I like this guys short romance dramas. I love his type of characters he plays. The dominant, masculine, tough guy, fighting expert, saving the damsel in distress while romancing and sometimes forcing the FL. And his shows always have good kiss scenes.
Very good. Great leads. FL is beautiful. I love her cuteness. I want more of her, especially in Xianxia, where her type is an asset. It's fast-paced. I love that. I like the ML's character with his fighting and racing abilities, but i was concerned for a bit in the beginning that the show is just about car racing like the Fast and the Furious series, but thankfully it wasn't. My favourite thing is the love, devotion, and dedication they have for each other. She never gave up on him, and he devoted everything for her. I also like that the breakup period was short. 1 or two episodes i think. Fantastic drama.
How can the FL have romantic feelings for the ML? She grew up seeing him as a brother and still thought of him that way even after they were separated. She only learned he was adopted as an adult. Even if they’re not related, wouldn’t the Westermarck effect prevent that?
I was reading the synopsis and kept waiting for the moment where something tragic or dramatic happens, the kind of event that leads to a breakup or separation, but it never came. I don’t know, the synopsis just sounds a bit boring to me, but, we’ll see.
This drama looks good and the story looks interesting, which is why I’m considering watching it. I like the ML and other work he’s done. However, I’m hesitant to start it because I’m not attracted to the FL. She’s just not my type. For me, visuals and chemistry between the leads, especially in a romance, are a top priority, so that’s holding me back.
And before anyone comes at me for mentioning her looks, visuals and attractiveness are already part of casting decisions in this industry. Actors and actresses are judged on appearance by directors and producers as part of getting the role, especially in romance dramas. Viewers are allowed to factor looks into their viewing choices too, not just acting skills.
I really enjoyed this drama. It started off strong and moved quickly, which I loved. It didn’t waste time getting into the story. The ML is that classic dominant, protective type who’s always saving the FL, and that’s exactly the kind of dynamic I enjoy. I also liked that when they were separated, it didn’t drag on forever. Once they met again at the company, they worked their way back to each other pretty quickly, which was refreshing.
There were a few parts in the middle where the rivalry with the SML felt a bit much. The childish behaviour was fine once or twice, but after that it started to feel unnecessary. I also found the SML more annoying than interesting. He should’ve just been upfront about his feelings and moved on.
The SFL was stunning, and I really liked her character. I appreciated that her interest in the ML didn’t get dragged out, and I loved how straightforward she was, especially in her interactions with the SML. She was clearly too good for him. I didn’t like that she ended up with him in the end. She deserved better and should’ve moved on. She was easily one of my favourite characters.
Esther Yu is beautiful. I love her intimate interactions. She can come across as too cute and too childish at times, which is why i think she's better suited to Xianxia dramas where that kind of cuteness is an asset, but her personality and expressions make her really appealing to me.
I’m on episode 10, and I really hope this isn’t just about car racing. I’m skipping most of the car scenes because I’m not a fan. I didn’t even watch the Fast and the Furious movies except the first one. The first 5 or 6 episodes were really good, but now it’s starting to feel a bit boring with all the car stuff. Hopefully, it doesn’t continue like this.
"After learning that her brother is adopted, Mu flies to Thailand alone."
Did Mu have feelings for Zhao before learning he’s adopted, and is that why she goes to Thailand after she discovers the truth? That's what the synopsis implies.
Ugh, yes same. I've been sitting at the middle of episode 10 for like 2 weeks. I tried to turn it back on tonight…
Yep, I’ve officially dropped it and moved on. Once I lose interest, that’s it. It’s over. This was on track to be a 10 for me. It had everything I like, romance (fast-paced romance), great chemistry, strong interactions, no love triangles, a decent body-swap arc, and solid main leads. Unfortunately, for a few reasons, I ended up losing interest.
I only have one week of holidays left, and there are several shows on my list that I think are genuinely worth my time. Dynamite Kiss, Speed and Love, and a couple of others. I can’t justify persevering with this anymore.
I ended up dropping this at episode 12, which I didn’t expect because it started off really strong. I loved the beginning. The romance, the chemistry between the characters, and their interactions were fantastic. It had such a promising start.
I didn’t mind the body swapping. That part was fine. But after a while, I started to lose interest. The story kept revisiting the same points, and it became increasingly focused on the Left Minister. I just couldn’t buy into how all powerful he was. Watching him continually get away with everything quickly became frustrating and repetitive.
It’s a shame because I genuinely enjoyed the romance, and it is a strong romantic story. But by episode 12, it wasn’t enough to keep me engaged. In fact, I started losing interest around episode 9, and the romance alone couldn’t carry the show for me.
I know there are only 3 episodes left, but it’s taken me almost a week to get through the last 4 or 5 episodes. Considering I’m on holidays with plenty of time to binge, that says a lot. With only a week left and too many other things to watch, I’m not going to waste time on a show I’ve already lost interest in.
