Okay, let's talk Ever Night. Specifically, Ever Night Season 3. And let's be honest, we're all watching it with those sweet, sweet English subtitles, right?
The premiere episode? Well, it's a mixed bag. Let's dive in with my totally, possibly controversial, opinions.
New Season, New Ning Que?
So, we've got a brand new face for our beloved Ning Que. It's like waking up one day and your favorite coffee tastes…different.
Look, the actor isn't bad. He's just…not Arthur Chen. And that's where my brain short-circuits a little.
Am I the only one who needed, like, a five-minute meditation session to adjust? Just me? Okay, moving on!
Sang Sang's Still Adorable, Though
Thank goodness for small mercies. Sang Sang is still Sang Sang. Still rocking the pale face and quiet wit.
She's the anchor, the constant. The one thing we can rely on in this sea of casting changes.
Seriously, protect Sang Sang at all costs! She deserves all the happiness the world can offer, even if that world includes a new Ning Que.
The Plot Thickens (and Thickens and Thickens…)
The plot, as always, is complex. We're talking layers upon layers of political intrigue, magical shenanigans, and ancient prophecies.
Sometimes, I feel like I need a flowchart to keep track of who's betraying whom and why. Anyone else?
But hey, that's part of the charm, right? It's never boring. Just…occasionally requires a rewatch (or three) with the aforementioned English subtitles.
A Note on Those Subtitles
Speaking of subtitles, shoutout to the unsung heroes who translate these epics. Seriously, you're doing the Lord's work!
Sometimes, the translations can be a little…creative. But hey, adds to the fun, doesn't it?
I've seen some real gems. "Your audacity offends my ancestors!" will forever be etched in my brain.
Unpopular Opinion Time: The Villain Is Still the Best Character
Okay, hear me out. I know we're supposed to root for Ning Que and Sang Sang. But the villain? The bad guy? He's got style!
Maybe it's the costumes. Maybe it's the dramatic monologues. Or maybe I just have a thing for characters who are unapologetically evil.
Don't judge me! We all have our weaknesses. Mine just happens to be morally questionable characters with questionable fashion choices.
Final Verdict? Watch It! (With Subtitles, of Course)
Despite my initial reservations about the new Ning Que, Ever Night Season 3 is still worth watching.
The world is still captivating, the magic is still dazzling, and the story is still…confusing. But in a good way!
So grab your popcorn, fire up your favorite streaming service, and get ready for another epic adventure. Just remember to keep those English subtitles handy!
And hey, if you're still missing Arthur Chen, we can start a support group. Meeting Tuesdays at my place. Bring tissues.
One last thing, anyone else think Sang Sang is secretly the most powerful character?
Just a hunch.
We will have to see! Let's all stay tuned and find out.
