I've been reading comments on red note and bilibili. Apparently he spent two months filming many battle scenes, and a lot of his highlights or important scenes were deleted to make way for other side characters, because the those actors are pushed by the investors of the drama.
I've watched so many dramas/movies in different languages in the past that I felt pretty jaded going into poj, meaning I have sky high standards and saw poj as something I will try but probably won't be invested in. Mind you, if a show is not entertaining enough I usually just watch recap videos.
I've been sufficiently spoiled thanks to Threads and Insta and already saw all the highlight lovey dovey moments, as well as bts videos, and I have a gist of what to expect for the rest of the show, and I'm aware that the second half will drag.
Up until episode 8, I can say that while I was entertained, I did not feel committed and was ready to drop as soon as it got boring. That was until>!Changyu thought that Yan Zheng left without saying goodbye. That sense of loss hit me like a truck. Then when Yan Zheng appeared in the doorway, the sense of relief that someone dear to you returned home also hit me like a truck.!<Before I knew it, I've become emotionally invested and dependent on them being together. I took their coexistence for granted. They haven't done anything truly intimate yet, yet they feel so close to one another.
I'm disappointed knowing that the second half will drag and that the execution is not consistent throughout the show. But now I've reached the point of investment that everyone else on Threads seemed to reach.
My plumber just replaced my pvc pipe with a cast iron pipe. It was his recommendation. Can someone please give me a neutral and informed opinion?
occasionally i feel creeped out by my dad. let's say I'm eating dinner with my mom and dad. if i sit directly across from him, his body faces me. if im sat diagonally from him, his body still faces me. and i feel like he glances at me. this started six years ago when i had an emotional affair with an art teacher and i guessed my mom had told my dad about my teacher watching me eat. at that time six years ago there were two instances where my dad stared at me for a long time and it creeped out to no end. now i sometimes feel a glance from him at dinner, and i get super sensitive about it and creeped out by it. I've told my sistet but she doesn't believe me and thinks I'm imagining things.
