墨雨云间 · The Double · 2024

[pippin-pippout]

GOD I hate Shen Yurong. I mean the actor is doing incredibly - this is a really fucking hard role to play. But WANNING. Li Meng is killing this.

I honestly don't even think the show needed to show us her history in the flashbacks. The actress is already doing such a good job acting her history. And I'm dreading what's coming to her because she can't see it coming since she's so blinded by her desperation for Shen Yurong. And I think she'll die at that man's hands, which just feels tragic given what she's been through.

And although Shen Yurong is a monster of her own making, and while he is a victim and she is perpetuating the cycle of abuse, the fact of what he did to Xue Fangfei and what he is clearly getting ready to do to Wanning makes me believe he was always a hypocrite.

As a person, Wanning may have pushed him, but he did not have far to fall. What she did do, unfortunately, is teach him how to be conniving and get what he wants.

Shen Yurong was pressured into a difficult choice by Wanning, but he chose to be cowardly. Now he has the upper hand, and if he was only fighting for his freedom, I could root for him. But instead, he's fighting to climb higher and take back Xue Fangfei.

Wanning does deserve what's coming to her. She did abuse him and do countless terrible things.

Yet I pity her because of how well her actress is playing her – someone driven to the edge of madness, who has lost all perspective and sense of morality, who is grasping at the last thing that can make her feel human - love.

And Shen Yurong, I despise, because of how his actor is playing him - someone who never took responsibility, nor felt true guilt, for his own actions because he always felt he was wronged by fate and the world.

The Double: Ep 14

notes: Spoilers! but not really

The princess and Shen Yurong meet up in her bedroom after he gets strafed by an arrow at the banquet. The Princess expresses doubt that Shen Yurong's wife is actually dead so he attempts to placate her.

this goes exactly where you think it will.

(she must have read 50 Shades of Tantai Jin)

Forget defending her, at this point I want to be her!

9. Drama set that I want to visit

The Altay Steppes

Introduced from the wonderful, wonderful drama To the Wonder/My Altay, (which EVERYONE should watch and especially if you haven't seen much of the incredibly vast and varied geographical and cultural landscape of China), I am now in love with this place. The show captured the glimmering waters, the freshness and evergreen-ness of.....everything and I can only imagine how it must be like to experience it first hand. For now I'll have to be satisfied with the digital footage like professional travel vloggers here:

.

10. Most memorable scene

The wedding scene from Regeneration

The groom is dashing and the bride is delicate and that's the most beautiful bridal getup I've ever seen and the entire hall screams RICH and elegant and it looks like an absolute dream and,

Enter the context and you have a haunting prelude to the most miserable chain reaction of a story full of deception and despair. Now I look at this scene and all I see in those sombre blacks and whites is dreary funeral vibes.

.

11. Most Favorite Actor of 2024

Jiang Long

Saw him this year on A Soldier's Story and Link Click, and he was an absolute delight. He's like the most unassuming person in the room who turns out to be the most cheerful, genuine, heartfelt guy with the best comedic timing ever.

.

12, 13. Favorite Supporting Roles AND Actors of 2024

Yu Shi and Alima Mayutian (as Batay and Tokan from To the Wonder)

In a way you can argue Batay was the male lead of the show but also, To the Wonder didn't really fit the usual parameters of a romcom drama and if anything, the FL and her mom were the main leads.

The roles of brother-in-law and sister-in-law pair of Batay and Tokan followed close behind as the new generation Kazakh ethnic youth who are equal parts fond of their simple, slow life in the grassland but are also tied down by it.

Batay and his beloved horse Snowshoe and Tokan and the Washboard she never got were highlights of the show. And these two actors gave a MAGNIFICENT performance in these two roles.

.

14. Favorite Villains

Shen Yurong (Liang Yongqi) and Grand Princess Wanning (Li Meng) from The Double were a great example of toxic and problematic done right. From start to end they were both very fascinating, full-fledged characters, their backstories were sound even though that didn't excuse that they were truly horrible people. At some point I found out I even felt sympathy for them. The show didn't try to put them forth like the next hot thing ever, instead presenting them as they are and letting the audience make their judgement; hence resulting in them stealing the screen from the main couple without even trying lol. 👏👏👏

.

15. Favorite Couple of the Year

Ling Jiushi (Huang Junjie) and Ruan Lanzhu (Xia Zhiguang) from The Spirealm

I adored their chemistry full of playful banter, protectiveness and indulgence, but also just look at them!

I mean

(Watch the show, it's good. Even if it wasn't that good I'd still support it for being a BL that got shelved during the ban anw. BUT it's actually good too!)
