ahh that makes sense! but i was talking more the actual plot and storytelling is much more cdrama than kdrama. not in idea or outline but in style and execution

stupid peacock princess

I feel the romance shoudve been between yi chen and zhu yan, they have more chemistry

i know, but there have been cdrama remakes before and none of them felt quite as cdrama as this one. anyway this one is iconic to me, remake or no

i think its clearly overrated. its not so beloved because its THAT good its because its broadly appealing, easy and comforting. its mass appeal is super strong.

i personally was finding it tedious after the halfway point, the gimmick wasn’t enough for a binge. i think those who watched week by week didnt notice the same things.

im definitely watching this but OH NO i hate love triangles, hope its not done in a bad way

ill pace myself

i feel i fucked up by not following this week to week. binging this isn’t ideal. im at ep 6 and its shtick is getting a bit old for me.

oh perhaps i got the impression you minded this more than you did though

i agree entirely, im glad you see it that way. some of my favorite things are flawed. it depends too much on the nature and amount of flaws.

i agree also that that would have been the correct thing to do for fan yue.

i dont think we disagree, if we do i dont see where.

also it fine if thats a standard you have and it didnt meet it. maybe its not your thing

thats exactly right, fan yue was at the end of his power and it was IMPORTANT to his character what choice he made then. it wasnt a perfect decision because perfect decisions arent made in the heat of the moment when you are on the brink of exhaustion of power, body and mind.

the most xianxia kdrama of all time

the most cdrama kdrama ever to be made

well i like this pair and will watch their other collabs and will be very happy to see peach’s actor at his 100%

Ok so sorry but the child of the architect you think ruined your lives was a very young child then. He didnt know he was dating someone whos family was involved and only went under a different name for very good very reasonable reasons. He is not his father. He loves your daughter and its mutual. How dare you be so horrid as to be berating your daughter and guilt tripping her into breaking up with him? How immature, how shortsighted, how self serving, how disgustingly entitled, how controlling and ultimately cruel.

and these are the “good” parents.

Asian parenting in dramas SUCKS:

all scenes in which he is supposed to be moved to tears or crying.

if thats true tho, they should have scheduled that scene to be shot after we healed. in movies and tv scenes dont need to be and often arent shot in the order they happen in the story. so they shouldve been smart about it given his condition.

for clarity, i must add that other than that he does a good job 👏🏻
this is the most adorable mafia romance ever

i love it truly but you all have to admit that peach’s actor’s inability to deliver on emotional scenes is a huge weakness. thankfully this isnt an intense and emotional show so this comes up rarely.
the actor cant muster up anything remotely similar to genuine crying.
