Unexpectedly good! I never expected the drama to turn out this way becuz i assumed it to be another 'idol drama'…
The plot twist at the end ~ dint really expected chengyin to be dead..but from the way WY interacted with CY after that, it did somehow felt different. But I would like it if they showed a little more about the friends story after that but thats ok too. I must say the drama is very focused on the main leads which is a good thing, showed the development of the leads at a good pacing. I Dont think I have seen such a male lead with such character so far...all the dramas Ive watched, typical CEO/typical over-bearing guy/typical cool, handsome etc..but in here, this male lead is so different...and im impressed with LYJ's acting too for a first time lead! Chemistry with WP is so good!! I can finally move on from her prev drama couple xD
Major Spoilers below 1) Got together at ep 8, thing started getting shaky at ard ep 15, time skip 3yrs at ep 16, got back at ep 20(no more breakups after).
Unexpectedly good! I never expected the drama to turn out this way becuz i assumed it to be another 'idol drama' which is simple, not much plot lines, not much acting etc. Just typical c-drama these days, but i was wrong... It was actually full of drama & melo but not tragic. The meaning of the drama is very deep... It was a breath of fresh air!
haven watched Yangyang's drama in a long time since love 020... i think his acting improved a lot... in this drama,…
Things that i like from this drama 1) No breakups! 2) Very mature & understanding relationship(healthy) 3) No unnecessary 3rd party or absurd storyline 4) Despite QJJ being a superstar, there wasnt any evil managers/agency 5) Although no side cpls, but just the main leads is very watchable. 6) Really different type of theme (Haven really seen a drama on aerospace & sorts) 7) At first I thought the 1st half of the drama was quite boring/slow paced. But after it got into 2nd half, things starts to get better and better.
haven watched Yangyang's drama in a long time since love 020... i think his acting improved a lot... in this drama, finally we dont get to see a perfect male lead! Instead, the male lead may be handsome & popular but not very rich & has his own struggles on relationship. Something very diff from his prev role from love020..which is a good thing!
is this really an Idol drama?? <-- My thoughts at the end of the ep 12. After watching so many idol dramas, I must say, this is very well produced! The idol actors/actress's(including those pure actors) acting were so natural... the story didnt focuz too much on the main leads but instead everyone has a fair share of appearance(at least for the 3 main couples & the managers) One of the less cringy idol drama...the songs were good, the last 3-4 eps were really touching especially the ending. Makes me think that how good it will be if every idol's agencies can be like Tea Party's agencies. Getting monthly salary and being respected by their CEOs. But all these seems to be just like a dream and would probably not come true in korea. Oh wells, I had fun watching it and it was interesting till the end (at least i didnt FF too much)... (this is based on me who didnt read the webtoon...on its own, i think its good) Side note, I LOVE RI-A & I-HYEON COUPLE!!! WISHED THEY HAD MORE SCENES) >.<
i must say, this is Liang Jie's turning point in her career.... finally I can unsee her with Xing Zhao Lin as…
the ending was not rushed and a diff kind of happy ending!! although i wished to see a bit more of their realistic life...but the msg that brings across the drama is pretty good. short breakup but not ugly...there is a time skip but reasonable.
i must say, this is Liang Jie's turning point in her career.... finally I can unsee her with Xing Zhao Lin as they were always collaborating/in the same drama. This, I really like her character here and she has great chemistry with Steven ~ The story is great! the pace is stable....the ending was unpredictable but I actually like it....
im on ep 28 now...I MUST SAY, ONE OF THE BEST DRAMA THIS YEAR!! I felt so much invested in it(I didnt even FF which is RARE) and everyone is doing so well in this. So I dont understand why are so many people bashing on it. Initially, when i watch the trailer, I wasnt so interested as ive heard a fair share of negative review on Cheng xiao's acting, but internation fans has high review on this drama, so i decided to give it a try. Oh My..this is sooooooo freaking good! The balance between the story and romance is so on point! I think this is my 2nd best e-sport/competition related drama besides go go squid.
