I've completely finished Novoland: The Castle in the Sky, and now I'm sad.

Normally I don't like romance dramas. I find them to be cringy, cheesy, and superfluous with all the 'will they won't they, love triangles, oh no! Hey, jealousy!' but I really got into this one.

I had to suffer through 8 episodes where the main focus was on the female lead pining over her teacher, and acting like a super annoying, love-sick, preteen writing his name with hearts in her diary. I had to skip past the song scenes with a heavily rose-tinted vingette filter they used in long, drawn out deep longing stares into each other's eyes.

Yes. I get it. Xue Jing Kong is extraordinarily hot. I will not contest that. Albeit stoic to a standoffish point. I'd be staring, too. But that's a little bit too much too many times.

I get some people get fluttery hearts over that, but I was like... Story, please? Move onto the story, please?

I started getting into it after episode 8 where their relationship started to have weight, and the series started to have a PLOT!!

Then it got really, really good once story-driven elements came into play that complimented the love story.

Once they both got their heads out of their asses about actually COMMUNICATING, I became invested in them as a couple.

There are so many issues with this series. Most of them I could overlook. Some of them, ... .like.... How in the dingus nuts did you guys comes to THAT conclusion??? omg, What are you doing?! Just tell him you didn't kill her! Come on, tell him your back still hurts from having your freakin' WINGS CUT OFF instead of insisting you're fine when you and he and the audience clearly knows you're not!

And obviously there are elongated death scenes, bad timing scenes, lots of blood, plenty of stabbing both physically, emotionally, and politically, and overacting drama for the sake of drama... because it's a drama.

All in all, I really did enjoy it. There were some prime humor elements, too - like how Xue Jing Kong gets drunk from one small cup of wine. He just stumbles and freezes for a while as though waiting for the world to stop spinning. Boy can't hold ANY liquor. :D The actor did a fantastic job here. I think I have a squish on him now. I love his use of magic so much. :) That hit the right points for me. (Or just a squish on the actor, Jeremy Tsui, because HOT DIGGITY DAMN IS THAT MAN HOT ENOUGH TO MELT FROZEN CHOCOLATE HOLY SHIT. Plus, he's only a couple of years younger than me. :) )

The acting improved a lot once the actors really got into their characters. The ending seemed rushed, though.

I want a season 3 that utilizes their beautiful wings a lot more. There wasn't nearly enough wing content. They had a bigger budget than last season, and plenty of CGI magic, so there's no excuse here.

If I don't get a Novoland: The Castle In The Sky season 3 with Jeremy Tsui in it, I will fucking riot.

They can put the castle back in the sky. They've done far more far-fetched things in this series.

If you don't know who he is, this is he as the character.

AmIright????

And he's in my age group. Sorry, kids. We millennials get this one. :)

Yup. It's a squish.

#novoland: castle in the sky season 2 #chinese fantasy drama #They could have utilized the wings a LOT more. I wonder if it was for budget reasons.#Either way Jeremy Tsui is hoooooooooot!#I know I'm demi-ace but COME ON! Look at him!#Fang Wu Yi #a.k.a Xue Jing Kong #There'd better be a season 3 in the works or I will fucking riot.#I'm officially taking notes for the long-running fantasy drama series two of my characters like to watch in my book #called 'Laki Rift'#Each season has a different subtitle.#Yune is a huge fan and has never missed an episode in 3 seasons.

I was promised in marriage to a Chinese prince (like in one of those fantasy dramas in China) and I did not want to marry him.

So I kept jumping down from high places (there was modern hip-hop music in the background for some reason) but every time I jumped down from somewhere, I lost 10 years of my life and did not die immediately, like I wanted.

The prince also kept chasing me around to catch me but he never succeeded.

At the end, I needed to jump one last time to actually die and escape the prince forever. But the moment I jumped, I woke up. I could still remember the background hip-hop music up to 10 minutes after waking up.

I am not Chinese, by the way.

chinese guzhuang fashion

#young actress and actors are cornering the guzhuang market #that's why the industry is becoming more and more competitive #when it comes to guzhuang idol dramas/guouju古偶剧 with fantasy elements(like xianxia dramas)#cnetizens are bored with the same old faces #media has found that young actress and actors (20-27 years old) especially new pretty faces are more appealing to viewers #cnetizens can actually be mean to actress and actors (over 33 years old) cast as lead characters in guzhuang idol dramas #reasons is that lead characters are usually portrayed as teenagers or really young people #and the audience find it very weird to have middle-aged people cast such characters #especially scripts are usually adapted based on fictions #so fans of the novels would be furious about such casting #besides cnetizens want to see normal aging faces #but these shows always use excessive filters and PS #causing the midle-aged faces to be fake and weird #i once saw really mean comments on douyin for xianxia dramas casting middle-aged actress getting over one hundred thousand likes #actress and actors in zhengju正剧 guzhuang dramas or luodi落地 guzhuang dramas are not affected by this #like telling a realistic down-to-earth story or story inspired by real history or related to folks #and there is no fantasy or xianxia elements #china #fashion #chinese fashion #guzhuang #cdramas

The dream arc of what happened 10000 years before is just painful. They just suffer constantly. They switched roles. They still just want to be happy. When Tianhuan cut the tree I wanted to cry. When Sangjiu stayed in the pool to purify herself even if she was burning just so she wouldn't bother Mingye I almost did.

I'm always like, "you should watch Chinese dramas they are so funny and silly". And then get emotionally crushed every single time. Good fantasy shows are not dead, you just have to let go of netflix. Take my hand and suspend your disbelief ✨✨

Happy Chinese New Year! And happy 2nd anniversary to the best Kung-Fu game I have never played! <333 Don't get me wrong, I'd really love to play it; I just don't have the time or enough space on my computer T_T

So I thought I'd draw the whole gang having a little New Year's party to celebrate! XDD MC gets out her camera and takes photos of everyone - even Sean, whom she finds notoriously hard to get a good picture of loll Kuroki and Jinfeng are of course the most stylish of the bunch; Fajar's just glad to have a new coat, which he's very careful about keeping clean (even as he hovers near the free food loll)

Also, quick note, the game uses simplified Chinese for "Sifu" but I decided to go with traditional just to keep it consistent with the "Happy New Year" text :)

#sean misunderstood the assignment and showed up in a dress shirt lmao #granted the dress code was just: wear something nice and red!#he was just unprepared to find everyone else looking like they walked out of a Chinese historical drama XDD #art #my art #fantasy #illustration #portraits #fanart #sifu #sifu game #sifu fanart #sloclap #kung fu #chinese new year #lunar new year #year of the dragon #chinese new year 2024
