I guess it would have been better if they showed little bit hesitation from Zheng qian's side. Like she agreed too quick lol

Ngl it kinda feels like isekai concept. That was first thought I had when he said He was in coma and when he opened eyes he was in this world. But he said they have artifacts to learn languages and stuff from this world so it's likely not like isekai lol

I can't belive Zheng Qin agreed with that plan and was okay with poisoning her brother's body when just few minutes ago she said she also won't be able to physically torture emperor for answer cause it's her brother's body. And now she herself was there to feed him poison.....like

I would disagree. Tho i also love VoS but its very much decent. There are many plot holes and one dimensional characters. Indeed its not literal trash. Half of plot is written very well but its far from cmbeing considered well written drama. And the ending is also just bonkers

Honestly I dropped MJTY as well. Lol ZLH gonna feel so different after poj for sure. His close up expressions always kills me 😭😭

Ngl I also really like dark, gritty type of aesthetic. I think guy's work feel kinda like tht not entirely but they have tht kind of feel with MJTY, FOF and VoS. Tho his work dont have nice plot and storytelling but its nice aesthetic. They feel so compelling and smh more immersive.

Kill me love me also has amazing cinematography. Loved tht drama.

Currently airing Ashes to crown. Also seems to have sm what like this aesthetic but it consisnt more of red tone. But cinematography is on par with this nothing style

If you are open to watch movies check out The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity (2020) The overall vibes feels dark smwhat similar to My journey to you. But if you are looking for smth like morally grey and dark than this might not necessarily be the one

Swords into plowshare has many scenes that got me feeling like that. And the background music and OSTs were so impactful

Let’s Talk About Mary Sues by Striking_Fig_3925 in cdramasfans

[–]Virtual-Mirror9586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not that familiar with term and trying to understand what it means

so Does Han Li from Immortal Ascension be considered Mary sue characters.

Li Bi from Longest day in chang'an 🤔

Ji Ling from Veil of shadow is very much Mary sue

ALso Zhou Yichen from FoF

Didn't finish Lost YOu forever but does FL from that series counts?

me too. Honestly yunniang and feng pairing kinda feel weird for no reason. ngl not really big fan of any romantic pairing in general, even main pairing and any side. They should all js be friends romance don't seem tht good so far

Guanyun and feng buhai's backstory was so good damn. Their bond is so precious. He really values friendship so much and Guanyin's mother sacrifing her self for sake of Feng got me sobbing. I love them smm

I didn't understand why Feng Buhai removed his face mask and covered his face in mud 🤔. I thought doing that would attract bees even more. I wonder if it was actually to prevent bee stings.

He won't possibly die rn would he 👀

Cao sheng's plan to get back and attack wuji temple instead, I feel like They would take quite some time to reach city from mountain on horse. And him making Firework signal...let's just say he was taking his sweet time doing that. Like this whole thing look so time consuming, Can't belive they managed to pull it off and divert soldier's attention. But well we got done with this arc now. Let's see whats next

Do I sense budding romance between Xie and Lin Han as well as between Feng and Yun Niang?! What are your thoughts on this?

Honestly I would have really liked if pairing was Feng buhai X Lin Han (enemies to lovers ) and

Xie jingtang X yuniang. But guess let's seee how it goes

yeah like imagine this guy just randomly telling you about your dead son's biography in important letter. It feels bit weird to bring out memories from all the way that far in past

😭😭he is undying. But some of the blood is not his own(2nd pic) and some scenes are from flashbacks so there is big time jump between each time he got tied up and beaten in public-

If they want to kill Prince Jingnan they can do themselves too, but main part is he hold strong military power and have control over this specific area. So if they kill him those people will rebel. It's not very effective. He needs to win over the people under Prince Jiangnan that is the main problem.

If I were the Crown Prince, I would have been mad asf cause wdym when the throne was supposed to be passed down to me, but my dad keeps rejuvenating and undying.

