The monster here made me think of Venom. A korean version one lol. Cinematography was as amazing as S1 but in terms of plot ,S1 was much better. I guess 7 episodes were not enough to tell all that happened during 80 years gap between this season & its predecessor. So it felt like you're missing something from the story. My rating: 8/10.
My list of short length c-dramas that I enjoyed. I would not say they are exactly the same but all drama in this list had great chemistry between leads imo 🙂
✅️ Romance & chemistry between leads : 8/10. Just good enough to make me ship them throughout the story. ✅️ Acting : 8.5/10. ✅️ OST: 9/10. My favourite song: When the Wind Blows by Xu Minghao. ✅️ Costumes , hairstyles and overall visual : 8.5/10. ☑️The plot : 7/10. Somewhat interesting with light angst . But the editing especially in the last few episodes leave much to be desired. ⭕️My rating : 8/10. A bit biased because of demon Zhang Ling He 🖤.
My conclusion: Love's Rebellion was worth watching for Zhang Ling He alone 👉👈.
If you are in the mood of watching short length drama with good looking main leads that can act , can kiss, and able to ignore the mediocrity of the plot then this drama is for you 🙊!
First time watching DGZ in drama. Heard all the rave about him before. Mann.. I am not impressed. I don't think his acting is good 🙈. He tend to overacting alot imo. Costume : Meh . Hairstyle : Not good. Plot : Nothing new. 5/10.
The story was interesting in the beginning but when the romance sailed it started to get boring. I need angst in my drama but this drama is too calm & too healthy for my mental health 🥲. Everything progress smoothly it was so meh to watch. One scene that disappointed me the most was when Hua Zhi finally get to know Yan Xi's real identity. It was a perfect moment for an angsty scene but no . She just calmly accepted the truth like what? That guy deceiving you again and again intentionally. He also did nothing to prevent you from getting beat for a mistake that you did not do when he has power to do so. But she forgive him just like that 🙄.. So much for a healthy and mature relationship.
At this point, I think I enjoyed healthy relationship with doses of toxicity + misunderstandings in my dramas more coz they get my adrenaline running & made things more exciting. Which this drama did not have. The main couple's relationship is healthy and too perfect all the way.
Tbh, I enjoyed many family drama here even shed few tears while watching . These scenes are the only thing that made me feel. But to keep watching family drama (even the conflict only appeared once in a while ) with a boring romance for 40 episodes?
✅️ Engaging storyline. ✅️ Good looking main leads with good acting. ✅️ Chemistry between leads 10/10. ✅️ ML knows how to kiss & likes skinship 🙈 ✅️ Angsty 8.5/10. ☑️ Good mystery and plot twists. ☑️ Good OSTs. ❌️ Typical villain. I speed watched through most of her scenes.
✖️ Superficial plot with nothing heavy. They even treated the death of FL's father like it was a funny matter. ❌️ The tone used by the voice-over in the background was too annoying to listen to. I can't stand it no more. ❌️ This is a comedy drama through and through . But the humor in this drama ain't getting me at all. Instead of laughing , I just feel annoying.
My verdict: As everything isn't my cup of tea & I found no joy while watching, dropped!
I agree with you on all points, except for the romance part because XFF was still married to SYR after she survived…
If they really want to wait until her marital status is resolved why the candle kiss in ep 34? 🙃 I recall her marital status still did not resolve at that point.
This drama was not on my PTW list and I am not even a fan of both leads .But I started this one because of all the rave and I was curious . Moreover, a revenge based drama is always my cup of tea. Once I finished the first episode , I understand why this drama became the talk of the c-drama town. I think the main strength of this drama was its captivating plot. The second best was the acting. The complexity of the characters from the main characters to the villains also contributed to the success of this drama.
As for me, up to episode 30 , I really enjoyed the plot. I would rate these episodes= 9/10. The plot was addicting , unpredictable and dull moments never stayed for long. FL here was the real definition of a clever and strong heroine. I loved the fact that our FL was strong enough on her own. She did not just wait and depend on ML to save and protect her all the time . She mostly resolved all the problem arises in her revenge plan by her own thinking and ability.
But the last 10 episodes , were quite underwhelming to me. Political conspiracies in dramas never failed to bored me and here in this drama there is no exception. I mostly speed watched through it. The last 10 episodes focused more on politic and villain backstory with less focus on our main couple relationship. The romance which I hope would evolve more when we are now going towards the end just ended up being stagnant like their romance suddenly was not one of the focus of this drama. The chemistry between Ah Li and Duke Su was indeed electric but the drama did not fully utilize it , even their appearance together in these episodes were too less imo.
Other aspects:- ✅️ Cinematography was great = 10/10. ✅️ Costumes department also did not dissapoints = 8.5/10. ☑️ OSTs were good enough= 8/10. While I did not loved any of the main songs but I liked the instrumental songs here .
When I saw her in TAF, her face looks sooo familiar. Turned out it is because she looks like Renesmee Cullen , daughter of Bella & Edward in movie Twilight 😃
My 3rd Zhao Yi Qin's drama but my 1st drama of seeing him without hanfu. He looked dashing in a suit ❤. And my 5th Zhao Lin's drama. As usual I always enjoyed mini dramas made by this screenwriter 😊. Hope his next one already in the making. My rating : 8/10.
Started okay but the plot went totally crazy in the last 10 episodes. Opium addiction, stabbing, fake amnesia, force confinement, physical abuse you name it lol. I went from liking ML in the first half of the story to disliking him by the end of it. FL also not that clever in her revenge mission. Just another forgettable mini drama .My rating for the first 14 episodes :8/10 . The last 10 episodes: 6/10. Final rating : 7/10.
I never thought I would enjoyed this drama this much especially when youth and sports genre aren't really my cuppa tea. I usually avoid them like the plague. It was a rare occasion for me to enjoy one like I did with FIY.
Started this because of Wang An Yu and I was immediately sold by episode 2. Wow WAY's acting here imo was even better than his acting in The Last Immortal. There's something in his acting that made me his fan after TLI and made me want to watch FIY after. He acts with his whole body but the way he expressed his emotions through eyes mesmerized me the most. Duan Yu Cheng's character was such a crybaby, childish as expected of 20 years old boy but he can be serious when time needed him to be. In romance aspect , I would say it was sweet,cute & steamy of a kind. WAY chemistry with Gina was so good like they were in love for real. And those kisses scenes here which he mostly initiated were just 🥵. I was surprised because we did not see those in TLI maybe saw just a snippet of it but here there were tons loI. This couple also maintained a healthy relationship throughout with no miscommunication. Made me want a jiejie romance of my own too 🤧.
Storyline was interesting enough for me to stay engrossed for 26 episodes which is a perfect length because when I think of sports drama with 36 or 40 episodes I feel bored already 😂. So watching DYC's hardship in pursuing his dream woke the sportmanship spirit in me which I thought I did not have.
