The TV drama incorporates many intriguing anecdotes and phenomena from all walks of life, which makes the overall content more captivating. For instance, the actor playing Guan Gong must "break the face," as not doing so would bring disaster to the performer.
Additionally, elements such as paper dolls summoning spirits, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, and various types of spells are interwoven into the cases, adding a slightly eerie and irresistible urge to delve into their origins and details!
Sun Dashuai suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning in the basement. In order to save him, he must first be moved away from the high concentration of carbon monoxide and then receive medical treatment. This TV drama should also have scientific accuracy and not mislead the audience!
It's important to let the viewers enjoy the entertainment while also enhancing their knowledge, first aid skills, and general knowledge. This is the positive role that media should play!
As his reputation reached its peak, this senior martial brother no longer valued this junior martial sister. And with that Yuan Yuan whispering in his ear, he became even more repulsed by his junior martial sister. Just think about it, one is a charming and sweet-talking woman who knows how to be coquettish, while the other is always wielding swords and guns, dressed like a martial arts expert.
If you were that senior martial brother, whom would you choose? And that Yuan Yuan deserves to suffer for humiliating someone like that. If I were Sun Yuan Ying, I would get rid of both of them together. As for that Thunderbolt Martial Arts School, just wait for it to go bankrupt!
Without your junior martial sister supporting you, who would learn martial arts from you?
This old lady is just a bad person. Why didn't her husband react the same way when their child went missing? If she had just taken someone else's child or an unwanted child and raised them as her own, that would be somewhat acceptable.
But why should someone unwilling to do so be killed? So, it's like her own child is precious, but other people's children are not? It's not like they intentionally abandoned their child.
And in the end, she even got forcefully whitewashed. What a terrible person! She even poisoned the child she raised.
Is it necessary to kidnap someone else's child just because you lost your own? This despicable person, at least before dying, got to know what their own child looked like. But what about the parents of the child they harmed?
Aren't they even more pitiful? Because of this melodramatic plot twist, I can only give this drama a very low rating. ????
No matter what the reasons are, they should never be an excuse to harm others.
This melodramatic storyline really makes me feel nauseous.
The process of deducing the serial kidnapping case involving children was brilliant, and the final lines really struck a chord with me. Life is always filled with various misfortunes and uncertainties, but truly strong individuals can still live optimistically even after realizing the truth about life.
We must continue to strive and prevent such things from happening to others. Yes, that's how life is!
