Excellent analysis and brilliant play of words, as usual. I'm always happy to come across your reviews ❤️
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Yeah, the bloody teeth are horrendous and kept popping up. Don't look realistic to me. Guess it's next level "spitting out blood" trope 😂
Totally agree on the sizzling chemistry between the leads, and the lack of it between the second couple. I didn't even realise they were second couple till you mentioned it. Haha.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, I totally agree. It was very interesting up to a point and then it…
"the skinship quotient went from 0 to 100 in one scene but fades quickly as well. " - love your way with words :D Was so odd...like an anomaly. At least there was 1 swoon worthy moment. FL is a proven solid actress, but I'm in doubt of Wang Kai's ability as a romcom lead now. Haha.
Well writen review Thank you for sharing your thoughts. The aviation setting was so interesting in the first half of the show. FL's character was also worth rooting for. Sad that the leads couldn't demonstrate more chemistry due to the writing.
Thank you for your review. I wandered into this page cos it has the same director of Legend of Mi Yue (which is a brilliant drama).
The comparisons with other top notch dramas are very useful, and piqued my interest to attempt this concubine drama. I usually stay away from this period cos the half-bald men are not so pleasant to the eyes :P
Good review. Bai Yu was excellent. I enjoyed his performances in The Bond and The Wind Blows From Longxi, but he could display his amazing range as Jiang Yang. So glad his voice wasn't dubbed out.
Well articulated review. Agree that the last few episodes were not as good as the rest of the drama. Would have scored a higher rating if the show was more consistent throughout.
Great chemistry between the leads, More sizzle compared to The Starry Love.
Another well written review from one of my fave reviewers 🙂 Was loving this show so much until the last few episodes. Not sure what they were thinking when they put together the ending. Still an enjoyable ride.
And, Jeremy Tsui is such a bonus 😍 That voice.... ❤️❤️
Thank you for the well articulated review. My first J drama, and I loved it. The talented cast, the poignant dialogue and the high production values made this drama a beautiful watch <3
I had stopped watching when the credits rolled. Thank goodness I read your review and went back to the drama :P
Thank you for the review. Love the insights into editors' work and contributions; didn't realise they even analysed the logic of storylines and consistency in characters' actions.
The main leads are not my fave actors in Cdramaland, but they were just super cute together. Their warm chemistry and trust in each other made the watch enjoyable :)
Such a well articulated review, filled with helpful analysis. Thank you.
I just finished the drama. Could only watch an episode a day, but full of respect for the production team and the main cast. Second Bai Yu drama for me, and I totally enjoyed his performance. Chen Kun is of course brilliant.

What is SFD by the way?
Bai Yu was brilliant. His transformation from a young idealistic prosecutor to a broken man was heart-wrenching.
The cast for the hot pot gang was superb. Love their chemistry.

Started Love Lasts Forever today. He's soooo easy on the eyes :P

Will use FF but still push on after reading your review :)
