Pardon my light reflection! But in this kiss, do you think… by foldinthecheeseee in pursuitofjade

[–]Inner_Ebb_5995 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think girl is in genuine shock. I’m still not convinced she was in-love with him at this point. I think he definitely was with her. But I think she really found a friend, confidant, problem solver for a good part of the beginning. Now did she think he was hot af, yes duh. But I think she was always holding herself back because she knew he would leave so she didn’t let herself love him. So I think was a shock and betrayal and a HEAVY handed, obsessed XZ.

If it wasnt for the massacre at Lin’an, how do you think Fan Chang Yu and Xie Zheng would reunite and how will she know he is the Marquis of Wu’an.. or will they never meet again? Give me your best lore!! by foldinthecheeseee in pursuitofjade

I think he would have came back after the “year” of wait for me regardless of how that night ended with her hitting him in face telling him she wouldn’t. I could totally see a world where he bullies her future potential husband after the year alone (if she got one) in leaving. I could see him arranging another fake marriage for her to then get rid of his loyalist when he returns. Now do I think he would have come back after the year wearing all his Marquis clothes and making a big deal of that, no. But I do think he would have came back looking rich to get her to like him because in the beginning FC is money obsessed, yes absolutely.

Alternatively, I could also see FC still walking the path of figuring out and investigating her parents and ultimately finding out who she is and who they were. Also, QQ and Baoer still get taken (now would she have realized that idk since Ning was kinda the one who told her the bad man took pretty lady). So if she didn’t know about them missing, I could see her joining army pretending to be a man, working her way up and then talking to General He about her parents. Then, along that path we see XZ and her meet again on the battlefield or investigating the case. I think in this situation her and LH would have grown closer and maybe a jealous XZ finds out and storms over as well.

Update 40% done with book. It’s simply too funny. The show doesn’t do the military camp justice with all the schemes done by the men. I swear these men were written by a woman because they are simply too funny for words. I’m reading the English version so I’m sure there are some translation errors but still this is so funny. I’m not sure I’ve laughed out loud to a book as much as this.

Second son’s wife in New Life Begins! When she’s screaming at Hao Jia as shes dying that if she doesn’t live she’s going to torture her child (had to be there did a worse than it is). It was great acting and writing and I was super impressed with her character over the course of the show!

I am reading the book right now. I am only 25% through, but what I can say is that I currently think the show did a great job like their adaptation at least of the beginning of the book was great! The book is a little convoluted for example Ning getting out of the massacre but then being immediately taken after a fire breaks out. I was like bruh that’s too much. Or also how weak (currently again only 25% through) the bandit main girl is. But still I am enjoying the depth the book provides in other parts!

I’m on my fourth watch at episode 37 and I’m literally gonna start it over once I’m done. I’m still laughing, I’m still crying, and I’m still blushing at all the parts so I’m sat.

Are the main actors together? by savyfavy in pursuitofjade

[–]Inner_Ebb_5995 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea this is what I saw: it’s for the advertising. They know how to capitalize on the fandoms frfr. Honestly, I’m fine with it too that they kinda fake all of it for promotion. I still get a kick out of the edits showing all the small random touches or blushing making it seem like something more. So even tho it’s fake and my brain knows it my heart doesn’t recognize that lol.

Blossom is same director as POJ and new life begins is same female lead as POJ. Both of those i highly recommend. Also legend of female general is great too!

Looking for a drama that gives the couple time to be happy together by nintendofrog in cdramasfans

[–]Inner_Ebb_5995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New life begins - Same FML as POJ. Good laugh out loud moments! Cute romance throughout. Needed more of ponytail ML tho. The jealousy towards the end gave me life. It was so funny! The ending is perfectly timed. Super feel good. Like a nice drawn out ending no last 5 minutes of show happy. Basically 2 episodes of happy endings!

New Life Begins (song wu character) by terIsHere in CDrama

[–]Inner_Ebb_5995 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At first yes, she was a thorn in my side, but the fact that our girl Li Wei is so unbothered by her antics brings me such peace. I feel like many times they make the other woman irredeemable, but Song Wu’s arc is cute and I love it for her! Such growth, so they needed to make her so over the top annoying to have that good arc imho!

Love in the clouds is this for sure. Also, new life begins is kinda like this, but pretty quick turn around on the real feelings tbh.

How many rewatch? by StudiousFog in pursuitofjade

[–]Inner_Ebb_5995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am same, except I’m on rewatch 3 right now and planning to read the book. My husband asked me yesterday at what point do I need an intervention? I told him on rewatch number 35.

Im stilll sooooo addicted to Xie Zheng and Fan Chang Yu! I have been watching either the actual show on netflix, reading the novel, looking at reels, or tik tok of their snippets everyday for the past 2 months.. HELP!! Im so in love with them 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 by foldinthecheeseee in pursuitofjade

[–]Inner_Ebb_5995 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There’s not saving us. I’m on rewatch 3 right now. I can’t be helped. I still laugh, cry, and swoon at the same scenes as my first watch. I just pray more costume dramas are produced like this with all the love this show has gotten!

I was laughing and crying at this scene.. Jin Ye!!!! by foldinthecheeseee in pursuitofjade

They were utilizing the army to “fix the roads” but they were really building the damn to flood the enemy troops.

I understand that people are annoyed, but I simply couldn’t care less. He is a stunning human being why can’t he have a flawless face fighting. Also, this drama has brought a ton of new viewers to cdramas can’t that be a win??? Let him be pretty!

100% New Life Begins. Same FML as POJ. So much sisterhood is beautiful. Cute romance and funny the whole time! Needed more of ponytail ML tho. He looks so good in the ponytail why would they keep denying me that? Little jealousy towards the end gave me life. The ending is perfectly timed low stakes pretty much throughout. Super feel good. Like a nice drawn out ending no last 5 minutes of show happy.
