Drama Gossip: The Spirealm (致命游戏)

Source: Google Images

It started off peculiarly; first, his domestic cat refused to let him cuddle it. Lin Qiushi soon found that a sense of disharmony and incongruity began to pervade everything around him. Then, one odd day, he pushed open a door, and he discovered that the hallway he was familiar with turned into a boundless corridor. At both ends of this corridor were twelve, identical iron gates. Thus, the story began.

I do not consume everything that has the 'entering a virtual game with real life consequences' plot-line but when I do, I more or less will enjoy them. The Spirealm is exactly that plot-line and after just finishing 19th Floor (another Chinese drama with similar concept), I was expecting more and hoping for lesser disappointment.

This drama did not disappoint at all. Lets first talk about the roles and the cast. Brilliant job on the casting, everybody pulled off their role so wonderfully, it felt like they were made for their roles. As for the characters these actors portrayed, wow. I haven't been obsessed with a fictional Chinese character in such a long time but Ruan Lan Zhu is so easy to be obsessed with. The writing was brilliant because I very quickly grew attached to the main people and when shit hit the fan, yeah, I felt everything as if I was a part of them.

Spoilers going on from here so if you haven't watched the show, go and watch it now, please?

As I was saying, I was so attached to some of the characters, I really, wow... Say Li Dong Yuan first. I actually already was spoiled with his death, I even knew which door was going to cause his death yet when it happened, I physically gasped. Then his farewell scene came about and goodness gracious, Xiao Zhuang's reaction was absolutely heart-wrenching. It really did not help that right before getting stabbed, the door Dong Yuan went through for Ling Ling was one of the most entertaining and comedic doors.

After that Zao Zao's death? She was already trying her best in the real world, she tried her best in the spirealm. She gave one of the best speeches ever. Yet that chandelier... I never hated chandeliers as much as I do now.

That's the thing about The Spirealm. This show has plenty of heartbreaking scenes but at the same time, it has a bunch of hilarious scenes too. You really can go from laughing one second and then depressed the next. Exactly like when Cheng Yi Xie sacrificed himself for his brother? One second I was laughing at Lan Zhu begging for Ling Ling's forgiveness and suddenly I was pissed but before I could even get real mad, I was hit with a broken heart. This may sound like a complain but the roller coaster of emotions made this drama ten times more interesting than other dramas.

Moving on to the game or doors or levels (however you want to call them). I really, really enjoy shows with this concept but many a times, the stakes just aren't high enough. Not The Spirealm though. I mean, look at Dong Yuan, Zao Zao and Yi Xie. They are part of the main leads and that world did not go easy on them. As much as I hate that they died, I really appreciated the high stakes in this drama. It made watching the show so much more worth it.

Anyhow, despite thoroughly enjoying this drama, I have so many questions. First things first, did I miss the significance of the necklace Lan Zhu gave Ling Ling during the first door?

Also (this is not that important by the way), when the time comes, the players have no choice but through the door. We've watched Ling Ling enter his doors plenty a time. Now tell me how did Wu Qi survive?

I may be someone who loves an ambiguous ending but if the theory that everything was not real is in fact real, I hate it. Yet, everything being a part of Ling Ling's dream or "hallucination" does make sense, as much as I hate it. Remember where Ling Ling walked into upon completing the first door? He entered the door in the middle of the road and exited it into his house? The discrepancies started right from the beginning. Which (if I did not miss anything) might explain the lack of significance behind the necklace. It will also explain why Ling Ling's time between each door is never long yet Wu Qi's not worried about his next door when he witnessed Dong Yuan's death? Or that Chen Fei's advancement is so much slower than Ling Ling. Furthermore, I'm supposed to believe the crew learnt about a mysterious man who helped Xiong Qi reunite with Xiao Ke in the spirealm and they did not investigate more?

I really do hate the everything was not real theory but I also cannot deny it's the most reasonable one. There was another theory I chanced upon on Douyin a while back and have since forgotten most of the information. However, I like that theory a lot even though it was quite farfetched. Long story short, the user theorised that after Lan Zhu walked into the portal and cleaned the program, Ling Ling woke up and regained consciousness after being hit, right? That's not reality but the 12th door and the door god for this last door is Lan Zhu. That was all I remember but the user did provide explanations and timestamps for their theory and upon reading it, it did make sense too. Therefore, if I ever come across that video again, I will link it here.

In the meantime, let's wallow in the conclusion of The Spirealm. It was a quick and short ride but an extremely memorable one.

