well then , most of us will never see them then anyways!

"Censored" has a very specific meaning and should not be used in the context you have applied. Story has been changed slightly specially in the the last 2 episodes.

After wasting a lot of time on slow motion dialogue delivery and random scenes, they have been trying to squeeze in the complex story within the last few episodes and it shows in the cracking narrative and the off-key cut scene to scene editing.

It is a slippery slope into arrogance so it is good to learn these lessons now!

Right, there's a scene where the Marquis tells her to get behind him but she defiantly replies that she can hold her own! She won't let the guy who loves her protect her and in return he respects her ferocity and confidence on the battlefield! She is yet to learn that respect is also given, not just earned.

I don't see the leaked episodes anywhere.

Agree. She has a major blindspot when it comes to her embracing her own valour in the battlefield while completely disregarding the fact that other Soldiers/Generals have a very similar desire, not just out of duty or love but out of an innate need to be useful and provide protection from impending danger. She has done this twice now to Proud generals , for a change I liked that Li got so angry at her !

that is what has happened alas! not very different from FL's latest weaponry, it demands a sacrifice before being forged LOL :P

you are implying that my criticism is due to the absence of intimate scenes, I wanted to tell you that it isn't. It is odd that people think hot kisses is all it takes to make a great story.

Making everything mainstream palatable in the drama ruins the novel's niche character dynamics in my opinion. It is okay to like it in its watered down version, that is your taste.

BBC Pride and Prejudice is a gem. I think Classics have a very long stable life because of their deep literature quality and exposition of human nature, they can be interpreted/recreated/ re-visualized many many times every decade and we will still love them, no the same way, but we will love them. I dare not compare my love for a classic, to my fascination with a shallow fantasy genre.

I don't think it would have been THAT much of a joy ride had I not read the novel either, but it certainly dimmed the golden halo the Director built in the first 6 episodes. Ah, the pre novel aura!!

As an otherwise avid reader, the drama leaves much to be desired. However, I do agree that some scenes are well shot and delivering what is needed.

I am seriously regretting reading the novel starting 10 episodes ago because the drama continues to be underwhelming in comparison 😕
DO NOT READ THE NOVEL IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY THE BITS AND PIECES IN THE DRAMA

Do NOT trigger the bee hive 👄 coz omg

It was definitely this drama of him for me. Do you have a link of this interview? I personally felt Our Generation was a turning point for ZLH as his acting definitively reached a serious level and that is when I actually started looking forward to more of his work.

I felt the same. Novel is actually completely from FL perspective, ml's role is written to be supportive mostly. That just how the story is. I hope he doesn't pick such scripts again.

Sure! Not taking that ridiculous bait. Toodles!!

Hear Hear!!!!

It is NOT a fast burn, the relationship evolves slowly, episode by episode.... That is why the binging at the end is recommended. Pace is not defined by how early they fall for each other, but how quickly the relationship develops into passionate intimacy and in this case the relationship is definitely not fast burn but nor is it a slow burn because we haven't entered the "having real conversations" territory yet! It is a budding moment by moment romance at best.
