I've seen a lot of cdrama chess/go games over the years. I really have to give creative credit to how it's done in ep 2. Large chess pieces on a flattened boulder surface isn't new, but using a wood peel to lay the chess pieces down is rather interesting.
It's really good!! I just finished ep 2. It has all the old fashion wuxia elements. I'm really enjoying it and laughing a lot (not because it's a comedy) because it brings back great memories of Jin Yong's works.
Wow..just finished ep 1, and I'm loving it!!! It has the classical wuxia elements and feel to it such as trap formation and multiple sects. Nice sword fights and choreography. I like that FL uses flying needles as her weapon of choice just like Xiao Long Nu. Joseph looks AWESOME in here! He's perfect for the role. His eyes are so expressive especially when he's conflicted or in a sad and sorrowful state.
I really don't understand the age gap [real life] tag at all...aren't these tags supposed to help you get a gist…
I totally agree with you. It's sad and borderline pathetic how MDL has become catering to silly tag such as "real life age gap." Some admins have too much time on their hands and went overboard with their little user-admin rights. I had to roll my eyes when I came across this tag once for a drama when the age difference was 4 years, regardless whether if was FL>ML, or vice vice versa. Next thing you know, there'll be tags for "gray hair", "white hair", "midget", "monolid." Ranting done.
Since Joseph's role in Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre, I've been tracking his works. I hope Snowy Night will be an awesome watch. Bring it on!!!
Just finished episode 1 and I must say I'm LOVING IT! The format is back to how I prefer it from the past 5 seasons. I'm also happy to see majority of the dancers/contestants are new this season. Excited for the remaining episodes!
This drama is like one big interactive game played by all characters. Knights, rooks, bishops, even pawns, from each side all have their own respective roles and purposes. It's such an awesome watch. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the once in a while propagandas embracing communist idealism.
Big kudos to FeiHang being such a credible young performer. She has a bright future ahead of her as an actress!
Today's episode was so satisfying. I loved the scene where LZY was teaching SB how to track people so coolhttps://x.com/chenzheyuanzi/status/1841476125123551671
So laughed so much every time SB got caught by LZY. LZY looked good in agent wardrobe. =)
I'm watching 7 airing dramas at the moment, but find myself most interested in DNAD. Everyday with new episodes to watch, but always coming straight to DNAD first.
I have to say that translating Bullou into “Shrike” that looks like Shrek is just dumb. Why not translate…
I actually prefer Bo Lao translated as Shrike which is a type of vicious bird. I'm not sure if you noticed, but all the agents on the KMT side were assigned a "bird" name, like Falcon. When Shrike ordered his guy to "wake" up the sleeper agents, their bird-code names were listed. It gives more meaning this way than a sound translation.
Amazing sword skills? Yes!
Competent FL? Yes!
Nice ML? Yes!
Joseph? Yes!
5 Yes'es make a win! =)))
