Desperate Love (2013)

wow. what a very very heartrending show. :( I really wanted to knock some sense into Jing Xuan OFTEN. He really was kind of an idiot and that made it hard to watch at times BUT I still liked the show for some weird reason. *shrugs*
I wouldn't watch this if you want a show with a HEA or even any amount of "happy vibes" throughout the show. To be truthful, the whole things was painful to watch with very few "silver lining/happy" moments sprinkled throughout. I don't mind a tragic ending, but I prefer a little few bright spots here and there throughout the darkness in a long show.
Still, I couldn't seem to look away. I must enjoy torturing myself(?) lol

For starters I hope that my review helps and doesn't spoil anything all that I will be saying is my point of view thanks for reading, I gave only an 8 to the actual story because for some reason personal reason I didn't really like the way things ended in a way, there was love from beginning to end this story made me think of real life love not everything has to end with a happy ending kinda thing like the other reviews it's kinda like scarlet heart and the other stories there's a little of everything including wars the story is easy to understand, I loved everything about it except the ending it's not that it wasn't a good ending don't get me wrong but if you're the type of person who fantasises with a happy ending with the couple together ext...... this probably will be not so good to watch for you. If you like to cry in a drama this is the story for you I cried many times and I'm usually not that much of a crybaby watching a drama since I avoided dramas who make me cry I'm a happy person, :) this just shows how good the show cause when I started watching I couldn't stop watching it even with the happy and sad moments, In this story you'll end up loving all the actors even the antagonists because there such good actor they make everything looks so real in my opinion of course, from the good people you'll end up loving the grandmother who supports the protagonist until the end it's hard to see in a drama that the grand queen dowager is a good person with a heart amd someone who's not always trying to fight for the kings throne something like that the king is amazing the prince protagonist OMG I don't have any words spectacular the MUSIC IN THIS DRAMA IS great because it matches to the story especially since I was a bit prejudice towards C-dramas always thinking they were always boring this story didn't give me that

Rewatchable value : I gave it a 9 for the simple reason that yes I would watch it sometime later not so soon just thinking about it makes me cry of the way things ended even though I know it had to end like that to be memorable in our minds, I recomend this story a lot give it chance watch it and prepare toilet paper or towel for the tears that out of nowhere you'll experience without even noticing even if you think I may have spoiled something when you watch the story you won't feel spoiled because everyone has a different opinion you'll get emerged in the story you'll feel like you're there with them experiencing love and pain and dispare and all the above with the actors.

Hard to write a review of this one without spoilers but I will try. The story is one about love -- love between man and woman; love between children and parents;love between siblings and extended love from friends. The writer is very effective in outlining the trials of love when there is conflict; love when power is a variable; and love when you are desperate and unwavering in your actions and thoughts. The drama was addictive for me resulting in another marathon event. Each episode makes you want to dissect the minds of these characters -- I found myself talking to the television screen -- my frustrations, disgust and admiration. 41 episodes were all filled with events that pushed the drama forward -- as opposed to mindless fillers. If you are a romantic -- definitely watch. There is enough action scenes and fighting scenes to get your other half to watch if not inclined for just a romantic drama. Bring your tissues.

I really love this drama! At first, I thought that it would disappoint me but I gave it a shot because of Mickey He. And he never failed me. All the characters acted soo well to the point that I hated the villains.. It made me laugh, smile, and made me cry a lot. I was really touched with Mei Li's kind heart, love, and being strong.. I love the strong character of Wang Ye and hats off to him. He fights really well. He look dashing everything he is showing his fighting skills. I I love Ancestor (Queen Dowager). I love how she protected Mei Li and her love for her and Yun Ke. I love this drama! I strongly recommend this to everyone!
