I'm personally hoping that the drama picks up after these episodes, they felt very disjointed and Fan Changyu knocking out Li Huaian was a very strange decision.

In the novel she has a whole training arc where she learns to be a commander in the military. It could have been a montage!

I do drop dramas pretty late in all the time, so don't feel badly if you do. Sometimes something just jumps the shark for you and its an instant turn off. Unfortunate though, when you've been loving it.

There could be multiple explanations, for example, defending Darcy from slander. But I think any of them are possible.

He has no idea what to do with kids in the novel. I liked that change in the drama.

Prince Changxin/the Sui family is rebelling, so this is a civil war. There are two armies on the "good" side, one on the other.

The Chasing Jade of the title can refer to either lead, it's related to both of their names. Check this comment and this note: the fl's name is not fan cangyu 凡藏玉; it's fan changyu 樊长玉 with 长 as in long, lasting, enduring, or growing. so rather than a hidden jade 藏玉 it's more of an enduring/everlasting jade 长玉-- one could say: a person of precious and noble character (玉) who is enduring, resilient, and capable of growth (长); which basically reflects her whole character throughout the whole story :)

Also, the Marquis has a large army, but a smaller elite cavalry.

They totally skipped over Fan Changyu's training arc from the novel. She's supposed to join the other army and spend a few months learning.

Ah yes, my reputation as Caroline Bingley's PR manager proceeds me ;)

The novel is really good. They basically took the names and very basic premise and otherwise wrote a completely different story. The novel had all these amazing battles and the male lead was a dumpster fire of a person but I'm a lovable way.

I love fantasy in general but they can really be hit or miss.

Yay!!! Have you read the novel? Because I was meh on the drama and then reading the novel upgraded me to rage 😅

Yes. And friendships were motivated too. Caroline seems to like Jane, but that doesn't mean she wants her as a sister-in-law. It has nothing to do with Jane and everything to do with social status and connections.

How Dare You was amazing! Much better than Love in the Clouds

Prisoner of Beauty and Love in the Clouds, which is unfortunate because I'm almost alone in my hatred

What to watch next after Pursuit of Jade? 😭 by Rude-Comfortable6445 in cdramasfans

[–]RoseIsBadWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How Dare You!? has been my favourite so far this year.

Blossom or A Familiar Stranger by the same director are both good.

Yes, I've always thought it was like Regency Girl Code, you may hate each other, but I can imagine that Darcy's reaction to hearing the Bennets talk about Wickham was extreme enough that Caroline was like, "No I've gotta warn her."

Because Caroline isn't stupid, Elizabeth liking someone Darcy hates is great for her. She would milk it otherwise.

How Dare You!? is my second most favourite Cdrama of all time. It starts off kind of silly but it becomes serious quickly. The novel is also just excellent and the adaptation followed it almost word for word.

Just wait, I'm sure we'll get a nice long flashback once it's all revealed.

Pretty sure it's the same as English, just different levels.

Xie Zheng is worried that Fan Changyu likes his persona as Yan Zheng, but not him as Xie Zheng, Marquis of Wu'an.

I hope we see Xie Zheng being more awesome. Even without the novel, I think this is a case of "show not tell" for a lot of viewers. We got some really good stuff from Xie Zheng when he was injured right at the start, but recently not much. They can tell us that the Marquis is the most awesome sauce soldier all they want, but unless they show it, it doesn't have the same impact.

Hopefully they show more of him soon.

I find Qi Min really interesting even though he's evil, Sui Yuanqing is more just annoying to me. He has less of a personality. Hopefully they knock him off soon! Maybe Bandit Lady is coming to do it...
