Happy friday drifters of dramaland. This kappy got a new job! Starting work next monday. This past week was supposed to be my vacation week but the migration to a new home took a handful of my hair away…. Lol. Life… is never the way you planned it out.
Awwww this is so cute! The adorable sidekicks we have come to like in various projects lead a drama together! Li Xian (Dr. Qin Medical Examiner) and Zhang Ming En, the adorable lieutenant under Fu Ye in The Mystic Nine will rein you in with another mystery-themed drama, Tientsin Mystic (河神 = River God) adapted from the novel written by Tian Xia Ba Chang. Flooding ravages the land of Tianjin conjuring up numerous strange tales about the river. Li Xian plays Captain of the police team known as River God. He works together with a young master (Zhang Ming En) who escapes from his family’s business to pursue scientific solutions. Along with the two boys, two ladies help their cause in solving the mysterious cases; 1) Captain’s childhood sweetheart (Wang Zi Xuan) and a dignified news reporter (Chen Yu Mi). However, all the clues link back to a story that happened 20 years ago about the rise of a secret evil cult wreaking havoc in Beijing and He Bei. The youngsters must stop the return of the evil cult.
I anticipated the whole week for this event until the bomb dropped last night that Li Ying wouldn’t be able to attend because she needed to film an important scene for her movie, Ride the Winds Break the Waves, with Eddie and Deng Chao. Sigh….. Her manager went in her stead and she won Artist of the Year Award. Most of the attendees were Li Ying’s co-stars too! Good thing they have a good variety of stars to reel me back in. heh. The pretty!
Time to say good bye to a train without plot (no wonder why there was no living person riding it!! LOL, sorry, I’m snarky) but a fascinating background. Sigh. So much potential, Show!
A lot of things happen in these episodes, yet nothing… really happens? So many meetings, so many conversations, yet I feel like there is zero progress story-wise. Instead we climb back into the gloomy mine. Even our OTP is just rehashing their conflict.
The fiercely loyal and devoted wife of Er Ye finally succumbs to her illness, leaving a wake of destruction and despair in her death. In this lifetime, she bids farewell to her husband but makes sure he doesn’t try to follow her. Meanwhile, our OTP ship is all set to sail.
Xin Yue may not be Qi Shan’s idea of a perfect bride but the whole world seem to agree they make a pretty pair. Thanks to our fearless heroine breaking down walls and ruffling feathers, we get to see a more human side of Qi Shan. With her, he is a lot of emotions: intrigued, confused, bewildered, annoyed — sometimes all at once.
The stubborn, young rich miss finally joins the party and already she knows what she wants. She is bright and chirpy, everything that Qi Shan is not and I can’t wait for them to finally interact. She’s a girl with a crush and mission and you just know there’s no way something as measly as a forged identity will get in her way of getting her man.
