Rants and Weekly Raves (RAWR) #466


Anne: Howdy Drama Lovers! Okay…I used to be going to put up a footage of the error message that I have been getting for the final THREE days that I used to be making an attempt to obtain the Minecraft launcher for my son. 

Why? As a result of he’s doing a Minecraft summer season camp, the place I am positive they do nothing however play Minecraft all day… However he wanted the Java model of the sport (apparently he cannot use the model on his pill), and he wanted this multiplayer mode activate. Perceive Microsoft is our company OS, I exploit this factor ALL day lengthy. And I understand how to go looking subjects on-line. I can discover virtually any info. I even mounted my caught freezer utilizing Google. I used to be pretty assured. However THREE days later, I used to be pulling my hair out, and I CANNOT work out why the launcher is not downloading, and I could not work out the best way to activate multiplayer mode.

Now… why did I say I “was” going to put up the error message? As a result of, at present, I known as my brother for assist. I swear the ONLY factor he did completely different was have me to allow my Xbox account to change his (since I created his account as a baby account), and no matter else occurred after that, I do not know. As a result of hastily, although the launcher nonetheless did not seem to have downloaded, it out of the blue appeared in my apps. Hm. WTF!?

Anyway…since one way or the other he mounted my difficulty over the cellphone, I’ve no error message to put up for demonstration.

Since my drawback has been resolved, let’s focus on a number of the exhibits I’ve watched the previous few weeks, beginning with my present obsession!

(Replace: I’ve been in coaching all day, and this must be one of many oddest statements I’ve heard in this stuff. We have been speaking about motivators for doing higher work, and cash, whereas vital, isn’t a motivator for work. It is a primary want that whether it is unmet to the person, it will possibly act as a demotivator. This again floor is vital as a result of the very subsequent factor our coach mentioned was, “If cash was the motivator, we name all go into prostitution and make much more cash.” I used to be considering…properly…not the boys…hehe.)


The Double 

I used to be nearly to start out posting final week, once I determined to verify this out. After which I completed all of the episodes in two days. I’ve been chasing this ever since.

The story is predicated on a guide entitled “Marriage of the Di Daughter”. Whereas the guide is a rebirth story the place the soul of the FL transmigrated into the eldest daughter of Jiang household, the drama simply skipped the transmigration portion. 

The drama begins with Xue Fang Fei, who wakes up with a wierd man in her mattress, being accused of adultery by her mom and sister-in-law. After just a few complicated scenes, she is then “killed” by her personal husband (Shen Yu Rong), and buried in the midst of the forest. She fights her approach of out of her grave and is saved by Jiang Li (who was forged out right into a “ladies’s correction facility” when her step mom units her younger self as a “assassin” who tried to kill the step mother and her unborn brother). With the intention to assist Xue Fang Fei, Jiang Li will get caught breaking the principles of the “facility” and is crushed fairly badly. By the point Xue Fang Fei finds Jiang Li, the youthful woman dies as a result of her accidents and Xue Fang Fei vows to get revenge for Jiang Li and herself. Xue Fang Fei discovers that her downfall led to her brother being killed by bandits and her father accused of embezzling of presidency funds.  

As she schemes her approach again into the Jiang household, she runs into Xiao Heng (Duke Su), an man, based on the writer of the guide, with a character dysfunction who did not look after anybody till he met the FL. 

The drama captured his gown colours and his fan, which is his main weapon of alternative. Within the drama, Xiao Heng is a person who helps the emperor from his scheming uncle and aunt. (Within the guide, Xiao Heng truly helps the emperor’s enemies in a bid to make the emperor sees himself as probably the most trusted topic. Sure. Xiao Heng within the guide is has a deeper psychological dysfunction.) Xiao Heng is a person who loves lovely issues, raises unique flowers, and loves to observe performs. (This “play” watching is a operating theme, explaining how he’s the all the time the one who units the stage however by no means participates within the play.) This quirk isn’t as pronounced when portrayed on display. On both facet of this man are his two “helpers”.

They’re form of like Xiao Heng’s comedian reduction, when the Duke will get just a little too into himself. These two characters did not actually exist (as they’re portrayed) within the guide, and I actually do get pleasure from their addition to the over tone of this present.

