Why is it so terribly made? It's giving short drama vibes, and Murong Qing Yi feels super cringey. I hope it gets better cuz who fucks up like this with Wang Churan and Zhang Linghe? 😭
It can be, but it would have become cliché, but intriguing at the same time! You can see this troupe in the historical…
I really love Sejeong and Taeoh, but I hate the gender soul swap trope so bad 😭 Spoil it for me and tell me if it doesn't go on for way too long in the series. 😭😭😭
The wasted potential is insane. Ju Jingyi and Song Weilong look way too gorgeous with each other to be given bare minimum romance scenes to. The first half of the drama wasn't so bad, and I had great expectations from the angst buildup, but it's been prolonged and not even in the good way. 😭
Honestly, the backstory between Shen Xihe (Qingzhi) and Prince Xin is a great idea for a second chance romance. Hope somebody steals it for another drama lol.
i don't think 7.7 is a bad rating tbh. filing for love is my favorite drama this year and i gave it 8/10, and…
I agree with you on the movie bit because I’d tune in for a movie with a 3.5+ on Letterboxd without thinking twice. But, unfortunately, it is true that most dramas that turn out to be lackluster do get rated around 7.5 on here, because a vast majority of members here rate 6 and above on most dramas.

Well, you might generally rate dramas lower than usual, but this show already has negative reviews, so it's quite obvious why it started with a 7.7, I've seen trashier dramas get rated higher even with mediocre premieres. My comment was just to state that people should give it a go if healing dramas are their thing, because for a lot of people, a rating below 7.8 is a turn-off.
People are so weird about real-life age gaps in the cast every time the main actress is older than the main actor. There have been multiple dramas where the ML is significantly older than the FL, and nobody gaf. Not to mention that actresses like Tian Xiwei and Tan Songyun look so much younger than their co-stars who are around the same age, and I don’t see anybody complaining about how old those men look. Give it a rest to these absurd double standards.
Four episodes out, and the drama is pretty entertaining. The female lead goes from a dumbass to pretty fucking cunning right after regressing, but she isn't always winning easy, and that makes it more thrilling to watch cuz you don't know when she'll nail it, or when she's gonna get her ass whooped. The romance trope is personally good to me because the ML is her father's subordinate, and the black sheep/unfavored child of his family who still hasn't made it (It's not so interesting if the ML is already respected, and powerful from the start of the drama even if he had a difficult childhood, it becomes so cliché), and this is also an "I will die protecting her" trope right off the bat, and seems like it will get super angsty (Cmiiw cuz I haven't read the novel) down the line. The chemistry is good too.
For anybody who hasn't started this yet, there isn't any particular reason for it to be rated this low so far (just two episodes out), so feel free to give it a go.
It's in a village setting (no particular thrill, formidable villains, or anything yet), and the male lead is a realistic depiction of an average man (minus all the red flags real men have) rather than a typical "perfect" male lead who's always one step ahead in the game. The female lead is similar to most K-drama female leads (not necessarily a bad thing), and both the leads have good chemistry with each other.
Seems to be an emotional, healing drama, so if you fw that, please go ahead.
I like it so much, it’s so comforting, but with how it’s going I kinda sense that some more sad plot twists…
You're right! I sense it too. This drama is so healing. It's generally not the kinda stuff I'd watch, but I tuned in for Chae Wonbin, and now I don't want this to be sad. 😭
I'm surprised a lot of people don't like this. This is literally better than few of the other highly rated rom-coms airing right now. No filler scenes, and it's super funny. The main characters' interactions are hilarious, and now that the episodes have progressed, it's super cute. Anyway, ig this is a 'he falls first' trope which is so satisfying considering how he's been in the first three episodes 😭 I seriously hope they improve the show upon each episode, rather than going downhill after episode 8, or something.
