another drama update
May. 10th, 2022 07:57 am Finished Sword Snow Stride
Started Who Rules the World and The Legends.
Sword Snow Stride ended on a o hay there's a second season note. Which might have been exciting if i'd watched it when it aired, but x-months later and there's no sign of a second season being worked on, and it's instead disappointing. I was really into this drama early on, like bingeing on it and shit, but it got slow and repetitive roughly 10 eps from the end. The only thing that kinda saved it for me was the final fight, which was pretty admittedly epic. I really liked the Fengnian character at first too, but his dopey self-righteous act got kinda old and he was just starting to look dopey carrying two swords around but never using them bc he had no real ability. The power transfer by the monk early on just looks nonsensical now. Ig all that could be resolved with a second season lmao but who knows.
I feel like I've watched so much xianxia lately and it's honestly bc that's mostly what out there seriously. Either that or modern romance/romcoms and i almost always hate those bc they usually involve "perfect guys" and "perfect" women with child voices. You read the plots and your eyes glaze over. I mean, even though there was some interesting elements to Moonlight, i left it on read at 13 eps and haven't been back. There needs to be more Republican era stuff ugh.
Anyway, so i started WRTW with Yang Yang and Zhao Lusi and it seems pretty promising. Looks slick, has a different feel that i can't explain from other xianxia, the fights are well done. Yang Yang remains his usual boring self, but Zhao Lusi is a perfect foil for him bc she's so animated and funny. I'm not super far in, but i like it so far.
Then there's The Legends LOL. THis looked really good to me but ugh...the first episode was insanely boring. No rhyme or reason for anything. The FL is hot, kinda reminds me of Shu Qi, but her hottness is ruuined somewhat by all the giggle snort giggle sigh dubbing. And ofc Xu Kai, but he hasn't done anything except look confused for three episodes. Hot, but confused lmao. I watched three eps and i'll probably give it a couple more just bc like i said, it LEWKS GUD. But it needs to shape up here.
