[Mainland Chinese Drama 2020] Love a Lifetime 美人暮白首

[Bridget Cheng]

I heard the first two episodes out. Anyone seen it yet? How is it?

[taekwang]

I think the first 2 episodes - pretty average

i stopped a couple of times to watch the new show Boss. - which I tot was much better as it’s comical , pretty similar to what’s wrong with secretary kim kind of vibe. And that pace is better, will glue you to the show with every episode development.

 

i think maybe need time to develop interest in this drama. allen ren character is pretty good. And he’s rather handsome in this role I must say. Will try and watch more n see what happens..

@angelangie hahahahaha me too, he is good at giving you an unforgettable impression. It’s impossible to forget his last roles but once he acts you feel like another person.

I really miss Daren Luyi so much. Love him very much...sigh

Somehow that character really struck a chord in my heart. I have watched so many dramas, but none affected me like that. Can't recall any character in any series that made me hit the rewind button like that!

Haha..he does know how to do the icy look. And I love his small sly smiles when he teases xinxia. And that scene in jail eating the mooncake just tore my heart out. And that last scene when he just stood there like a god and let xinxia run to him just about broke my fingers rewinding it..lol

I tried to watch but can't get into the drama.  I didn't feel the characters.

Its takes about two to three episodes to get into give it another try 

[杨过是大哥哥]

completed the drama yesterday

 

final rating 5.0/10

front half 7.5
middle one-third 7.0
last one-third 6.9 , getting draggy
final 2 episodes , plot took a shortcut to wrap up quickly , deduct points

Spoiler

 

if "touch poison" is so effective , the story could have ended right at episode 1 by either camps using it to eliminate others
it's a shortcut to not film a finale boss fight , same with RongJingFeng surrendering twice without showing his max skills.

supporting fighting characters always get surrounded but with max level luck they escape just fine

the male lead have bromance stronger than romance , when LuYiZhou was dying you can see the lead actor's best performance in the entire show

plot hole , Ling Sect didn't activate their zombie army as seen in ep7 and later when the male lead used healing-puppet skill level2
the zombies at ep7 wore heavy armor and made strange unhuman sound , they don't talk like male lead's puppets or the normal masked Ling Sect henchmen

 

best acting of the drama goes to MingZun MoHuan

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[I love dramas]

I am watching this drama right now .i love his drama under the power

Ren Jialun loved his role as Lin Jing because he could freely express his true feelings.   So different from Lu Yi in Under the Power.
