Kamlyn blossoms

I agree. Shuyi wasn't that bad as a female character as most of the fl reacts the same way in front of their loved ones. But yes, the reason behind her revenge was kinda casual? I mean, tbh I didn't even realise through half of that show that she was faking. I thought that she wanted to meet her uncle and seduce her but realizing that it was shi Yan, her interviewer, she dropped that idea and focused on interview. The flirty remarks and stuff, everything looked natural and not forced as if she was planning something. It would have been better if they had shown more of her perspective as her acting, because her feelings looked too real since start and suddenly she was confused with revenge. This confusion should have come in the middle of that's the case when her feelings started to grow. That was kinda messed up part for me, the drama was great but the small details were missing that would have bind the whole drama in my opinion.

Seriously. I planned to start watching it after some episodes but couldn't control myself and ended up watching the two episodes. Now I am regretting my decision. I should have waited, because it's going to be hell lot of torture to wait for next episodes.

I have read this webtoon long ago, when it only started and was raw. At that time I was practicing Korean so my focus was more on words and vocab than the story. Though I liked the story at that time, it was difficult for me to keep it up with the story as an intermediate student only as it had many historical words. I feel I am enjoying this drama more than I had expected. It is fast paced, the actors are doing great and the chemistry is superb. I am not a huge fan of this ml as I cannot complete most of his dramas. But his chemistry with SY is amazing. This girl is made of sageuk dramas and nailing every role related to historical parts. She is funny, elegant, graceful and quirky at the same time. I am looking forward for more of this drama, I feel it's going to be the masterpiece of this year, but cannot say the winner. Because there are many good dramas releasing this year and are about to be released. Yet it will be one of my favs of this year.

That....would be super awkward and embarassing. Lol

Right. There are many dramas with hit ratings that I doesn't quite like and many dramas with poor ratings which became my obsession. So it happens. Some people focuses more on chemistry, some on plot, some on visuals or some on length of the drama. Everyone's reasoning to consider a drama good varies.

About camera angle, I agree. I feel directing and camera work is quite lousy. Because the kiss scenes were so bad, Bai lu can give good kiss scenes but the camera always zooms out at important moments and that spin moments,I also feel that it needed work. There were many points where I feel FL's character was quite inconsistent which even confused me. At times they showed her as strong, independent and smart girl and suddenly the next moment, she becomes so stupid. It wasn't like she was single for a long time, instead she was in a long relationship so sometimes her forced naivety kinda confused me. But overall, I found this drama quite entertaining and it made me at edge to look forward for the next episode. I would say this drama was a hit because of it's casting, because not only main leads but side or supporting characters were amazing and had a good storyline going on.

About the drama recommendations, I don't usually check videos or something. I simply reads the synopsis, or the fmv or shorts of their scenes. If I find them interesting and have a good chemistry, then I give it a chance. I started this one because it had both top tier cast and it made me curious about their unique pair as a couple. I feel drama reviewers opinion can be quite different and might affect my judgment, so I generally avoid them.

I didn't see her rant but I did see a reel, someone saying about this drama in Instagram. They ruthlessly critized the camera angles, Bai lu's fashion in the drama and the chemistry. Tbh at that point, I haven't noticed much negative points and sometimes it feels forced. I mean, writing is not perfect for sure, but as a rom com , it was very good compared to many other popular yet lousy dramas. I don't understand why there is so much negative issue about this drama. There isn't something too bad about this drama that people are making a big deal out of it.

Exactly. Like others I also check the comments and reviews before watching a drama but I try to focus on positive ones first than the negative ones. Because if I like the reasonablity in positive ones, then those drama might be to my liking, so I give them a try. This drama has mixed reaction, there are people who liked it and some felt that it was compeletely a waste. I would say that it was a pretty good drama, could have been better if we have lesser number of episodes with less misunderstanding, dragged episodes. The last 6 episodes were such a pleasant watch and gave a perfect ending to the drama, plus bonus episode which I haven't watched it yet.

I am at episode 34 and will finish the remaining 2 episodes by today. I just want to drop my opinion here, though I have written enough already for this drama. This drama is for those who love light-hearted rom-coms with not much heavy story going around and can watch a simple love story with good chemistry. Because this drama doesn't have much of a plot if that's what you're looking for, it's a typical rom-com with good amount of chemistry and slow-burn. If you're looking for fast paced drama, then it might not be your fav but I loved it. I was looking for some office light rom-com and it fulfilled all of my requirements. It was flirty, funny, had romance and most important, Dylan and Bai Lu gave us best chemistry. The first and last episodes were the best, got a bit draggy in middle with misunderstanding part but after that it's all flowery path. I am loving it sm and can't believe I have to bid goodbye to this drama. It has become a routine to watch it in the evening, now I have to look for another drama with similar feels. If you're worried about the negative comments and reviews, I would say that watch first two episodes and see if you like it or not. Because many times we tend to judge a drama based on negative comments and it could turn into a best drama for you. This one is the same which has lots of negative comments, especially because of top cast because of course, they might have certain high expectations. But if you're like me, focused mainly on drama and chemistry, then this might be to your liking.

If Viki did not get the bonus episode, I will watch on other websites though. Like myasiantv. Compared to others it shows less pop ups and easy to download. But since I never used kisskh before, I am kinda reluctant to use it now.

Same. I was looking for a light-hearted Chinese drama and it was the best for me.

I think it's the update schedule or something. Because before on mdl, it showed 29 nov as it's ending. Seems like they're somehow trying to make that happen. 😭 But I really hope for them to drop all episodes now. It's getting sm interesting now and yet we have to wait sm.

I tried but I couldn't play the episode. The pop ups were annoying and I was scared of getting the virus. So I decided to go with the flow and torture myself with one episode a day. 🥲

I will check it out as well but yeah. Scared of those pop ups.

For me it's a really good drama maybe because I don't expect much when starting chinese drama especially the CEO kind of dramas. They do tend to get a bit cheesy and sometimes a bit dramatic. This one was one of those drama that I just started without even checking the synopsis and ended up liking it. And yes, the main reason was the cast. They were the one holding the drama altogether. I waited for episodes everyday and despite the misunderstanding and some lacking, kiss scenes and things going around, I still liked it, thought about it and will complete it. I have a another list of best dramas that I recommend to everyone, so this one is for those days when you just want something light-hearted and nothing serious and you know, a bit cliche. But yeah, it's interesting to see so many perspectives of this drama. It was good, definitely could have been better if it had lesser number of episodes but yeah, even so they managed to give us a good drama.

I really liked it. Hope you do as well.

I can't believe after 4 days of break, they gave us only 1 episode when all the episodes have been released? Like what is the use of subscription when we will get only 1 episode after 4 days despite being all out? It's such a torture to see clips of the other episodes going around all over Insta and you cannot watch the drama. I was expecting to see all episodes released but it was such a let down. I want more episodes.

Sometimes slowburn makes you anticipate the chemistry even more.

There will be countless opinions about this drama. But as someone who has watched all kinds of dramas and was immune to them, I would say it's a really good drama with good chemistry. The leads, even the supporting casts have good chemistry and their own storyline going on. The story starts with a slight misunderstanding and the romance buds on it. There will be a few episodes after the misunderstanding was revealed and might feel heavy but they again clears up everything and we're all happy, full of chemistry again. TBH I have read many novels based on this trope but it's not easy to make a good drama out of this cliche storyline. But the actors made the chemistry worth watching. It has good amound of romance, flirting, jealousy, bit drama going on. Overall, it's all worth it. You can make your opinion based on the drama after watching first 2 episodes. Hope you like it.
