Thank you for the link!!
"Thinking straight", lol xD I was kind of excited in the beginning when I saw she would appear more, but I think the changes they made so that would be possible kinda messes around with her character (bear in mind I'm still in the 10th (i think?) episode, so I haven't seen how far they've gone with this... Oh god.(/TДT)/ )
Lol right? And those soft smiles and long stares, constant touching I mean you have to be blind/hella straight not to get it lol. I love their relationship. It's so obvious to me that lan zhan is crushing hard and wei ying may not be aware hes crushing but hes totally obsessed with lan zhan its wonderful I love untamed. And I'm not against wen quin (sp?) In the drama but I didnt like her all that much probably cuz they tried to make her a love interest for Jiang cheng and wei ying. She was more badass in the novel. I enjoyed and am enjoying for the 2nd time the drama. Lan zhan is so efn beautiful lol and wei ying is exactly how I imagined he'd be XD
I loved her in the novel she was that badass big sister, kick your ass type girl. In the drama she wasnt like weak or anything but she wasnt my favorite. As far as girls go in the novel my favs are a-Qing for being badass, madame yu (in the anime she is even more awesome lol), wen qing for badassery and of course Yangli (I died in a puddle of tears when stuff happened) I loved that girl to bits and pieces in every efn version.
Shes definitely a difficult, abrasive woman but idk I loved how badass/lioness protecting her den type she was. I understood her as a character and yea she was mean and cranky but imo I dont think she actually hated or truly blamed wei ying. She was never actually cruel to him and she saved his life when she could have let him die which I think she would have done if she truly hated him. I think she was just frustrated since she couldnt help herself from comparing him and Jiang cheng, and comparing herself to Cangse Sanren. Problem is no one compares to wei ying so unfortunately jiang cheng never rly had a shot. At the end of the day I think madame Yu loved her family, we ying included but that's just my conjectures
Well, Madam Yu was certainly toxic, I felt worse about the way she treated Jiang Cheng tbh, like always hinting at how he wasn't enough and all that (I think that certainly helped him feel so insecure). But still, I feel that in the end she was just a very complex character and that despite everything she cared for those around her a lot specially her son, so I warmed up to her quite a bit (specially because she's the sort of female character we don't get very often, I thought she was refreshing).
Oh in all honesty she is the sole reason Jiang cheng is all sorts of messed up with a massive inferiority complex. Despite liking her construction I definitely detested how mean she was and how she basically ruined her son. I mean every issue in Jiang Cheng's life has roots in her inability to accept him as he is. I feel so bad for Jiang ngl, honestly, he's just gona have issues for the rest of his life especially after he found out about certain things >.< hes already an abrasive person with his mother's temperament but add to it all that low self esteem ugh. Poor bby. I wish he and wei ying could have resolved their issues better at the end of the novel, made me sad that they didnt rly air it all out. I feel like they're never going to meet somewhere in the middle which just makes me even sadder. Like rly sad, they both loved/cared/sacrificed so much for each other pre-reincarnation. Just doesnt feel right that their relationship ended the way it did. :/
I guess that now that I´m reading the novel, I´ll be able to understand her better. I felt that did not explain her with details in the drama. I also would like to see more of her maids, they were so badass in the drama!
I know what you mean about JC and WWX I felt really sad that they care so much for each other and ended up so bad. I was angry with CJ for even thinking of killing WWX
And that´s why I love the two Jade of GusuLan jijijji best brothers ever! second place Wq and Wn.
The best part about the novel (other than smexy times rofl) is all the details that flesh everything out. Everything is like so much more in the novel; more depth, more intricate, more emotion, more atmosphere etc. All the other mediums do great with the major points and ppl but they all miss the amazing amount of detail that the author puts in and yea best bros ever r lan zhan and xichen <3. I love xichen....ngl XP
I agreee with your comment SOOOO MUCHHHHH!!! Like madam yu was a badass but also kind of a bad mother sometimes her own insecurities (which okay are understandable) she reflected on her son and thats why JC is the way he is and one detail that I absolutely HATED IN EVERY DAMN ADAPTATION was the fact that they didn’t fix WX and JC relationship like soo unfair they deserved so much better
I like how the comic follows closely the original plot (at least until the chapter i read), but sometimes it feels like reading an abridged version rather than an adaptation... I can't stress how good the novel is, its atmosphere sometimes is downright chilling and I actually am disappointed at how non-scary everything is in the adaptations lol
I'll keep on reading because I feel quite lost after having finished the book, and it's a good companion to keep while watching the dorama (which has been disappointing to me for its decisions regarding the plot(/TДT)/ )
