I find it very interesting how people feel the chemistry is being carried by one or the other main character. I think it is being carried by her. Not that she is all in for him but that she has complex feelings about her response to him.

Perhaps there is something about the story or the choreography of their scenes together. That is not quite gelling.

I am really excited to see where this drama is going to go with the transmigration reincarnation theme.

Yes, that was a good scene about the flute. I recently watched the scene on YouTube. I'm not there in the drama yet.

I never watched married but from the description of his character it sounds like he did a good job with his acting if you hated him so much.

After I watched minglan I tried to find other dramas with FSF. I did try to watch something which seemed very low-tiered. I will have a look at palace listing right now.
He was very beautiful when he was young.

One of the best lines I have heard in a Chinese drama is when he describes her this way. "Her brain is exquisite."

Their relationship is so mutually respectful and tender that I only miss the skinship a little bit . He's so clearly adores her. There are several scenes where he is trying to let her know how much he likes her and those scenes are s*** in themselves.
I am at episode 20 in my rewatch.

Something about a splendid match made me think of rewatching legend of zuohua. I began to think how similar the dramas are and then I found out they have the same screenwriter.

I think legend is a more cohesive drama. I am beginning to be bothered by elements of the jealousy plot in a splendid match. I just read that this drama is adapted from a time travel transmigration novel. It feels as though plot lines have been inserted from the novel without the context that was in the novel and that is jarring for me.

I am rewatching right now and yes it is very funny and the relationship between the two of them is so nice. I like him as an actor. He communicates so much with his eyes and is quite humorous in his acting in a subtle way.

Legend of zhuohua is by same writer and I think is better
stars male lead of Minglan.

I apologize for not posting Previous comments in the right Place. Messaged them to you and now , I can't find them to put them here. I am only now getting used to some of these intricacies of MDL.

I See , I canto post your article under feeds.

It is difficult to stop here but I know I would be unhappy with myself if I continued. I am always curious about what it is that affects my enjoyment of a drama and reiews like yours help me become a more discerning viewer.

So I am watching Dream of Golden Years and that feels like good decision.

I have stopped watching after episode 30. The plot density and pacing is just too much. I had been very much enjoying the character led story. Thank you for your review. A pity since there is so much that is good about this production.

I also did not think the best thing was all that great. The unaddressed boundary violations bothered me to start . It was a while ago I watched it and I can't remember details of why I did not like it but it was not Interesting to me

Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review. I am afraid this drama will be excruciatingly slow for me. I did not like hidden love for that reason. I did like you are my Glory.

I loved sniper butterfly. I thought the psychological nuance was well Done and the themes well delivered.

Shine on me does not sound like a drama.I would enjoy, judging from your review.

I found your review going in through this show page. This is\nThe kind of drama one might miss if 1 went only by the M d l's score And some of the Not very well, thought out reactions to an age gap romance. Reviews like yours.\nAre very helpful to me when I am choosing a drama.

I was looking at some of your other reviews.

One and only is absolutely one of my favorite sad cdramas.

There is something mesmerizing about the setting and pacing of this drama.

The love story is so profound.

I just watched episode 21. I was hanging in there but a scene where they are acknowledgint their love that was so poorly acted by VS was the death knell of this drama for me. I am enjoying the ML very much so this is disappointing. The motivations for the FL are inscrutable.

I agree with you and enjoyed your writing.

I stopped at episode 6(Ming envoy ridiculousness) and then watched the last episode because I wanted to know how the time travel plot would be handled.
As you write, it was a cop out. If this drama had been served up as a satire and better edited, it might have come closer to hitting the mark. As it was, it was a mishmash of genres with clashing transitions between the genres and poor pacing. I am glad I bailed.

I have watched many Asian time travel dramas and recognized elements of Faith, Queen InHyun's Man and there are others I am sure. When this is done without satire it feels very unoriginal. So many lost opportunities in the script and directing.

The very long episodes were the first thing that gave me reservations. I may have watched the middle if the episodes were 45 minutes. I disengaged with the Ming Envoy cooking competitions. I think the reason for the competition could have been signaled as humourous but was not. Who wagers their country's trade relations on a cooking contest? Would have set the stage for a humourous look at international relationships but it fell flat and was not what I wanted anyway from this drama.

Shows that get so many unearned tens deserve an honest thoughtful review for the sake of truth and future watchers. Thank you.
