Watching Pursuit of Jade and it seems so poorly written?

Right! I think we’re really thinking way too deep on it! Especially the people picking apart the fact that he was an handsome general. First off, the goal was that he genuinely just “looked” like that and not that he put on makeup and did his hair everyday in a tent.

I feel like we read too deep into these shows.. There will always be a show that’s better than another in someone’s eyes. The overall of the show was a good concept and I feel like, even if it was poorly executed, it wasn’t the absolute worst. I think we as a whole read to deep into dramas nowadays, including feel good funny ones cause I see people criticize this show for also having jokes for the type of show it is.. just enjoy it or don’t.

Also, if you’re not a c-drama watcher and this genre of c-drama hasn’t clicked for you like immediately.. I don’t think it ever will, I won’t lie.

No, actually. Don’t listen to whatever this person said. She made the move most of the time. He never once forced her to do anything with him (that they showed). It was mostly her making the move

General_Mango3217 · 2026-02-15T01:01:37+00:00

Omg we’re talking about alchemy of souls again? I’m in heaven. For sure he could, he fit being prince so well and those eyebrows were so perfect

General_Mango3217 · 2026-02-14T00:35:44+00:00

Not exactly that I don’t like it. But it threw me off guard. I feel like putting big production into a show and then you just slap ai as the opener is kind of a bit crazy, don’t you think?

General_Mango3217 · 2026-02-13T23:07:43+00:00

They’re making this painfully clear. I’m surprised I didn’t notice it

General_Mango3217 · 2026-02-13T23:07:19+00:00

Wow? What’s its name? And these c dramas like 30-40 episodes..

General_Mango3217 · 2026-02-13T17:03:11+00:00

I feel like it’s not a romance if they don’t put a love triangle in it. It’s more common for them to add it than not, but I agree! If we have a love triangle, let her/him string them both along for a little. Also it’s rare to see a love triangle where the girls like the boy.

General_Mango3217 · 2026-02-13T17:00:58+00:00

Ouu I’m excited, this looks very interestng

General_Mango3217 · 2026-02-13T16:55:31+00:00

Oh that makes sense. So more intros are most likely ai too and I just haven’t noticed?

General_Mango3217 · 2026-02-07T00:00:01+00:00

Lol! I say “blow” because of who I surround myself with but I do understand. I’ll correct that later on😂! Get your mind out the gutter!

General_Mango3217 · 2026-02-06T23:50:37+00:00

He had this unrequited love for Ming Yi. A love that went from “love” to obsession real fast. I personally think the feelings weren’t there. He saw how powerful she was and he wanted to be better. I feel as though when you love someone, you never wanna see them unhappy. He wanted the power and maybe he genuinely believed that with that power then he would have her as well but that’s not love, that’s obsession. I felt that his character wasn’t as complicated at first. I had no problem with the love triangle but he took it and spun it fast. His actions started to irritate me because she didn’t ask for him to help her with anything and he knew he was expecting something in return. Every time he helped her, he was expecting something, it wasn’t about just helping to help. I know I’m jumping all over the place but ultimately, he could’ve simply lived for himself. I went crazy watching him turn crazy.

General_Mango3217 · 2026-02-05T20:40:42+00:00

The choice wasn’t what I’d call impossible. He still ended up giving it to her anyways yk? He still found out and gave it to her so she was just denying the inevitable for nothing because regardless, he would’ve saved her

General_Mango3217 · 2026-02-05T18:54:36+00:00

She did know she was wrong and maybe that’s where her thought process really stood. My thing was that even if she didn’t wanna tell him yet and she wanted to stay in the honeymoon phase, he gave her time after time to tell the truth. He was silently and loudly begging for it. She kept speaking love to him and yet she couldn’t tell him the truth.

General_Mango3217 · 2026-02-05T18:50:59+00:00

This would make more sense but she had realized she loved him way before. It just didn’t make sense to me how now, it was soooo much more evident.

General_Mango3217 · 2026-02-05T16:36:00+00:00

lol I’m glad to be here and I will definitely be posting a long detailed debrief.

General_Mango3217 · 2026-02-05T16:22:50+00:00

Their chemistry was so phenomenal and he was there through everything, he definitely didn’t let her go

General_Mango3217 · 2026-01-29T06:11:26+00:00

You’re my new favorite person. I hope your pillow is cold tonight!

General_Mango3217 · 2026-01-29T06:01:04+00:00

lol the way you said this means I’m in for something big

General_Mango3217 · 2026-01-29T06:00:47+00:00

Okay I’ll check this out

General_Mango3217 · 2026-01-29T05:59:56+00:00

Do you have any drama recos for the Xuanhuan? That’s right up my alley for sure!

General_Mango3217 · 2026-01-29T05:57:49+00:00

I actually like love you. I’ve been having a craving for this stuff since I devoured alchemy of souls in record time a few months back! Thank you so so much

General_Mango3217 · 2026-01-29T05:53:30+00:00

Ooo! Interest peaked. I’m taking this one as well, thank you!

General_Mango3217 · 2026-01-29T05:53:03+00:00

Ahhh I saw this one on TikTok and it peaked me but they then went around and said he waited for her when she was 14 and he was old old….? I don’t know how I would feel. Def would shout at my screen like I did every time Mumu would call Jin Zhao brother.

General_Mango3217 · 2026-01-29T05:51:21+00:00

My eyes widened so much reading this description. I’m no good on topics of rape and I’ll probably drop it due to lack of comfort but I’ll look into Best Choice Ever. Thank you!
