I don't subscribe to it.

I am not an iQiyi subscriber. Where can I get hold of ep 41 please? I tried looking for it.

Thanks.

I just watched ep 32 to 40 the lasg 2 days. I purposely waited till all the episodes were released on viki.

It wasn't bad at all. I had read the comment so knew what was happening. However the episodes flowed pretty seamlessly. This show was as good from ep 1 till ep 40 storywise.

I am satisfied. There were SO MANY comments about the 2ML. I am not a fan of Ye Xian from the beginning and I was honestly shocked I cried for him. His was an excellent ending. Great send off for a 2nd lead. Actually one of the best written scene for most historical dramas when they kill off people. I actually rated the drama higher because of it.

This has been an excellent watch from beginning to the end.

I finished it. I can't believe I am writing this but the director has some weird camera angles and close up for the ML. Its looking, looking too close and has managed to emphasise any facial asymmetry. Luckily he has great skin.

The FL is slim. She must be very, very slim and have a small face in real life. She is extremely attractive even by Korean beauty standards but she is waif- life slim on camera for the cameraman so must be very petite in real life.

Yeah that camera work and zoom in by the camera person was just in your face annoying. They even made Kim Bum old and unattractive. Was the filter too bright?

The thing is I was absolutely in love with the FL's voice the whole drama that's why I finished it. The writing has not been the best.

There was zero resolution to the 2ML family story. Where does he go in the future? The swanning off into the sunset/ or Inchon airport in this case was super lame.

I just returned from SK last month after buying all the usual cosmetics and Iaughed at the the product launch spiel. That's what I read when I was Googling what I buy.

I actually rewatched the beginning of ep 7 a few times for the acting and the comedy. Man the couple have insane chemistry. I laughed so much at the beginning. I don't recall watching him in any other drama before. When he mentioned his voice I nearly died. His inner monologue and secret smiles are just to die for.

Im Je Yeon just goes all out. I love Sin Seo Ri. She is so honest and looks after herself

Yes it was You are my glory. I watch that drama whenever I want the fuzzy wuzzies.

I am on ep 5. I watched ep 30 to see how it ends. I liked it enough to start on episode 1.

I have come in expecting a slow burn but since I like the cast am happy being entertained.

So yeah I am not grumbling. Miles Wei is now my default male lead when I am in the mood for a romance.

However Zheng He Hui Zi is harder to get used to. I have probably rewatched the class reunion scene in Love like the galaxy about 50 times. I have probably reconciling her personality there and the mature adult here.

Xu Xiao Song and Liu Mao are so cute together. I also like the cocky and manipulative male lead. Their chemistry is just insane. I was laughing at the hospital scenes. I do like a sneaky hero. He is going through hoops pretending he is not interested. The friend is such a great wingman I forgot they even met for a blind date. When he called him the " the 1000 year old sly fox " I actually repeated it a few times. The actor really knows how to deliver the lines.

The push pull interactions right now are so amusing. Why rush into the romance so fast?

Well I didn't sugarcoat things.

There were obvious age gaps in other dramas. I also checked the ages of the potential couples. One is 10 years apart.

This is a situation where Netizens have commented about an idol's baby face but having a body of a beast.

The actors looked older than their age but their physique shows that they go to the gym. I recognise weights training work. However their usual roles in Kdramas are of a secondary characters but it doesn't require them to be so full on romantics. That's jarring and hilarious at the same time. Yoon Byung Hee is a wonderful actor but a love at first sight fool for love?

Nah.

Ok, reconstructing the food scene seems to be my obsession now.

Putting aside the smell of cooking giving away your position and defeating the squad putting up camouflaged tents and face paint aside ok?

Did you guys know that the Korean soldier have heat activated packs to heat up their army meals? They also have packs where you just pour in hot water to rehydrate meals.

Just sayin'

I know this is based on a manhwa. This episode made me laugh. This is a situation where dark lighting is justified. You know how you watch other dramas where the leads are walking in the dark but there are obvious spotlights around? This episode really had dark forests and trails. I chuckled quite a bit because the actors will think tbis is just like reservist training.

The parody for the Kpop group was quite, quite funny. I didn’t realise their short army hairstyles could be slicked into Kpop idol hair. That Major is the only one who had the smooth moves. Isn't he a musical actor? The actors were just a tad more stiff. I went to one of the largest S Korean military festival less than 2 years ago and watched the ordinary soldiers doing their Kpop performances. No they were not anyone famous doing their National Service. They were really dancing well and confidently. Its just in their hands, their slides and their body movement.

Man this drama is entertaining.

Yung Byung Hee is 44 and Jo Bok Rae is 39.

