Resting Tragic Face
In no particular order:
- the split screen close ups. Why?
- just randomly everyone got over the fact the ML SA’d the FL because it was, idk, convenient for the story?
- fairly significant characters just drop off and never return.
- exactly how many wives does the ML have and was it just me or did he keep adding them after declaring himself totally devoted to FL?
- costumes: women are giving Qing, court headwear is giving Ming (?) and men’s’ daily headwear is giving early dynasties. I’m so confused.
- the thing where age is shown by creepy thin mustaches
- should have been 20 eps
- did they even move the fam into the lord’s residence? Everything looks the same.
- why is a prince giving edicts? Why does he have eunuchs?
- lingwei goes and marries what seems to be a decent khan who has no other wives and mom just lays down and does? Why tho? This seemed like a decent outcome considering the local male supply.
- what was the damage with not lifting doctor martial arts aide’s pariah status for so long? Ffs women literally killed children and went about their lives.
- Jirou (mysterious sister wife that went from enemy to friend after Mu Hai You went to the farm) was easily a top 5 character and we saw so little. I’d have preferred the story of Jirou.
- best characters: lord grandpa, fourth madam, Jirou, the two dudes at the farm and dong li. Dong li was a rider
- when dad was named as the rice hull bandit i groaned. I groaned.
Tl:dr - this was too long and made no sense but was entertaining in part. FL had stinky sad face on constantly. Looking like something smells on set is not acting.
