Dorama

It's OK. Everyone has different preferences. I watched MLC, and it became one of my all-time favorite and I just added the Story of Kunning Palace to that list also.

I'm on rewatch and saw your comment. there are 2 endings to this drama. It's 48 + 2 episodes. Ep.49 ends on a happy ending thanks to her bracelet. Ep.50 ends on a sad one, in here he didn't see her like in the ending of ep.48, he just sat there and finally accepts that she is gone😭.
You can choose your preferred ending😅

I'm on rewatch and read some comments below saying it's a sad ending. This aired in 2018 and some people didn't know about the additional 2 episodes for the finale.

There are 2 endings for this drama. Its 48 + 2(extra/special/extended/additional) episodes.

it has two endings. So it's 48 + 2 (extra/special/extended) episodes. So you can pick what ending you prefer.

It's 48 + 2 special/extra/extended episodes. The additional 2 is for the ending.
The director has a brilliant mind for giving us two endings. So it's up to us what ending to pick😆. If all dramas are like this(with 2 endings), then all those tears and angst are all worth it😅

Ah yes. As for the HK version, I wasn't able to finish it as I do not like the way it's going and it's so makjang.

And not focused on the medical area.

Other actors experienced this too. Joseph Zeng was criticized for acting with big eyes, Zhang Wang Yi was called out for not being handsome, even Yang Zi was told not pretty enough as FL in Lost You Forever. And just recently Liu Yuning received negative feedback that his looks are not male lead material. Sometimes people can be too harsh. I just hope those actors don't bow down to these haters.

Secret's OST's are so good. I still have it on my playlist haha.

I just watched episode 1 and got hooked!
Ok, I'm going to make myself some coffee first.

wow,spot on haha.
I am also on rewatch and this time not on the rush but actually just enjoying everything.

yes, while many praised his portrayal of Xie Wei some are being negative and say that his portrayal of the character is 'too scary', so he doubted himself and also questioned if he really understood the character. He even apologized.

Yes, I agree that they made his character realistic. He's learning, and his acting has improved. I like those microexpressions and nuances he is able to give now to the character he portrays. With MJTY, Bright Eyes in the Dark, Tiger and Crane and the just finished filming of Si Hai Zhong Min I can say 2023 is his year. Looking forward to his dramas. And as always, Bai Lu is ❤️

I love this drama to bits, and I don't know why😅.It's not perfect; in fact, it has not many but some flaws, yet somehow it appeals to me more strongly than any in the same genre of this year's costume C-dramas. It's not the actors visuals that captivate me; maybe it's the story, maybe it's the cinematography, maybe it's how they somehow knew each other's schemes but not their feelings; or maybe it's the curiosity of how their hate-to-love story unfolds. But whatever it is, this drama managed to draw me in.

I hope Zhang Ling He won't take to heart those negative feedback and instead take it as an inspiration to be a better actor. As for me, since Maiden Holmes, he keeps on improving.

Life After Death 2020. Dr Koo is a character inspired by Dr. Park Si-on.
Though HK version is more of makjang ahaha. It's more on their love story.

Maybe I'll edit it out?

yes,it's happy ending. Zhang Zhe is not the villain.

Since Maiden Holmes Zhang Ling He never disappoints🤩. He keeps improving.

I hope he won't take to heart the negative feedback he got on his portrayal of Xie Wei and keep on accepting challenging roles.

I got fooled by the title. I took a break from the angsty drama Story of Kunning Palace, so while looking for something in my Plan to Watch folder to clear my head of all the angst, I saw Daily Dose of Sunshine and thought that it was lighthearted. I took the title literally, thinking PBY is literally a walking Sunshine to her patients, and dang! I was fooled! haha. Episode 1, and I find myself crying. It was 12 episodes (I'm glad that it's just 12eps) I cried in each episode.

I could relate so much to the Kim Sung Sik case when I watched that episode. I took a step back and asked, What did I just get myself into? I watch this drama to take a break from an angsty one, but lo, it's a heavy one. I disassociated myself from the cases, as I might 'drown' into them, and focused on the story, especially on the psych team and how they deal with their work and their life outside work.

Kim Seowan: When I watched his final scene, I was reminded of Looney from Prison Playbook. He tried really hard, but he was beaten by his mental illness. So is Looney; he tried so hard and did his best to stop and stay away from drugs, but he really couldn't run from it.They had no control over their situation, which is why they end up like that.

Though, IMO, the writer should not let Jung Da-eun get ill too, I want her at least to be their sunshine, like walking sunshine. But I guess the writer wants to convey that there is a thin line between mental healthcare and mental illness, that anyone can have it, and no one is immune to it.

As someone who has suffered from mental illness, this drama hits home. More dramas like this are an eye-opener for people who think lightly of mental illness and think that it is just in the mind.

I guess I have to rewatch Meet Yourself or Hometown Cha Cha Cha as my healing drama before continuing the Story of Kunning Palace, haha.

Another must-see drama for 2023.

I got confused about the names being changed at first too, haha, because that's not the case in the novel. But it is said that TLI is from a different drama prod. and they didn't have a right to use the names from ALP as it was bought by the ALP prod.

Anyways, happy watching🤩

ALP is the prequel. It tells the story of ShangGu and Bai Jue while The Last Immortal focuses on their son, Yuan Qi and the phoenix Feng Yin. If you watch ALP you'll notice that they changed the characters' name from ALP in TLI. It is probably due to copyright issue. And if you haven't seen ALP, it's OK as TLI is not that heavily tied to its prequel, and you can follow along the story. I watched ALP, and it's good, you know it's your typical xianxia drama full of angst.Haha. I am watching TLI now and it's also interesting. So far it's good. I don't know why some are pissed about the cast, I think they're fine.

OCN is my go to channel for suspense,thriller and mystery drama.
