I am soooo ready for a smackdown! 2 hours is toooo long
I don't think it's happening in 2 hours. The countdown was wrong yesterday, so I believe it's more like 9hours instead of 2. Of course, I'm praying for 2.
This was recommended to me to fill the void How Dare You left and after binging the first 9 episodes, I am in.…
She was good in Youthful Glory, but she's best in here. I had to drop Whispers of Fate. I've watched Zhou Yi Ran in both main and support roles, but he truly shines in here. They are both at the top of their games in this one.
I know people dislike why so many characters are being introduced yet they seemingly play only a small part in the story.
This is actually a defining hallmark for wuxia genre storytelling, especially those crafted by the legendary Jin Yong and Gu Long. It's extremely common to introduce a massive, sprawling cast of characters, many of which whom play only minor roles. Its purpose is to create a rich, immersive world of the "jianghu" world-building. If you have watched/read enough wuxia, you know there are always jianghu, multiple sects, alliances, demonic sect, wulin conference, martial arts. The protagonists would journey through the story, delving into the sects, their past secrets, forbidden love stories between the righteous sects vs the demonic sect, etc.
Generation to Generation, so far, as I see it, follows these classic elements of wuxia genre. It even includes pressure point technique to freeze a person. I was so happy to see this because a classic wuxia story would have it.
I'm really enjoying the drama. It's truly is a genre that you either get it or you don't. And if you get it, then you'll love the creativity of the whole jianghu wuxia thing. Just like how JRR Tolkien world-built The Lord of the Rings, it is that amazing.
Just finished ep 8, it's getting INTERESTING!!! Last few minutes showcasing ML embracing his role as the young demon lord is thrilling. So glad Zhou Yi Ran is cast for the role. His minute facial expression is perfect, making his character(s) hard to read. But, we do see his features softened when he asked FL if she would give up everything to be with the person she loves.
I CAN"T WAIT FOR THESE TWO TO GET TOGETHER!! I SIMPLY CAN"T WAIT FOR THE DAY WHEN HER ANSWER IS "YES, I"LL GIVE UP EVERYTHING." 🥰
FL's matter-of-fact attitude in handling ML really makes their relationship interesting like how she stated about repaying him for saving her life by spending a passionate night with him would be short-lived. It didn't stop him from getting ideas in his head. 🥰
FL is truly intelligent and quick-witted in solving problem. We can see this in how she dealt with Uncle Zhou, Elder and his "niece" in ep 7. Love this character! 🥰
Finally got time to watch ep 7. The jealousy on ML's face every times FL asked about Qian Xue Shen's whereabout and wellbeing. You can tell ML just can't stand it. He's probably seething internally .😁
Zhou Yi Ran can pull it off pretty well as a demon lord. Those kolhed-lined eyes made him look so good. But I have to say, nobody beats Cheng Yi as the demon lord. ..to me .🥰
I doubt it. That would be incest. FL called her aunt "GU GU" which means FL's father is her aunt's older brother. In ancient Chinese culture, first cousins marriages are taboo. However, children from two sisters getting married were allowed.
I like the leads. There is nothing annoying about them. Both are so intelligent. I like how they back each other up. You can tell they see the good sides and nice intentions of each other.
How do I know? HK/Cdramas experienced-watcher . 😁
