Knavery

I gave up at episode 21.

Moxi is the character nobody wanted or asked for but everyone falls in love with because ??? why not. Of course there have been a lot of male leads like her in the history of TV but at least they're good at something. Her character was supposed to be street smart but in order to make her not-scared of the male lead they made her street dumb. For about 10 episodes she's looked like an idiot and I've had enough.

I'm sure some like it but there is no plot movement, every man is tripping over themselves to fall in love with Moxi and who knows why and the majority of the drama has been the two sisters moping.

So he's married and not to the female lead?

I get it's a comedy but the female lead is actually the bad guy. She's the definition of the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Maybe it's her blinding stupidity that attracts all the other characters. The writers have dug a hole in the romance story and now to dig their way out and salvage the romance they've made her a moron.

It's better than a lot of the short dramas that tend to jump around and not make much sense.

I think it kind of suffers from the opposite problem Extraordinary You does. The Korean show goes on too long, it's slow and the writers can't really figure out how to wrap things up and end it. This is kind of the opposite in that it's a little too short and the writers simplify an interesting concept a little too much.

It's a good show but it's a short webtoon style show.

I hope the female lead can get some full length main roles.

I have no idea how this lasts 60 episodes. I made it through 7 and it already feels like things are going in circles.

Probably the highlight of Love Like Galaxy. The rest of that show got boring after the constant repetition.

It's interesting. For Yun Xiang it's always been a back and forth of trying to keep his composure and seeking revenge... now he has a reasonably good understanding of what happened. But the Su children are nothing like their father. Will he be able to see that? Is he able to see that if the Su father is responsible in his eyes that there are many people who might see Yun Xiang as responsible for the grief they have suffered? Many men and women have been manipulated and killed by his plans.

This has been my favorite revenge story since Nirvana in Fire.

It's very compelling. If you like a mix of drama and romance in a historical period this would be it.

I've found the pacing to be really strong. The story moves along. The characters and their lives progress.

It's probably my favorite historical of 2023 so far.

I like this show. Part of me is wondering if he's just lying about the 10 breath thing. He's doing 10 breaths for now to save his internal life force until that moment where he will go past 10 breaths to get his revenge at the cost of his life. Qi Tian Feng has already suggested this as a possibility.

She's super pretty and I like her acting. I hope she gets some leading roles on full length dramas.

Am I crazy or does the synopsis not match the first few episodes at all? The parts that seem accurate are - she's a twin, she's a bit precocious and the male lead does not want to marry. That's about it.

Also yeah.... 8 minute episode show. It's not that bad all things considered but it's not easy to follow as someone who watched the first 4 Viki episodes (whatever that equates to for the 8 minute episodes). It jumps around and the characters reference important events I am almost positive were never shown to the viewers. And I'm not talking about referencing a backstory. I am talking about important events to the story itself. IDK maybe something is wrong with Viki. The comments don't seem to make much sense either.

Just a mess all around. It's not horrible and I like the female lead, the male lead isn't too bad either. They deserve chances to show off their acting skills in other dramas going forward.

Episode 1 was bad but as the show goes on it gets better and stronger.

I think the actress playing the female lead is good at acting for comedy. I hope she gets more roles.

Zhang Yue looks beautiful and elegant in this drama, I like the style and hopefully she gets a chance to lead a period drama. The leads are pretty good together. It's light and shorter than most so worth giving it a go to see if you like it.

The last 3 episodes were interesting and attention grabbing despite all the twists and turns but I think the leadup to it wasn't particularly good.

14 episodes feels like the right amount, could have been a bit shorter.

Surprised this doesn't seem to be getting good subtitles despite all the advertising.

The plot is kind of going off the rails. Not very convincing or interesting. Probably played a part in releasing episode 19 early to give viewers something in terms of the romance.

It was boring to me.

"she's just like you!" was a pretty funny moment

Two big names, an interesting fun comedy plot line. Please be good.

It will be interesting to see how faithful this remake is. As described in the article the original had an episodic story format with a series long main story. So each episode she would solve a problem or help someone out with a problem and over the episodes you would get bits and pieces of a bigger story involving her former life as a spy.

I liked the original but Japanese stuff tends to be a bit hamfisted so there is room for improvement (and with a strong writing/directing team and someone like Chae Soo Bin that could happen, it could also fall flat too and be worse than the original). I also wonder if this series will include the movie as part of the series remake.

It's cool they are doing a remake and I hope it's a good watch.
