About the song in Episode 7--did the ML actually sing it?
He did actually sing the song https://weibo.com/7466327746/K2vDI5ydi (the original version called 但愿人长久). But the main OST 水调歌头 (a cover) is placed over it, which is not sang by him obviously.
The performance at the event in ep7 was so pretty, even I clapped.. okay not really, but still. Anyways liking it so far, but I hope to see more future mind things implemented like inventions, since it's pretty subtle so far in that time travel aspect.
The title and synopsis makes it seem like the story revolves around the 'house helper' or that he impacts the FL's lifes. But it's more about the lifes of the 3 female leads and he's just kinda there, also the 2nd couple is more funny and interesting, even Miss An is more interesting. Overall it's pretty bland so far in comparison to "The Nanny Man", the chinese original story.
Michelle Chen as Xiao Longnu isn't really bothersome after some eps. Though should've casted like (Sarah) Zhao Yingzi or like literally anybody else on the cast list. Still don't like this Yang Guo story compared to Guo Jing & Zhang Wuji, since this is just a bunch of random love stories. There's not much jianghu things going on, or at least less than what you'd expect. Props to Mao Xiaotong tho, for making Guo Fu such a hateful spoiled brat >:(
Believe this is a shelved project. This didn't get the required investment back then and no news on this after that. On top of that the Yang Xuwen scandal in 2017, which he just recovered from.
It was pretty funny at the beginning with CZY not knowing anything, but the rest is pretty boring honestly, even the historical flashbacks were more interesting.
Why does it feel like this movie is shot in permanent 1.25x speed, the pace is pretty offputting. Overall, I'd say it's pretty decent, standard but catchy plot, it's pretty cheesy though. And some nice effects, especially the good old use of explosives or not depends on taste. The sets and surroundings used are pretty. Makes me still have some hope in domestic webmovies.
