BE is too broad. There are sad endings, bad endings, and bittersweet endings
The labels for endings only focus on the main leads; yet even when it's a HE, it still carries sadness and tragedy. For example, his only surviving relatives died, his father died suddenly—shockingly and tragically—just as they’re about to reunite after a long estrangement, or all his buddies, including his best friend, fall in an epic, savage battle. How about the HE when everyone dies except the main couple.
this I think is his first xianxia role and he did really well, same with the other Yu Zheng supporting actors, also their first, since it's Yu Zheng first, oh and Joseph Zeng's first xianxia too
Early on, people on Douban gave Feud mostly 1-star ratings (5 point scale). But in at least the last five days,…
I think the reason Douban still has not released its score is that for over week now, it's been flooded with 5-stars that the comments read like AI generated. These comments supposedly translated too would get A+ in writing. I wonder how they determine what is real and what is fake.
Gosh, Douban has released the score 6.1 and from looks of it they removed most of the 1 stars and 5 stars, but even after score has been released now, whoever is doing it, still flooding it with 5 stars one after another (80% of the comments are all 5 stars with perfect AI written comments. Don't they know Douban is moderating it and will remove them.
Early on, people on Douban gave Feud mostly 1-star ratings (5 point scale). But in at least the last five days, 4- and 5-star reviews have taken over, and those low ratings have mostly disappeared. Looking at the most recent 100 rated comments, the average score now sits above 6 on a ten-point scale. That’s a small sample, but it shows a shift in sentiment. It’s hard to say how much these recent rated comments affect the total score. But based on Bai Lu’s last two xianxia dramas, which scored around 5.6 and 5.8, Feud probably won’t be worse than that. TTEOTM was super popular, and MM did well too—MM which aired early January, even hit #5 last week! Since Feud is Yu Zheng’s first try at xianxia, it’s likely he jumped in partly to ride Bai Lu’s wave of popularity in the genre. Makes sense from a producer’s point of view.
Here is an explanation of the ending. https://mydramalist.com/762931-heng-men-you-hu#comment-22391352 So apparently…
OK so I missed that nuance. You're saying that the way she confronted him that he was not testing them but testing himself trying to prove himself wrong, that reality struck a chord contained meaning that he decided to give her the time device knowing that it will help everyone. So, in the end, he was not a complete villain.
I really love this drama, though I can understand why some people might not. For me, I’ve been searching for…
The reason it doesn’t fade into the background after a few episodes is that the centuries-long feud is the spine of the drama. This story doesn’t drop it; it builds on it, through multiple cycles of marriage and separation.
Why did Xiao Jing Shan leave her time travel device? He said, "final step require the creator to sacrifice his life" so he must have killed himself as he vanished, so the time reversal dial could be "forged" and when he vanished, then it appeared to her, and "I'm giving it to you. Don't let me down." Was it redemption or final manipulation?
That Ave***** woman is the most ridiculous one. She's a self proclaimed "critic" 🤡 even though she doesn't…
AvenueX likes Liu Yuning a lot. She has a disdain for certain actors though. She went two millimeters into Bai Lu’s scalp, and that’s exactly how shallow she is. She tries to act like she's such an expert pointing out smallest details. She thinks something only has value if it’s formally recognized. If she likes an actor, she won't say anything bad and even defends them.
I saw a YT video discussing Moonlit Reunion and it says it's coming in mid-July to compete with Flourished Peony…
Feud has ended June 21 The Princess's Gambit has premiered June 25 A Dream within A Dream has premiered June 26 Flourished Peony Season 2 has announced premier date June 30 Legend of the Female General rumored for August 4 or 5. So mid-July should be a good month to release Moonlit Reunion, right?
