My toxic trait of starting a drama and abandoning it halfway through to "on hold" purgatory where i pretend i'll still finish it one day might be striking... it's not even that I dislike the drama, I just can't bring myself to click play on the episode
I will say I'm not a big fan of the current poster. It's not a bad photo but I feel like it doesn't capture the vibe of the whole story. Looks a little too nondescript I guess.
I finally started being normal about this drama but now seeing TXW in Moonlit Reunion made me not so normal again 😠wish i didn't know about this drama's existence so I could live in peace... praying we it get it by the end of the year
Not in the novel, no. They get to know each other's identities at the same time after being married, due to an…
Well...its interesting that the adaptation made things more serious. with the way things have been shown in the drama, it's definitely going to be an issue. sigh
arthur chen really nails the heartbroken expressions. on the one hand i want the characters to be back to being happy quickly on the other hand i'm like....let's keep this man as miserable as possible!!!
when i started watching this i was surprised to see a rebirth story that was very clearly rebirth. i had thought maybe the rules had been relaxed a bit at least for modern dramas... but based on the comments the kicker comes at the end after all. maybe i'll just drop at ep 16. i don't feel like i need to see much more anyway
Why did the series' rating go down😡? If you don't like the drama, don't watch it and skip it. There's no need…
I personally usually only rate when i've seen at least 2/3rds of a drama, however I think it's a little a ridiculous to tell people not to rate things they dislike. What would be the point of a rating system if people only rated dramas they like? the ratings would all be 9.5+ and pointless
if a drama and/or it's cast interests you, there is nothing stopping you from checking it out even if it has a "low" rating. and imo, people need to stop seeing a 7-8 rating as a terrible rating
I wish we had seen more of her rise in the army the first time around. She showcased her skills just fine I suppose, but I felt pretty unconvinced by her leadership. And I had a hard time connecting with her because we only told and not shown most things.
It didn't need to be 10 episodes long or anything, but a quick arc of her backstory showing her rise in the army originally and how she came to lead and stuff would have made it easier to connect to her desire of wanting to get her title back and protect what she built. And would have made certain losses more emotionally impactful.
ep 19 // oh no amnesia plotline... this is why i struggle to finish xanxia dramas- the genre is built on so many tropes i dislike. but the romance is good and i'm really enjoying this so far, so i'll try to stick it out... i just really hope there will be no major betrayal between the leads or stupid misunderstandings i can't take it
I enjoyed this one a lot despite it having a few tropes I find annoying. It felt like there were some loose threads at the end but otherwise very enjoyable.
If you liked dramas like New Life Begins, Blossoms In Adversity, and Flourished Peony you will likely enjoy this.
i've been binge watching a lot of these vertical/mirco cdramas and most are a rinse and repeat of the same 3 plots.
the story beats of this one still wasn't super unique, but the setting definitely was (or at least, i havent seen any other with this setting)
i really would have liked more back story expansion on the lead's previous encounters. would have given the "enemies" part of enemies to lovers more oomf.
what the HELL are they talking about? "theyre saying this is Little Xin" broooo what is "this"?! the camera isn't showing anything and the characters aren't describing what the corpse(? is it a corpse? a pile of organs? WHAT IS IT?) other than the foul oder.
i thought the body of the other guy completely disappeared but the little boys death made it seem like something was left behind?? its so hard to feel emotionally invested in the death when everything is so vague and i have no idea what the characters are talking about
