I wouldnt say it was fantastic.. but It want bad either. Before the drama airs, I had really low expectation.. because honestly, KR's Rom-com standard has dropped tremendously (im guessing because everyone is sick of the cliche plots and cringey scenes). It either turns out really good or jus really disappointed. 12 eps a little too short but it would spoil the drama anyways if it was 16 eps or 20eps. The side characters were really cute.. so its a plus!
I do enjoyed the drama.. until the last few eps...the ending could be better. Felt like it was a bit dis-oriented with the political and feud between all those villians. Can I jus say.. our lead's are short of existence in the last part of the drama. Felt like they were there and not there. but everyone did a great job in the acting.
i felt like i was in another universe.. the chemistry was off the roof! the editing overall was ok.. some mistakes here and there. Not the perfect drama.. but keeps you entertained.
Wished we could've seen more of the mistress's suffering from losing her meal ticket!
actually i think she suffered.. because her own daughter denied her in the end. to be denied by her own daughter.. probably the worst feeling for a mother.. but she deserves it anyways
Can someone explain the significance of the name Liu Guang Forest? She changed the name?
liu guang （留光） was originally a name they both （FL & ML) came up with.. but previously it was named Liu Guang Garden (Liu guang hua yuan 留光花园). But.. Xiguang changed the name secretly to Liu Guang forest (Liu guang sen lin 留光森林) because she wants Yu Sen to have like a presence in the company even after he leaves to work in the medical field. And forest represent Yu Sen (as his name has a "sen 森 " which in chinese character it can mean forest 森林, you can also find that they keep mentioning that Yu sen has 5 wood character in his name) So its called LIU GUANG FOREST.
If you understand Chinese it will be easier to understand.. but hopefully my eng explanation works for you too. =)
the part where xiguang scolded her dad is superrrrrrr good!! Maimai acted well!! LOVE LOVE THE ENDING BTW ~ I wouldnt say it has the best storyline....there are filler scenes (esp the business aspect).. but I love the relationships between every character. This is a easy to watch drama and so visually stunning too. (is it time to move on from amidst the snowstorm??..TT.TT)
Side note, i think the slow burn in this drama is necessary because of the time setting. They started the story in 2013? or even earlier.... its the era when wechat & smartphones are just starting to get popular i guess?? people are still quite "naive" or "innocent" xD
disclaimer: I skip a lot of the 1st part because I thought the introduction of a wuxia drama is too boring for me.. But... as it moves towards 2nd part of the drama.. i started to get pretty interested in it that I had minimal fast forward (jus FF on filler scenes)...But honestly.. its a pretty good watch at least for me. I like the FL&ML. Even thou ML was "backstabbed" couple of times but it seems like the ML didnt really has a full blown rage towards the FL. He is quite "green flag" Jus my personal opinion~ (ML LOOKS AMAZING in white hair) Its bewildering that this drama didnt get more popular ~
Even thou the storyline was a bit absurd towards the end, not the best storyline.. but i must say KTO & KSJ's acting very on point! I really saw KTO in KSJ and KSL in KTO while they were switched. Of course, MEGA LOVE THE ENDING! Its very rare for such drama to have such a satisfying ending. TT.TT It was a nice watch..!
didnt watch this with much expectation... but overall its not a bad watch. the couples here are so cutee! and i really didnt expect to see Bomin here!!