It turns into clear actually fast that Fang Fei’s husband and his household did all this as a result of the First Princess (the Emperor’s Aunt) fell in love with Shen Yu Rong and wished to do away with his spouse. (As a result of clearly a princess can not marry somebody who already has a spouse.) Even after 21 episodes, I can not inform if Shen Yu Rong is actually conflicted about what he needed to do, or is he simply appearing as a result of he has no alternative with the specter of the royal household. (He is not on display quite a bit, so it’s laborious to inform.) Sure, the First Princes is loopy imply, however she can be loopy for Shen Yu Rong. (Within the guide, it’s clear that Shen Yu Rong is an influence hungry man who is ready to act “righteous” to idiot the general public.) Both approach, these two make one GREAT pair of arch-enemies of the principle CP. And they’re fairly as well!

Now, as a result of this is not a rebirth story, Jiang Li nonetheless “seems to be” like Fang Fei, so the drama does a great job in explaining how everybody who knew Fang Fei would nonetheless go alongside and act like she is Jiang Li. Jiang Li was in a position to increase her standing in her household after she compelled her father’s hand to convey her again house. She outsmarted her step mom who is consistently attempting to do away with her, and her youthful sisters who’re serving to her step mom. It would not clarify it within the drama, that Jiang Li is the Second Jiang Miss, the reason of who’s the “First” wasn’t actually flushed out. (Within the guide, the First Jiang Miss was a baby of a bedchamber maid of her father’s earlier than he married Jiang Li’s mother. As a result of Jiang Li’s mother was a great individual, she elevated the bedchamber maid to a concubine when she gave start to a daughter. This First Jiang Miss was killed by the step mom, who’s the present primary spouse of the Jiang household, when she was younger. It’s clear that Jiang Li’s step mom is eliminating all her husband’s “different” youngsters.)

By now, 21 episodes have aired, and Jiang Li’s actual id might be not as properly hidden as earlier than. Even Xiao Heng at this level is aware of that she is Xue Fang Fei. I actually love this plot like, and let’s examine if they’ll preserve the identical tone till the top. (The one bizarre factor was the visualization of the “tune” being performed throughout the contest in school. That was a bit over-the-top, and undecided why it was wanted.)

There are a variety of variations between this drama and the novel, which supplies each their very own distinctive tone of voice. (And I like them each!) One of many primary variations is by this level within the plot, within the novel, there’s actually no actual “romance” between the principle CP, partly as a result of the FL is barely 15-16 years previous, and our ML (although he is solely at a ripe age of 20) sees her as a younger woman. The ML is consistently shocked at her outlook, schemes, and understanding of the world round her, regardless of being a really sheltered woman, so far as everybody is aware of. Until one thing else distract me…I will be chasing this intently till the top.


My Spouse’s Double Life

This was truly the drama I began earlier than the one above, however as soon as I began watching the opposite one, I did not sustain as rapidly. I might have sworn this drama was named one thing else. This drama is about Liu Rong, who works as a thief (form of like within the Robin Hood fashion) for her benefactor, who saved her when she was little. From the very starting, we all know that Liu Rong saved Xu Mu Chen and he’s indebted to her since that point. And since he “noticed” the preserve sake he gave to the little woman who saved him on the “thief”, he finally ends up each attempting to assist her and catch her on the identical time.

Because of a royal decreed marriage, Liu Rong, beneath Lord Su’s order, takes his daughter’s id and marries Xu Mu Chen. Liu Rong is ordered to discover a sure token that’s hidden someplace on her husband’s property.

Whereas the plot is pretty participating, the chemistry of the principle CP is inferior to the present talked about above. This can be a good drama to control in between new episodes of the opposite one.


The Participant 2: Grasp of Swindlers

I spend a variety of time, watching season 1, which I actually favored. The crew jogs my memory of the Leverage. Kang Ha Ri is the con man, Im Byung Min is the IT/hacker man. Do Jin Woong is the muscle. And the woman as the driving force. In season 1, they labored with the police to go after those that escaped justice. Season 1 had a objective, the plot surrounded Ha Ri’s father’s dying and the plot behind it.

Season 2 began very unfocused, and there would not appear to be a objective. I have never made it previous the first episode but, however as a result of I just like the crew, I’ll proceed.


That is all everybody. Hope everybody has an amazing week! 

(BTW…Bridgerton second half is ALMOST right here!!!)
