It's coming to Viki. At least it has appeared today on Coming Soon section.
A bit disappointed that the previous cast is not the real one, I was excited for Wu Kang Ren in this. Still, Ivy and Fandy are a reason enough to give it a try. Tony is a bonus :)
does it have bromance between Jiang Yi Jie and Gao Zhi Yao?
If you mean actual bromance then yes, you could say so. They seems to gradually develop a form of friendship and they are super fun to watch whenever together.
If you mean "bromance", as this word seems to have gradually evolved in drama community, meaning censored romance then no, I don't think there's any hint of romance between them, minus a few light-hearted jokes.
Unfortunately no English subs but it's here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc8M1wVJOpHz0AVoJmGjCN9v19CvXLuZ5
Aw, thank you so much! Although my Mandarin "skill" (emphasis on inverted comas) would probably allow me to understand maybe 1-2% of what they're saying, I'll bookmark this link :)
ok os just finished ep 10 - this is one of the best dramas I’ve watched in a long time. Its so beautifully acted…
There are some definite Taiwanese gems out there. Personally I'd recommend: More Than Blue (Taiwanese version - the drama, not the movie) Born for the Spotlight Let's Talk About Chu Copycat Killer
There's also this drama called At The Moment, it's like an anthology of different stories. I didn't like all, but I really loved the second episode and I would recommend it even as an individual story.
Supposedly Someday or One Day (from the same creators as this one) is really good, but I haven't watched it so far.
This series has really flown under people’s radar. It’s only trending in Taiwan and no where else.
They're really not promoting it much from what I've seen. It's even difficult to find an official trailer on YouTube. Like, the only official one I found was on Netflix Taiwan YouTube channel and I could only find it by using the original Mandarin title. I think this drama has a serious potential to become an international hit, but... 🤷♀️
Does the FL continue being a bit annoying? I want to like it, but the FL's confusion and disorganized state is…
I assume you're annoyed with Pin Yu (the reporter girl). Wait for Hsiao Tung (the ballerina girl) to appear. Way more likeable by my standards ;) (though I don't really mind neither)
this would be my first Taiwanese drama. it says 18+, is there any explicit sex/rape or nude?
There is a rape scene. It's not explicit, there's no nudity etc. But it's nevertheless still very powerful and hard to watch (emotional damage). Aside from that, there's quite a lot of violence, domestic abuse etc.
I'm on episode 6 and just have to leave it here: this drama is way better than I thought it would be. It's been so good so far. The storytelling, cinematography, soundtrack are all amazing. I certainly hope it's gonna blow up more because it deserves way more attention than I see it getting on MDL so far.
Could someone clarify the episode release schedule? The last six episodes on kisskh have unusable subtitles, WeTV…
Yeah, I'd be grateful for some clarification as well. I watch on Viki and I've stopped myself on episode 33, because I'm scared to proceed and be left hanging there without anything to continue😅
Actually, I don't think this drama has a female lead per se. If we talk love interest, out of all three main female…
Oh, the dynamics between Xifang Tao and Master Puzhu are one of my favourite aspects of this drama and I can't believe I forgot about them while writing the no-romance part, cause I'm seated for their tragic sort-of-romance. I think Liu Yan might be the least difficult to analyse, though not necessarily the easiest to help considering this therapy session of yours. I think the poor guy crossed the point of no return, where - even if somehow FZ could be brought back to life - he wouldn't be able to live with himself and everything he did... (I'm on ep 28 btw). I actually thought the pacing has been real good and pretty consistent (once again, that's from the POV of someone who have not read the novel). The creators surely did a fantastic job with fan service and instigating ship-wars. TLC has at least *one* ambiguous moment with almost every character on the show ;) (And yes, despite that, I actually view his entanglement with Liu Yan or devotion/obsession with Fang Zhou through a platonic lens too :)) Agreed 100% on the visuals, this is probably the prettiest cdrama I've watched - the choice of colours and this overall visual as if the scenes had been painted with a brush looks stunning. I probably don't get a lot of cultural references, aside from those buddhist ones and all the talk about obsession and stuff.

I don't really pay that much attention to how the cast on MDL has been edited to be honest ;) What I do care about is the story itself and just based on this, alone I would say FZh is definitely the most important person in TLC's life (and after Fan Zhou it's probably Liu Yan; among the current group of TLC's companions, I actually feel he has the most affection towards Chi Yun, but that could be my bias bcs I really like his character myself). As far as I'm concerned, I'd love the story to proceed without any romance at all, but for the viewers who need to pick a clear love interest for the main character, I guess A'Shui is the most evident choice among all female characters :P I haven't read the novel though, so it's all drama-based observations.

The drama just started streaming on Viki...
It's all about the walk apparently ;)
