Another actor who could have been excellent for that male lead role... Lin Gengxin. When in costumed dramas, he…
I know right... Lin Gengxin would have made a very charismatic monarch in this drama. Faking sickness and playing dumb while strategizing against his enemies would have been a piece of cake for him.
Oh wow... That FL is killing me. Her acting skills or rather her lack of it is interesting... That actress sticks out like a sore thumb. *Can being pretty redeem an actress’s less than average acting skills? No, it can’t...
It was about time in this utterly tragic Chinese drama year that we get a great looking badass 1st female lead...
On a side note: General Villain here has one very interesting face expression. Is he smiling, smirking or is he not smiling, smirking? I really don’t know... For a number of episodes now, he has the same perpetual face expression.
The most disturbing things about the 1st season of these web series were the ill fitted wardrobes and the cheap wigs...:) They looked like they were rented, lended or borrowed for the filming. Like an under-budget high school drama production...
I really don’t know what to make of these web series...
They had the potential to be as good as the Eternal Love series; however, somehow along the way they just went to a weird place... The male lead acted throughout the series like an automated dummy and the 2 female leads were respectively annoying in each of their individual way. Or was it the lines that were provided to them that were annoying?... IDK...
The supporting actors and actresses had better acting skills than all of the 3 main leads combined. They provided some necessary comic relief to a somehow strange storyline.
*Season 2 and 3 should have been named “Doctor at Large” not “Princess at Large.”
I actually like Zhang Huiwen much better here, I really disliked how she portrayed her character in NIF2. IMHO…
I agree the doctor’s character that Zhang Huiwen portrayed in NIF 2 was too emotionless, too icy and I even used to call her Dr. Iceberg...
In this drama, I think she has improved a little bit. I mean; it is not remarkable but enough to see the difference. As for Allen Ren, It is interesting to watch both of his goofy and stoic characters... I always appreciate actors and actresses who venture into roles outside of their comfort zones.
People don't know, but back in 2013 the victim's statements were suspicious. Shihoo was at the peak of his fame…
His best years as a young and talented actor got destroyed. It is very very very sad.
This drama, Kingmaker: The Change of Destiny, would have had so much more impact if it was filmed and produced during those years when Park Si-hoo was younger and was at the peak of his success...
The Princess’s Man is an example as the perfect timing for him.
What a versatile actor! When he was evil in Princess Agents, I really hated him. But now in Our Glamorous Time,…
Jin Han might not be the definition of the classical and stereotypical handsome but he is sexy as hell. He exudes manliness without even trying. And yes indeed, he is one of the few best versatile actors out there.
As far as I know according to law in Korea if a body has not been found then someone cannot be convicted of murder,…
I am from the states and I had the exact skeptical reaction as you when I watched it. How can someone be convicted of murder without the body? Just by the presence of the critical amount of blood... found one year later...
Really. Just that? And not the red face masks or the bright pink VIP shipping boxes...
:) RIO must be a big brandname drink in China. I don’t think that I have seen a modern Chinese drama in the fairly recent years without some types of RIO drinks as product placements in them. Darn... I even want to taste the damn thing...
It is amazing how well Jin Han can portray both protagonist and antagonist characters. I always get goosebumps by his portrayals. Jin Han is able to convey complex emotions from both sides of the spectrum. We hate him with rage when he plays the villain... And we go head over heels gaga for him when he plays the good guy... His ability at adapting to all sorts of characters is far beyond than most seasoned actors out there.
Exactly like in his previous projects, “No Secrets” is just another example of his acting skills. Whenever his character was not in a scene, he was utterly missed. Jin Han truly earned and deserves more major 1st lead roles.
On A Side Note: Jin Han might not be the definition of the classical and stereotypical handsome but he is sexy as hell. He exudes manliness without even trying.

On the other hand, Lee Jong Suk is the definition of the classical and stereotypical handsome but there is absolutely nothing sexy or manly about him.

No, it can’t...
When in costumed dramas, he has that “I am better than all of you...” demeanor.
Too bad, he has been MIA since Princess Agents.
But very very very very low budget. Similar to an extra-curriculum after school drama club’s project.

This is a far far far far far far cry from Addicted...
I mean this is a catastrophic bloody murder scene...
It is so bad that it is funny.
Some scenes could have been better directed. And the writing could have been better as well.

Once we completely ignore the female lead’s presence; Sparrow is irrevocably the best spy drama to me as well.
