Imagine if this was a US or UK series, and I had to wait a whole bloody year for the next installment. OMG!! 😂😂
One of the reasons why I don't watch western shows anymore... I got so used to asian drama format that those few month til December feel like torture already...
it's also not healthy how I come back to AOS MDL page every week to read comments lol
I'm living for Joo Young's laugh :D She laughs so bright and wholeheartly that I rewatch her scenes several times. And her sismance with Nara is beautiful.
tbh this drama isn't really my cup of tea. It's seems the writer is a fan of thai lakorn. And I'm not a fan of lakorn to begin with. They're cringe and overdramatic.
But I'm still watching hahaha... the ML is hot just like all the comments are stating. And he's a good actor. Wondering why he hasn't had any major roles yet. The actress is also damn pretty and her role isn't a "dumb female lead" trope, so that's good as well.
Just watching for that eye candy 😆 then it's worth it!
Why do I already have second lead syndrome just by watching the trailer? °o° oh no... I wanted to go unbiased into this drama, but the charismatic actor of second ml is making it hard for me ...
Really???? That would be so cool! I love him and his acting is superb! All of these actors in Dr. Romantic S2 had major lead roles in the last few years. It's awesome that they are coming back to S3 *-*
Yay excited! I liked the cast of both S1 and S2, so I'm happy :) Would be glad if Kim Min Jae and So Ju Yeon would come back too, but that's too much to ask right? T-T
Junkyung's behavior is so disturbing. I'm not sure what she's been through her life, but she's psycho and manipulative. I even felt bad for Seok Joon this episode. He's bad, but he clearly likes her and cares for her.
Read in the comments that Junkyung deserves better then Seok Joon... u sure bout that? She's more evil to me than he is. At least he loves and has compassion for her. Junkyung seems like she's not capable of loving.
She is in desperate need of help, but she is the only one who can choose to change her life and receive help. Until then she is a lost cause for me and Gyeo Re is definitely better off without her...
That's bs. Things getting interesting in mortal world, Former god of war become compelling character. IDK what…
I guess we just have different opinions. Even tho I liked the idea of them in the mortal world, the plot with the "fake marriage" was not doing it for me. But I liked Dongfang and Xiao Runs's bromance. The best part of mortal world for me.
And Former God of war and Rong Hao's ending was kinda ridiculous for me. Rong Hao was evil to the bone but they even had him buried with his master, gave him a beautiful burial site and had a drink/toast on him ._. I didn't really get attached to character of former God of War...
As someone who watched many xianxias (and most of popular ones), if you think LBFAD is draggy and illogical, it's…
Thank you for your honest opinion and insides of Xianxia dramas! As much as I like the world of Xianxia dramas, it seems it's not my genre to watch. It's good to know opinions of people who watched a wide range of Xianxia. 😊 I really enjoyed historical Chinese drama "The Long Ballad". I was hoping to find similar drama with fantasy elements, but I will stick to the non-fantasy dramas then 🤗
Xinxia isn't my cup of tea either, its always really long episodes of unnecessary drama with 40+ eps, and its…
I liked this drama overall, but was not so impressed by it. I finished it, but had a huge urge to skip a lot of scenes (tho I didn't), because the side stories/characters bored me or some scenes were just over the top. The main story arc was actually good. I also loved the ML and that he was a "villain". The FL was kinda frustrating tho, but I still liked her with the ML and they had good chemistry.
But as a drama with this high rating, I just expected... more? And I'm wondering if this drama is considered a really good Xianxia drama, because then I don't think this genre is something I'm looking forward in the future. It's just sad, because the worlds created in Xianxia are actually fascinating, but usually the stories get really draggy or there are immense annoying side characters/ arcs.
You seem to have watched a lot of Xianxia dramas, so I think you're right :) Seems like it's not my genre after all. Quite sad tho, because I do like the Xianxia fantasy worlds. Can I still ask what your alltime favourite Xianxia drama is?
Hmm... just finished the whole drama now and was not really impressed. I enjoyed the first 10 episodes a lot. My favorite episodes were definitely ep 9 and 10. Those were really cool and exciting, still love to rewatch that scene where Dongfang saved Orchid in ep 9. That scene was amazing!... but afterwards the drama went downhill for me. Everything was kinda messy, illogical, lots of fillers and over the top plot twists/holes. Besides the main leads story I couldn't really get into the side characters with their stories. Orchid was also annoying most of the time, but I was kinda expecting it, because sadly a lot of Chinese dramas don't have likable female leads. The main story is actually really good and clever and totally a plot I'm digging, but I felt the story was dragged most of the time and wtf was that ending? I mean... I know with fantasy everything can happen, also a "wonder"... but I don't know... I feel so belittled as a viewer with that kind of ending.
Real honest question to avid Xianxia fans: As I love fantasy worlds, I tried several Xianxia dramas, but none of them could actually get me hooked throughout the drama. Most of them I dropped. This drama has a really high rating in MDL, so I had maybe too high expectations... but is this the standard I can expect of Chinese Xianxia dramas? Because if it is, then maybe Xianxia dramas are really not for me and I should give up to like them...
How is this drama so far? The comments are just gushing over the ML, so I don't know if I should start it just for eye candy 😂 Is the story good or are the characters enjoyable tho?
Just rewatched this drama after two years. I can say this drama still brings all those emotions back which I felt when I watched it while it aired. For sure still one of my favorite dramas of all times. Be it Korean, Japanese, American, Chinese etc. I've watched a lot of drama from a variety of countries in my life and this drama is surely in my top 3. It's so well written and the characters are so relatable. I laugh, I cry, I felt anger, happiness... The perfect slice of life drama for sure. This is also my absolute favorite Chinese drama. Sadly there is no other Chinese drama which can even compete with this. I still love it as much as I did two years ago ❤️
Ugh...just couldn't finish episode 2... had to stop and come here to rant because I can't stand any of the town people. How is it even possible to write so many distasteful and annoying characters?
The ML is the only sane and good character here and is described as a jerk and rude by those shitty town people? how? wtf...He's completely reasonable, has a lot of patience and is really polite. He also did right at educating that little kid not to trespass others property, but that annoying of a "cop" claimed he was scolding the kid unfairly. The FL is really annoying. I can't stand her fake smiling/laughing, immature behavior and stalking attitude. And what is actually her job? Definitely not a cop... they trying to make her a version of Hong Banjang of Hometown Cha Cha Cha? Sorry Joy, I love you, but I can't stand your role...
And it was definitely the last straw for me when the SML said that ML was a jerk because he politely refused their offer to tour the town with them. Just how? The ML may seem not approachable, but can someone blame him? The town people are horrible and intrusive, Still the ML was always polite and never rude in any way. He seems to be kind of an introvert as well, so I can relate to him even more, For introverts those people are the worst!
Have a big urge to skip a lot of scenes.... will finish episode 2, but I won't watch any further as of now. This drama did enough to annoy the heck out of me and it were just two episodes with 30 min each lol The writers sure know how to rub u in the wrong way..

I just know the wrestler lol
I love love triangles! XD If they are well written :)
