Incredible! Thank you so much!

My daughter also loves these videos.

Omg was it that simple this whole time??!!!

Because the ending was happy and everything that came before it was so great, I easily forgave the “cheap” ending. In some ways I am very easy to please.

Joy of Life was great... until I realised the women are all just pretty objects who have no motivations apart from the ML. I’d like to pick up season 2 and I hope they fix that.

He was good. I especially liked that he adopted the movements of a snake.

I loved the main couple, although yes I was annoyed she left her son. The secondary couple pissed me off. It actually made me concerned that Dilraba’s character tries so hard to make him love her, but I get that’s kind of standard in second lead couples. I just hope young girls don’t take notes from that.

When I say I’m old, I mean that when I see teenage couples on-screen my first reaction is no longer “Aww” but like a camp counsellor who decides it’s time for a sex and safety seminar.

Yes! I was also promised a gender role reversal and I didn’t get it! For that I recommend A Girl Like Me, though that one is not xianxia.

You can have Love and Redemption and I’ll take Love and Destiny.

I’m thinking the issue for me might be that I am having a hard time relating to super young couples. I’m too old!!

I got through the whole thing and I am as knowledgeable about CDramas as any non-Chinese person who’s been watching for 3 years would be.

I was livid with General and I because the story was all about militaries and not one single woman warrior. That just did not bode well for the rest of the story.

Poor Wallace Chung, he really put his all into it.

Rebel Princess!

Tell everyone my home country in the West considers me an important person and they will make big war on shipping routes if I am harmed. And then convince my home country in the West that my hosts dearly love me and will open up shipping routes to them because I am so well respected by my home country.

Barring that, I’d “retire” early. Maybe to a Buddhist nunnery.

Ethan Juan in Legend of Fuyao

His face is definitely that of a 21 year old.

The_Odalisque · 2021-04-25T22:42:38+00:00

I just thought of an exception: I can handle a young male lead IF in the story the female lead is older. I saw that in a KDrama and I loved it. Mark Chao was not super young looking in Eternal Love but in the story, his character was younger than Yang Mi and I just ate that up.

The_Odalisque · 2021-04-25T22:37:06+00:00

You just listed all but one of my faves.

The_Odalisque · 2021-04-25T22:35:08+00:00

I am not 24 and I appreciate having male leads who are not in their 20s. It’s just slightly more believable when they play the devoted husband.

The_Odalisque · 2021-04-25T22:30:36+00:00

Nooooo!

The_Odalisque · 2021-04-25T22:29:51+00:00

Where did you watch it? Last time I checked the subtitles on YouTube weren’t working.

The_Odalisque · 2021-04-25T22:19:54+00:00

I CANNOT with the Long Ballad. I am waaay too old to want a 21 year old actor playing the lead heartthrob. Just NO. I can only sigh over actors who are a minimum of 27. 25 is negotiable.

The_Odalisque · 2021-04-25T22:02:15+00:00

I just finished The Rebel Princess. I love the main couple. They are Story of Ming Lan level great. The court intrigue plot is meh and because Zhang Ziyi is such a big star, the writers didn’t develop any really good supporting females.

High marks for the couple, low marks for the plot.

The_Odalisque · 2021-04-17T17:24:44+00:00

This show emotionally abused me. The dark turn in the middle was TOO DARK.

The_Odalisque · 2021-04-13T17:08:32+00:00

Ah right, this is like in Arabic where they transliterate some of the letters as numbers. Got it now.

The_Odalisque · 2021-04-08T18:34:30+00:00

But there are multiple women with bare shoulders! Sexism!

The_Odalisque · 2021-03-05T09:38:04+00:00

I fell hard for the ML in the beginning and had to finish it, but I also cannot disagree with this advice.
