More or less but I cheated. I learned Cantonese from watching dramas when I was younger so thereās slight overlap in the languages. But Iām also Chineseā¦just a terrible daughter of Chinese immigrants who failed at learning the language š.
This was terrible. Really terrible. Iām embarrassed for everyone who signed on for this. I came for Tiffany and Luo Jin but their romance development was 0% believable. Iām pretty sure that if they had the choice, they would throw acid on this series so it never exists again.
They portrayed the 2ML as a STALKER. Not only is he a stalker but he STILL gets the girl. I couldnāt believe it. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE to show even in a fictional drama. Nothing about anything he did was normal nor could you rationalize it as āoh but he loved herā. No. It was unacceptable.
They stereotype of black people committing a crime is another mark against this series. Iām disgusted that we are still propagating these horrible stereotypes.
I love the main leads and went on a watching spree of their other shows after watching Princess Weiyoung but this was worse than a flop. Perhaps they needed money desperately and picked up this series but this was SO POORLY WRITTEN. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE WRITING AND DIRECTING. š£ 0 stars.
I made it til ep 12. Are they only dropping one episode a day??? I canāt make it through if itās only one a day š. I loved how flustered she got playing her game to catch ZY and trying to be the flirty one. Now YMR doesnāt know what to do with her awkward self.
I wish every episode could have these scene snippets that show the background of someoneās back story or action.
Iām so smitten with Esther and VZās awkwardly developing relationship.
Im still at episode 3. He still doesnt remember or knows about her? And her doctorate?
Supposedly doesnāt know who she was or about the doctorate yet and Iām on ep 12. I think heās realizing sheās not as ditzy as she plays off to be esp in this arc where they are in her village
Can anyone explain to me who the b*tch is? and what her deal is with Yu Mei Ren? Is it just jealousy?
I think they were HS rivals from the same town. And then they became rivals as adults bc sheās trying to take YMRās job as a new social media influencer.
OMG I binged this all in 24 hours and watched eps 6-10 without subs. My mandarin is sub par but I got the gist of it and I was so smitten with them! This is a light romance and I barely watch any modern shows so the premise is new to me. This is probably the second modern show Iāve seen as Iām usually partial to xianxia and wuxia.
I havenāt seen Vin Zhang since TMOPB bc I couldnāt get past his role there and wasnāt interested in his other roles to date. I came here for Esther post LBFAD and now Iām a VZ fan! I love their cute interactions and VZ slowly coming out of his shell.
Sorry SML/SFL but Iāve fast forwarded past that plot bc Iām stuck on the mains! If youāre on the fence, watch it!
I came here after LBFAD because Iām aimlessly wandering around now.
This was actually a good, chill show to watch while watching for ābigger ticketā shows to air. The group dynamics were super strong and sweet. I love how they always gathered for meals. The dedication and loyalty to the group was really genuine and sweet despite the misconceptions and hiding of identities.
The ability of the ML and FL to be together seemed unrealistic based on how men/women were treated at that time but I totally ignored this, lol. The class gap was too wide and lying to the emperor would have never met with such ease in consequences.
I found it really interesting that they ātorturedā the FL too. This usually isnāt done to the level shown here and itās weird but I appreciated that she got equal treatment and they didnāt spare her the torture which leant more emotional draw into the drama.
Pretty healthy relationship between ML and FL and I like how the cases were quickly wrapped up when the 4/5 Musketeers got together š
Definitely worth the watch. The kisses were better than the usual ātouchmyliponlyā kisses of usual dramas.
Definitely recommend if youāre between series and donāt want to be too emotionally drained! ā¤ļø
SUPER SPOILER FOR BONUS EP RELEASED ON 9/12. ššDO NOT CLICK IF YOU HAVENT WATCHEDšš
It was so nice to hear DFQCs voice again! Two mins was not enough. Itās sweet that theyāve been together for 300 years but no new scenes is disappointing. 2 mins long recap. I guess I should have known given the track record of previous bonuses. I assume the next/last āepisodeā will be for XLHās POV of the last 300 years. I better see a toddler next to XLH when she does her flashback/commentary šš«°š¼š«¶š½
