Half of Us (2023)

A STUPID ENDING

I think it will be the second season, so they sent the wufang girls out and heralded a new adventure. The Swordsman is also waiting for the woman he loves. It didn't happen.
In general, the series was very well constructed, well blended, the story was tried to be reflected properly, and it was one of the series with a different narrative that I have watched recently. I think it depends on the director. I got some American influences. Different things were tried, especially places, clothes, styles, lifestyles, secrecy, intelligence, swordplay, advanced techniques and mystery were included and a blend was made. It looked nice to me. Congratulations to the director. However, there were also mistakes that I don't know whether to call small or big. Especially when Wufeng was introduced, his ruthlessness, his ability to train invincible swordsmen or fighters, and his ruthlessness were mentioned. The way they use people is given in a very strange way, such as cruelty, using poison, being given an antidote if you complete your mission. Likewise, the Gong family, known for its closedness, secrecy, infiltration, security measures, swordsmanship, and Yellow and Gold Guards, was introduced as an uncompromising group. However, we saw that it was very easily infiltrated. Games were played knowingly and unknowingly. Likewise, with a little trick, Wufeng was tricked and the sword masters and fighters they praised so much were killed. Likewise, a great swordsman was created from an irresponsible child. The person suddenly became perfect. His mind became clear. He mastered all sword games and martial arts and became invincible. He became resistant to poisons. Finally, our daughter, the Wufeng spy who stole the endless heat, left home saying she was pregnant. Escaped. This person did not love the person he married. But we saw that he suddenly grew white flowers and watered them. ShangJue, who kept his distance from that woman, also started to like her. Now we will see in the future that this woman will do new things and cause trouble for the GONG family. Unexpected behavior from the highly praised Shangjue. Unexpected belief, deceived. I don't know if he will have children. But I think they will start the new season by playing tricks on WeiShan or taking him hostage. These were mistakes that should not have happened. I liked the actors very much. I didn't find any faults with the game. I even congratulate the players. The only thing I find faulty is that Yu Shu Xin plays with the same face for 24 episodes. If there is a sequel, he will play. Dead eyes. Eyebrows curved to give a sad facial expression. This face has never changed in good times, bad times, excitement, anger, fight, love or practice. The director said that this face of yours should be like this, spiritually. It remained that way. Is this how normal is? I don't know if he's not smiling or if he doesn't have any other behavior. I also watched a little of another series. It didn't seem that bad to me, but I couldn't figure it out here. I wondered if she was chosen for this role because of her cleavage, that is, her physique. However, Lu Yu Xiao, the actor in the same situation, on the contrary, gave all the facial expressions. She laughed, got angry, rejoiced, pretended to be in love. I love games played. His face changed, why didn't this one change, director? I didn't like these. I liked Zhang Ling He very much. It seemed to me that he grew up with his role. Well done. Ryang Cheng, Jolin Jin, the ridiculous personality who makes us laugh with different variations, Tian Jia Jin the Poisoner, Omid, Ai Mi. They were the players I liked. I liked them all, but these a little more. Let me say this for Ai Mi. It makes you think this girl can't be at this age. I've watched a few more TV series. Near perfect acting. A simple and pure and very beautiful face. Beautiful smile, beautiful look, very good facial expressions. He did his stubbornness especially well. I saw a very bright future. Hopefully the future will be clear. I think she will be a sought-after actress. He has already become one of my favorite actors. I congratulate him. Enjoy watching...

Família Gong

"Tudo depois do nascer do sol é quente e cheio de esperança. Não importa quão longa seja a noite, haverá nascer e sol. Não há parede neste mundo, que possa impedir o sol de nascer."

Yun Wei Shan é uma personagem maravilhosa, fiquei encantada por cada movimento e me comovi por sua história. Shangguan Qian, apesar de ser uma vadia, ela é incrível minha nossa que mulher! As duas quando se juntavam se tornavam ainda mais espetaculares, elas mais inteligentes que todo mundo junto, as divas tinham os homens na palma da mão!
O que falar dos irmãos da família Gong! Ziyu um querido mimado emocionado, que correu atrás do que queria e da mulher dele, TUDO POR ELA haha. Shangjue, QUE HOMEM, toda vez que aparecia eu me derretia inteira, tudo que ele fazia era milimetricamente calculado, o melhor Gong, ele sim deveria ser o portador da espada, mas tudo bem o Ziyu ser. O Yuan Zhi, mano mimado incrivelmente mortal, amo o jeitinho birrento dele, principalmente com a Shangguan haha.

