Doing a full blown war scenes is extensively expensive lol. 😂😂😂 Also in this regard, they are following…
The first half stayed primarily true to the novel—that’s why it was solid; most of the work had already been done. The second act strayed, so you can see that the screenwriter’s weakness lies in rewriting.

The second act got screwed. In the novel, Changyu was at the brink of collapse when an arrow flew from the hills and struct Lord Chengxin. But the lord was beheaded, so it was implied that she beheaded him right before she fainted. this would have been an epic fight scene if filmed correctly.
I've changed my ratings 🥹. the second act really screwed up in quality and now I'm afraid for the third act. This brings back the trauma of Lost You Forever where they totally eff up the third act. 💀☠️
First and foremost, I really like this drama. I think ZLH and TXW knocked it out of the park. For me personally,…
Argh...me too! the handling of Xie Zhang character is pissing me off. He's the anti hero in the whole ass drama and y'all gonna screw him over. It was not balance writing at all, which is contrary to the novel.
They're using AI in this show and it's literally so obvious. They used it for the flood as well as in the flashback…
I think Cdamalamd have been using AI to do alot of special effects lately....which explains the fast turnaround of releases. CGI at least still needs a human to design and create it, so there's still human touch to it.
Pursuit of Jade is not a female-centric narrative; it is equally Xie Zhang’s story as well, as it is a coming-of-age journey for both leads. FCY grows up and learns the hardships and burdens of filial piety, love, and patriotism. Xie Zhang, in turn, learns about love, redemption, and sacrifice. The second arc of the story has watered down their development to cater more to romance-driven viewership, which is unfortunate.
Jade carries a dual symbolism: Xie Zhang is described as a rare piece of jade (as seen in FCY’s conversation with Madam Zhao about the fake marriage), and “jade” is also embedded in Changyu’s name. Thus, “pursuing jade” works on two levels—Xie Zhang pursuing Changyu, and Changyu pursuing Xie Zhang.
The final arc Xie Zhang is instrumental to the closure...if they screw this up, I'm throwing chairs.
FR. No way Changyu would be savvy enough to navigate court politics. If they show this, it's like girl can't even read well 🤣 it's going to make the plot extremely unbelievable. they are already trending on thin waters with all her war merits.

I CAN'T BELIEVE we lost another action scene for Xie Zhang.
