Thanks for the link.
I already see some interesting dramas to check, but shows like "Blossoms of Power" would not make my list because the ML is the strongest/most capable/manipulative person in the drama, who saves the female lead a gazillion times.

Well, I'm not a fan of the "sassy" tag; I'm more into "calm" or "emotionally strong" female leads, while "sassy" too many times means she just doesn't know when to shut up :).

The one on here wasn't too bad in this aspect, though.

PS. You missed some interesting comments yesterday here, about the ML; before they got deleted :)

Also, maybe my playlist would be to your interest - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL07cQXP6zFrZTavwmT5YLL3CpmMKNHJlP
I prefer non-ML, non-rebirth dramas, but they are so difficult to find.

2ML?
Based on the description, it sounds like Joo Yeo Jung (doctor), but the number doesn't fit.
Or maybe I am mixing/messing things up :)

I've had a similar reason to watch it (fresh after re-watching "Are you the One?"), but even WCR looking beautiful and stunning in a Qipao couldn't save it, and I gave up on it rather quickly.
Good luck to fellow WCR fan :).

Genuine critique - a critical opinion I agree with
Hating - a critical opinion I disagree with

LOL, people are funny with their hypocrisy

More like a love hexagon drama ;)

Thanks for the above post; with the FL like that, it's definitely not something I would enjoy.

There is nothing wrong with you - Episode 33 means you already watched the best that PoJ had to offer.
You can easily drop it and pick the new drama without looking back.

She looked outrageously beautiful in "Are You the One?", including the moments when she stabbed various perpetrators/attackers in the neck with her hairpins.
Was very sweet 95% of the time, though.

I don't know about here, but when I recently watched "Kill My Sins" (excellent drama), I felt Liu Shi Shi's posture when riding a horse looked somewhat weird.
Not sure how those scenes were created/filmed, but it made me quite curious.

Well, this one doesn't really have much of a plot; at least nothing heavy or important like it was in Blossom. Here, it's just a bunch of princes falling in love with a female lead without any good reason, with the ML written as an Almighty Marty Sue who can do everything.

"Blossom" is at least one tier higher in overall quality; only the 2nd couple in BoP is truly unique and worth following.

I wonder if this will be as misandrist as the original version.

I don't watch much K-dramas, so I'm not familiar with the leading pair. But following the Ayase-Nishijima combo will definitely not be an easy feat.

One of the most misandrist shows ever created, and I can't stand Ryoko Hirouse.
But still, as a big fan of them, the Ayase-Nishijima pairing is as good as you can get, which made it a decent watch.
Plus, Tsubasa Honda was pretty funny in this one.

It was also interesting to see Haruka Ayase looking very fit in this one, as it was done between (or maybe directly after) "Seirei no Moribito" filming, probably her most challenging role in the physical aspect.

Also, through watching this show, I learnt about Sei Ashina's suicide :(

There were a few moments which were too over-the-top for me, but the 1st arc was just an amazing ride, so many memorable moments, dialogues and episodes.

I've had it on my radar for quite some time.
Now, after completing both parts of "Glory", I'm ready to finally watch it.

Korean drama: Glory (2022), both parts,
Also, Chinese "Kill My Sins" (2025), but it's a costume drama.

- The difference between rebirth and soul transmigration is rather minuscule; they both definitely belong in the same category (whatever the name of it would be)
- Didn't the female lead in BoP quickly get rid of one of the concubines, who hurt her mother? It sounds pretty revengeful, but I don't know how many situations like that happened later.

Well, you could write that about almost every FL in the C-drama land, so it's not the strongest argument :).

The supposedly smart and capable FL in "Blossom of Power" would probably die 10 times in the opening 11 episodes, if not for her multiple love interests saving her bacon.

It always depends on personal priorities.

I like shows featuring interesting/capable female leads, and I consider Wang Chu Ran the most beautiful Asian actress (and she looks stunning here), so it should be an easy "Yes" for me.
Yet, I dropped this one quickly and don't plan to come back, especially after reading posts that she is incompetent/dumb with her revenge (I could stomach ADHD camera work and cinematography if the female lead would be good)

But, I'm sure your priorities are different; it's just a matter of finding a drama which fits them.

Yes, go waste 1800 minutes to learn that the show is actually as bad as advertised.

Sir/Madam - would you be interested in a blind date with "Rebirth"?
