Chapter 121: Web Drama Reviews
Qiansha felt that Rong Yu was pretentious. No matter where he went, he always wore a friendly face, his words were too slick, his emotional intelligence was so high it felt hypocritical, giving people a sense of deep scheming. It was impossible to tell how many masks he wore.
Yuxiang Rousi felt that Qiansha were really applying double standards. If they used this standard to judge others, then wasn't Ming Qian's little-white-lotus act even more pretentious?
Whenever they heard such rebuttals, Qiansha would angrily counterattack: Our Brother Qian is not pretentious! He is genuinely cute! He is the angel in our hearts!
In short, the arguments went back and forth without end.
Because of these disputes, these two dramas naturally became the recent focus. Many casual viewers who had seen "Blood Mist" couldn't help but click on "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close," wanting to see just how good this drama was, how it could make it onto the hot search list every day.
But they soon discovered that "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close" was a very simple, very formulaic romantic time-travel xianxia drama.
The beginning described the female lead's ordinary life in the modern world. The only extraordinary thing was that when she went out and got hit by a car, while flying through the air and reviewing the montage of her life, the slow-motion shot was so slow it almost froze. Finally, her body landed with a splat, surrounded by screams of surprise mixed with the sound of car horns. And that was the end of the modern scenes.
After her soul traveled to the xianxia world, the female lead bumbled her way through, doing many stupid things that would have gotten anyone else killed hundreds of times over. Each time, she managed to turn danger into safety thanks to her protagonist halo and even gained something from it.
Thus, all sorts of cannon fodder became jealous of her, eagerly offering up their faces for her to slap. Meanwhile, the aloof, cold and celibate handsome immortal lord male lead, who had been untouched for tens of thousands of years, just happened to take a fancy to her and wanted to marry her.
[Slapping someone's face: to have one's claims, boasts, or actions be decisively proven wrong by facts, resulting in public embarrassment or a loss of face.]
Then, this female lead, armed with the advanced ideology of modern free love, was very unwilling and secretly plotted to escape the marriage.
"Worlds Apart, Yet So Close" also released its first three episodes initially. The end of the third episode was the female lead planning how to escape the marriage.
Casual viewers who finished these three episodes: "..."
They felt that, well, similar xianxia dramas seemed like they were all written by the same screenwriter working furiously.
Also, if it weren't for the dazzling protagonist halo, in the xianxia world, with all those brainless actions by the female lead, the grass on her grave would be two meters high by now!
Speaking of Dramas V: Well, what can I say? These two dramas, one is a crime investigation mystery, the other is a xianxia romance. They simply aren't comparable! Audiences who like crime investigation mysteries will naturally prefer the former, those who like sweet and sour romance will naturally watch the latter. The genres and target audiences of the two dramas are completely different, what's there to compare? Break it up, break it up, everyone go back to your own homes, watch your own dramas.
About Watching Dramas V: Friendly advice, for the two newly aired dramas, friends who like using their brains to watch and deduce, click on "Blood Mist." Friends who want to taste the sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy of love, with supporting characters and cannon fodders making their grand entrance to sprinkle salt and chili peppers, are advised to click on "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close."
Comment 1: Honestly, in the original novel of "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close," the female lead wasn't this naive and silly sweet at all, and she never did the stupid things shown in the drama. And those cannon fodders that came out of nowhere are literally delivering their faces from a thousand miles away, specifically for the female lead to slap. I just don't get it, does the female lead have some face-slapping system installed on her? If she doesn't slap enough faces, she can't level up or change equipment or something?
Comment 2: Hahaha, what the person above said just gave me a mental image. Now, every time I see the female lead slap some eager cannon fodder, I imagine a row of golden words appearing above her head: "Slap Count +1".
Comment 3: If you can't stand watching it, then don't watch it. Who's begging you to watch it?
This slightly aggressive tone quickly aroused discontent among a group of people.
This blogger "About Watching Dramas V"'s followers usually had this kind of vibe. They used the blogger's shares and warnings to choose dramas to watch, then freely discussed them in the blogger's comment section, judging the drama, not the people.
Now, suddenly having the female lead's fans mixed in and arguing naturally stirred up trouble.
The female lead of "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close" could be considered a popular young actress with many fans. Her anti-defamation team checked in daily, stationed to sweep away negative comments, as if they had bought a villa on Weibo. Whenever there was the slightest stir, they could catch the scent and come chasing to drive people away.
To make the male actor playing the male lead popular, the investor backing this drama had clearly spent a fortune. Apart from that male actor, the female lead, male supporting roles, and female supporting roles were all popular traffic stars.
Unable to withstand the fans' sharp tongues and persistent pestering, this wave of passersby discussing "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close" scattered like birds, not wanting to provoke this trouble anymore.
Thus, gradually, the favorable rating and star level of "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close" were boosted up by the vast number of fans.
