For me, the first 4 eps were exceptional and got my full attention. I would give 10/10 just for those eps . Sadly, starting from ep 7 till the end, the plot got repetitive and boring. I dislike the main lead's character, Hwa Pyung. His character was way 2 dimensional, little to no depth, selfish and the way he reacts in the story annoyed me alot. To sum up The Guest, it's like a game where the viewer need to guess where is Park Il Do in humans.And if you think you found that evil spirit, that's where you got wrong. To play this guessing game for 16 hours straight , that's too long. Fortunately , fast forward button was there.
8/10 rating for Qu Chu Xiao and Li Yi Tong's performances and exceptional chemistry, top-notch cinematography, great OST ,beautiful and vibrant coloured costumes, for the intense love story and few tear-jerker eps (ep 13,16,25,27,29,35,36).. minus 2 for a boring political story and that shitty ending.
I dropped the last season because I couldnt withstand many things in the story. Somehow ,I started the 2nd season because I'm in mood for something thrilling . I managed to finished all the eps and it did'nt disappoint me like the 1st season. The story was engaging with the right amount of eps. There are few times this show managed to scared the shit out of me. The scenes with the little girl , the visually creepy clown and the crazyness of our main villain. The loopholes also were'nt obvious and less annoyed me. The male lead's acting was great. The villains are super creepy and the backstory of them were convincing.
IMO, if you're an impatient person ,u shouldnt watch chinese drama at all because most of them has 50 to 60 ++ eps full of conflicts and dramatic events..Some eps wil be slow and some will be fast . In this case, you just only watch like 2 eps (??)and already judged it so harshly lol..sorry I found ur review very 'funny' ...
How this drama still gets 8.8 here in MDL baffled me. What great qualities this drama has that made majorities rated it that high I cant fathom..I guess majorities really favoured this kinda story ,we're so different..I rated this 4/10 and I made a vow to never ever watch any drama written by this Baek Mi Yeong writer again..
Finally I finished my 3rd chinese drama of this year after LLIT and LOFY...Kudos to myself~ 63 eps, roughly 47 hours of my life was spent on this show. I rated this 8/10 for the goldly handsome Pheonix, for a cutely beautiful Jin Mi, sneaky and pretty Pu Chi, the BEST uncle Moon Immortal, for all the lavish CGI effects in this show and for that ending :) Eventhough I'm not so into the story but the exceptional chemistry of our OTP, great acting by all the cast and the top notch visual has stole my heart made me rated it higher than my level of enjoyment with the show.
I think Ethan never played in Autumn Concerto. Vanness Wu is main lead actor at there. Maybe your means is Fated…
Yup. I realized I made mistake .thank you for correcting me I done edited my post. It was FTLY not AC :p
I didnt say he's overreacted in the whole drama. It's just in that particular episode I mentioned only ..by commenting in this page, I didnt intend to offense anyone. I just want to express how I feel about the drama since I invested almost 50 hours of my life on this..
Is it only me that feel like many scenes in the last ep was done 'funnily'? The acting of many characters when they burst out are horrible especially Wu Ji. He overreacted much and that spoiled my mood while watching. When Wu Ji cried, instead of feeling sad, I just want to laugh because his expression was funny.. Dont get me wrong when I'm saying this. I've always love Ethan Ruan's acting since Fated to Love You, My Queen and I like his Wu Ji's character in early eps but the few last eps not so much . I liked his playful and goofyness character but that character kinda died when we came to the 2/3rd of the story.. and his acting also felt superficial in the later eps.. *sigh*
I only gave this show 8/10 because I did'nt enjoyed it much like everyone here. I'm not fully invested in the story till I reached ep 30 and I loved the first 10 eps after that..but as the story dragged on,my fondness of the show didnt lasted long till I reach the last ep . Hmm.. For me, Eternal Love still my top 1 chinese drama I've watched up-to- date.
1-CaHM at first remind me of Just Between Lover, drama that I watched few months ago and did'nt like it. They're the same in the term of slow-moving and 'taking my time' storyline . I guess healing type drama just not my cup of tea.. 2- I connect more to the child storyline more than the storyline when they're adult. I also feel like the young NM and NW bring the right emotions and acting for their characters more than th e adult NM and NW did. (I'm sorry JKY for saying these when you're one of the reason why I'm so eager to watch this drama >.< ) 3- CaHM got one of the best stepmom ever exist in dramaland. Cha Ok Hee jjangg! 4- Hyun Moo. I love his character out of all character in this drama.His character development was one of the best. I so hated him at first but later on, when the writer made us see the real him, that was when I totally fall over heel with his character. 5- I did'nt love this drama as much as I was in the beginning. First 20 eps were great but the last 12 eps were just okay. 6- I'm so surprise this drama had no theme song. If there was any, I really did'nt notice it. 7- The romance. It was a pure and sweet anddd abit awkward :p
Your typical law drama with non-existing chemistry between leads.For me maybe this drama better be without romance. It's a pity though this drama got a great cast but the storyline was so meh. I got bored from ep 6 onward and persevere just for the sake of finishing it. Sorry Lee Jun Ki, even you cant save this..