I have been watching dramas with actors their age and older.

So why is it I am freaking out- ok slighly perturbed- when they are wearing showing shoulders and arms and having a romantic storyline?

Its like discovering your grandfather has a libido or something. Their arms and physique look young but didn't they look after their complexions because they were always playing secondary characters?

Not today because my persimmons were firm. I need to get down to the fresh fruit market to find those soft overripe persimmon. I actually have ALL the ingredients for tteokbokki except for the persimmon. I cannot work out if I would actually like the taste. If you didn't notice that tteokbokki is an extremely dark coloured sauce. Its not usually so dark.

Good grief. There really is a persimmon tteokbokki recipe.

Now what? I am a good cook and I can cook a nice tteokbokki and I have persimmons in my fridge. I am super tempted now to make. Its the firm variety though and apparently you cube it for crunch.

Thanks. I will google the comic

This drama might actually be too exciting for me. They actually get into life threatening danger in every episode. That's a new concept to me.

I thought its just a time travel, transmigration chaebol drama but the brother is straight out evil. He is not even just trying to ruin him but to kill.

Geez.

And yeah those 2 together just light up the screen. He is all smouldering and grouchly grumpy and she is all fire and sass. Korean FLs are usually not sassy. They do the irritating helpless, goody 2 shoes, stupid, idiotic, arrogant, interfering, saint- like, powerless, oh- woe- is- me, bullied persona. This lady is just stomping all over everyone with a smile. And is it a smirk?

They make me laugh.

Ci Sha is a man.

CYY is a man who can actually think. His looks actually matches the plot. I have seen generals and martial arts fighters who don't even look as if they have toned arms and zero quads.

He has chemistry with this FL.

He doesn't act childishly. He actually acts as if he has some brains to be a Minister and not those pretty boy actors who look 18 and then stomp and yell.

CYY is dependable and marriageable. He is the complete package. He also has some curl to his hair and it doesn't look like all hair extensions.

So yeah this actor is sexy as. Thank god he was in this drama because by God I love the actress too. The casting for this drama has been superb.

He is almost 30. He is a minister. Not a 22 year old actor. If you call a 29 year old man an Uncle then the age gap is real then because that's how old a CEO or boss man should be. Not a smooth complexion scrawny kid who only only knows how to sip whisky at a bar. Or someone who doesn’t know how to kiss. Or who is so young he is absolutely powerless and can't even kick anyone or fight because they are 180cm and only 60kg.

* its the fans*

I wasn't surprised. I was more surprised he had a heroic death and his story actually had a plot. I thought he was another 2ML story filler.

I mean 35 good episodes are 35 good episodes.

I think relatively low number of people died. The acting was good, the costumes and background was absolutely spot on perfect. The directing was good.

The ones that gets higher are some of the trillers or investigative dramas but they are no t the genre I like.

Its been a great historical drama. Didn't anyone realise that this drama didn't have any bad actors? If the writing became a little meandering its because people wanted things to go a certain way.

The freaking number of last 2 min reunion, open ended endings, people giving up their family or titles, living in exile, changing their identity, living in seclusion, everyone in their family dying? There are astounding numbers of mediocre dramas.

This wasn't one of those.

Can someone who likes the drama do the reviews because it sure isn't being done by those who liked the whole series.

I am waiting for episodes to drop on viki.

I stopped at ep 25 last week and only watched ep 26 to 32 yesterday. I read some spoilers yesterday and ran to ep 34's ending.

I am busy today so will keep ep 32 to 40 till tomorrow so I can marathon in peace.

The reason I posted is that I didn't understand this spoiler. What does FH stand for?

I will now stop reading
spoilers so I can enjoy the
8 episodes in peace. I have
been really satisfied with
this drama. It has kept my
interest for 32 episodes.
That is amazing in itself. It
has to be sky falling down
bad for me to rant when
ep 40 ends.

I am now going back to My Royal Nemesis, Perfect Crown and Zhan Zhao adventures. Plus finishing off ep 46-73 of The Story of Ming Lan.

Does anyone have any other drama to recommend? I will have nothing except the Zhan Zhao Adventures next week and the 2 Kdramas. I don't see anything except the new Yang Zi and Elvis drama. Is that any good? Thanks.

Or.... I could just rewatch this but I don’t think so because I do like Ci Sha but I need to see him in a different role

They had enough daytime bedroom breaks post marriage. I didn't know why he was surprised. I was surprised at how many bedroom moments there were in ep 31 and 32.

Kdramas shows couples brushing teeth, going for walks, cooking and this drama had constant conversations stopping because they start kissing.
