Whispers of Fate: Ep 5
The Sword King (Yu) seems to be involved. To investigate further, it only makes sense to look into the Sword King's city.
But first, TLC decides that the team needs to recruit someone with strong martial arts and stealth skillset...someone ELSE. They end up at 13 Tower. What? Again?! But when the guy said there was only ONE way out, he didn't know there was a VIP entrance. Anyway, CY was almost lured into a trap that looks and sounds like his fiancé. They meet the boss of 13 Tower, and try to bargain for SLH (the rice hat/coin sword guy). TLC wants to borrow SLH for a year. Boss says he wants TLC in exchange, but TLC laughs and says he is worth more, requesting that Boss split the difference. Boss is intrigued by TLC and wants to get into his head, know all the secrets, etc, as demons usually do. 4 years ago, someone slit TLC and shoved him into a well, left to perish. "How did you survive?" But TLC is like, "So?" (Come on, this is the martial world. People fight. Things happen.)
At some point, and I don't know if people were fighting too closely and not respecting personal space or what, but Boss was like "Aha! You had suffered a wound in your abdomen! Did [XX] have anything to do with it?! You used the Rebirth Tome! Why the Rebirth Tome didn't work?" Like, woah woah woah. Seriously, man. Mind your own business... ::Wardrobe, TLC needs more clothing. Why are there no buttons on his cape?:: We see TLC's powerful bracelet. "Fine. You can borrow SLH, but whether he will obey you is a different story. His rules."
Meanwhile, we find out that Sword King was the one that gave Bubble Boy's uncle the pills. CY's fiancé (Miss B) seems to be serving the Sword King on the surface, but reports to FengLiuDian aka FengLiu Shop. Like, to the Sword King's minions, she might be in a relationship with him. But based on her reaction, both she and the Sword King know that she reports to the FengLiu Shop.
Whispers of Fate: Ep 4
Some crazy self-chiropractic moves, mystical multiple personality possessions, and some ribbon fighting. You know those bubble packaging wrap? Pop, pop, pop! It feels wrong, but at the same, also satisfying? Ermmm...yeaaahhhh.
Ah Shui. Are they going to end up together? I'm not really feeling it from TLC, at least not this moment. I think he doesn't understand why she's not afraid nor questions him. Instead, she simply accepts him for the person, the monster, whatever he is, as he is. That's just ... weird. Except, TLC would not say "weird". He would say "It's illogical."
Meanwhile, what?! No! Who! "Who?" "Who." "Ah! Who!" "Uhhhh, who?" Mut sui ah?
Whispers of Fate: Ep 3
I thought it could be easy to get caught up in some of this episode's dialogues, so some recap:
Tang Lici (TLC) and FCX are having a buddy-buddy time, drinking and chatting to wine, invoking a bit of jealous from Chi Yun (I call him The Flash/Light technique guy). We find out that Chi Yun (CY) is actually TLC's servant (slave), not a friend, and that TLC has an ownership contract on CY, much to CY's embarrassment.
Next thing you know, TLC kicks FCX off the boat, showing some untraditional hospitality. It turns out that TLC did this on purpose to throw off his enemy's plans, while TLC and CY investigate separately. TLC asks [the bride that he had saved] who she thinks is telling the truth (between FCX and the bubble guy). She replies that it doesn't make sense for a dying person to lie, so bubble guy is telling the truth. At the same time, spending a significant amount of time together will reveal a person's true intentions. With such a long friendship, FCX could not be lying. He is also telling the truth.
Therefore, TLC deduces that the real cause must be from misunderstanding. Bubble guy must have been poisoned (hexed) before meeting FCX. While trying to find a cure for his bestie, FCX was trying to keep him alive the only way he knew possible - by continuing to feed him the poison. Unfortunately, bubble guy happened to stumble in one day, and mistakenly concluded that FCX was poisoning him all along.
Meanwhile, we find out how CY became TLC's servant. CY had a fiancé, betrothed to him in gratitude. Her whole mansion was later suddenly wiped out, but her body was never found. CY went to the 13 Floor, in hopes of trading for news of his fiancé. However, he was scammed into servitude (slavery) instead. TLC happened to wander by, and with his usual foxy cunning slyness, whipped out an ownership contract of his own for CY, claiming precedence. Between working for some shady organization and TLC, CY easily, but begrudgingly, chooses TLC. This is how CY hilariously sold himself to TLC and became his servant (slave).
The uncle wants FCX dead.
Whispers of Fate: Ep 2
Wowwwwwww, I guess this why he doesn't get a song. He's a baddie! lol (But no worries, Alen will have a concert in mid Nov!!)
Our geges are literally fighting?! But I guess this is the part about the "tune in the forest" and was in fact a "'dying' tune". But the pop or burst caught me by surprise.
Those were some beefy 'pigeons'. Who are Alen's two underlings? Are they dressed up in wedding attire or just traditional demon red? If wedding attire, are they not a couple either? Why is she all demon seductive with Alen's character?! ::gasp:: Does he have a thing for brides?! More questions...but also kinda feel like the wrong questions....:(
Like, where's the baby? Why the baby? What's the beef?
Whispers of Fate: Ep 1
Impressions?
Tang Lici's life? It's complicated. I bet he'd say, "I can explain... Maybe?"
Whispers of Fate
Are we ready? Get set, let's gooooooo!! hahah
Been pre-occupied like everyone else, but I've been trying to stay updated! hahah. The costumes and visuals are absolutely breath-taking. So many layers and dangly hair pieces, but the spins and rope work are so tight. Can't wait.
How are the OSTs? Any favorites so far? When I first heard the preview clips, I liked the sound of 2 of the songs, but felt TTEOTM had more variety. But I've listened to TTEOTM a lot leading up to this, so I'm ready for these arrivals! The full versions are growing on me! I feel like when I start watching the show, THEN I will truly be immersed. But where is Alen Fang's song?! ::a little sad::
When you see 从此以后, do you think of Jacky Cheung's song? "The story is plain, but in it, there is you. It is eeeenough." No, just me? Ok. Fine.
Speaking of which, and this has been a while, but didn't people say that there were very little (or no) romance? Then didn't I see TLC almost have a Lost You Forever underwater moment?! Maybe it's late and I'm just confused. I have so many questions. haha
