have you heard of marking spoilers? why ruin shit for people?
And for many people it's a good thing as they want to know if the dama has a happy or a sed ending, so I indirectly told everyone that its a happy ending
Everything is very good and well-written, but I couldn't understand one thing: how did the Crown Prince come back…
I did a reasearch, The novel explains it much better than the drama. In the novel, the Crown Prince never actually dies—he stages his death during the coup because of his long-term poisoning and to carry out his plans safely. Everyone believes he's dead while he secretly recovers, and he returns years later. The drama either rushed or omitted that explanation, so his sudden comeback feels random and confusing if you've only watched the adaptation.
Everything is very good and well-written, but I couldn't understand one thing: how did the Crown Prince come back from the dead? If he didn't actually die during the coup, why did they portray it as if he was dead? Then, all of a sudden, he comes back at the end!
I was actually satisfied with the Crown Prince's death and the direction the drama seemed to be taking, but his sudden return completely messed with my mind.
It's a pretty average drama. The only reason it's worth watching is because of the main leads; otherwise, it's…
Just because you criticize something doesn't mean you hate it or that you're lying about watching it. Not every drama is going to be the same for everyone, and everyone has the right to share their opinion. It's just that when it comes to picking a really good drama, I'm a tough critic.
You did not watch it. Because the leads never got together to break up first of all THE ENTIRE POINT was that…
They never got together??? They were together from the very first episode. At first, they considered themselves siblings and friends, but after the male lead's father died and the female lead's mother left her because of that scandal, they started depending on each other. That's when Chen Ye had to go to Zhang Bin to earn some money. For Miao zings tution fees.
What about the junkyard kissing scene in the rain? Then, after some time, the fire accident happened, and Chen Ye had to send the female lead away for six years.
I can explain every single detail to you... or should I keep going???

I've watched more dramas than you probably have in your entire life, so I can tell the difference between a well-written drama and a messy one. You said they never got together at first, but then why did they kiss so many times before Episode 28? Episode 28 is when it finally feels like they officially become a couple, but the earlier romantic scenes only confuse the viewers. And do you really think the villain in this drama feels tense or intimidating? I certainly don't.
It's a pretty average drama. The only reason it's worth watching is because of the main leads; otherwise, it's a waste of time.
I didn't understand the sudden story changes or the time skips. Moreover, the plot becomes confusing because the main leads keep breaking up and getting back together. The villain aspect the drama tries to portray feels forced and never creates any real tension.
It's a decent drama with a decent storyline, but it's not the kind of show you can binge-watch for hours. It took me 5 days to finish because it didn't keep me fully engaged throughout. Overall, I'd give it a 7/10.
The plot has sunk to such a low level that even if the female lead ends up with the male lead, or we finally get some sweet, lovey-dovey moments between them, I genuinely wouldn't feel impressed. At this stage, it's just made me hate the FL even more, and I'm completely done with this dragged-out love triangle.
Man, the way they handle the romance is what kills me. They take so much time carefully building up this genuine connection and tension between the two leads — it's actually working, you're rooting for them, the chemistry feels real. Then out of nowhere they just blow it all up for 'conflict' or whatever. Forced, annoying, whatever you want to call it. And the worst part? Instead of moving forward or letting the characters actually grow from it, they hit reset and start the same damn slow-burn, getting-to-know-you arc all over again. Like... why? It comes off super lazy, super frustrating, and honestly just like stalling because they don't know what to do next or don't want real consequences to last. Ugh f**k f**k f**k I can't take it anymore
Big part of most East Asian dramas and movie plots. Might be a cultural thing to struggle to express certain emotions…
They spend forever building this really sweet, believable chemistry between the leads — like, you actually buy it and get invested. Then bam, they just wreck it all for some cheap drama. And after that? They try to restart the exact same slow-burn thing from scratch. It's so lazy and annoying, feels like the writers are just dragging it out instead of letting anything real happen or stick
The plot was so good that I had to watch it on 2x speed or sometimes even 2.5x...I like the Main leads acting but have to admit that I don't want to watch it again in my whole life
Sincerely, this drama was too long. Although the leading actors and supporting actors had good performances, the second male lead (2nd ML) and female lead (FL) did not click—their romance was forced and not believable. Neither did the writing help; the plot was slow, and comedy frequently failed as if the director was telegraphing when to laugh through overplayed background music instead of actual humor.
The drama had a hard time creating tension, and the only several impressive scenes kept me interested. The final 12 episodes attempted to get the stakes higher, but the execution was so slow and uninspired that I completely lost interest. What could have been an emotional or suspenseful climax instead became a chore—I wound up rushing through just to be done with it. A disappointing conclusion to what could have been so much tighter and more gripping of a story.
stfu there was no need to hate just because u don't like it😂😭
I’m just being honest here—I never hated this drama you dumb a&&!. I just don’t think it deserves all the hype. Honestly, it felt like they stretched it too much. It could’ve easily been wrapped up in 26 episodes instead of dragging it out to 36
