#watching this series just made me miss strange tales of tang dynasty

[ellsieee]

I started White Cat Legend with low expectations and unfortunately it did not exceed those expectations in the end. I did finish it though, so it wasn't that bad, just nothing to write home about.

If there's one thing that guzhuang dramas do well, it's usually the angsty childhood friends turned enemies because of some misunderstanding trope. I will give props to the Li Bing/Qiu Qingzhi plot line. It was angsty, touching, and kept me guessing. I just wish it got more screentime.

Ouch. I felt for Li Bing here. He's too far away to see Qiu Qingzhi's face, otherwise he would know QQZ was shook up. 😢

When LB addressed QQZ as General Qiu, that was cold. QQZ was about to cry knowing LB was misunderstanding him so badly. You could see the pain in his face. He wanted to explain everything, but he knew he couldn't in order to protect LB.

Even after LB told him they aren't friends, QQZ didn't hesitate to save LB because QQZ still cherishes their friendship. I was a a bit pissed we didn't get to see LB visit QQZ while he was recovering. The man saved his life! It's the least he could do. 😑

Nooo! Poor QQZ. They just had to go the tragic route with this trope didn't they?

QQZ is about to die and all he wants to know is if they're still besties. 😭😭😭 QQZ was always looking out for LB. 😭 I would have translated this as "Of course. Of course we are." I think sure sounds a bit flippant for the situation. 😅

The fucking montage of their happy times together. 😭 They just have to break out hearts.

LB missing QQZ hours. This series is a comedy for the most part, but damn they really hurt me with the LB/QQZ story line.
