If they hit the ground running, I hope they don't have extraneous flashbacking interrupting the flow of the plot.…
To me flashbacks are a good way to quickly introduce/make me connect with the characters. Tbh I don't like dialogue heavy dramas. My mind easily wanders off if it doesn't get visual stimulation:)
I feel like I need an organisational chart to watch this series - except they all look so similar it may not help much lol. Every time someone enters the stage, I need a moment to figure out where to place him, but by that time he's already said a bunch of stuff and I'm like waiiiit what? I think it'd be best to skim watch a few eps to figure out who is who and what's happening, and then start again. But I'm not gonna do that, so I'm one confused puppy so far… Also, please tell me ep3 has more action. Ep2 was so dialogue-heavy I kept mentally checking out and had to rewind a few times.
The earthy muted tones and a revolving door of similarly looking characters having long conversations almost put me to sleep on ep1. I don't mind dense plots from the start, but I prefer to get some background on the protagonists first so I actually care about the stakes and outcome. Thankfully the recap at the end made me curious about the story:) Btw I really liked the lighting here - half of the frames looked like sth from a medieval painting<3
Halfway through and I've no idea where this plot is going lol. It's more like a bunch of random arcs connected with - what else? - thirst for revenge/hidden identity, cause Jianghu is a small world where everyone knows everyone and have personal or generational grudge to settle;))
But! I'll finish this for sure one day because I just lurve this bunch of nutty characters<3 Starting with the sexually frustrated, ingenious torturer, cat mommy villain with a pastime of skinning people. Magnetic charismatic MLs giving me auditory orgasms with their murmurings - 20 eps and they rarely speak in a normal tone, just this leisurely murmur sometimes delivered right into the FL ear… My love for the FL is of a tempestuous nature - I'd love to reach in and shake her then cuddle her to death… it's complicated lol. Just some all around colourful personalities to go with the amazing art direction in this drama! Seriously, amazing art direction!
Amazing. Art. Direction.
Also, the powerful, evocative, soulful animation pieces. Amazing. I need to track the team behind the animation and check their other works.
So anyway, this drama .. a little twisted ...a little funky ...a little slow-paced and melodramatic ...a lot mystique ...and it should be renamed to bloody romances, cause there's certainly more than one;)
Super high level of production from so many aspects. Dominantly it's a complicated political wuxia.
Yes, Word of Honor sorry. When it aired last year there was no VIP for intl fans so we were way behind on eps. People were stalking youku and begging to let them pay ...any amount. Finally, they came up with a payment method halfway ...but only for apple users. It was a whole bloody drama:D which is both a fond and traumatic memory to me lol. But the fandom was one of the most fun and creative I've ever seen. Anyway I get the waiting pains;)
The most important thing is almost everyone's IQ is online. They are smart, not stupid. No time-wasting and unreasonable…
Longxi airs today?!?! I'm so behind. Any and all Ma Boyong stories are also on my list:) especially spy thrillers!I really hope it doesn't disappoint. Thank you for letting me know! Now I have too much to watch lol.
"It's my fault. That time when charu claimed that she would expose our immoral relationship I just didn't want to encumber you so I agreed to implant anti-sex inside me for showing my resolution but I didn't predict that she came for you and threatened you with not detoxifying my anti-sex then she imbibed that Qie into your body…" Now, that's what I call a tragic love story lol.

Haha! Watching an ongoing drama is always a trade-off. Hoping to get immersed cause it's such a fun experience ...but then when I recall shamelessly begging youku for VIP last year with WOH... That was torture;)
It's a pretty good mix so far, feels well-balanced between the martial arts, romance and political parts. If you're…
Thank you. I'm in a mood for adventurous wuxia more than romance and politics, so that's what I was hoping for:) Lol it's never too early to ask about plotholes. Some overachievers get them at ep1;)
Hi all:) I plan to start this when it lands on Netflix. Could you tell me what's the general feel so far? Fast-paced wuxia, intriguing mystery, fluffy romance? Also, how many plotholes on the horizon?;)
