the drama started off amazing but the last few episodes were just draggy man , idk the ending could have be made…
This drama could have been a lot better (I'm blaming direction / production and writing on this because all the actors have been phenomenal in other projects) and the ending had me yelling at my rocking chair. Lazy writing.
Let's congratulate Lee Jae Wook for playing his character so well. Some truly hate his character and some actually…
Very much agree. Although this drama is very well acted all the way around, Lee Jae Wook has taken a very unsympathetic character and made him interesting. Kudos to his acting skill!
Oh and forgot, it's amazing our female lead had 4 people crushing on her. Was kinda hoping for a scene with the…
I truly don't understand a mentality that hates for actors / actresses for dating or multiple collaborations. I cannot imagine being in their shoes and have to hide any personal interaction for fear that no one will support future projects. That has to be an extremely isolating profession.
It's a shame. Both Chen Xing Xu and Peng Xiao Ran are wonderful actors but so far I haven't heard any news of…
@ChineseDramaFan - we are in luck. "The Last Prince" starring Chen Xing Xu and Sun Yi is slated for 2019 and two more dramas are listed for him with a potential release date of 2020. Peng Xiao Ran was supposed to have "The Legend of Ba Qing" released in late 2019 but I think it will either be severely delayed or entirely shelved because of the other lead actors (Fan Bing Bing is also the main lead). I'd love to see her in more dramas.
11 episode in and it feels a lot similar of watching 2 cat playing with mouse, after a while mouse getting hurting…
I think you've summed up the hardest and most riveting part of this story.....we as viewers (especially after a couple of rewatches) know the impactful decisions of both the first and second lead and slowly watch Xiao Feng's world become the thing she despised the most: the captured Queen in a royal chess game for power.
I read the summary of the manga and only the initial circumstances come across as similar. The plot device may…
@TofueToffee - I'm so glad someone else cannot move past this drama. This one checks every box off for me as far as acting, writing, story arcs, production, etc. About once every other month, I start rewatching from episode 1 and love every single moment of screen time.
Great article! Most original drama that I've seen. As soon as there was cognitive reasoning for some of the characters outside of the stage, I was hooked.
It's dubbed but with his own voice. I watched Li Yi Tong in "Bloody Romance" and she has a beautiful speaking voice. Why they decided to dub it is beyond my understanding.
the 9.2 rating is a bit muchbesides the plot convenience, i'd give it an even lower rating for the predictable,…
I loved this drama when it explained the difference between being in the shadows and then following a writer's whim for about 10% of a characters life. That concept threw every understanding I had of drama formulas out the window (for me).
"W" was interesting because the idea was fresh but then the plot went in circles. I spent a lot of viewing time wishing for a more "point a to point b" plotline.
I'm in all in for this one but love the character of Baek Kyung more than Ha Ru (at this point in the story). Baek Kyung is someone who fights a dark side and I'm intrigued to see if he wins that battle.
Loved your post! Cheese in the Trap was never on my to watch list and now I'm glad. I also loved Song Seung Heon's portrayal of "Black". He made the character riveting and pretty much carried the show.
