I'm freaking sobbing while watching Ye Li act like nothing is wrong, I don't think her mental health will ever be fine. She is not coming back from that. And, it's been a while since I truly felt dissapointed at a male lead. I usually don't care about male lead characters enough to emotionally invest in them but this time it is hitting me hard. I can't emotionally digest the fact that he broke his promise when it meant everything to her. I don't think she'll be ever able to trust him again. I want her to heal but I don't think Mo Xiu Yao deserves to be her catalyst.
I've read/seen that there was this lack of drama production with the AI boom, and that made the whole real drama productions stall. But since the market/consumers were pretty mad about AI produced dramas, plus all the legal actions were being taken by the A-listers against unliscensed use of their faces by AI, the investors/producers had to pedal back. So imo, to they might be releasing shelved dramas as a stopgap for the time being.
Editing and all the nonesense dialouges are killing me. It is funny when you don't take it seriously but the production value is just too low for a line up like this. I wouldn't mind so much if this was a short format web series but I can not excuse the level of sloppiness with all the bad dubbing, non coherent scene jumps and cheap (vertical drama level cheap) story telling.
So tired of the "2 broken ppl should not be together" or "I want him/her to have a partner with lots…
Although I agree with you there is also the fact that those who grew up with love can give love more easy. And in this case Shin Seo-ri did grow up with her grandmother's love compared to that rich heiress, as we've seen she doesn't have the best relationship with her mother. In reality it is really hard to have matching values with those from different backgrounds, unfortunately fixing an unloved child as an adult takes lots of threaphy and filling the gaps in someone's heart is always an impossible feat.
So far I'm loving this, scenes are so pleasant to look at, my favourite color combo red and black is lovely. I saw some people are not satisfied with Chen Du Ling's acting but I love her acting style, when she goes ballistic you can see the blood lust in her eyes. Not a fan of the reckless nature of the character but given the fact she was still young when she died it is only natural she didn't turn into all knowing master overnight. Though I hope she gets her sh-t together soon.
I've seen the first 25 episodes while it was airing and was holding onto last 7 episodes for 3 months now. And, I can't believe how much I cried during those last 7 episodes. It was just so heartbreaking but I loved every second of it.
spoiler: The ending was sort of a happy one but it breaks my heart that Xie Yong Er and Yu Wan Yin will never have the chance to be bffs in real world since they're not even from the same place.
I'm someone with high imagination and can endure really stupid stuff when it comes to drama/movie plots but I'm only 2 episodes in with this one and I'm suffering. This almost feels like what if Twilight was a pseudo-scifci Chinese short form romance drama. I'll push on just to amuse myself but just to be clear, it is making me reconsider my life choices.
I saw the trailer and went for it immediately. I'm glad that the trailer wasn't baiting at all, it lived up to it and even more. This was so good and I'm perplexed how little talk is around this drama.
Am I tripping or was AI used like a lot in normal human interaction basic scenes? Cause those first couple minutes with old chairmen and others in the room looked so fake. Someone please enlighten me.
He had his time and chance, he really should just move on at this point.
I'm not though. I only made one point, SML had his time and he literally blew it. They were friends that kept in touch, she had her lovers before so why on earth he is so in love when she decides to marry someone? I simply don't like nice guy trope SMLs, he simply doesn't like it that she is no longer under his domain, it is about control not love. Btw, I'll write down for you again, this is not about the male lead. This is about SML and his relationship with FL only.
First of all this was a beautiful "trauma". But the plot fell short on some parts because Ji Ling and Lu Wu Yi was too strong as a combined force hence eclipsing Wu Shi Guang who was supposedly the actual male lead. I couldn't look away from Ju Jing Yi and Chen Du Ling sister duo, their sisterly love was just so beautiful and heartbreaking, I think they deserved more scenes for the ending, we didn't even get a real farewell between them. As for Tian Jia Rui, he is such a force on screen, I've seen him in couple other works and even in My Journey To You, I thought he was the one that everyone was talking about and not Cheng Lei(his charms worked on me later on though) but in this drama he went beyond, I had no idea he had such a charm. Him and Chen Du Ling has that same %1 of something that absulotely captivates you, they're mischeveous, witty and endearing.
Everything aside the real MVP of this drama is none other than its OSTs, because they are the real make or break moment for me and this drama nailed it to the Everest. I can hear the music in my very soul and I love when the OSTs and the plot of the drama have a proper connection lyrics wise. I can just open my music playlist to rewatch the whole drama through its OSTs.
Honorable mention to Ju Jing Yi with red lips, black hanfu and her white skin combo moments because they were just otherwordly, she looked unreal, her beauty made my heart weep.
At this point we'll be getting another heartwrenching ending from this director. For all the reasons that this drama makes me happy are also the very ones end up breaking my heart and that is really cruel. Some please recommend me some light hearted romance/comedy, I need some uplifting.
... what can we do about other ppl's opinion. I prefer a person like Ji Ling in rl. Chi Wen is also a super nice…
We all had a ji ling in us until s/he grew up to become a chi wen, that's why ji ling's scenes with chi wen were so heartbreaking, it was so bittersweet for him to kill his own innocence/youth, I was totally ugly crying when ji ling questioned his own existence.
