If you think it has great plot, than I got nothing for you cuz you are entitled to your opinion but it doesn't…
Whoa! Triggered much??? Why don't you come back to comment once you understand the word 'MOST'. And that Kdrama commentary was absolutely uncalled for. Since you've seen my watchlist you should already know what I rated those dramas.
And whilst we at it, I have seen that many cdramas' and I am totally qualified to give my opinion.
Learn to make your points respectfully so we can actually discuss the drama
What exactly do people want??? Most cdramas are unserious or suffer from poor production issues that even top billing actors have often times fallen victim to. Now comes along a quality production with awesome leads great plot and tight script. But y'all act like specialist critics deterring would-be viewers from watching this masterpiece. Some of us dont have the context of the original novel of which I think its a blessing as is. I love this role for Mai Mai as she's absolutely acing it...now on ep 30 and still not bored.
Of course if you don't like palace politics plots and counter-plots then its probably not for you.
Hats off to Zhao Jin Mai for taking the role of such a complex decisive character at the risk of being hated....some ppl have a hard time separating the actress from the role. Her role in Stand by me almost gave me an aneurysm π
Since I started watching this series I was curious who of the two male main leads does the majority prefer? I…
To me, though Wang Yu was a man's man and an ideal 'leader' he seemed obsessed with wanting 'the crown' in order to protect the people he cared about, even if it meant marrying his enemy's niece to accomplish this. When it came to Yang, he knew she was a useful ally until he found out 'he' was a woman then suddenly she became the 'damsel in distress'. I get that he wanted to protect her but she was no ornament obviously. Yang also seemed to admire and respect Wang Yu but not necessarily in love
Ta Hwan, growing up in a vicious palatial setting wanted nothing to do with power let alone know how to weild it. He, however recognised Yang's abilities and only hung on to power to allow her to accomplish the seemingly impossible. He dared to love even though his born status would never allow him to indulge in such emotions. He was overly needy of Yang's love which she probably did recognise but didn't want to admit until the very end....He would give up the world for his only love..
If I had my way, I would have wanted her with Taltal . They a tacit understanding and in all fairness he seemed to have the most love for Yang for which he expected nothing in return π. As a viewer I didn't notice I was already rooting for the pair until that soul crushing announcement at the very end. My heart literally broke at this realisation as I was too focused on the 2 MLs the whole timeπ
I'm in love with Princess' palace shenanigans....always ready to one-up the villains with her impassioned speeches! Her and the Emperor make a great team, daring to fight the nobles for the greater good of the people.
A misunderstood but brilliant piece of art. God forbid if characters are somewhat grey (which most ppl are by nature anyway) . Why would he love her from the beginning when the only motivation to be with her was to prevent their presumed death? He was unlikely to get a wife given his lifestyle and how 'self-centred' he was.
Ma Rin was initially infatuated and desperate for affection and slowly faced reality that she needed to love herself first before giving her heart to someone else.
So Jun thought he was rich and independent and was 'above' love and feelings. He ended up obsessing about the future, failing to live in the present with the one who he didn't realise he'd already given his heart to.
How could their relationship be normal, the guy had a big secret afterall
Perhaps ppl found the time travel confusing but this is my absolutely favourite sci-fi romance kdrama followed by TKEM π
and now that i think about it, the subtle hope on her face whenever pei wenxuan talks about their relationship…
Exactly this!... he had not been manning up and admitting his love for her. I mean, what's a girl supposed to do, she's a Princess after all! Growing up in the palace with zero affection, feelings would totally be seen as weakness according to her
Eish, on ep 21 and why am I so angry with myself. The producers were making the opposite of every decision I would like for this show. I did not expect their marriage would still not have happened at this stage! I did not expect the FL to be lacking in discernment at most critical times! And who does she want to marry now??? Ummm lady, you're on my last nerve π‘ I actually do not hate the action parts and multiple reincarnations .....been dissapointed by these seemingly small decisions for what was meant to be a filler drama anywayπ
Youku's tactics of 1 ep a day are pure torture....not to mention the early access fee π. On to the show: I'm starting to dislike princess' obliviousness about her feelings for both men. I'm hoping the writer clears this up soon because I can not bring myself to care much for SRQ! The delay is just slowly undoing the epic rain confession.... thought by this time she would have worked out her feelings for him. Whats with writing in cdrama where they invest so heavily in a negative perception of FL considering they were both wrong in a their previous life...now ML becomes the self sacrificing saint smh.
In any case, I won't stop watching because that's how much I like ZJM
I think this Fang Xie Wen role fits Lin Geng Xin better than any other role I've seen him in: being a royal pain in the a**. Honestly, I actually find him comical demanding that Yi mei have a son and look after the house...I would get worked up and angry in the beginning now I just laugh at the actor's expressions when he knows he's saying the most ridiculous things *of course I do know its not a laughing matter in real life βοΈ
I knew sooner or later her husband's inferiority complex and insecurity would soon catch up with her.....men should not marry women that come from better backgrounds than them bcoz most have such fragile egos. I have experienced first-hand
I think I'm starting to see why I can't fully immerse myself into this drama: the background story is not exciting enough. Almost everyone has experience being a student and I'm not sure that I want to vicariously re-live that experience through a drama. I feel like a different work setting that I'm not familiar with would add that mystery factor instead of the anxiety I find myself feeling all the time whilst watching.
There's always that nagging feeling that they're doing something wrong even though they're fully consenting adultsπ€·.
The lighting isn't really creating a lovely ambiance but everything just seems dark and I find myself trying to guess what their facial expressions are in some scenes which I feel takes a lot away from the drama. Yes, I have tried to increase brightness on my device but the translation become to flashy then almost hurting my eyes.
I had high expectations I suppose but I feel like they wasted great leads' potential
And that music....a few times listening is fine...but 2/3 tracks on rotation for 9 episodes my brain hurts. I feel like the music composer doesn't watch romance genre because that music is just not very compatible.
I loved Something in rain on the most part but somehow not so much One Spring night...so there's that
