Given the synopsis I dont know what ppl were expecting from this drama. I am loving every second of it and 1.5 hrs just flew by. Loved the hunting outfits, all screamed moonneey!!! And KJW in that black sequined dress 🔥 KSH unintentionally giving wife motivation to live whilst searching on Geegle 😂
I always come back to this whenever I need my brain cells re-calibrated after watching shows with unintelligent characters. Love Xie Yun's brain cells in this
Though I'm not into kdrama lately I'm looking forward to Queen of tears. I know its not going to have the fluff…
I loved LBFAD and L&P as well. I liked Kim Ji Won in 'The Heirs' and 'Fight for my way'. Though 'My Liberation Notes' was popular it did not quite resonate with me. If you like high school cdrma try 'Time and him are just right'.
I cannot seem to find anything else to watch after this other than rewatch some of my other favorites. I even…
Though I'm not into kdrama lately I'm looking forward to Queen of tears. I know its not going to have the fluff but I am a fan of Kim Ji Won. I actually liked Lovestruck in the city esp the OST Have you watched: Meet yourself The day of becoming you
Please let me go, release me!!!! I'm begging you 🙏..I've rewatched on all platforms already 😭😭😭 Viki, Tencent, Netflix, youtube shorts, everywhere really 😅
I found it fascinating that people’s opinions about this drama are mostly at the extreme opposites, very few…
Personally I can relate to this drama because I can understand the lead characters and their thought processes. I believe real life relationships dont need too much drama from the outside world because Yi Yang's personal drama was enough for the both of them. People think this sort of love portrayal is unrealistic but I've been married for 14 years so I know it can be pretty close to this. When you meet a partner who's at the some wavelength as you, and have a mutual attraction the love can be explosive. It wont look that way to outsiders though. Real life experience has also deterred me from flaunting it because people are crazy jealous out there. It takes a certain IQ/EQ plus selflessness to achieve it.
I'm huge fan of historical drama but this didn't quite hit the mark. From screenwriter of The Crowned Clown I expected more tbh. The romance was bla. No intriguing sword fights, the fl revenge even though doomed to fail, could have been plotted better...nothing to really leave a viewer satisfied. Its only the melodrama aspect that they nailed but thats so 2012 imao.
FYI for newcomers to cdrama.... 1. Cdramas tend to be long with many episodes so expect 'fillers', though this show was ok in this aspect. When you've seen hundreds of them you'd know
2. please do not watch with western expectations regarding the leads' relationship progression. Most cultures around the world expect relationships to start 'slow' so a bunch of us can actually relate to this. In fact, this show has more pda and more skinship than you'll find in most cdramas. Only very few can match up
3. There's a lot of censorship in China regarding what can be shown on screen, so directors and producers have to tweak the storyline to maintain continuity. Unfortunately, FLs become victims as they are then the ones portrayed as 'shy' and refusing pda due to cultural expectations as well.
4. Because our leads get together much earlier compared to other cdrama, they would have had 'too many' kiss scenes if FL was accepting all of them which in reality, would have made their contracts pretty expensive.
All of this should make one realise that its not easy for these guys to bring such a heartfelt romance without relying on some of the usual drama tropes.
I hope I have explained why some of some cherish this drama to bits
I don't know what this has anything to do with my comment but FYI If you want to watch all episodes of the drama you have to be prepared to pay for at least one site that caters to Asian content. Why should you give money to Netflix and not the originators of the content.....I pay for Viki where all the episodes have been released..I also subscribed to Tencent on YouTube to get early releases as well. I understand if you're not in a position to pay all these but there's no such thing as a free lunch. These actors and related platforms deserve to be paid for what they do so exceedingly well as well. So, if you're not paying then you'll have to be patient and wait.
I apologise if that sounded it a little harsh, but I consider this show my happy place so any 'unwarranted' criticism is unwelcome
This is the sort of drama that communicates with you through your body. Where there is a non verbal scene, your body's reaction will fill in that gap. I'm sorry to those who did not get that 'feeling' that everyone else is raving abt this drama. People who enjoy the 'feeling' of 'falling in love' especially at that young naive age will understand this the most.
To those who don't, I'm curious to know what 'falling in love' looks like to you....and do you enjoy romantic shows in general? If so, care to share the ones that reasonate with you the most.

If you're generally not into that perhaps try watching something else. The 'nothing' you speak of means 'everything' to us
