could someone tell me in which order the episodes were before they changed it ? i’m curious
The old order starts from Ranran quarrelling with the storyteller, Ep6-8, then at the point Zheng yi first visited Su Yishui as they tried to solve Ranran's health complications... while they sat and talked while Ranran was still unconscious, they flashed back to the past Ep 1-6
Quite a boring one this one. I till the end waited for the heroine to regain her memories and demeanor. Alas!…
For me I never expected the FL to get back her memories at all. In fact I was dismayed that the drama gave her back alot more memories than she got in the novel. I was perfectly fine with Ranran being herself. She is not Mu Qingge. She is a reincarnated version of her, but her life, her burdens, her goals, those were her own. She did not need to 'continue' her past life, and so there was no need to take on those memories.
However seeing how many viewers tend to keep asking 'when is she getting back her memories' I guess this is very important to many people somehow.
I don't often watch xianxia and I am glad that Ranran managed to still be herself and not just 'taken over' by some persona of her previous life. The new version of her deserves to live and be happy. Just as how Su Yishui intended her to be.
Finished the last ep at last. To be honest, if this drama was any longer I probably would have dropped it. After the first 4 eps I was like... hmmm do I go on? Then I finished another 2 the next weekend, and another 2 the next weekend. I think Ep7 and 8 were the best ones in this series. I didn't know what was going on for the first 4 eps of Light shop but by the end of the 4th ep serious reveals were finally shown.
So I don't know what I feel about Ep10. It all felt rather underwhelming. Except when the clear skies suddenly started hurling lightning bolts as Dong Jin finally made his love confession. Sorry but since I just finished watching Love of the Divine Tree with the xianxia lightning tribulation trials, I actually laughed a little at how dramatic this was. The Heavens care!! They will smite those who dare approach their favored ones! ( yes I say favored and I will explain at the end hahaha )
Ultimately this was a story about one man who never gave up trying to be with his high school crush and he managed to help his bestie as well. In doing so, he changed the lives of four people ( hopefully for the better ) What are the odds that one man will run into two 'witches' in his life? Lee Dongjin's statistics will surely have something to say about that heh
I am glad that Dong Jin was not a reckless fool in love, its not that he was a coward but he knows that him dying won't help Mijung at all, he will just become yet another statistic to weigh on her soul if she found out about it later on. He gave her enough time to process what he did to/'for' her, including the very eyebrow raising stalking of her daily life ( honestly 'watching over' / pining over was still quite creepy ), with his pal Joong Hyuk as his mouthpiece. He gave her enough time to process it all, and a choice to decide what to feel about him, instead of forcing his feelings on her and expect an instant grateful response just because he did such a crazy thing to risk his life just to dare to have feelings for her. However that being said, obviously its not that difficult to like Lee Dong jin. He is good looking, gentle, kind, intelligent. After knowing all these, will Mijung really condemn him to death by not reciprocating his feelings? But then again love cannot be forced, so I suppose destiny is also being nice to Dong jin. Afterall, they did have an 'unfinished fate' in High school that might have actually became something if only he confessed.
Speaking of which, if Dong jin had acted on his feelings back then and Mijung actually started dating him without him getting injured or dying, the rumors of her being a witch who harms other men might not have been able to take root. She would not have had to leave school, would have gone onto college and led a normal life? Even if she broke a few hearts along the way, people wouldn't have thought of her as a witch if she did have a man who survived being near her? Unless the new rumor will be her bf will curse all men who dare approach Mijung LOL
What felt very forced was the sudden love story of our second leads, who are both very lovely people and while I did hope they would find happiness, it happened way too fast and there was not enough time at all. It seemed like Eun sil barged her way into Jung hyuk's life and its some kind of love at first sight on his part? For her, she started off not liking him ( since she survived their initial close proximity encounters without a scratch ), until she found out that he was like Mijung? Why did she suddenly fall under his spell? Repeated exposure? Bleeding heart?