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5)

The blood of youth

Year : 2022 | Country : CN | Nb of episodes: 40

My rate: 9/10

Synopsis :

As a disciple of the Lei Clan, Lei Wu Jie can't wait to prove his worth as a hero, but as a novice who has only just entered the martial arts world, the path to becoming a true hero is difficult, at best. Undeterred by the challenges that lay before him, Wu Jie makes his way to the great city of Xue Yue, certain that his time there will mould him into the hero he so longs to be. Unfortunately, his trip to Xue Yue is waylaid by an unfortunate mishap at the Villa of Fallen Snow.

As proprietor of the Villa, Xiao Se has all the looks of a wealthy innkeeper, but he can barely afford to keep the inn open. Struggling with his business, Xiao Se is less than pleased when his establishment is damaged by the antics of a young, wannabe hero. Demanding that he make amends for the damage he caused, Wu Jie can think of only one way to appease the grumpy Xiao Se, and that is to take him with him. With no other options, the two set off together without any idea of what fate has in store for them.

Befriending several people along the way, including Wu Xin, Sikong Qian Luo, Tang Lian, and Ye Ruo Yi, Xiao Se and Wu Jie soon find themselves caught up in an adventure far greater than any of them could have imagined. While facing countless dangers, the group stumbles upon a trail of clues that tie one of them to a battle for the throne that took place over a decade ago. The question is, is the intrepid hero ready and willing to take his rightful place as the leader of the people? And where will the brotherhood go from there?

Main cast :

Li Hong Yi as Xiao Se/Xiao Chu He

Liu Xue Yi as Wu Xin/ Ye An Shi

Ao Rui Peng as Lei Wu Jie

Lin Bo Yang as Sikong Qian Luo

Flora Dai as Ye Ruo Yi

Li Xin Ze as Tang Lian

My thoughts on this drama :

Okay… this drama is AWESOME. I wasn't expecting much, due to it being Wuxia style and thus not "fantasy" enough for me. But man was I wrong. It's just so so good.

I loved every second of it. They're all bringing such vibrant characters to life, with the emotions just right. I trully enjoyed the variety of characters the show offered. I laughed and cried and raged and applauded! I trully lived the story from beginning to end.

A very very good point: romance is never the focus of the story. It's there, in the background, but it's first and foremost a story about brotherhood, friendship and bonds against adversity.

100% recommended!

Nirvana in Fire Rewatch Episode Two

Events:

Meng Zhi and Fei Liu get in a fight.

Xia Dong leaves to investigate the Duke Qing case.

Jinyang arrives home from the front and is bullied by his brothers.

The marriage tournament begins.

The princes court MCS, like he's a girl they're trying to impress.

MCS goes to see his great-grandmother.

MCS and Nihuang talk, before being interrupted by a eunuch beating Tingsheng.

Names and titles:

MZ’s title is Meng-da-tongling, or ‘Da-tongling’.

Jingrui refers to his brother as Xie Bi, no diminutive. His brother calls him da-ge.

Either great-grandmother calls everyone xiao-, or Jingrui was xiao-Rui as a child.

Characters:

Jingrui is not stupid about politics – he instantly understands why the Empress wants to see him (to get a look at MCS).

Meeting great-grandmother is the most emotion MCS has shown so far. They must have been close.

Time:

Nihuang’s father died when she was 17, ten years ago. That puts an age gap of up to five years in between Lin Shu and Nihuang.

Places:

Yunnan has 200k troops. They border Southern Chu and regularly fight them.

Misc:

There are 50k Imperial Guards under MZ’s command.

Xuan Bu from Da Yu is first on the Langya list of fighters.

What more could I ask for?

Morally shady monk named Wu Xin (no heart) who acts morally superior but drowns people to get info (OK in retrospect I totally see how the role of Bai Lin got him this role) played by the lovely, talented, intimidating Liu Xueyi

Practical ordinary man amongst sea of super strong wuxia fighters Xiao Se, former crown prince who was exiled and now in hiding, who has a dry wit and sharp intellect and keeps accidentally becoming part of bigger situations (played by Li Hongyi who 1 is good at this cold but fascinating role and 2 reminds me of Cheng Yi somewhat but in a good 2ay)

My man Luohuo Jidu IN A LEAD ROLE LOOKING FINE AF. I get why Rui likes him. I'm over the moon he'll be in a majority of episodes

A very fun unique cast like the wuxia I've liked most

A puppy of a guy Lei, who is super strong and very innocent protagonist energy but he's also handled by the plot in a somewhat realistic way as actually inexperienced, very sweet. This type of character works wonderfully in this particular show.

A plot that is unfolding and unknown yet but a lot of fun to follow along
