Yes, I watched it and in my opinion that’s how I feel, feel free to disagree ^^

I’m not a hater of Bon Appétit though (if that’s what bothered you), I just think they got lost in the story and a lot of things ended up messy. It was a poor use of the couples’ chemistry and of good actors.

yep, they made him goof from nowhere, i didn't like either

Well, the story isn’t really my type, I mostly watched it because of Lusi. I didn’t think the main couple had much chemistry. I’m on episode 23 and honestly not very motivated to finish it, and to be fair, she’s not exactly innocent either, they totally deserve each other, lol. I couldn’t really believe in his redemption arc, that he only realized he loved her after losing her. He was a rich guy used to getting everything he wanted and not being told no.

And btw, going against the current trend of Korean dramas (which have been REALLY bad lately), this one clearly had its 13 episodes properly planned, no unnecessary filler, and nothing got cut in a way that made the story nonsensical (like what happened in Bon Appétit). The romance is well developed, the story is beautiful, and the visual effects are really good. It’s sad all the hate, because now Netflix will just focus on those terrible shows with awful production, story, and writing that you all rate highly only because of the actors.

This one is really good, the story is well put together, it’s fun, with great chemistry and solid characters, both main and supporting. The hate it’s getting is totally disproportionate. It’s a fantasy story. Just like many others that draw from different religions, if you’re sensitive about that, then simply don’t watch it.

I thought it was romance. I actually thought the two of them had good chemistry, but it was poorly used. Every episode felt like MasterChef. Unfortunately, it wasn’t really to my liking 😭😭

I think they focused more on the cooking than the romance. The romance felt way too rushed, while the scenes of her cooking and people eating took up like 70% of the episodes. There were parts where I just couldn’t stand watching her cook anymore and started skipping.

It started off really well but completely lost its way halfway through. And the ending? What was that? He just shows up out of nowhere in a suit?? I mean, sure, it’s fantasy, but come on. I’ve seen Chinese time-travel dramas handle the return way better. Anyway… as always, Korean dramas being disappointing. The days when they knew how to make a good romcom are long gone.

Not to mention the wasted potential of great actors like Kang Han Na, such a shame. The only good thing was Jo Jae Yoon finally playing an honorable character for once hahahaha.

If they made a second season with them falling in love in the modern world, I’d totally watch it!!!!!!!!!

This one really surprised me. I started watching it without expecting much, just as an “in-between show” while waiting for another one to finish releasing, and wow, what a surprise. The special effects aren’t the best, but the chemistry and story totally won me over. Even though it has 33 episodes, the arcs are well-developed and nicely tied together. A really pleasant surprise.

Ah, and I forgot to mention, she actually goes to the Ashina Sun tribe!

Some things changed in the live action. There are a few characters that don’t exist in the manhua but were included in the show, and vice versa. Besides that, I think the two main leads are quite faithful to the original story. Changge still keeps her tactical mind as well. I think you should give it a try and watch it! To me, it’s my number one favorite Chinese drama. It’s such a pity it was filmed during the COVID times, and some of the battle scenes were replaced with animations, but it didn’t take away any of the show’s brilliance.

Exactly!!!!!

Ashina Sun is right there with Mr. Darcy as one of my biggest character crushes hahaha

I saw on Viki that they released an animation and I was so excited to watch it that I didn’t even realize it only had 16 episodes and it stops right at the best part of the story. This is without a doubt my favorite Chinese series. I’ll have to rewatch it… I just wish the author of the original story would give it an ending. For those who haven’t read the manhua it kind of has no ending and the animation doesn’t either but the show’s writers actually created one.

Thank you!! I was hopeless looking for something after Shadow Love, then I checked out the synopsis and I liked it. I'M GONNA WATCH IT!

This drama hooks you in a different way. At first I honestly wasn’t into the story that much, it felt like nothing was happening and some episodes even felt like fillers… but it was all so pretty that I kept watching. And THANK GOD I did. It’s the kind of show that just gets better and better, and from the middle to the end it’s REALLY good. Beautiful and captivating story, great characters, AMAZING chemistry.

I always see this happen: whenever a beloved actor does a new drama after a super popular one, fans from the old show show up just to complain or say the new actress isn’t good enough. Stop that, it’s ridiculous and tacky. Appreciate the actors on their own, not just because of your favorite ship. Before this one I watched Legend of the Female General and Cheng Lei was incredible with insane chemistry with the also amazing Zhou Ye. Now he came back and gave another great performance with Song Yi. Let’s give them credit so they keep making good couples with talented actors, instead of whining about it. PEACE

Yeah I had a feeling that some whole episodes from the beginning/half seemed fillers. The series itself are the final 8 episodes. And yet it's a very good series. I just thought they lost the timing of his discovery of who he really is.

I'm so mad at this writer who made him a fool for 30 episodes and is only giving me 8 episodes of him as the cold, calculating prince (I know it was cute, but THAT whole magical fighting world + Jade Linlong plot could’ve ended way faster ugh)

I watched this series when it first came out and I was the same age as the character. Back then I kept postponing getting braces but I finally did it and now that I’m getting them off, I remembered this silly little show that randomly stuck with me. I used to feel embarrassed about getting braces as an adult but whether you do it or not, time will pass anyway. Don’t let age stop you from doing things.