Achei que o romance da Weishan e o Ziyu poderia ser mais aprofundado, ele aceitou fácil e rápido demais ela ser de wufeng. O irmão mais velho ser um vilão não gostei, achei fraco.
O Shangjue e a Shangguan tem uma química absurda! Quero eles dois juntos na próxima temporada!
Jin fan e a Zi Shang, um casal secundário muito querido, morri de rir com ela!
Apesar das mortes, amei a família trabalhando juntos no final!!!

Que filmografia maravilhosa, cada cena, cada detalhe, simplesmente lindo demais.
Amo tudo que a Esther faz, QUE ATRIZ!
Ansiosa pra próxima parte!

It seems much ado about nothing and kind of R&J to me.

I am responding to this drama that I have watched and I am not personally attacking any actor or actress in real life. After all, I do not know them at all and have nothing against them. No hate on them at all! It is all based on this particular drama only/ this particular reel life only.]

I was kind of shocked by how cutesy and high-pitched the FL's voice was in another famous series (which made me feel rather repulsed then) and so, I was quite skeptical about this drama. Nonetheless, I just watched "Kunning Palace" and loved the ML as Xie Wei/ Xie Ju An in it and so, I thought "let's go!".

These are my honest thoughts about this particular drama, and I have nothing against any actor or actress in real life.

Upon starting the very 1st episode, it was pleasant to see that FL had a different sort of role in this drama and I thought "seems good". The colour of the drama and the production and costumes ... looked high class and polished. After watching the action-packed 1st episode, I looked forward to the 2nd episode. All seemed quite great and I was quite intrigued.

However, as I continued watching, I found myself feeling less intrigued and more bemused and even bored by the shenanigans of the deadly spies... everything seemed to be going round in circles and was even rather confusing to me. The four factions (can I call them 'factions') on Wu Feng's side as well as on Gong's side were perplexing and rather boring. My thoughts were "this is starting to feel sort of like R&J where we have 2 feuding factions who are just feuding and feuding and much ado about nothing". I felt that there was a lot of posturing going on but nothing much worthy was going on.

Currently, I am in two minds about this drama - to continue or to drop. And so, it is "On-Hold" at the moment. While I recognise that this production is a good one and big budget with good actors and actresses, it did not make me feel invested and keen. It also did not make me feel the urge to continue watching to find out how things would pan out.

Let me see how I should proceed from here ;o)

A Mixture of Darkness and Comedy

This drama gives the vibe of a suspense drama yet manage to mix it with a light comedy through the role of the Eldest Sister. At first she looked familiar but I couldn't pinpoint where I saw her before until Ep.5. She was one of the guest in Keep Running. Oh my goshhhh, no wonder...LOL.
I have tried to watch Esther Yu's works but it failed to keep me completing the dramas as most of her roles were not my cup of tea. Sometimes I think she only managed to play the role of bubbly-pretty, and somehow less wise girl. But, this time she captivates me through her roles and I think I portrays it pretty well.
Zhang Ling He, well, my first time watching his work and I think I will put him on my watch list. His role is in this drama induces women's protective nature. A nice and honest guy with strengths and vulnerabilities.

Dropped, tried my best!

First of all this is my OWN opinion. Feel free to don't agree with it. I just write my own experience down if you don't agree with it then please scroll down and don't read it.

I started watching this because I saw it had a good rating and I love fantasy, hidden identity, romance and action too. So I gave it a try. It's actually started intresting, with it's own dark, gloomy set. Since I haven't seen much episodes I can't really tell further. The two main leads meeting was quite intresting in the prison but I didn't mind it first. But when she actually tried to escape to lure him or idk what to was a bit stupid for me. I didn't much further since I got annoyed and dropped it without regrets.

I know a lot of people like this drama, because it's own beauty but I specialy didn't liked the dark theme. I especially like Esther dramas but I didn't liked this one.
