Loved it. Low key. Focused on OTP. Loads of dialogues and situations to show their various facets and the slow growth of affection. The casualness was not forced..the getting together was a slice of life bit.
The SECOND ML for a change gives you heartache...you want to reach in and hug him.
One of the best SML out there - won't forget. Will wait to see him do an ML soon.
LLTG SML was superb. And now he's in as ML in a few dramas.
Same with Kim Woo Bin - the most heart break SML ever.. In THE HEIRS
He is SO GOOD in TRUE COLOUR (as SML - I so shipped his droll character .. restrained and yet witty and full of depth - AND of course DELISH to look at)
Ying forged divorce documents, what happened to their kid? and was gloating over making her an international bigamist.....what…
It was FAR MORE delightful to watch their younger versions in school played by the sprightly Landy Li and Luo Yun Xi
You wished they'd played it as adults too LOL
Wait don't get me wrong I totally dug their acting .. and like you not so much their roles ..
I LOVE LOVE LOVE angsty romances with aches and hurts and pendulum swings of emotion .. BUT here making Tiffany's role a passive ALMOST DOORMAT .. just took the fun away.
I understand that she she went through HELL but still cant imagine someone's core character becoming so DAFT and "come screw me" sort.
Anyway inspite of all this I still watched and enjoyed it LOL Way more than I have many other recent ridiculous dramas which have garnered raves ..
P.S. what actually left an awful after taste was the SILLY playacting by the OTP as 'school kids' EEYWOOOO!!!! SO SO SO SOSO SO CHEEESY!!!
Especially given how well the REAL younger versions enacted their characters ..
I don't know to whom you are referring. The only octogenarian that I am aware of who is worth 'shipping' is Yan…
😂 💃🕺💃
I can imagine. Isn't it amazing what beauty and schools of Xianxia - Wuxia philosophy is packed into it....enriching so many of the convos and interactions.
I love the "conflicts" and personal goals and beliefs clashing or and working in tandem for common goals or not.
Love the Grey's and the richness.
I have just put on PTW Sword Snow Stride. Hooked at go. Looks VERY RICHLY done.
But the turd drop at the end completely stank up the entire drama for me .. bringing into sharp focus every glaring flaw that I was taking a 'blurry view' of, letting go past with indulgence ..
It made me SO mad that I let go of the 'gaps' and got tricked to the end to be left with a ending like that !!!!! Unbelievable ..
I began with a 9.5 .. fell to a 9.0 .. then to a 8.5 and in the end almost slapped a 6.0 but because of the very reasons you mentioned (my journey following the candy trail was rewarding as was the realness of the slow burn) that I decided to leave it with an 8/10
But seriously!!!! This is SO insulting to the viewers!!
I still gave it a 8/10 ONLY for the early eps and the OTP
(OH maybe I should attribute a whole point JUST for the kid ;-p Is he up for rental?? I'll pick the cutie over any hot ML :-D
GROW UP FAST FU BO HAN ;-p you are one heck of an actor He's ONLY 12 y.o. and ALREADY has 39 DRAMAS (I kid you not!!!) under his belt. Go Figure!
I was not going to harp and pick on the cheese-holes that weakened the drama significantly .. Now I feel like giving vent to it .. But it's OK .. I am not riled up because the drama overall got a 7.5 LOL Kinda deserves it.
I don't know to whom you are referring. The only octogenarian that I am aware of who is worth 'shipping' is Yan…
I think he did what he thought was right at the time to preserve his 'temple'. Killings during war for land, or ideology always fells the 'innocent' .. your innocent is my guilty ... says each side ..
That's why in this case I do not see him as 'evil' but just someone of a deep faith in his belief .. Neither Fuzi nor Yan Se consider him 'evil' or even an 'enemy' .. more a 'rival camp'.
EVERNIGHT is wonderful for me because it shows all the various 'beliefs' and 'compasses' that the characters hold to guide their actions .. ONLY some are motivated by "pure lust of power and self interest" they have NO larger goal but 'world domination' for their own ego ..
The Grand Priest does not fall in that category at all .. Just that he worships a different ideal .. and is willing to be imprisoned or die for it. Once he feels he has found what he is searching for .. he relinquishes his 'crown' and walks away. GLORIOUS and GRAND that was IMO.
I gave it an 8.5

So triggered?!
Looking forward to see him again - in a MAIN ROLE

I wasnt paying attention to the format.
Thank you ;-p
Did you watch the Drama? I didn't see a rating on your page :-D
Isn't everyone's cuppa of course.
High Nerdy Sci Fi.
But the OST is again ONE OF THE BEST in Dramaland.
💃🕺💃
