NOT A WASTE OF TIME

I INITIALLY DONT WANT TO WATCH THIS DRAMA!!!

First, I am not really a fan of historical/costume dramas, be it k/j/cdrama. Specially cdramas because it's TOO LONG. Imagine watching a 50ep drama vs 16ep drama. I can watch 3dramas with that already.
Second, I'm still hung up with GOGO SQUID. I don't want to betray my TongYan/HanShangyan cp. I can't imagine them with other actors.

ALAS, quarantine x boredom hits hard and I need a drama to watch. It has been one of the recommendations. At first I wanted to watch the start middle and end part to see if it's really that good. But as I was watching the first eps I got really hooked. Why????
1. It's too humorous. There's so many funny parts. Slapsticks sometimes irk me but in this drama I really enjoyed it.
2. The acting! My YangZi, as one of my fave, of course nails the acting part. It's my first time to watch DengLun tho I remember him in Skate Into Love, he's so skinny there. But I also give him a big thumbs up. All in all 10/10 for acting
3. The story. Well obvs that a lot of the plot is recycled. I still remember the part where DengLun stab himself. Kinda reminds me of Naruto(because he said he'll bear all of the grievances of the past) lmao

I put 7 on the rewatch value cause of its length. I just can't imagine myself finishing it without skipping an episode but I DID?. I thought that it was a 65ep so when watching ep63 I was like, why does it looks like its ending now.
I'm so proud of myself tho for finishing it.

Totally Unreaaaal

Ok to start with my review I just want to say that I didn't plan to watch this one at first. Because I actually started to watch Stand by Me and I just want to say it didn't impress me(yet- currently at ep3). I didn't really get the vibe of noble/monarch of ChengYi in SbM so I paused that and check this one out. And huraaaaah

Rewatch value @8:
Because its too long for me to watch the whole series but if just snippets I'm in

Favorite parts:
1. The early parts: SiFeng's reaction towards contact with XuanJi (he's so hot and bothered haha)
2. When they had a misunderstanding abt XuanJi liking her senior and they cleared it up. His face when he learned the truth?
3. SiFeng teaching XuanJi how to chase away guys who hits on her (I remember the cute video of a korean kid and her mom teaching her)
4. I also like that they only play snippets of the 9 lives they shared together and not a full blown several eps. He's so pitiful and so inlove with her
5. The Jade Emperor just chillin' and asking questions like its no big deal haha

Whuut moments:
•Ok so I was at the ep30 when I saw a clip(wc is around the end part) where Rahu Ketu became XuanJi. I was like whuuuuuut, all this time SiFeng likes a man, so is this kinda like a bl at the start hehe. So after patiently watching the rest of eps to get the explanation I still can't with the shock I received from that clip haha
•LingLong and WuTong tho, man I'm always tense when they show the both of them. I hate rape scenes so I'm always at the edge 'cause he's like full-on "I wanna eat you" kinda face. Is he gonna do it? Naw, probably gonna do it now. Hoping he's not gonna do it. Maybe it was chopped while on the run. Meh

?‍?‍??‍?Best Family drama

I don't know where to start on the things I like about this drama?

First, the cast is too good. Srly everyone nails there part I don't remember any awkward acting.

Second, the plot has a lot of twists. And alot of the problems they faced are also relatable which a lot of broken families faces. I thought that with the title "Go ahead" someone will die and they'll need to face the acceptance of reality phase but its not lmao. I keep on thinking while watching the drama that father Li might die *my hearteu* but fortunately didn't, he is the best character in the whole drama

Third, the child actor for Ziqui is so cuuute? I just can't with his backstory especially when he was always helping father Li and when he called him dad. He needs to mature early because of circumstances which is so sad.

Before this I think I'm not much into family dramas because its too long, too dramatic and too draggy. But this one thooooo

The romance part I'm not sure how to feel. Tho it's good but honestly not that necessary for this to be a good drama. So, I liked it very much that it's not just the focus of the whole drama. They did good with the characters development. Even though I think that father Ling until the end didn't do much for his son(but I still think his character was really written that way, someone who doesn't like confrontations/mediation lol).

The only part where I did not like is the mother Chenting. I think they still need more to that story of redemption lmao. Just think about it Ling Xiao has "trauma" abt his mom, I don't think its that easy to remove trauma yk. You can't just say sorry and everything's ok.

Silent Separation?

This is one of the books of teacher Gu. I didn't know that there was a drama. Tho I really like the novel I can't say that I like it irl too.

So many misunderstandings where they can just sit down and talk about it. Like seriously I want to lock them up so that they just let all the grievances they have with each other.

Kinda draggy and the second leads were so annoying. Not like in the Novel at all. Well some may say that just don't compare them but honestly there's an advantage too when u both read and watch it. Because sometimes the things you want to happen may not happen on the novel but happens on the drama. I just hope that some screenwriters also look into the reviews of netizens they might make the drama more interesting. ??

Wan Peng's very cute

After years of watching dramas I decided to make an acct here to track my favorites.

First of all the actors/actresses are really good. Yk the cringeyness when you watch someone act blind but obviously not, kudos to Evan tho, I think he did fine in that department. As usual Wan Peng's acting is on point.

Second, I think the story plot is very common and you can easily predict the outcome. But I thank the script writer that they did not make it draggy. Not all dramas need to be long just to be good. Like when he did the surgery usually they make more eps where the ml does not recognize the fl or someone will pretend to be the fl. But Evan straight up "i recognize u". Saw this on yt shorts that's why I watch it?

Third, the kisses?. I really want the whole c/kdrama scene to step up with the kissing scenes haha. I like the sofa kiss here especially when he said "I'll not miss out on the chance two times a row". So cute ?