Edit: So i finally understood what's all the fuss about this drama....if putting aside all the logic & rules of esports, I do think this is a not bad drama. The actors are quite natural including cheng xiao. But I know esports fans strongly objected to it becuz of how the script neglected the rules and regulations of esports(and the plagarism issue) . I guess that's why it's not doing well in China. However, I don't think that shld be a reason to hate on the casts.. Becuz I know it was getting too unreasonable that it is going so bad.
it was comedic, a bit illogical...full of sweetness, fluff.~ somehow it gives me "she is the one" vibes in this drama(if you watched that drama) xDDD it was an ok drama...good as filler. The casts are great, love all 3 couples. And the LQ's dad & big bro was so funny.. xDDDD
it was good...everything in this drama flowed naturally...even the romance too. But I would prefer more sweet moments between the leads...they are such a nice couple.. =) Love the ending scene but i wished it was longer xD P.S Its been a long time since ive watched Haruna's drama..the last Ive watched was ouran high school...it was great watching her drama again...reminds me of the good old days ^_^ She has matured and grow in her acting skills. As for Ryusei, Ive watched him in Watashitachi wa Douka Shiteiru and thought he is quite good looking but probably because of the character, he was little jerk in that drama..in this drama, he improved a lot on his acting skills and i see a whole new ryusei in here!! ... really hope to see more of his works!!
I agree; it was a beautiful production.Apart from the heavenly set and the writing behind it, I love everything…
AGREE!! It is underrated. Probably because it was not a focused drama for Iqiyi i guess? I dun see many news/articles or video clips promotion for this drama. So I didnt really know what this drama was about in the first place. I just took a gamble and watched it. Little did I know, OMGEE, this drama is awesome!
for the first time..im seeing a kdrama with no breakups because of misunderstandings or whatsoever xDDD its super rareeeeeee xD for once we get a mature couple xDDD
S2 started with FL&ML in the abyss....and finally tying up the loose ends and all the untold stories/final big…
Most ideal ending I've ever seen in this genre. Super happy ending and most importantly no troops of forgetting your previous life or whatsoever. Mortals and Immortals/You Zu live in peace while not forgetting the presence of each other. Quite a rounded ending and not rushed at all.
S2 started with FL&ML in the abyss....and finally tying up the loose ends and all the untold stories/final big boss to be resolved. In this season, we see the undying love of ML towards FL and vice versa. ML unconditionally supporting FL and keeping rational throughout their mission. However, I felt that the mission at abyss was a bit long winded as it was basically half of S2. Will be great if they could cut down a bit as I find myself FF more often than S1. Personally feel they should put the profile for S1 & 2 together because it was meant to be 1 drama in the first place anyways and also for easier review. xD
Absolutely stunning production!! Do not watch Season 2 without watching season 1! It was meant to be 1 drama in…
The good:- 1) Amazing casts ~ 2)CGI & Cinematography is stunning 3)No messy/toxic relationship!! Im quite sick of historical/immortal drama that have toxic relationship. But thankfully this one doesn't really have!!** Although not toxic, they still have 1 or 2 cliche troops but that's okay because things will get better after that. 4) Great chemistry between the leads, SUPER good looking FL&ML - I have to say, she is one of the best FL I've ever seen in this genre. Not annoying or stupid at all and super beautiful!! (in the last few eps of S2, she actually looks like jin se yeon in white hair!! ) 5) Story plot is not very predictable..whenever you think its ending but its not~~ the villian really have strong character xDD 6) The little creatures are super cutee too!! But the cutest is the teacup, medicine bottle & the little kirin boy <33 7) THE ENDING(in s2) <333
The Bad:- 1) Wish they cut down on the story-telling of the abyss, i found it a little repetitive as they already did some flashback in earlier episodes before she enter. However, i think it was necessary to enter the abyss to complete the story.
But I would like it if they showed a little more about the friends story after that but thats ok too.
