Is it me or does Ci Sha looks like a younger version of Hu Ge? On another note...started this and watched 4 episodes and it's pretty good. I like the cast thus far. The FL playing Rong Er works for me. I don't always like Guo Jing cos some actors who played his role in the past came across too stiff or too dense but Ci Sha is not annoying me. Haha.
I like Crystal but her role here is too unreal and not likeable for me. I'm up to ep 3 and considering if I want to continue. I want to watch her interactions with some of my fave actors but right now, I just want to fast-forward.
Why is the rating so low? This is an interesting show. Worth watching. Very funny presentation and the angle on relationship they tackle on the show is very unique.
I clearly waited 4 good years for this drama to air, and now that it has, I'm sitting on my remote, afraid to…
It's very good. If you like pitting of wits and are intrigued by mind games, you will enjoy this a lot. If you're looking for action, maybe not so much.
Will we get the same cast if S3 takes another 4 to 5 years to produce? ML for sure but the rest? I'm glad that we saw minimal changes in S2 but even then... But have to say that FX looks so much better in S2. That hair!
I think FL was a bit useless in S1 but in S2, we saw she's quite smart and mature for a princess that used to be sickly and didn't go out much. I'm really glad they didn't make her stupid about her brother.
For those who have read the Chinese novel, can you tell me around where S2 ends in there? I may want to go read it.
He had a genuine strong friendship with Ye Qing Mei - one can feel the admiration. In memory of her he takes care…
Yep, sure we can see how he became proud of FX cos of his behavior etc. But it still doesn't explain the depth of his feelings for FX, especially considering the truth. He was willing to go all out for FX and his feelings runs very deep. There was always a hint of something more than what we can see...which I was never able to put a finger to. So I'm very excited by eggspice's reply and am looking forward to seeing that arc.
I really love the Fan family...the father, mom, sister, and brother. But was there ever any explanation as to why the father loves FX so much even though he knew the truth all along? I mean we can see his genuine affection, pride and concerns but it seemed that it was never explained why he adored FX considering FX grew up away from the family. The sister stayed with him when they were children so can understand their bond...I just never get that part about the dad.
From 1 to 10, how would you rate S1 and S2.?I am curious
I rate both 10. When I watched S1, I wasn't so committed to the story and somehow got distracted and lost interest at the last few episodes. I rated it an 8 then. I watched it again before watching S2 and revised my rating to 10. I love how they weave the story together so cleverly. The dialogues are also very brilliant. Just wish S3 comes sooner.
I thought it's a bit strange that Wu Zhu couldn't detect there was no breathe in that carriage with the mannequin. Also, why did Shadow taint his knife with poison when their intention was not to kill FX?
I get you. For this particular show, I'm not so big on the fight scenes...even for S1, I watched this show for the mind games and witty dialogues. But yes, if they add more fight scenes, it would spice the drama up for sure. I've read many talking about snow stride...need to go check it up.
Maybe not this show but some of the other cdramas have great fight scenes. Mysterious Lotus Casebook and A Journey to Love are two of the most recent ones I can think of. I've watched many old HK movies and TV shows so I know what you're talking about. I think techniques and fight skills have leveled up a lot in those cdramas with good martial fighting scenes.
