This drama is seriously overrated. They spend their time being alcoholics and the ML looks like the FL's baby sitter. She acts and talks like she is 12. It is not cute at all. I don't get the high rating.
I've paid vip on wetv so I'm on ep 8....OMG the actress is TERRIBLE. Even I could act better - I don't mind naive characters if they are played well. But she just looks stupid, reallly stupid. I love the ML and this is a proper romance drama (which I love) so I will keep on watching.
for those wanting a story about DengLun and YangZi character, i mean Ashes of Love S1 ended so beautifully that…
It ended beautifully but it was not satisfying enough. They suffered so much but we didn't get to see them as a couple AT ALL. Their chemistry is oustanding (thankfully) but the only flaw of this drama is the lack of passion in their relationship. It was all very innocent or suggested but considering how much they loved each other, I would have loved to see the type of skinship we got with General and I for instance. So second season could be about a more mature relationship and another trial. I wouldn't mind...I've watched many dramas and found it hard to find a couple I was rooting for as much. They just click effortlessly.
I find it opposite of what you said. The ML & FL both have great chemistry! You juz need to give them more time…
I've watched hundreds of dramas and in my experience if the chemistry is not there straight away, it won't get better. There is just something missing. But glad you are enjoying it.
How ironic this drama is for me. I had such high expectations as I found the ML and FL to be outstanding and absolute show stealer second leads in Ashes of love. But as the main couple they fall flat to me. They are objectively good actors but they just don't have "it". No chemistry at all IMO.
After reading more about the ML's personal life character, I have started to boycott every drama he is in. Such a shame as I really loved the Eternal Love.
I was really looking forward to this, especially as I thought it might be a really cute and more fluffier rendition…
It is honestly a great romantic drama. Not too deep but amazing chemistry between the leads, the ML acts the cold but caring character very well (and he is hot and manly) and the FL is funny and a very good actress. If you like romance driven dramas this one is great (better than the other romcoms out at the moment IMO).

Hi, do they have english subs? If so, how many episodes are subbed right now and is it the automatic google translations or proper subs? Thank you!
If you're trying to compare it to other costume dramas like AOL and TMOPB ofc it's not on that range because those…
Nah, I don't compare it with the likes of AOL etc. Nothing to do with the budget. I think the drama is hyped up because of how popular the FL is (all her dramas - good or bad - are hyped)...her acting is samey and over the top and I don't find the ML convincing enough (feels like a boy trying to act manly). Unlike others I don't find it funny (so it is a matter of taste, hence why I said IMO). There are some cute, heart fluttering moments though, but not enough. I compare it with dramas like the Eternal Love or Love better than immortality (I much preferred her perfornance there and the chemistry - she was more raw and spontaneous). Regarding the nails...it bothers me but that's not the reason for my comment lol
The drama is overrated so far IMO. Not worth 8.9!! It is cute but come on now. They shouldn't show the ML's hands...his nails are soo damaged. An alpha male martial art pro who bites his nails doesn't sell the character.
Does Alan come from a powerful family or has a wealthy godfather??? How does he keep on getting lead roles when there is a plethora of more talented, popular and good looking actors. That's really dodgy...
Was there any kiss in Under the Power? I can’t remember. This is ridiculous; why married an actor if you are…
Exactly, that's ridiculous but that's apparently the reason why he doesn't (according to what I've read). No kiss in Under the power and there was no kiss either in Destiny of a White snake (which is a proper romantic drama!!).
