      I can't say it's great, but it's entertaining ... At least in my expectations. There are parts which I really just fast forward, but there are scenes that worth to be view. I'm just that patient ... Or my reason of watching certain dramas might be either rarely odd or just on impulse.
      Another reason that I didn't realize why I keep on watching, was because 'MengYao' was best friend with male lead. Subconsciously, I watched to find out if 'MengYao' will suddenly materialize and create mayhem.😄😄

    Still...Wang He Di with white hair looks good. First episode was ridiculous, but I found that I was enjoying the prettiness of it all. The funny thing was that I got a text from my daughter saying that she really appreciated how the story lines turned into a bit of a pro-feminist thing. Both male leads actually discuss love as supporting and helping rather than possessing and controlling. It all gets quite cute in spite of its many issues. That first fight with the lazy wire-work - actually I really enjoyed it, I thought it was fun to have immortals who can battle without twitching an eyelid, I watched it twice. Wouldn't want to see it showing up elsewhere, but fun was had. To be fair, I am using this as alternate viewing to Nirvana in Fire, which I hadn't seen (or co-viewing, if that is a thing...)

  • @amesakurako1
    @amesakurako1 3 года назад +6

    I finished Yu Long as each episode was 30min long so it was manageable. Tbh I finished it because of the side couple (can we talk about ep 34 because XQX's crying scene was amazing omg) and my obsession with the OST! I did actually quite like the main couple in the third life when she's a warrior, the story line made sense and it could have been it's own drama.
    The problem I had with the first and second lives is that I feel the male lead didn't struggle enough with his tribulations before giving up on the female lead. Someone told him he couldn't be with the female lead, and that was that. I couldn't feel any remorse, pain, longing or struggling. The way he just stood from afar watching her felt quite stalkerish lol. Also in the first life, at least in the game I'm told the female lead had a little bit of an inferiority complex as a maid, especially as her lady saved the male lead, but none of this came through. By the time we got to the fourth life, I was no longer invested in their characters and it didn't really matter to me if it was a good or bad ending, because the third life sufficiently explored this.
    I think the 'mannequin acting' is not all down to the cast - Wang Hedi for example was quite decent in Rationale Life. His action scenes in Ever Night 2 were also pretty good. He's a new actor so there are definitely areas he will improve with time and experience. I think the scriptwriters and directors have responsibility as well. You need a good team to produce a good show. I heard there are some scenes where the directors communicated they'd like to complete them in one take, as doing another take will take ages to set up again, so this is probably a huge factor (good directors will reshoot scenes 10s of times to get it right). Also actual chemistry off set with the actors is important. Has anyone watched the 1hr livestream with Pan Meiye and Deng Wei? Their chemistry was so much better that of Dylan/Bambi imo

      They kind of present the immortals/fairies/ demons as not having complex emotions. Just eat, sleep, and do their jobs.

    Has it got flaws? Absolutely. One of it's major flaws is the pacing is slow in the middle episodes.
    But overall, I really enjoyed it and it was nowhere near as bad as I was led to believe. Yes there are some logic flaws, but honestly, you can find logic flaws in pretty much every show so these don't annoy me as much.
    Wang Hedi's performance, while not as strong as LBFAD, is not bad at all. The 2nd couple also had a very interesting story.

    Oh no Avenue x, I was really looking forward to this because I like the actress and they made the thumbnails for each episode so prettty. 🤣
    I feel bad for her now, perhaps her next drama will be much better script. 😔

    I actually get SO much out of your 'rant' videos. Not only does it save me valuable time in watching really crappy dramas, but I appreciate your critiques are thorough, which is great for this foreigner to have a better understand of why these are so lame to begin with. Since I discovered your channel, I listen to any of the critiques you may have on the dramas I am gonna watch. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

    I had most of the same complaints you had and for lack of what to watch i also watched the first 4 and I was like NO! This is not it. The fights were just ridiculous, the maid seemed not to be aware at times she was a maid like she chooses when to be a maid, oh the guy who commanded the (elf bird)second lead to be his slave a 100 years; his acting was a little painful to watch. Also the story seemed to be too fast paced. It was just too much

    I think I died laughing because this is my exact experience watching 4 episodes of this drama. Well I can't actually read the chinese characters on the carriage but everything else in this rant is a thought that crossed my mind.

    Yes we deserve to have Tom Hiddleston appear out of nowhere whenever we sigh wistfully wishing to meet him
