STRICTLY MY PERSONAL OPINION: Started off as something different but completely lost my interest towards the middle of the series. I think what really kept me through was the second couple. Shame though...was really looking forward to it when it was announced.
Strictly My Personal Opinion:- Starting from episode 9, I stopped enjoying the drama as much and in episode 10...Its fallen to rock bottom! I officially have no clue how they plan to end it without making a gross mess!
I watched upto episode 3 and it's not catching my attention that much amd whenever i am trying to watch this i…
I did feel the same as you...like 5 episodes in and I was wondering whether this is how the drama is gonna be and is this really it?? But now I am counting the hours till the next episode, far too addicted to this show. So, I think you should be a little patient till episode 10 (1/4th of the Drama, a kind of a standard test I use before dropping or continuing a drama), and if it still does not rope you in...maybe it was not your cup of tea.
Ep. 34 CXZ's mom dialogue with LMT. Is she trying to drive the idea for her son to get concubines????
That is exactly what I thought too!! It was so weird how the conversation suddenly came about...how the hell do you say that to your to-be daughter-in-law. Also, knowing LMT, the mere signs of CXZ taking in a concubine (according to her character), would lead to a divorce.
A very recent example of a Chinese drama which started off magnificently but went down the drain and even further after around 15-16 episodes. I love the trio (Shen, Situ and Mi Lan) but oh God!!!! Why did they have to somehow, unnecessarily ruin the story (I blame certain, you know who, characters)?!?!
19th episode and ughhhhhhhhhhhh. I was literally enamored by this for the first 12 episodes. So why in the world am I rolling my eyes during the recent episodes??? What happened and why did it have to happen?!? The reason I am continuing to watch - only 5 episodes left and Nana is really pretty. Seeing her for the first time and wow...I am gonna be looking forward to her future works.

I cannot, for the life of me, accept Li's reason of hatred and that being his motivation thus far. That guy has some serious mental issues, is unhealthily obsessed with Shen and needs help. Everything about this drama is good except the villain 🤦♀️
I enjoyed the performance of both of our leads but the story let me down...Maybe I was expecting too much or something too different, but in my opinion, the story could have been a little shorter and better fleshed out. It felt like they tried to do something different, yet, halfway through gave up on it. Overall: Good but nothing special. Worth a try though!
Weird? For sure. Still somehow good? Yes. Let me assure you that I don't even know why I don't like it, despite it being something very different than what I usually enjoy. I think its one of those works that if you like it, then you just do...without any reasons. Ofc, not for everyone though.
It seems the director is a bit lazy when it comes to elaborating. I noticed that some supposedly intense and emotional…
Even I haven't watched the anime, but I do blame the director and editing. The moment I start getting invested in a scene...bam! scene change. And of course, I do blame my high expectations 🫥
Completed till episode 14 and my thoughts: I waited almost a year for this Drama and honestly, it's disappointing. Yes, it's not as bad as few previous comments make it out to be, but it's not as engaging as I would expect from a star studded drama with this kind of hefty budget. The production and everything made it really pretty, but that's about it. The story lacks that excitement and 'wow' factor that xianxia and wuxia dramas capitalize on to engage viewers. In dramas of similar genre, I usually find myself feeling a range of emotions together with the characters, but here, I am unable to emotionally invest myself. Instead, I find myself wondering just how many years ago was this filmed, because few actors, who I have seen better performances from, fail to adequately deliver here. I will not drop this drama tho, call it my stubbornness in believing that it will engage me at some point...but so far, not amazing.
P.s. This my personal opinion and I would appreciate if no one bashes me for it.
The cinematography was honestly beautiful from the start to finish and acting was amazing by the cast. The story, however, started strong but started losing me from some point. I agree with most past comments, it had a lot of potential but by the end of it, it became a movie that I will remember as average.
I was of course extremely happy abt our main couple finally getting together...But, BUT! Wth was the scene with the two managers!! How the hell am I supposed to get it out of my head and continue the pure, fluffy romance of the main couple?!?! I need a series with them as the main couple...ASAP!
Rewatching it..and its just as good as I remember. But I do agree (I think someone wrote a comment abt it previously) that an explanation as to when Cake started falling for Eiw would be nice. Its like...after he returns, he suddenly becomes possessive, from a romantic angle, over Eiw. Not a critique or complaint, but an explanation or a scene which shows the change in his feelings would have been nice.
Its been so long since I smiled through all episodes (till ep 6) of a Thai BL drama. It is sooo cute and sweet but skillfully dodges cringy elements. The actors are new and thus, there is room for improvement but what they are presenting on the screen is in no way bad...they are better than some Thai BL actors I have seen for sometime now. Fingers Crossed! Hope it continues to be as good :)
The trailer was one of the best things I have ever seen !!! I love Minghao...love how he looked in past historical dramas, but this! This is perfection!! He looks totally in his element! *squealing sounds* I want to watch this ASAP!!! Please iQiyi, give it to us!!!
