Drama lover

Watched it for Bo Gum and So Dam. I knew if was a slow slice of life kind of drama. I've been watching to much action,thriller,mystery k drama and a lot of costumes c dramas and wanted a change. I liked it. Though I did a little self editing with the skip button.
And yes some plots and plot progression didn't make sense making me scratch my head with a question mark. I'm going to blame the writers for that.
All in all I enjoyed it. Maybe I just wanted something a bit full to fit my recent mood.

Same. Just told myself I would peek 2 episodes but wow, this is amazing. The cinematography is superb, also loving the humor.

Lol. Wait he did that drunk? Wow. Even more respect. Shi de was in pain, heart broken he wanted shu to so bad but also knew that shuyi hated him and wanted to hurt him. He had to share all those emotions while drunk?

Ep 2, mnh, Sam and Yu's acting. Giving a standing ovation. But seriously Sam, wow.
When shi de broke down on the hall way, saying sorry and asking to start over, he was a broken man and how Sam portrayed that was just chefs kiss. This ep was a rollercoaster of emotions.

I was like 'the door?' But then I guess he was confused when he saw shi de, he wanted to get away from him that he forgot all about it.

Haven't read the novel for joy of life. So don't know how they changed the fl character. She didn't seam infantalized a XW. She just seam weak. There ia a difference btn innocence and full on infantalization. An example is rong rong she could be deamed innocent, but XW is just hair splitting. Even the 6yr old XW in the novel has more emotional maturity.
But still this is just my opinion. It might not seam like that to all. Usually I can't stand when a fl is written like that and just drop. But this the character dynamics btn the 7 devils is just a joy to watch.

Binged watched 28 episodes and now reading the translated novel while waiting for new episodes. The world really intrigued me and wanted to know more. One thing I will not forgive the screen writers is what they did to Xiao Wu character. Why do they keep infantilizing the fl?

Finished episode 11 and I want to hunt the writers down so we can have a very loooong talk.
Why? Why?
I felt like I had been hit in the guts, and that was a very dirty punch.
This drama is a roller coaster of emotions. Lord the acting was superb especially on those gut wrenching scenes everyone delivers especially the actor playing So Mun. Gonna keep an eye out for more of his works.

68 episodes? Oh lord. The cinematography is insane, I'm in love with the sets and costumes just breath taking.
But whose decision was it to make the male leads play their younger selves?
The story opens up with them being in their late teens? My suspension of disbelief really had a hard time with that.
All in all the acting was wonderful.
I don't know why I kept comparing it with story of minglan. Wondering if this is when it should've come out.

Luke warm review but I like it. Ok maybe Im biased cuz of Hu yi tian. I really like his character Gao Shan ambiguous and never say what he means. Now he got me wondering about his feelings for Lin wo.
Yes he likes her, that was established early on but him acting on them now is it him just letting his emotions go? (He almost did that before)or is it a calculated ploy of some kind.
Their love may look beautiful, I'm sure we are going to get some sweet moments but there are going to be some hurt coming when his past comes to life.
So the question is are they going to hold on to this rose of a love with not thorns but barbs at its stems?
Theirs an image of them standing on a thin barb wire with their backs to each other in the intro theme, that doesn't bode well.
But the title you complete me gives me hope for a happy ending.

Come to think of it I haven't seen a lot of female character with curly hair, other than chacha in journey across the night.

Finished the first episode and P Mo Jin looks like a lamb shoved into a tigers den. Poor thing looks lost as hell.

"I'm sorry...... I saved you the day your mother abandoned you."
Oh that scene has stayed in my head for a while.
My favorite relationship dynamic is the brothers. There is so much hurt wondering how they are going to overcome it.

Watching this for Ireine Song. Staying for the sweet tooth inducing fluffy cute story.
I don't know why but I think the height difference is cute? Ireine looks so tiny next to him.

Hope his drama with bai lu blows up and he gets more lead roles. I believe he deserves them.

Im usually able to control my self but just couldn't for this.
So on comes the waiting

There's a lotto say about this drama but the thing that irked me the most was the decision to just to give the fl a dark completion and call her ugly. I mean come on make up team really? And the directors green lighting it.
Maybe I'm just a little sensitive on the matter, and maybe this is not the place? but what sort of message does that give to ppl? Especially girls with a darker skin?

Yeah. Haven't finished reading yet but I have been on a roller coaster ride of emotions. From crying to laughing to wanting to pull my hair out to throwing my hands up in joy. And then there are times where I just stop and contemplate, I didn't expect the topics and themes talked about in this. It's raw.
I wonder if the drama will be able to catch that rawness.

Out of curiosity I started reading the novel and I'm blown away. It's a beautifully written heart wrenching story that makes you want to think and dissect it and makes you think.
How I wish how I wish I was adept in Chinese as my sister cuz I know there is so much lost in translation, but even though this is one powerful story.
Thank you for the second link.

Didn't have much expectations started with a plan to drop after 4 episodes. Amazingly good.