PS Who else felt that the stalker victim who woke up from her coma actually lied to make him feel better? Nobody can escape the charms of the witch after all lol
So why did I say Mijung and Joonghyuk at the favored ones of Heaven? hehe Think about it, while the rest of us go through life getting hurt in different kinds of failed relationships, when approached by the fickle, the 'false' ; who actually gets lightning to strike on demand on those deemed unworthy? ( lame laughter) Also if Mijung was actually willing to weaponize her 'talent', she can be such a effective assassin. Just approach her targets, make them swoon for her, leave them and they will die of 'natural' accidents lol But that will be another kind of drama HAHAHAH
My conclusion, I don't hate that I watched this drama, but I don't think I will dare to recommend to others lol
I am waiting anxiously for Ep10... I hope it will explain why Li Dongjin left without taking his phone with him... I wonder what is his frame of mind when he left his house? Did he think he was going to die? Was he tired of living? But he didn't confess to Minjung that night, so what was he planning?
Basically, Dong Jin is to Jung Hyeok what Eun Sil is to Mi Jeong. Maybe he's always suspected it and chose to…
The two people who had hearts big enough to look out for someone viewed as an outcast and be there for them, they deserve a happy ending! I am sad that the 'love arc' for the second leads happen so late... but what can I expect lol the ml and fl only 'met' properly in Ep8 HAHAHAH
Im one of those who thought this was honestly trash but twist makes it interesting again, i think the payoff is…
I randomly started watching without knowing what it was about except its by the same webtoon author of MOVING and Light Shop...
I found myself very puzzled why nothing much happens every week and the ml is a genius statistician trying to save the day of all things lol
The weirdest thing was instead of dropping it, I find myself coming back to this drama every weekend just to see what will happen next... I must be under its spell? hahahah
So the 2ML has the same curse the FL has, women die when they fall in love with him. If the FL and 2ML feel in…
i was hoping the fl's bestie and the ml's bestie can get together but I am surprised at the twist in ep9 That Dongjin was also trying to help his buddy too... even though it was only hinted in the earlier ep very briefly how people around him get hurt...thats why he isolated himself from everyone else...
If it works out, the two besties of the male and female 'witch' will be their loves and they can all go double dating together and be happy *PRAYS*
i keep coming back here once in a while. There's currently no ohter dramas that has took my attention away from…
I noticed this too! But if you notice lol later on even after SYS regained his memory, specifically i think he was recuperating after his er... big injury.... I think he also crossed his arms here and there lol
I love how the older SYS now embraced his inner younger self who likes to cross his arms and pout all he wants hahahahaha
Maybe it's a stylistic preference, but I find the wider shots allow for a more grounded/natural performance and…
wow I didn't notice that, will definitely take notice when I am there... I think I will need to install that client on my PC so i can see his tears in 4k lol
Yintao's zoom out style is so different from the ( sometimes stifling ) way some directors zoooooom into their actors faces until I feel like... uh... pls...too close... hahahahah
On Ep 20. Started off so well and I was loving it! But now I tire of the love triangle and how Su Yu just finds…
I feel you but I won't consider Su yu as a third party. He is just deluded in this triangle all on his own. He is so manipulative and annoying I hate how much extra screentime he got compared to the novel where he was just SYS's dying uncle in his mid 30s lol
For the main CP its always just been a double-headed arrow.
My question is, why this drama not shown on Netflix where it is popular in international audience?
This drama is on iqiyi's own global platforms and also licensed by Tencent's WeTV.
Some Cdramas are on Netflix because their China companies don't readily have their own global platforms to air the content on, so they will look for platforms to license them. If you noticed some other WeTV dramas usually will only appear on Netflix after the actual airing period so there will be less competition for viewers.
Perhaps if more of us request for it, Netflix will feel its worth licensing. Please send in your request here 😊 Thanks! https://help.netflix.com/en/titlerequest
