what he/she thinks is an obstacle to SA's life or happiness to possess her in a controlling way. So if I think this way it opens up to who else is close to SA besides Mr sulky photographer and Bartender unni or anyone who benefits from SA being alone and single.
Just a rhetorical question and I’m just thinking out loud here, can a guy who is in the middle of a war zone…
Like you said, there are different types of folks, however this guy was a nut job and I highly doubt he would be one to actually act on it. It appears that was all talk and no action. To add onto the types of people, there are some with violence tendencies who feed off events like this. I once came across through my job someone who was volunteer at war zones etc. He described the events like it was something out of the movie. And shrugs off each time I asked how that felt witnessing all that. In the beginning, I thought he is dissociating but later found out that going to those places was his coping mechanism for his violence tendencies. He was such a fascinating client.
