The innuendo came out better in the original Mandarin Chinese dialogue, somehow I feel that the English language just doesn't have quite the same nuance.

I ship this already! OG Enaqi princess and the bandit leader PLEASE PLEASE

She lies she is the girlfriend of fearsome bandit leader Ruo Wen. Too bad he's Ruo Wen but points for effort!

OMG HELLO INNUENDO YES SHOW HOW BIG AND STRONG AND HARD YOUR SWORD IS

This is hilarious!

This man is a smirk in human form and I love him.

Also the pain in Ruo Wen's gaze when he catches Ge Xinwei teary-eyed. And how he was still dwelling on it in the aftermath and seriously reminds her to not pretend to be strong if she needs help in the future.

(Also love how Ruo Wen's expression darkens when Ge Xinwei complained about how the brothel owner maltreated her and tried to prostitute her. The man internally snapped lol.)

HE DEFINITELY LOVES HER!

She's part of the scheme to steal the keys from schmuck #3 and when things get out of hand, he storms in, all knight in shining armor, and beats the shit out of the dude!

"Were you scared?" "Who's scared?" "Trying to be strong?"

Character Design Elements I can find.

The reason why i'm putting this here is cause idk chinese but hopefully those who do know will idk💐😔🫶 AND I'M TOO NERVOUS TO INTERACT WITH ANYONE OK😰

- Mu Lingchen

高松出众木，伴我向天涯。作为女主线的重要角色，胸有成竹，步步为营的三公子府主人慕凌辰是个沉稳且颇具城府的人。在设计他的角色形象的过程中，采用了青松为主要元素，碧霄鹰眸如澈，藏万千筹谋。青衫怀玉着身，成翩然君子。风雷瑛冠显威严，黑白弈棋论权谋。粉墨挥毫之间，一个深藏若虚的执棋者形象跃然于纸上。

- Xiao Lianyi

手捻菩提似念经，目中无物两耳空。相较于喜怒不形于色的慕凌辰，三公子府的女主人萧莲意则是行事利落的恭俭之人。凤带金饰，翠珠玉钗，金银交缀下赤玉宝带加身，云山重翠的锦袍，珠光宝气尽显尊荣。手握念心佛珠，慈悲入怀。鸾凤与佛法的设计元素熏陶下，慈眉善目的主母威仪浑然自成。

- Jiusi

光风怀抱玉精神，不染世间尘。九思作为男主线主人公善良赤诚的小跟班，设计之中无不显出阳光与活力。臻白绒球吟斋锦囊，山阴皓雪锋锐宝剑，青竹为衬浮于窗框，一身劲袍干净利落，束发尽显少年意气。游戏以青涩翠竹为设计灵感，塑造出一个坚定执着，真心守护重要之人的热血年轻侍从。

- Jingxue

腻颈凝酥白，轻衫淡粉红。她是君上的掌上明珠，是时刻为大家着想的乖巧闺秀。她是靖雪，是个知礼有才不失可爱的温婉女子。指尖的青鸟振翅欲飞，长衫缀着银杏叶片的纹样，娴静之中不失活泼可爱。金饰打造的双边佩环，眉间的一抹朱红，鲜艳动人的口脂，以银杏融入设计，怀春少女的娇俏可人尽在不言中。

Also the fact that Ruo Wen could have left Ge Xinwei for dead but chose to come back and get her (of course, in the first place the reason she nearly got sacrificed was because of him)

We got the scene from the credits, and it's as glorious as promised.

Him boozing it up as she, thrown over his shoulder, is offing people with his sword?

AND YOU SAID ROMANCE IS DEAD

And then he walks off with her over one shoulder, them having killed a small army.

Drama Gossip: 19th Floor (19层)

Source: Google Images

Unconscious after a car accident, university student Chun Yu and her best friend Qing You mysteriously find themselves inside the dangerous world of a VR game. Several other people have also unwittingly ended up here, and they soon discover they were all involved in the accident - except for substitute teacher Gao Xuan, who claims to have simply fallen asleep. Seeing no other option than to play the game, they eventually beat the level and wake up … only to immediately return the next night.

Faced with deadly monsters, puzzles, and mind games, the players have to learn to cooperate despite being unsure if they can trust each other. The pressure increases when it turns out that people who die in the game fall into a coma in real life. And then several more students are dragged into the game! The group spends their nights trying to survive the next level and their days investigating who is doing this to them and why. As they grow closer, friendships and budding romances are repeatedly put to the test by the stress of the situation and the evil machinations of the people behind the game…

Actually Interesting

This drama was all over my Douyin FYP when it was showing. Imagine seeing people in modern-day clothes, in a slightly olden-day setting running from what seemed like zombies. Tell me that wouldn't pique your interest. Okay, maybe it wouldn't but it piqued mine. However, apart from that snippet, I went into this drama not knowing anything. Hell, I didn't even know who were the actors.

Anyhow. The premise of 19th Floor is not a new concept. It's the classic 'real life people entering a game with high stakes' plot. What was new was that them entering the game was not obvious initially. The how they entered was a mystery until quite a few episodes in too. Additionally, the games were different. Each time they entered it, the game, the rules and even the stakes were different.

Initially, this was an extremely fascinating drama. I was hooked and went through episodes like I had no other responsibilities. However, as the cast went on and began discovering the secrets and motives, the drama honestly, got predictable. In my opinion, 19th Floor could have had a darker tone to it. Keep the storyline but make things darker, bring in the 'unreliable narrator' trope, make the high stakes actually high stakes as in, more deaths or consequences that cannot be undone. You see, the beginning of this drama was action-filled but the end, not so much.

Don't get me wrong, 19th Floor is still interesting but it could have been way more interesting, considering the actual story from where this drama was adapted from? Yeah, 19th Floor could have done more.

Rating: ★★★☆☆
