Regarding episode 13, I didn't understand why Han yasi was looking for ziyi's permission to kill GZY. This makes…
She's higher up. She didn't confirm that she's a Wang, so this mean she's a Liang, which is the highest of the 4 levels. Another member here also agreed she's a Liang when ZiYi said her tea has cooled. The word cool is liang in Mandarin which also sounds like Liang.
Who is the pov and who is the focus if u don't mind me asking both for Gatsby because I didn't read it but know…
In The Great Gatsby, the story is narrated from Nick's point of view. Everything the readers know about is told to us by him, based on what he saw or heard. In his story, the main focus/character is Jay Gatsby.
In MJTY, there isn't a Nick per-se, but we do get a similar feel using several POV's so we can piece the story together. I feel the focus is more on GSJ than GZY. If there's no summary nor cast list provided for MJTY, and the viewers watching it blind would have a different opinion on GSJ and GZY.
Have you ever read a book or watched a movie from someone's POV or narration, but the main character or focus is actually someone else...like in The Great Gatsby? My Journey to You is almost like that. Is this intentional by Guo Jing Ming? Or...is it as he directs and edits the drama, he discovers he likes certain aspects more and delete sources from initially intended materials?
What do 'Chi', 'Mei', 'Wang' and 'Liang' mean in Chinese? Google says 'life force', 'Beauty', 'King' and 'two'.…
A member in here mentioned the chinese characters used for chi, mei, wang, liang are all written with a "ghost" character. I interpret "ghost" as alluding to darkness, hidden, evil, bad-force, spy. In Cantonese, there's a slang term for spy/undercover person as "internal ghost." I only know Chi and Mei stand for Beauty which makes sense in referencing the 2 FL's, but also that beautiful women are sometimes cunning and evil. The writer is really creative in picking these words.
Am I the only one not really rooting for a couple? I'm more interested in the whodunit and why. If I had to pick,…
I'm also not particularly rooting for any couples. As a matter of fact, who did it and why are also not that important to me for this drama. Strangely, I'm here only for the creativity, visual aesthetics, cinematography, sound effects, and storytelling execution. Only one other Cdrama had I enjoyed it this way.
Yes she is a Liang. She said so when she said the tea has cooled. The word is a homonym for Liang.
Good to know! A lot of word play a la homonym in this drama. It's rather fitting given the spy theme drama. I really like Mr. Guo's creativity and thoughtfulness in his work. I hope he's providing great explanations in the end instead of having questions unanswered and gaping holes unpatched.
I wasn't a fan of Gong Yuan Zhi, but after finishing ep 13, I don't really dislike him that much. More like an annoyance, but he's not so bad. He does care a lot for GSJ.
In MJTY, there isn't a Nick per-se, but we do get a similar feel using several POV's so we can piece the story together. I feel the focus is more on GSJ than GZY. If there's no summary nor cast list provided for MJTY, and the viewers watching it blind would have a different opinion on GSJ and GZY.
