The philosophical debates is one of highlights for me. When they both sharing an opinion, I keep thinking how…
Yes, me too. I love their convo and debates. At first I thought this was from a novel but I realized there is no novel. The lines are very well written, especially in Mandarin. The language can convey so much depth in just a few words.
Sometimes the storyline is a bit confusing due to the constant toggling between white and black hair lol. I'd followed the story but midway forgot if the current story is present or past. I had to go back to rewatch ep 16 to confirm. But what I do love about this drama is the dialogue. They've got a lot of depth. Yesterday, HRY summed about about the mortal life to BJS in a few lines.
凡人一生、不过百年、却要经历生老病死悲欢离合。短短百年、欢喜之时、恍若一瞬。悲痛之时、却似万年。
It was so good, I had to pause there and then to copy the words. For those who do not understand Mandarin, this is the translation:
“A mortal’s life lasts no more than a hundred years, yet within that time, one must endure birth, aging, illness, and death, along with the joys and sorrows of parting and reunion. In these fleeting hundred years, moments of happiness pass in the blink of an eye, while times of sorrow seem to stretch on for ten thousand years.”
I‘m at first episodes can anyone tell me if it gets better? The story telling from the beginning seems a bit…
The first 2 -3 episodes are not so great cos of a lack of hook but it does get better as their history unfolds. It really depends on your personal preference as well. I think it got better for me from ep 4 or 5 onwards. I'm also watching because I like the leads and the cast.
I really love how Hua Ru Yue made her grand entrance riding on top of her white snake. When she was talking about her fave color in the mortal realm, I thought she'll say white. 🤣
In the scene where she attempted to kill the white snake, I thought it was obvious the sword didn't touch the snake? But somehow the snake dropped and there was a pool of blood. Also that sword that was pierced into the white snake is the one we're seeing in ep 11 preview right? So the plan was for Ling Er to repair it while she's at this god forsaken place? Very interesting.
I'm pretty sure he already knew since Episode 1, or even earlier. The line 'I could never fail to recognize my…
Yeah, he was definitely suspicious and kept testing her. But each time, she outwitted him and caused him to doubt. Let's see if she's able to outwit him completely today.
Wow, the preview in episode 11 seems to confirm what we've been thinking, with more plot twists. It's looking thrilling now. Can't wait to see ML's jaw drop to the ground.
I've just started this series and somehow it feels off to me. I don't know what seems off. I don't think it's…
The intro lacks a hook. If I hadn't read the synopsis or seen the trailer, I might have dropped it. I think it only got a bit more interesting when they started revealing scenes of the past. Another thing that was off for me was the background comic relief effect. It was annoying, and though it lessened, I still hear it in the latest episodes.
I read so many comments about the dubbed voice and while watching, I thought they were using their voice. I thought they sounded like themselves. But I'm more annoyed with those comic relief sounds in the background. I hope we hear less of it as the drama continues. Honestly, the initial episodes were rather meh for me but I'm keeping up cos I'm interested to see the intensity of their feud.
I rated 10 as well but I felt that the 2 last episodes were not the same quality. Some characters just made stupid…
I felt one death was unnecessary. As for the pace, I guess it would be nicer if they gave more breathing space but compared to many Cdramas, this one really concluded properly. At least viewers were left satisfied by the ending...unlike many others where the reunite scene is at the gate or from a distance and we have to imagine their happily ever after. 😝
