For some reason I am not being permitted to reply to specific comments, so I have decided to just post this generally and hope that anyone interested will see it. Enjoy! 😊
I watched the BillkinPP cut of this after finding out they were in this series. I regret it, I definitely should…
Someone posted the BillkinPP cut on Facebook and it almost got me to watch this until I read what you wrote here...thank you for saving me the trouble! 👍
Cute so far...I'm on episode 4 right now and so far not bored. I'm reading all of these other reviews and it cracks me up every time I read how 'atypical' (not 'untypical...that is not a word...) it is to have a strong female lead in these dramas. Between this one, Queen of Tears, Impossible Heir, Wedding Impossible, It's Okay To Not Be Okay, Longing For You, and some others I'm watching right now, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM has a strong female lead. What's not typical is to have a male lead who serves as nothing but a foil for the female. Now that's a drama I would watch with a smile on my face. A fully fleshed out male lead whose main purpose of existence isn't just to showcase how much stronger and smarter and better in every way than him the female next to him is. I'd pay an enormous amount of money to watch that!
Agreed. She's plain awful and the way she behaved towards her family is disgraceful. But even her portrayal was…
How ironic is it that, had Mei Xin sold her off the way she'd originally intended, she might actually have turned out to be a better person after all, without all of the spoiling she received growing up. I know that isn't nice of me to say, but I can't help thinking it. 🤔
I would say FL. It was more of a 51-49 situation for me between FL & ML.
If I remember correctly (it's been a couple of months since I watched this drama) there is a point in an early episode where she outright acknowledged to him that she wouldn't be able to beat him in a fight. I could be wrong...🤔
Wow! This series (and some people's reactions to it)...I have to say, I am dumbfounded. Never in my life have I ever watched something where almost every single character is more despicable than the next. It sort of reminds me of And Then There Were None, where everyone is just plain horrible. And I suppose that with a drama in which everyone is just plain awful, it makes sense that some of the people watching it and commenting on it are just plain awful as well. It makes sense...🤔
I am on episode 45 and have just watched Chacha-er writing and then destroying her note to her family and I can only say that I absolutely hate her. I know that the propaganda for these series is that everyone should be willing to give up their families and everything and everyone they love for the Communist cause, but I am not a Communist. So I can only think in terms of the family and how devastated they must be while she selfishly eats her bun with a big smile not giving a shit about any of them. I can only hope that she dies. I seriously mean that. What a selfish little bitch! Communism is truly a tool of the devil himself.
This is the greatest review of anything that I have ever read in my life! I almost want to watch this drama just to be able to appreciate the review better...😏
The drama was good overall, I was taken by surprise when I discovered it was a harem, I have nothing against it,…
I just finished watching this series this morning and I have to say that I agree with everything you've said here. Perhaps it's because I am a man that I am not offended by the harem (they've existed throughout history and still exist in some countries today. Just a fact of life). I am particularly in agreement with you regarding your misgivings with regard to the character of Li Huan. The Yan family hinted at some involvement in her father's death, as well as the death of a provincial governor, but then it went nowhere. I was intrigued at first. Them felt rather let down. There didn't seem to be any real direction for her character, and, after bidding farewell to the scholar fellow, her story just sort of drifted away into nothingness. Rather disappointing, I felt. Also, the rather too neat wrap up of the Yan family's ultimate fate was disappointing as well. It felt rushed and for me fell flat.
All in all, I found it to be a fairly amusing drama with some very amusing aspects (the rivalry between the two fathers was hilarious...), but definitely nothing to be taken seriously at all. Just some light amusement between better dramas, I'd say.
Damn...your review is so good.. I cant sit down and watch illogical plots... especially crime series. I hate dramas…
Oh yes! The guards are supposed to be escorting him off to prison but they figured, why not take a short break and allow the psycho killer a few moments to share his thoughts with the judge and jury? 😂😂😂 I really had to suspend my understanding of all logic and common sense to get through the entire court scene. It was all just one big sloppy mess!
I don't blame you for not being able to get past this episode. But I can only say that this episode was the absolute worst the series had to offer. Things do get (slowly) progressively better. I won't claim that there is no more silliness...there is a boatload of it! But I still did find it entertaining in the end. Maybe one day if you're bored enough (or drunk enough...😏), and you don't have anything else to do, you might give it another try...from episode 3. 😉

Whilst I stand by my initial judgement with regard to the earlier episodes, I have to say that it gets progressively better as the series continues. I've just finished episode 11 and only suddenly realised that I think I forgot to breathe for about ten minutes! 😂 This series is definitely more than a must watch, I think it borders on something pretty phenomenal. I didn't expect this at all when I wrote my earlier comment. I am extremely pleasantly surprised. I recommend you give it a try after all...just overlook the silliness and outright stupidity of the first couple of episodes, and then enjoy the ride!
I have to write this or else I am going to go out of my mind. I have only just finished watching episode 2 and, honestly, the Mack Truck-sized plotholes are giving me agita!
A judge discovers that an escaped murderer has the addresses of several of the jurors whom he had just threatened to kill only a few hours ago. Does he call his brother the police officer in charge of capturing him, so that he'll know where to look for him? Of course not. Does he arrange for protection for the jurors? Not a chance. So what does he do? He texts the jurors telling them to take care of themselves. Does he at least warn them that the killer might have their addresses? Why ever would he do that? That would only make sense.
A cop shoots but does not kill a dangerous escaped killer. Does he immediately secure the criminal before tending to the completely unharmed victim? Absolutely not! In fact, he turns his back on the very much still alive and dangerous criminal to tend to the perfectly fine and also very much alive hostage victim, thereby getting himself a proper stab in the back from aforementioned criminal.
Cops are pointing their guns at a dangerous criminal who is threatening to pour gasoline all over and set the place on fire. Do they shoot him in order to prevent this? Not a chance! Instead they go running and screaming like girls (waving the aforementioned guns in the air on the way down the steps!) It's the Keystone Cops: Korean style!
This frigging show is killing me. If episode 3 is this bad, I'm done with this series.
