One Inch of Yearning (2020)

Draggy wuxia drama plus cold female lead

I had high hopes for this when I decided to watch it ,, I thought it was really good story melodramatic wuxia drama
I saw some clips here and there and I love the male lead so I was really hoping it's good
The OST (Sound tracks) and the graphics are really good also the actors are amazing except for the female lead
but I was surprised of How slow and draggy it is ,, I thought may be at the beginning only but it went for ages ,,,, Yes some fast wuxia fights and they were good too but the story was lacking alot
The romance scenes were soo long ,, people taking dramatic pauses a lot ,,, thinking ,,, talking ,,,, crying whatever they took along time playing that
The male lead insert himself in the female lead's life for no reason other than he's still hang up on her since childhood so Cliche'
also the female lead didn't care much about him most of the drama ,, she was mostly acting out and treating him badly
that wasn't a good romantic story at all
The other Romantic stories were much better than the main one
The male lead put himself through so much pain and suffering for a cold female lead who doesn't appreciate anything he did for her to the last few episode she was that heartless ,, I'm not saying he didn't do anything wrong either
he was obsessed with her and she was obsessed with her master
I didn't feel any love from the female lead even when she's trying to love him ,,, Bad acting maybe or the writing
I didn't like the last part of the drama either ,,, it was A mess
why did they kill Chang ge ??? for no reason at all they just killed him and his lover ,,, he wasn't supposed to die ,, his friends were going to rescue him but somehow his girlfriend thought of a ridiculous death for them both
Overall this drama is really disappointing
other than some good whump scenes and some good wuxia fights with good music ,, it's really doesn't worth your time

Lost in speedy translation.....

I like wuxia dramas but this is about the most confusing & frustrating drama ever! To start the main actors are not familiar, they look like kids! There's no love chemistry between the main leads (maybe later). Why does the FL always look angry? Other then saving the ML several times, at what point did they fall in love and became a couple or was it one-sided? Then there's the annoying array of clans, sects, towns, demons, pavilions, martial art forms, three word names and connected relationships! I gave it a try and abandoned viewage mid-11th episode! The subtitles didn't help but added more frustration when it disappeared quickly before you can finish reading it!!!

can't stop myself to compare

lets keep it as momento before drop it in eps 10 ?
Honestly this drama have so much good thing i was so appreciate the cinematography, beautiful lighting, acting and good premise

credit to sun yun luo' actress..wow her acting during disguise as ma in few first few episode very convincing! It not like usual cross-dressing in drama when you wear man's clothing and voilaaa you becoming like A man.

But unfortunately still have drop it, maybe mostly caused the plot not my cup of tea, and bcoz so many tell it similar with Nirvana In Fire so I can't stop myself to compare it. Well it have some similarity, combination btween court-jianghu, main lead and second lead character little bring back character from NIF but still the slyness level still part away

The ML is the most pathetic, selfish assh*l*ish character I've had the displeasure of watching and the FL was so nondescript and completely overshadowed by the rest of the ensemble cast. As in, her presence was unneeded cos the ML basically took over her life and decided only he knew what was in her best interest. And why did he do this you ask? Because he fell into a one-sided love and was determined to keep the FL by his side regardless of her thoughts or feelings to the contrary.

This "love" story is interwoven with pugilistic and palace affairs. Yet despite having these two surefire elements for an enjoyable wuxia, the script veered off point too many times that the essence of the plot became warped and inconsistent.
