Let me know if this ever gets subbed by someone other than mgtv. I know to stay away from anything subbed by them.

The first 2/3 of the drama were great. But then it started to drag. The ending was not that satisfiying (maybe because I have yet to watch the extra episodes). Also, for a drama that had a female lead that was so flirty, why were there no kisses? I am not sure exactly what went wrong, but after watching the first few episodes I was expecting more than what was delivered.

I am ok with quite a few characters, but like you said, the issue is when they get too much screen time. I find that usually 4 main leads plus about 15 supporting characters and a few guest characters is good. Here I felt like every few episodes there were new characters added that were not even that important and there was something about the storytelling that felt off. The cgi, editing and sound effects were also below average. I worked a few years with video editing so I notice these things and they bother me. Xu Kai deserves a better production than what he got here.

There are way too many characters. In some episodes the main leads would show up 2 or 3 times only and a lot of scenes were of supporting characters and the villains. I don’t like when dramas have many characters.

Even Xu Kai cannot carry this one but if you are a big fan, then I guess it is still worth watching just for him.

I know you asked for a reason to watch this drama, but I will give you one to NOT watch. There are a lot of better dramas out there and this will feel like a waste of time. It is really boring and badly produced.

It has been a while since I came across such a bad wuxia. The storytelling, the cgi, the sound effects, everything is so full of flaws. I am pretty sure the rating is only above 7 because of Xu Kai because the drama itself is a 5 or 6 max.

I was unnable to sit thought an entire episode without skipping at least one scene. I even ended up skipping entire episodes just to get to the end faster. Not even Xu Kai could carry this one.

Yes, I can now access it, just did not have time to watch it yet. Thank you. ^^

Ikr? Japanese dramas are always a struggle. A lot less subbers compared to Korean and Chinese, at this point even Thai dramas are subbed more often.

I did not, but I have one now. Thank you for explaining how to do it.

Yeah, at this rate I don’t know when we will be able to watch this with subs. 7 months in and only 3 episodes have been subbed.

Damn, I was too late. Have been checking this page every once in a while but I guess I did not check back for over 2 months and missed your comment. Now it is locked. I don’t even know how to add friends on live journal. ^^'

Well, at least we know she will not have to worry about her mother-in-law. Worst case scenario she will probably think the female lead is too good for her son. LOL

Jokes aside, it is hard when nothing you do is ever good enough. I had the best grades back when I was still going to school and still my father cared more about his nephew cause he is a boy. He wanted sons and got me and my younger sister instead. ^^'

Butterflied Lover, also a mgtv drama and even has the same actress playing the female lead as this one.

Lol It is not working. I have tried learning Chinese in the past and gave up once I realised it took longer to draw a chinese character than to write a full sentence. Speaking is also pretty hard since it is a tonal language.

There are 3 Chinese dramas right now that I want to watch but will not because of the usual mgtv horrible subs. Thankfully, one of them was picked by Viki.

I have subbed in the past and the things that are the most time consumming are transcription (putting what is said into text) and timing (making the text appear exactly when the character is speaking). If they are already going to the trouble of subbing, why not do it properly? To me it seems like they just don’t want to spend money hiring a human translator and are just fixated on using some cheap machine translation.

Their ad revenue on YouTube alone would be enough to pay a translator and there would still be a lot left. They also have the channel membership. It is shameful that they have people paying to join their membership when they don’t even put out quality subs. Sigh

Ouch, that hurt. Was expecting a different ending.

Maybe I got lost in all the confusion but the third victim was someone who originally was supposed to be dead until the ML saved her in the first episode. How can someone who was supposed to be dead go missing later on? Did no one go missing to begin with until he changed things or was the 3rd victim someone else?

Also, the killer was someone I suspected pretty much since I first saw that person, but the motivations and the way the victims were chosen was not satisfying to me, especially when you consider the killer was supposed to be a smart and meticulous person.

The fl’s aunt was clearly someone who wanted nothing to do with books, just because she was carrying one does not mean it was hers or that she was going to read it. She did not fit the victims profile at all, she was the clear opposite of a woman who likes to read.

Another thing that bothered me is how a certain person was able to recognize who the killer was from a distance and in the dark while no one else was ever able to see his face.

Oh well, at the end of the day it was still a drama I enjoyed watching. Not the best time travel/crime drama I have watched but certainly not the worst either.

I liked it but as expected from a drama that has time travel, there were a few plot holes?

Sooo messy. Almost like an amature was given the job of adapting a novel into a drama. The ending made me feel like I was scammed. Instead of money, what was stolen was my time and brain cells.
