Thanks for sharing. My friend plays Gu Qin, and she is offended by how the casts abuses the instrument…I reminded…
That user tends to share first on their bilibili account, followed by their youtube account. It was the same for Coroner's Diary and all other music. They will do so at some point :)
It is! Him at doing stunts/wirework, and Cheng Yi with sword scenes. Impressive work.
Whoops. I don't think this ballet segment is available on Youtube but in the meantime, enjoy multiple loops of Luo Yunxi's wirework in this video short!
I just watched this episode. I love seeing her on-screen. She always adds something and never lets you down with…
Her performance where she holds the tension with Leo Yunxi is definitely noticed. Especially with minimal eyeliner, her eye-acting is laudable. Portraying inner conflict and more- This is the kind of nuancing that will make me a fan of her, at some point. They are matching wits and he has to win over her compassion. There's also that nostalgic TVB feel in her getup and portrayal, which is also being mentioned on Weibo via multiple posts using hashtag #艾米水龙吟造型古早TVB味# (I share two of many posts):
He'll go crazy for a bit and then get over it because he's gone through a lot. Luo Yunxi summarised Tang Lici's…
I would enjoy seeing Chi Yun and Shen Langhun give their takes on what Luo Yunxi said. Chi Yun will say something super-funny but also possibly surprising, and Shen Langhun would say something profoundly simple yet deeply touching.
PTSD was first known as "shell shock" from the after-effects of artillery shelling such as shockwaves,…
In episode 23, Liu Yan's behaviour is absolutely incorrigible and at that point from my POV, a merciful quick death is not what he deserves. Alen Fang's performance here is spot-on. It's creepy in a different way from when Liu Yan was convincing Qiaoyi Qiankun, but no less disturbing.
We can see he's already inflicted some form of physical torture on her, and he has used a bug on her. In his disgusting words to Zhong Chunji, he attacked her self-worth and achievements, twisted her achievements and motives to become something completely untrue, and basically tried to foster/ strengthen Imposter Syndrome within her. He wants her to self-destruct in self-loathing at some point, and he tries to destroy the decency that he sees in her. And who says she willingly went along with whatever he wanted to do to her? She wanted to live.
To twist the knife further inside her heart, he kindly takes food and places it in front of her, as if serving her. He wants to use her to kill Tang Lici. He also wants Tang Lici's friends to self-destruct and kill themselves, so Tang Lici can feel the pain he feels as he himself self-destructs but he himself can barely cope with (except by coming up with twisted ways to make Tang Lici suffer).
You know what I found myself really thinking about in the last few episodes with the war and whatever that ZCJ…
PTSD was first known as "shell shock" from the after-effects of artillery shelling such as shockwaves, especially for soldiers during and after World War I. Shell shock was PTSD + TBI (traumatic brain injury). PTSD indirectly replaced shell shock as a diagnosis in 1983.
I like what you have pointed out about Zhong Chunji and PTSD. Lying can be a symptom or coping mechanism as a survival strategy, when someone is suffering from PTSD. Lying can perpetuate a cycle of fear and shame, so as not to experience rejection. I'll put the rest of what I'm saying about Zhong Chunji since episode 23 under spoilers in my next comment:
10 minutes ago, WoF official Weibo account releases a lovely visual clip showcasing four characters and their musical action: Tang Lici, Liu Yan, Hong Gu and Fang Zhou:
Episode 1 isn't catching me at this moment, but I believe it's the mood I'm in and nothing to do with the drama. I'll try again when all episodes are out, since I also like Wang Duo's acting. Right now between 2023 wuxia parody "Egg and Stone" plus possibly Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 3:To Chang'An (very proper wuxia stuff there!) and of course WoF, it's a lot on the plate. Have you watched "Twelve Letters"? 12 episodes, 45 minutes each. Modern drama.
FangYiLun resembles ChenFeiYu in a lot of ways, and LiuYan’s twisted feelings for TLC is a lot like TaXianJun…
He's very talented as an artist, and I believe a lot of people underestimate his training and background in voice dubbing and more. He is the only actor at this point suited to play Tang Lici. His ability to be Tang Lici includes more than ten years of ballet experience (including at least one year as a dance instructor at School of Dance at the Macao Conservatory), which also included being lead dancer for the contemporary ballet performance "Flying To The Moon".
Like I've always said, FAKE PRINCESS/woo-is-me girl has ALWAYS been the TYPE that valves status and has a ego/pride…
Everyone has their own journey, especially when it comes to trying to deal with traumatic events. People don't always get things right and as the audience (unlike the characters), we get the bird's eye view.
I believe ZCJ needs time to grow, and I hope ZCJ does right in the end and like Tang Lici, I want good things to happen for ZCJ and A-Shui. I believe many of us want good things to happen for those in Team Tang Lici such as Chi Yun, Shen Langhun, the gals, and Xiao Shi.
ZCJ hasn't had it easy. She's surrounded by misogynistic leaders of the Central Plains Sword Alliance who insult her class and background and don't mind smacking her down or having her punished simply for disagreeing with them, which created insecurities. I wonder whether her Shifu has ever stood up for her with any of them at any time (because I doubt he did), and then she has this horrible encounter that she needed to be rescued from, which will definitely give her PTSD.

Some of that impressiveness includes doing more than ten pirouettes in a row: https://mydramalist.com/755725-shui-long-yin#comment-24106346
