The Karmic Cycle in Romance in the Rain

In Romance in the Rain, there's the lesson of "what goes around, comes around" which can be seen by these...

Lu Yiping

Yup she is part of the karmic cycle. When she vows revenge on her father and her father's latest wife Xueqin, everything goes for the worse like when she started dating Shuhuan for revenge. That of course causes a serious conflict. In the original novel, she and Shuhuan are never reconciled teaching a hard lesson revenge does more harm than good.


Lu Zhenhua

I would think that this guy really deserved a lot of what was coming to him. Having the tragedy of Pingping was no excuse to start picking up women and divorcing them like they were stamps. So pretty much by the time he was a high ranking general, he had seven ex-wives then he picks up Fu Wenpei as his eighth wife after multiple divorces. Then he picks up Xueqin as the ninth wife and had some bigamy for some time. In his case, the karma hit him when it turned out to be that for ten years, the latest wife had an affair with another man named Wei Guangxiong. Yup, it stings doesn't it when who he thought was his youngest son namely Erjie was actually, another man's child. Wow that a stinging revelation!


Wang Xueqin

The power hungry wife who really was a pain in the ass. I was thinking she was only 18 when she became the general's ninth wife after he had a series of dysfunctional former marriages. She really knew how to manipulate stuff such as the reason why Fu Wenpei left the household and became the eighth ex-wife. True she had three children by Lu Zhenhua but she also later had an affair with Wei Guangxiong even if Lu Zhenhua had already ceased collecting and divorcing women. Hmmm... karma hits Lu Zhenhua and then it hits her. Her bad attitude towards Yiping and Wenpei was something. The fact that she slept with Wei Guangxiong and lied to Lu Zhenhua was something. Also she had an affair with Wei Guangxiong and karma hit her when her lover also had a lover namely Anna. What a sting. I thought also her status living with her boyfriend Wei Guangxiong really made her miserable. So yeah, her bad actions caused her much suffering when she genuinely misses her three children Ruping, Mengping and Erhao. In the end, she was also arrested though she voluntarily gave in. In the 1986 version, Ruping's suicide was a major sting at her and worse, Guangxiong just never cared about her feelings.


Wei Guangxiong

Well you can make easy money with dirty jobs but you don't last long. Or even if you do, karma always comes. Just my thought on the whole affair of Xueqin to Guangxiong was obviously another. In the end, Guangxiong got arrested by the cops and was betrayed even by the triads. Another karma Guangxiong had when his own son Erjie would not recognize him at all as his real father.

"Light The Night's" Finale (Spoilers Ahead)

  SpikyTV I guess the series just kept us guessing, right? I finally got the chance to finish it after some busy nights. I was right that the killer was HANA (Esther Liu) BUT there's a twist - it was more of voluntary manslaughter than murder. Manslaughter is when one kills out of the heat of passion and that's what Hana did twice in the story. Hana had one against a client who used her and another against Sue after some unfortunate insanity attack. Hana ends up planning to hand herself over but her lover commits murder (towards a character named Chiang An) to protect her.  The whole psychological thriller for me just didn't match up to what I wanted. I guess I was too used to how Victim's Game rolled out. I was expecting some real murder scheme. Instead, it was the anti-climatic manslaughter where Hana decides to hand herself to the authorities after what she did. I really still think that the finale wasn't worth too much of the wait. I was expecting something gran

I Just Finished "My Golden Life"

I finally finished My Golden Life which I was hesitant to watch. 52 one-hour long episodes? I was thinking it was easier to watch the Wuxia series that had 40+ minutes per episode such as Princess Weiyang which was quite long. A lot of episodes of My Golden Life would have a few minutes more depending on the coverage of the episode. So, I'm done and I never thought I'd actually finish it since I'm way too used to short K-Dramas. This one was rather long but it was rather entertaining in many ways. I was thinking about how Shin Hye Sun actually did well with on-screen partner Park Si Hoo. Sometimes, I'd like to joke about how they had a chemistry that looked good and felt good. Looked good? Both aren't attractive and I often joke how Hye Sun's face feels melted or how she was rightfully matched with Lee Jong Suk in Hymn of Death . Hye Sun isn't pretty but she really makes up with her good acting and likability. The same goes for Si Hoo with how he acts out hi

Just Finished "My Glamorous Imperial Concubine" (Some Spoilers)

  This is another Wuxia series finished. I was having some expectations broken. The show can be full of spoilers when discussed even further. In fact, some characters are walking spoilers. If you're not ready to be spoiled - DON'T READ. If not, you can read further. I feel the show had some plot twists and turns. Besides, maybe some of the villains in this show weren't as evil as you think.  Emperor Liancheng is an antagonist but dies before the show can end. Liancheng may have some idiotic obsession with Ma Fuya. It becomes even worse when Liancheng's younger sister Liansi and his younger brother Lianxi get involved. Liansi develops a crush on Meng Qiyou and even gets pregnant in the process. It seems that Ma Fuya was pregnant with Liancheng's baby but ends up in Qiyou's household after Liancheng dies. Liancheng dies doing a selfless act to save Ma Fuya. The obsessive empress Ma Xiangyun commits suicide to kill Emperor Liancheng. Emperor Liancheng's quite a
