Welp! I guess I am watching this when it comes out cos I am still hungover from #MysteriousLotusCasebook 😆

It's gonna be weird watching Cheng Yi in a modern drama for once.

Apparently this was filmed years ago, but maybe due to Cheng Yi's popularity this season Youku decided to bank on it.

Smart move and I am totally trapped by it 🤣

You know it is a sign of a good #CDrama if you have binged up to 11 episodes in an afternoon. Meteor, Butterfly, Sword is as good as I remember it. Even better now that I can watch it with English subs (watched it originally without).

Ngl it is super weird watching the villain of #MysteriousLotusCasebook as a righteous hero (he's not the male lead). 😆

Show is on Youtube btw: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU39TFGUKRrNx5L35JKUaZENK_7O_ELtA&si=hBoXUWeJo6PyMk8I

I have unexpectedly fallen into a #莲花楼 #MysteriousLotusCasebook hole. I did not expect this show to push my buttons, but they have and then some. 🫠 I'm sorry I'm a complete mess right now.

@geraineon oh forgot to tell you the Shan Gu Dao actor from #MysteriousLotusCasebook is in this show! Plays a good guy and an important role.

I found my fix after watching #MysteriousLotusCasebook - Meteor, Butterfly, Sword. It is based on a novel by Gulong & very underrated! I have been looking for it forever. It's about an assassin who falls in love but it is more than that. It is deep, dark & complex - itwill probably never pass China's censors today due to that. (Happy ending tho!)
The episodes are on Youtube with English subs - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSIJismKOisGiS6PkRAHJa0rZ_YL06en8&si=XDJ__HpehbWcyf7K

Watch it! It is really good, promise.

(I’m sure it’s good, but I can’t read it yet because it’s spoilery for the whole show.) #FicRec #FicRecFridays

Slightly late for #wip Wednesday, but here we are the first part of a new #MysteriousLotusCasebook fic.

#ao3 seems to be having connection issues at the moment - it’s take about 8/9 attempts to get the screenshot and link to the fic

@liztai did you see the post about how when it aired in a different channel - CCTV rather than IQIYI - that the extra ending episode was edited slightly differently? So that the three of them all being on the beach together is the more likely interpretation of scene - the colours seem warmer to, like there’s meant to be a sense of hope about it.

I can see if I can find the link it if you want. Its already here on mastodon under the #mysteriouslotuscasebook tag already if not

And it’s complete (with about another 1k words written for a sequel)

Did not expect the rock & metal music at the start of episode 39 😅

#MysteriousLotusCasebook

I've long resigned to "finger fu" in #CDramas where they twirl & wave their fingers about and things sparkle in the air (ie #BloodOfYouth). But #MysteriousLotusCaseBook has set a new bar for action scenes: Acrobatic, dance-like moves of old #wuxia shows, which I thought had long disappeared. I'm also quite impressed #ChengYi did most of the movements himself.
This is a 4.5/5 star show. Totally the best I've seen in a long time.

Seriously, such perfect casting for Di Feisheng. Xiao Shunyao can do menacing yet honorable like no other.

Episode 32 of #MysteriousLotusCasebook
- Proof that Cheng Yi is such an amazing actor. The rage and grief in his eyes as he discovered the heartbreaking truth about the person he had loved and grieved for 😭
Also... 8 more episodes?? I am not ready to leave this show yet

#CDrama #CDramas #China #TV

#LoveYouSevenTimes sounds like a show that will drive me insane. And not in a good way 🤣
It is the classic #XianXia love plot of "you are doomed to reincarnate and live 7 tragic love affairs" and these things drive me crazy.

The visuals though.

Still, after the writing, production and acting excellence of #MysteriousLotusCasebook, it is going to be hard to transition to this idol drama. MLC made me realise how much I miss brotherhood #Wuxia. They are too rare.

#CDrama #CDramas #China #TV

What impressed me most about #MysteriousLotusCasebook, besides the excellent acting of the cast, especially Cheng Yi, are the fighting scenes. The best I have seen in a long, long while in #CDramas.
The cool thing is Cheng Yi did most of his stunts himself.
