A Slow Pois0n You Can’t Resist
After watching Episode 8: first word- brilliant. This is the kind of drama where the research and authenticity are top-level; you can clearly feel the realism and the characters’ intellect, and it naturally grabs your attention. It’s a slow-burn poison, where things move carefully and deliberately. I’m loving the direction and performances, they’re truly fantastic.The music is also very uniquely scored; it has its own identity compared to others. It deals with a wide range of emotions. Till now, for the most part, we’ve gone through struggles, harshness, and hardships, but even within that, there’s humor that prevents the drama from tipping into depression. That’s the genius of the maker.
I love how they don’t want it to be just sad and heavy, but rather about growth and resilience. So I’m enjoying it to the fullest and really loving the dynamics that have been established. I can’t wait to see how Ji Feng begins his work, the steps he takes to make it impactful and real, and how Xi Mi Yu will play a larger role in this.
Just one complaint, why only two episodes a day? It’s killing me. Joker’s part, I’ll write my other thoughts later. Till then, happy watching.

Unique KDrama
Starting is quite interesting and very very unique concept for me, after watching many kdrama I found it is quite different concept and full of engaging scenes with superb cinematography. All actors doing great job. Omg kim ji won what a beauty can't blinck my eyes for sec & ji chang wook i can say that one of the great k actor. 1st EP is interesting fun watching with little Loofols. After watching 1st episode it looks like it has a great writing and what can you say about its director one of the best director of k directing. Usually kdramas have 16 EP but it has 12 EP with 30min each but its 30min equals to a full episode of other dramas due to it's superb direction with great screenplay. Looking forward to next EP I hope that has much more fun than the current ep. After writing this I can say that It's worth watching I can bet on that you can't regret after starting the drama. Don't miss............!!!!!!!!!!Thank you.

MID, AND WEAK (dropping it)
after watching Episode 1: honestly, disappointing. I came in because of Elvira Cai, expecting something engaging with solid drama, but it turned out really bad. One of the worst directions I’ve seen in any drama. The director clearly doesn’t understand what this drama is supposed to be, so the nuances, setting, and overall environment just don’t land right.The writing and character interactions are nothing special, and it all feels like the work of an immature director. It’s hard to ignore so many mistakes. For example, that boat scene... they used a body double (which is normal in dramas and movies), but it was so obvious you could instantly tell it wasn’t her. That’s poor direction. It might not seem like a big deal, but I just can’t unsee things like that. My instinct tells it's not going in the right direction there's no thrill or excitement at all in the entire episode.
On top of that, the camera angles are off, the execution feels weak, and the production value is very mid. Overall, I just can’t push myself to continue this. I think I need to drop it here.
