Wonderland of Love

drama notes:
Wonderland of love had some of the best chemistry i’ve seen in a main couple that I was excited and fulfilled when watching their characters on screen. Unfortunately, this was ruined time and time again with unnecessary and repetitive conflict. The villains and the emperor lacked some serious braincells and with as much camera time as they allowed, I was in a rush to finish this drama once and for all.
We do get a very happy ending and satisfying last episode (at the very least), however to get there requires some serious patience + preserverance.
rating: 6.5

“I, Li Ni, for my whole life will marry only Cui Lin. When she lives, she's my only wife. When she dies, she's also, only my wife.

⸢ rating scale ⸥

How do I rate dramas?

Since I usually watch dramas that include a romance tag, I rate dramas based on the romantic feel, soundtrack, acting and storytelling

10: A Cinematic Masterpiece	While there is no perfect drama imo, there are dramas that come pretty close. This rating looks like intricate villains, beautiful OSTs and enchanting storytelling
9: Great	Something I loved and would recommend but there may have been something amiss in delivering the story
8: Very Good	I had a good time watching it, but there were just a couple of things missing (i.e. draggy, lack of romance, misplaced storytelling)
7: Good/Enjoyable	It has the potential to be great, but it just wasn't there. The ride was satisfactory, but nothing to write to home about
6: Above Average/"Okay"	It's like when you expected more but then settled for less? I wanted you to be great but you were just okay.
*5: Totally Average:* Not Amazing, Not Horrible**	Just meh. Wasn't enough to keep me fully satisfied. I shut off my brain when watching
<4: Below Average/Dreadful	There's nothing interesting or exciting enough here. Many things wrong not enough right
Dropped	Typically this comprises of dramas I either had on hold for way too long OR weren't meeting my expectations or interests