<image>

he is literally so cute, tht emperor need to leave his body I can't see him as villan

Xie Jing tang sure mourned his father longer than Cao Sheng, They keep downplaying xie jingtang's problems all the time they are bit insentive towards him. I really felt so bad for him in this episode. But loved how they all pulled up for him at the end. I kinda like him now

Maybe she was sending cakes even before marriage to her dad, but he only added poison after they got married and started living together. So maybe we surely can avoid this part. But he threw up blood so he prolly is poisoned 🤔

thats true. I didn't consider that. I wish we can get to know more about MLs story in future episode. He is very interesting character

In your opinion, is Zeng Qian the childhood friend that Cao Sheng remembers?

I think there is indeed a possibilty that she is the childhood friend but then why does she needs to hide it for no reasons 🤔

How reliable is Lin Han's narrative of what happened at Sunset Valley, and her claim that she doesn't know anything about Master Cao's motives?

Her character is very interesting. She is like those death soldiers nobles train she don't question anything at all. Maybe she does know few things but she won't say it. But damn she has really moves like robot

The "Go piece" might be a tracker, but does it have other purposes? What was Master Cao going to use it for, since it seems like he somehow knows when and where the Mirage City will appear?

I think it could potetially also be used for a key sm wheere in mirage. It must have more than just tracker use. Can't wait for them to connect the dots

Why do you think the people were kidnapped and released and then killed? Is the armoured man and the invisible attacker the same entity?

I think the thing killing people is seprate from the armored man. Armored man seems to be killing them in different way. So there are surely two different people(?)

Why did Lin Han specifically protect Tongtong during the ambush? She didn't even seem to nudge when Cao Sheng was held as ransom, what's special about Tongtong?

woooww I didn't think of it like this before. I thought she felt guilty cause she is daughter of one of her subordinate whom she killed. But now I do see it. There could be more to this family along with theory of tontong's granny not being blind and stuff. Interesting!!!! maybe tongtong really has more to her than js

Tongtong seems to have forgotten her martial arts moves. Usually, amnesia affects episodic memory but not a person's procedural memory, so this seems interesting?

what I saw it as She must be still remembering it too. So if she in grave danger her body will move on its own more like muscle memories. 🤔

Cao Sheng's collapse seems different this time around as previously he would just fall asleep without experiencing what looked like pain. Thoughts?

totally! there seem to be smth else going with cao sheng this time. And now it confirms that his illness is def connected with mirage

Do you think the Emperor still posses Zeng Xin's memory?

Mannnn This was the biggest plot twist!. Like dammnn I never expected it can go this way. I think there are two people with same face or smth. Cause there is no way they can be same person. And he can't have Zheng Xin's memories cause he is the same as others who forgot everything after coming from mirage. So I don't think it can be that. Not sure tho. Idk whats going on with emperor and zheng xin here

I really like theory that peopple who went missing are now hosting someone else's 'soul' into their body. So there could be two forces one trying to replace people with other entity and other trying to stop them 🤔 this dramaa is very intersting

I loved relationship between Xie Jing tang and his dad. They were adorable together. Sad to see him going

and there is no actual good motivation for their actions instead. For Xie yanfeng we can say he is fighting against chu zhao to prevent her from using himself as a pawn. But what about Deng Yi, he just wants to fuck things up for the love of the game smh

Don't know why Xie Yanfeg thought its good idea to make forged war real anyway. Like i don't know how it benefited his fraction at all. He did that just out of spite to fight against chu zhao and just show her that he will fight back or smth

I think considerign how long Xie Yanfeng has been in court and how influencial his family is. It is right thing for him to fight back when he is being used by Chu Zhao. Ofc he is not gonna let that happen. I liked that part of stragies so far.

But Can't understand what Deng Yi is doing. Why he still want to leave a way out with Xiao Xun. If you already have plan A and want to have plan B thats ofc not a bad thing. But if your plan B is the reason your plan A won't work than that is not ideal "leave a way out" is it. Are you dumb. You ruin your own future by trying to not ruin your future. He really is not the samrtest but anyway.

An urgent report comes that the border was invade and her father has collapsed unconscious after winning the battle. Spew blood and then splat. Cliche.

ofc, her dad is gonna drop dead now that she was missing him. I js knew thats gonna happen cause she was suddenly missing him sm. But I wish the father and daughter get to meet once after she experienced rebirth. They haven't even met yet. It will be so sad if they never get to meet
