not big fan of both leads thats why hesitant about this drama also fact that 40 looks draggy a bit to me (i've…
I was also hesitant at first, the poster didn't even draw me in but I decided to give it a try after reading the write up. Its not your perfect drama and you may question certain elements so it does come with flaws however the part I enjoyed and liked was our ML's character Xie Wei/Xie Juan, he's definitely not our typical upright, straight laced hero, he's ruthless, cunning, forceful, unapologetic, has a controlling and possessive nature, almost villainous...almost lol for me anyways because he's not completely aggressive about his plans and very level headed in his political schemes, but he's damn smart and witty as hell, always 5 steps ahead if not more, even when you think he's lost, he surprises you, I definitively enjoyed watching this character as this type was new to me, I'm so used to watching the "typical romantic hero" type, but not here, He's almost the opposite, definitely someone you would avoid if you came across him. So much so that I am looking for other dramas with this character type that explore more gray characters. Some other characters also grew on me and the story was also easy to follow, overall I enjoyed it
Enjoyed the overall take, was refreshing and realistic. Not what I expected looking at the poster so had little expectations, but definitely came out enjoying this one
I don't mind what they did with the story but there was absolutely zero chemistry with Hua Rong Zhou. His character…
I thought it was just me 😂 everytime he fought it annoyed me so much, he fought the lead guard in the master's compound so they were claiming he had decent fighting skill but you still get your ass kicked to the point of almost passing out by one punch/kick on multiple occasions - that really didn't make sense to me and irritated me. Overall though I did enjoy the drama, was a refreshing take.
Yes, a lot at the end didn't make sense. The emperor really annoyed me as well, like you said bipolar. His views changed so fast based on one persons statement, and a lesser important one (because CZ just became a higher ranking minister towards the end, but he was a disciple of Xu Jinfu for years, CZ would be influenced by him whether directly or indirectly - the emperor wasn't thinking - how much did he trust his words to make that decision, - the emperor really lost his sense there)
At first, i just found CZ just an annoying person, but toward the end he became hateful and shameful..
He presence didn't affect me at the beginning. He was just there at first, I was just so neutral towards him trying to exist, but towards the end he became so selfish and fed more into his delusions so he started pissing me off. He treated HY as property (without even asking her opinion about the marriage or how she feels), just go directly to the emporer to plant suspicion and get a decree that not only benefits him but hurts the woman he "supposedly" loves - selfish
Seriously. He is infuriating. At one point I almost thought he redeemed himself then he went psycho. I lost all…
Omg, I felt the same about CZ. I was relieved when he stood up against XuJinfu, but he just went back to his selfish delusions, wth, I was so annoyed. Regardless of the imperfections over all I did enjoy it, I will miss our dudu and He Yan 😌
After watching this movie and being very moved by it, I fell down a rabbit hole watching both seasons of the anime...
Same, initially I didn't even know it was an anime, just watched this and loved it, later I found the anime and saw a second season was released also 🙂
The picky drama watcher has returned: I treat most cdramas like speed dates… but Love Between Fairy and Devil?…
Lol agreed, it's definitely one of those dramas where you savour ever second of it. It's the first historical fantasy I didn't feel like fast forwarding through.
Some other characters also grew on me and the story was also easy to follow, overall I enjoyed it
