Finally, the plot moves on! I felt too much time was spent on the first engagement. I would like to see more time spent on CSS and LBY's story. At least now, we are heading in the right direction!
Avenue X is about the story telling. I'm surprised she gave it 1 gold mine. I agree with her view on ML. He could…
She likes dramas based on actors/actresses! Her favorite is Zheng Ye Cheng! I don't think ZLS is her favorite. What she needs to do is having an open mind: female empowerment now a days is not just about looks!
The biggest joke of the year.. she is a joker.. I stopped taking her seriously when she points outs all silly…
The script gave him so much screen time already compared the book. I think he will definitely get more screen time later on. That's when his acting skill will be tested.
Yes, Leo is a little bit stiff but I think for this role (again she doesn't read the book), he's good with ZLS…
I agree that his acting is stiff. The last scene in episode 20 clearly shows this ... ZLS is very natural. His is a little bit stiff. His hands holding her head ... the angle of his head as he looks down at her. It's a little nitpicking... but you can see the quality of acting: ZLS makes you feel like she's in the moment while Leo is acting out a scene ... But chemistry is not base on this ... it's based on his eyes looking at her. As I said, in later episodes, he will need to show more emotions towards her besides the current longing love looks.
One thing I noticed about this director is his use of repetition to emphasize the point: My favorite is the last scene of 19-20: LBY said, "Don't be afraid. I am here!" This is a repetition of what he said when he rescued her before. It just emphasizes his devotion to her and makes her feel secure. In the last scene: two actors are in a close-up shot ... Here you can see the difference between ZLS's acting and Leo's.
I literally just watched it. She is so biased so I didn't expect her to say anything nice about this one - she…
Totally agree with this ... she is biased. From her reviews, I can tell we have different perspectives and tastes so I don't watch her youtube anymore.
Yes, Leo is a little bit stiff but I think for this role (again she doesn't read the book), he's good with ZLS ... I have to admit that he is stiff in some parts. But not the romantic parts. I do think LBY has very gentle eyes when he looks at CSS. It's what I expect from reading the book. After they get engaged, his acting skill will be tested ... That's when we will see if he can deliver the goods.
oh, come on! This is the reason I don't watch her review anymore! 😜 She lost me as a watcher when she didn't understand the WRTW and made a video about it. She spends a long time talking about fan tricks in WRTW. Who cares about fan tricks when we watch Chinese dramas????
The next episodes will be more fun when she becomes engaged to LBY. It's a new plot line involving a new mentor…
Yes, they changed the script ... I will piece together the sequence of the trailers 19-24 when I have time ... I believe the script is trying to introduce all the palace characters here
The next episodes will be more fun when she becomes engaged to LBY. It's a new plot line involving a new mentor…
Yes, I believe the script changed ... It will be more interesting to watch. I do think this is a better way because it breaks up the monotony of showing the same thing (engagement period to LBY) many times.
