well said , thanks for the elaborate comment about the main casts, I couldn’t agree w/ u more ! I also find…
Romance is far from my sight atm XD
Zi Jing needs a solid redemption arc before he can be seen in a more favorable light. But that's what makes it exciting—you’re left wondering how they’ll handle his character development. Let’s hope they do it justice! :D
I found the last two episodes fascinating for how they gradually build up Duan Wu’s business sense. The pacing can get a little slow when they dive deep into business talk, but I’m still seated haha! 😄 Zhang Jin Ran seems to be the one helping her keep her kind heart, while Yan Zi Jing keeps reminding her just how tough the world can be. Both are essential influences, each shaping her character in very different ways.
That said, I still can’t bring myself to like Zi Jing... It’s funny because I initially started watching this drama for Liu Yu Ning, but I’m not a fan of his character so far 😂. He has this self-pitying, almost hypocritical vibe that doesn’t sit well with me. His tragic backstory with his family doesn’t make me sympathize with him much either, because honestly, he doesn’t seem much better than the people who destroyed his family.
Yeah I know, he's harsh to Duan Wu for her "sake", but still... the ending of ep 6 felt like he is not better than the Ciu Family enslaving innocent people for pearls. Now with that shark hunting, he's definitely using Duan Wu for it... I can’t wait for Duan Wu to knock some empathy into him!
Mu Sheng's little head tilting gushing slightly away from Miaomiao when she tries for the second time to remove his hairband after getting hurt the first time. He looked like a puppy trying not to hurt her... awww 😢
You know of what reminded me his transformation scene? The manga "Fruits Basket" where Kyo turns into monster without his bracelet and there was a scene a bit similar to this. Fruits Basket was my favourite Manga when I was younger, so I had a lot of nostalgic feelings watching that scene :D
Ep 7 was so good!!! Can't wait for tomorrows episodes. I really like the special effects in this drama. Reminded me of Dragon Ball transformation today haha 😂
Okay hold up... I just tried this drama on a whim and I‘m on ep 3 now. Didn't expect anything since tbh this is not my kind of drama in any way, but this is actually good! It's unhinged and hilarious 😂 Just look at those dust demons! I was fallin' out of the bed laughing 😂
The only other drama I've liked of Esther is MJTY, since I usually don't like the cutesy characters she plays, but I adore her in this one! Her expressions are hilarious 😆
This is actually a breath of fresh air amidst the darker dramas I've been watching lately! :D
..... that bland confession and "kiss", if you can call it like that, is a huge crime. Like what hinders the production crew to give us a well-deserved kiss worthy their chemistry? I mean, if I would be the screenwriter or director, I would be ashamed 🙈 That confession was also kinda lame and emotionless for a couple with usual much more fire...
I had dozen more butterflies when she threw that megaphone out of his hands in earlier episodes than with this lame scene lol
Overall good emotional episode, but again... writers fail to meet the expectation in the last episodes. Dumbing down characters. Like how could Da On not be suspicious of that out-of-character farewell of Bit Na? Or what was the point of her underlings to go to Da On to ask to save Bit Na? Like he couldn't have done anything to help anyway. He's just human. And what's the point of doing so after the verdict?
Really solid first episodes! Much darker than I expected but I enjoyed it and acting is superb! Looking forward for more :D
ML is highly unlikable as of now. I'm curious how they will redeem his character so a romance between him and FL is even possible. Because he's just a big red flag right now and a hypocrite. Doesn't care for innocent lives while doing his revenge whatsoever. So really curious about his character development :D Hope they do it believable and not a sudden 180° change.
That was the most forced bs writing ever lol Made me sick to my stomach and destroyed her character...
You mean 180° :D Yeah, the writing for her character was nonsense... and that CP didn't deserve an ounce of love nor the peaceful ending he got. More frustrating than the ending of this drama imo 😅
This is actually a nice casual watch. Nothing to biggy, but something light to pass time. After all the Cdrama masssacres lately, this is nice to watch for a change hahaha XD There are boring scenes that I just skip, but I like the couple scenes and I actually do like the main lead couple more than the second lol
Second couple is slow burn, but repetitive and frustrating and just not yet together for the sole sake of not being together. The acting is wonderful tho and I understand why people are more immersed with the 2nd couple.
The mains have a steady relationship, so people can get bored easily. But I actually find them cute and I got fond of the ML actor. Haven't seen him in anything, but he has really cute expressions. Like a puppy, but also smudge smile... Don't know how to explain, but I like his face hahaha 😂
I don't understand either... Even the novel writer was merciful, even though ML in novel was apparently more evil and didn't deserve a HE, but he got one.
But here ML actually deserved a HE and FL didn't deserve to die like his, but they didn't want to give them a happy ending... Even the CP, who was the most despicable person in this drama, had a more peaceful ending than our leads did. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE! Sadistic screenwriters!

But one last thing: Wei was the MVP of this drama! 😂
I guess I was just hopeful because of the "undying flower" and that the novel had a happy ending, but you can't even count on OG novel nowadays 😅
Sometimes there will be at least one drama giving us a good memory till the end, right? :')
