i watched a reel someone covering the Zhu Yu ost Among Thousands, I Seek Him and it actually a 1000 years ago written by a general and poem called Green jade cup - at the eve of lantern festival. always whenever i read and listen the osts of poj, i cries bcuz of the meaning behind those and how i much miss my drama.
I followed the hype and i am sad to say it did dissapoint. I cannot see in this Drama what so many of you see…
honestly. And I think people need to understand one important thing — Pursuit of Jade is an idol drama. Comparing it directly to heavy political dramas like Joy of Life or Nirvana in Fire as if they’re supposed to deliver the exact same style, pacing, and storytelling is missing the point a bit.
This drama was never trying to be a hyper-political strategy masterpiece. Its strength is in the emotional depth, the relationships, the character arcs, and how attached viewers became to the characters and their journey. That emotional connection is exactly why so many people loved it and why the response was so huge.
And honestly, if the drama was truly as disappointing as people claim, it wouldn’t still be pulling this much engagement, discussion, trending scenes, and emotional reactions long after it ended. 🙂
Well what can i even say, i knew this. The best of best deserved. I wanted to see Zhang linghe on best actor but where is this. But not complaining since the drama itself made here.
It still get me how insane this drama. The first ever cdrama i ever seen being such a preblock buster. Honestly it even more special sibce this is my fav drama of all time and with my fav couple all time. 😚☺️

hey, “Overrated” usually just means you stopped at the intro. You expected magic, saw fundamentals, and tapped out. It’s fine if you didn’t enjoy it, but calling it “dog shit” is just a lazy take.
