omg whats wrong with the rating?? this drama deserve higher rating. i am in ep 36, and everything in this drama…
After slapping my own face (because I was also disappointed with the rating), I'd have to say again I don't care about the rating; it's how much pleasure I've derived from this drama which counts more :)
I’m only on ep 12 but can you guys spoil it for me? Why did she agree to marry Ji Chong and how did she die?…
Only Ji Chong can give her the power to fight against Bo Wang as she wants to take her revenge. She dies trying to help Bo Wang complete his mission. (Bet you're confused like crazy by my answers XD. Press on watching!)
I finished 'Hikaru no Go' yesterday, or should I say, this early morning 4am. When I woke up, I immediatly had…
Yes, that's exactly how I have felt about what Shi Guang is going through. Worst still, he can't talk about it. Countless times his friends ask him, "What's wrong?" and he can't answer them, though he has wanted to. Imagine the pain inside him and he can't share with anyone around him. No one would understand. Those he does talk to say he has a very rich imagination. Showing us the period he's suffering, for me, it's really heart wrenching and I cried with him. Never a moment I felt it was too long. The length is so appropriate to develop the cathartic moment for Shi Guang later. This is so well done.
After watching epi 32 ,I did a little bit Google and found out that in 2005 ,there was a mysterious supernova…
Some amazing research you did there. So it's pretty safe to assume it's possible that Chu Ying comes into our world 1,500 years later :) Smart move by the writer. Bravo!
I'm curious about "the ending falls flat" because I heard it several times. Why do you think so? (personally,…
I actually love Shi Guang's break down period. It's also a period of discovery and realization for him. I feel many people miss that element here, thinking the director has spent too much time on this aspect. I just wish they've delved further into Shi Guang's relationship with Yu Liang after Chu Ying, how the duo have communicated with each other silently, especially during their double competitions. Their body language part is too short without the depth like how it's been done for others.
It's kind of annoying that people are so insistent on assigning reasons why this drama is not rated higher. This…
What you say here is so true. There's a drama, Hikaru no GO, which is rated very low here on MDL, probably because not many people appreciate weiqi, but very high on douban. I love that drama and give it a 10/10 because of the story and the acting, and no big names. So all these ratings also depend on what type of viewers one drama attracts. Idols tend to attract younger viewers and many have high ratings though the show itself is merely so-so :)
The genre isn't the problem here. It's other things but I guess for every person they would be different. For…
Contrary to you, the romance is precisely what I love about this drama :) What a world of difference between the two of us. Put these differences to all the viewers, this is precisely what we get here: some love it to bits and some abhor it, just how we look at the world, nothing wrong with anyone :)
Ending: You sure you wanna read this?....She dies. He takes her body away (assumingly to their wolf mountain)…
I would love to think he takes her back to his cave on the Wolf Mountains, lying next to her and holding her and they leave together to a better world.
But stop! Here's another alternative ending: In the original story, we know that he has magical supernatural power - he can heal by himself very quickly in most of the episodes. Since no one has seen them after the last scene, we can speculate that he takes her back to his cave on the wolf mountains, heal her and heal himself, and they live happily ever after.
So it's up to viewers to want to accept whichever ending that makes viewers happy and feel better. For me personally, I love that they die together in their cave - so sad, so romantic, and yet so relieving.
Watched till episode 32... Bao Naaa, you LEGEND!!!! You're my new favourite character, you and Ji Chong!
She'll get even more adorable in later episodes! She's one of my most favorite characters here despite her initially off-putting spoiled brat behavior :D
No, not really. I like this one better because they're together.
The romance here is SOOOOOO GOOOOOD XD (if you think toxic romance is good like I do, XD XD XD. After all I'm a masochist - young viewers don't follow suit, bad for you XD).
