I just completed this drama and I'm happy I give it a fair chance because I enjoyed the politics, the scheming and acting a lot. The way how it was all schemes and it felt like a game they were playing and only one person will be the victor.
I also realised after finishing this that this felt like the FL was a graduate who had no work experience and landed her first job not as an entry level but much higher, and though she had the qualification she did not have any actual experience, thats how the first 5-7 episodes felt to me and that's probably why I felt like so much was happening, because she joined a game with veterans, but after she went and got experience, she came back formidable, all that hidden talent without the experience to back it up started fshowing, and she was on top of the scheming game.
The romance had a lot of yearning and staring into eachother eyes, some kiss scenes but based on this type of drama and the story, it was enough. I feel like they had the first half to hash out everything and formed this unbreakble bond, and then the second half was to focus on whats at hand... I definitely enjoyed the second half a lot more than the first half though.
I must have watched plenty of xianxia/wuxia already that I’d consider this not too exhausting 😂
Hi, I also watched a lot of xianxia etc, but I am curious about the ending of this one before I start, is it a HE, okay ending? I don't mind if someone died but did they come back? lol that's usually what happens in xianxia. I don't mind some spoilers, just remmeber to put a tag :)
I just read the manhwa again for the 5th time lol and ultimately decided I’m gonna give the drama chance despite…
I agree with you 100%
I love reading webtoon and rarely watch the Kdrama adaptation, because more than often its always not the same or done poorly.
This was the first webtoon i read, and I've reread it multiple times. I wasn't as excited to watch it only because it's rare to find a good adaptation, but I still had it saved just in case and i keep coming back contemplating if i will watch it only for the webtoon sake, but as you mentioned i don't think I will be able too sigh!.
I went in knowing about the pacing from the reviews and comments, and I didn't mind i just wanted to watch this. Don't get me wrong it's not bad, but I guess I see what others mean, its episode 6 and so much has happened, but yet nothing happened!!.
I'm going to continue, but I need to see something happen soon for the FL with all that work she put in. Then again, I'm not expecting anything because of her opponents, she's new to a game they've been playing all a long. Idk 😌
Thank you for this, I've been watching Kdrama since maybe 2012, and i actually stopped watching much of it from…
Thank you, I've been hearing so much about When The Phone Rings, and I do have Royal Nemesis in my playlist ot watch, thansk for the recommendations :)
Thank you for your reply... I have the same thought about the FL being so young, if she was at least 18, but she was so young when they filmed this, idk why they thought it was a good idea for such a young actress.
Hello, thank you. I actually haven't seen half of your recommendation😅
Hidden Love — FL (I've seen this twice 🤭)
Love Like the Galaxy — ML (I've seen this already as well)
Till the End of the Moon — ML (i haven't seen this though i did start episode one when it first came out, i guess the SE is whats preventing me and i heard it very angsty)
The Key to the Phoenix Heart — ML (This is on my watch next, I had decided to jump right into it even though there is no kisses or skinship, because i like the ML actor and I've seen the FL in so many supporting role so i would love to see her in her first official main role, can you tell me how you liked this)
Love of the Divine Tree — ML (loved this, and may just rewatch it onr day soon 🤭)
Kill Me, Love Me — ML (i actually checked this out yesterday and decided not to watch it, can you tell me more about it?)

Any other recommendations for Kdrama's you've watched recently that would give that nostaglic feeling? or just worth the watch to be honest
Do you mind replying when you are done with final thoughts on this drama?
