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!
The romance focused audience is the most blind audience that doesn’t focus on detail, a destroyer of good ratings…
Sry, but how was this ending more creative or original? It follows the exact same usual massacre of killing likable side characters off in the last episodes and SE for leads I've seen in other dramas lately. What was so creative about it?
A lot of things didn't make sense in this drama, so a HE wouldn't be nonsensical either. Also if I wanted to watch "real life", then I would go watch documentaries lol
I'm not against a SE per se, if it's not forced. But the trope to make the leads as miserable as they can, kill every loved-one off and eventually kill the leads... it's so sadistic lol
Even if it would've been a HE, this drama rapidly lost its momentum the moment the revenge arc was done. Even a HE couldn't have saved it...
Don't know why screenwriters think they can write better stories than the OG novel writer... because they simply don't. Just stick to the fkn novel!
The second half was such a boring mess and full of clichés. It ended with the usual massacre with killing every likable character off. And Luo Mei and her love for that mass murderer psycho CP made me sick to my stomach. That was so forced and laughable...
Of course no HE for the leads, because that's forbidden in the Chinese historical or Wuxia universe lol Kill them all off! YES! Here we go again lol Sry, but it's just so ridiculous. One can't just watch a good drama without having the same lame ending all over again.
Still don't regret watching this. First half was a masterpiece, lead couple was on fire and acting of leads was amazing!
Neo went through strict diet to meet the requirements of director GJM as he prefers thin ML who can carry his…
They film for so long??!! And with thick layers? As a thin person myself, I would collapse... My gosh, I feel bad for the people who work in this kind of industry. I respect how actors do anything for their craft.
I saw some clips of his other dramas, but I think in this drama, he looks so completely different. I guess it's also part of make-up.
He was literally glowing in "When we were young" haha So his appearance here just caught me off guard 😂
I think i remember hmh fans said (correct me ?) gjm asked him to get a strict diet for this demon role, poor boy…
It definitely seems like a lot of weight-loss as well. He was really thin to begin with. I feel bad for him and hope he gets back to a weight he feels comfortable with. I respect the way actors do anything to their body for the craft, but imo he looked much healthier and better before. Still good-looking and great actor for sure. Just have to get used to it :D
Is it the makeup, weight-loss or PS? ML looks unrecognizable to me ... I only watched "When we were young" with him and I loved that drama. I was trippin when I couldn't recognize him here :O I mean... yeah it's been 6 or more years since that drama, but to change that much... I mean, he's still good looking, but he looked absolutely gorgeous in that other drama. Have to get used to this look of his. But it fits the character of his demon role very much :D
I was counting down the days to finally binge episodes 19-24, after being so busy I couldn’t catch up sooner. Today was *the* day and I dove in with so much excitement… only to be left totally disappointed by how the story unfolded. It’s like I was riding this incredible high with episodes 1-18, only for it to nosedive, fast.
Not that they were terrible episodes, but they just didn’t live up to the magic of the first half. The whole Xiyan storyline felt so sloppily introduced and I honestly couldn’t care less. The revenge arc? Rushed and barely satisfying. And don’t get me started on the marriage plot—ugh, it felt so out of character for Mei Lin and I just hate it.
So many things I didn't like about the latest few episodes, but I will keep it for myself...
I feel like I could just cry… How do writers keep letting me down like this? Either I've become too picky and hard to please lately or writers just really don't know how to write stories that actually stay engaging all the way through.
I don't even care if it has a happy ending anymore 😂 It’s kind of wild how quickly my attachment to a drama can just vanish. Yesterday, I was on cloud nine, totally obsessed with it—and now, I’m actually relieved that it’s almost over. Just sad 🥲

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? :')
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...

Haven't watched Wonderland of Love yet. Will definitely do that! :D
