I honestly don't understand how this drama has such a high rating. I saw somewhere that 2025's word of the year…
Yeah I gave it a 7/10... but I absolutely love the first 10 episodes or so. Its was hilarious. I laughed so much. After that FL becomes annoying and the drama just another cliche drama. People in here give high rating because of their favourite actor. Liu Yuning has become everyone's favourite darling. But I liked the actress playing FL, and want to watch her in some serious role -Royal Nirvana.
i just finished watching and if you're still contemplating it, don't watch it, its bad.... the only good thing is ML, his looks, character and chest hair....lol FL is awful. Everytime she gets a note about 2nd ML in danger, she runs to save him despite her being married to ML and knowing ML dislikes her putting herself in danger and running off to his rival. FL makes decisions that defies logic. Save your sanity and don't watch this. I only survived by skipping a lot. This is not a drama where you watch each and every scene because you will get your blood pressure up. Its annoying. But if you love Shawn Dou, then do watch it. He is serious eye candy... looks damn good in Uniform. Just gorgeous manly man.
Just finished this drama, really enjoyed it. Giving it 9/10 score. It is at times a bit boring and slow, but the intrigue is there and I love how intelligent the FL is. She gives me the Mei Changsu vibe from Nirvana in Fire, both have such strategic intellect, they always have a plan. There is no romance in this drama, so do not expect it however there is moment when you think surely a kiss is coming... There is genuine warmth between them and affection like friends and they work together even when you think they are not. I'm hoping for season 2 with romance, that would be lovely.
From what I understand, they were filming the last few episodes while they were already airing, and the viewers…
Feeling triggered? It’s been months since I read the source. I’m not going to go research on it for your pleasure. The source I read was direct translation from Korean. So go look it up. And yes director can change the scenes based on viewer feedback. The basic plot didn’t change but the scenes that they showed at the end changed. Why do you think there was conflict between ML and director in the first place? 🙄
Will Lusi make dramas again? I don't see any new ones on her list.
She is working less now, after her illness. She left her agency that she had trouble with, now she has signed with a new agency and she has more control over her contract and choices. Good for her.
The ratings are high, but I just don't understand why like at all. If you like your FL to be smart, cunning, or…
she is badass, she had to survive on her own as a child abandoned by her family, then rise again, become a doctor and live among the mortals build a new family with them. She was beaten and starved as a child, her energy sapped so she lost some of her powers, and almost eaten by that devil fox. To survive all of that and to come out without needing any medication for mental health... these days people go to a therapist for a lot less.
Just because she doesn't have martial arts skills doesn't mean she is not strong or cunning. She had the inner strength to survive. Strength comes in all shapes, not just physical strength but the badass inner strength that helps you to survive despite the odds. Even Tushan Jing, survived countless times, because even he had the inner strength and resilience, although most see him as a weak cowardly based on some of the comments here....
If you want to watch a warrior FL, watch Journey to love or fated hearts. And Please understand human nature a bit better so you don't make dumb comments again.
All the ones I mentioned, except for Joy of life and Nirvana in Fire are romance.
Lost you forever - 4 MLs. 3 of them are obssessed with FL. They are all immortals, live thousands of years. They can use spiritual powers etc.. It was a feast for the eyes, very visually stunning. CGI was exceptional and amazing acting. And all the 4 men are sso damn good looking....and there are other eye candy there too. lol And of course FL, actress Yang Zi, she is very talented. At the start she has to play a male, so even her voice is low, yet then she becomes so girly in later episodes, when she is the woman and wearing beautiful dresses. It is HE, but your heart may still be broken depending on which of the 4 MLs you were rooting for.
If you want something more lighthearted then "a Dream within a dream" or "Romance of tiger and rose" is for you. I laughed so much watching them both. Most drama with Zhao Lusi are comedic and easy watch. "Love like the Galaxy" is also with her, actually the best drama with her. Very much romance focused.
"The Double" was also very good, romance focused and revenge. At the start, FL is literally buried alive by her husband, she claws her way out the mud and takes on identity of another woman who is murdered. She goes to the family of that dead girl as her, takes revenge for that girl and for herself. Along the way she meets ML, who helps her, he's the Duke who works as some type of police or inspector of sorts. The ost of this drama is so beautiful, there is a scene where the evil princess dies (her husband gets entangled with the princess), and the music and that death scene took my breath away... I listen to that song everyday.
There are newer drama that have come out this year, that I haven't watched but you can check them out, they are all romance focused: Shadow love, Blossom, Prisoner of Beauty. they all have high ratings and much talked about.
