Now on ep 56, and feels like too much dragging. Same torture, same struggles. They should have shortened it by…
:-D
I had a good ride with Pursuit of J for a while and then it got 'DUMB' and the writing became dull and unimaginative dropped it
The ONLY reason I was DYING to do the 60+12 ep marathon with RN was that there was SO much richness, depth, dimensionality to ALL the characters NOT just the leads and the PLOT of course .. so much of which I did not catch in the first round.
So is the guy always suffering nd being a weakling nd not gaining any good winning feats or more?
He has his dao .. He sees his actions and takes the path that is his dao ,, he "doesn't regret nor apologise nor compensate" .. he 'endures' the consequences of his actions and owns them
im wondering was it successful in China during its airing?
LOL
I just did a Rewatch and came to post .. Have a look at the posts I made today on WHY it didnt garner as much acclaim and awards .. and my two but thoughts on that
Did the crowned prince just finally figured out her real identity in ep53?? DAMN!! I always thought he knew and…
After MY second watch it struck me even more potently : THE BEAUTY of this romantic tale and the way it was directed and acted.
The 'falling in love' with the 'same person' .. His SLOW and inevitabe falling in love with Gu-Neiran is SO CLEAR. It begins as a tiny ripple, of catching her eyes at his wedding, and then more and more ripples and waves after that .. harsh ones, gentle ones .. Nianzhi KNOWS her husband SO well .. Maid Chen KNOWS and is eaten up with jealousy .. Soon the other Maids know Even 5th Prince knows that the CP has feelz for her, and the whole story has to be seen with the 'Song Period' lens on - an era of Imperial China that had certain structures and codes.
LOL No .. he is not "playing stupid" .. he does not genuinely connect (maid) Gu-Neiran with the elegant (Lady) "Lu Guniya" .. how would it EVEN be possible for him the Crown Prince. NOT until Ep 53 do things begin to connect for him .. That leads to his CRUSHING depression and self hate and pain at how he had spoken to and treated her - each memory of his actions that HURT her are like floggings for him, lashes to his heart. And you will realize that even in the Special 12 eps he is almost swayed into thinking that it's NOT Lu Guniya (5th prince designs to confuse him) BUT says : it doesnt matter .. THIS WOMAN is the one he LOVES.
I don't know if you remember the scene (in the Special) where during his 'confused state about her being Lu Gunya' (thanks to 5th Prince) he holds up his translucent sleeve and covers her face trying to remember how she had looked that first time at the Yamen Guard Prison where she was veiled .. he tried to match the contours of her face and remember the curves of her body as he saw her at Teacher Lu Shiyu's home.
Scrolling to recall who all I chatted with ha ha

Luo Jin is a HOTTIE .. and in this when he turns on the charm you go weak knees
He sees his actions and takes the path that is his dao ,, he "doesn't regret nor apologise nor compensate" .. he 'endures' the consequences of his actions and owns them
