i can talk about it now
Feb. 6th, 2022 09:55 am Well, it was only yesterday that I finished Psych Hunter and boooooooooyo was I disappointed. Like, it was oddly the most deflating feeling the end of that show. With no ToTC to watch, i felt like i was in a total show hole. Then I randomly picked up Minghao's very first drama, but I'll talk about that later lol. Mainly I have to discuss Psych Hunter and there will be spoilers bc idc lol. First of all, idk whether the ending was from the book it was based on or not. If it WAS, then that was the most cheaty bad writer way out ever. Like he/she couldn't figure out an ending and decided to go with the absolute worst exit strategy ever: it was just a dream.
The other option is that the censors murdered it in order to explain the supernatural aspects to it. That's incredibly weird and petty if so but i have heard that they try to keep that stuff out of dramas, which is why they're always lying in Lost Tomb about what's going on.
But basically, after 34 episodes of getting attached to all the characters and looking forward to a resolution on Liu Zhi and everything else. Maybe finding out why Jiang Shou was his disciple and why he had psychic powers or whatever, they completely collapsed it and threw us back to the future where a Jiang Shou and Dr. Qin that we have no reason to care about are patient and doctor, and the entire show has been nothing but JS's fever dream where he fights with his alternate personality.
To add insult to injury, the actual ending is completely open-ended. They wake up, but Qin says that it's a 50-50 chance whether the real JS wakes up or his alternate. And that's it. Judging by the sinister look on JS's face too it looks like the alternate won, which is even WORSE bc then the whole thing was even MORE pointless lmao.
It's like going on a journey with a goal in mind and when you get to the end, you realize that the goal was never feasible and you did it for nothing. This is totally different from the vaguely unsatisfying endings of say, ROP and UTP, this ending literally negated the entire drama. It really sucks lol bc i was really enjoying this drama and looking forward to the resolution.
Anyway...so now I'm randomly watching this Cambrian Period thing mainly bc I'm sugoi addicted to ToTC and am waiting for episodes and need something trashy to waste time. Idk that this is a particularly good drama even, but Minghao is impressive for his first drama and being only 20 at the time and whatnot. It's funny tho bc physically, he looks very manly, he's quite broad, etc, but his faaaaaaaaaaace looks really young lol. There's not a lot to choose from in his back catalog, but it looks like he has a lot of stuff coming up at least.
