haha trust me, the eye candy in Lost you forever is not something to be missed. And its also very visually stunning, the costumes the sets, CGI they use is lovely.

But if you like strong FL, then Fated Hearts and Journey to love have both FL with strong martial art skills. Both are assassins/fighters or warriors. They don't need anyone to come save them.
The Double: FL is very smart, outsmarts everyone and gets her revenge.

My favourite two historical are Joy of Life and Nirvana in Fire. Both are more focused on politics, intrigue, bromance, solid plot and acting, less romance. Joy of life is more comedic. NIF is more serious. These both have raised the bar for me. Watching these two the plot is so good that you actually don't miss the romance. There is romance, just not the focus.
If you want romance focused, then "Lost you forever" is good with lots of eyecandy, 4 MLs. Reverse harem. The silver haired one stole everyone's heart.

Other ones I liked:
The Double.
Fated Hearts
Journey to love
Story of Kunning palace
Dominion and Devotion (Mini-series, there is an alternative ending on tiktok)
Love like Galaxy

"Romance of tiger and rose" and "a Dream within a dream" - both are more lighthearted and funny. Not as good, as the previous ones but still enjoyable. In both FL either a writer or an actress from modern era and ends up in the script. in Dream within a dream, I was laughing so much the first few episodes.... it slows down afterwards. But if you are in the mood for something simple and fun, these two would be better.

I hope you like these, enjoy!

Honestly I had low expectations, since I was even disappointed with drama such as Queen of Tears, which was overhyped as well. I watch a lot of Cdrama lately, and some of the drama I gave 10/10 were all cdrama. A lot of kdrama have been disappointing lately. Only one kdrama impressed me recently, and that was My Dearest. Of course I don't expect anything less from Nam Goong Min, but even the plot was good. It is loosely based on "Gone with the Wind"

However in general, I prefer Historical Cdrama, and I like modern kdrama...

I'd say its your low expectations...you are satisfied with less. You should watch more and better drama.

I agree with you. I enjoyed the first 4 episodes well enough although it was clear the drama wasn’t very deep or interesting. By ep 5 I was struggling, I had to fast forward quite a bit. I like food but if I wanted to watch a food show I would just go on YouTube for a cooking show, I was looking for romance but there is practically none. The plot is boring. Now I’m on ep 9. I’m disappointed with a lot of kdrama recently. Yoona’s King the land, I dropped it after ep5. I don’t think I’m going to watch any of her other drama. All overhyped.

The Chinese they are speaking is terrible, feels like they are deliberately making fun of the chinese as a group. I'm sure koreans speak better chinese than this. Or they could have hired real chinese actors or dubbed with voice actors. This drama is getting ridiculous.

Its pretty bad, if I'm struggling this early on. I think its trying to compare itself to Mr Queen, but its failing. Mr Queen was a masterpiece in comparison and better chemistry between the leads.

I'm on ep5 and struggling.... its not that good.

Thank you! Will come back next year for sure. Now going to watch a kdrama instead, something easy.
Happy New Year!

thanks for that, I appreciate. I wish this page was designed differently so one could access old comments without scrolling too much. The page goes frozen when I scroll too much.

I decided to drop this drama, I don't like too much CGI and I couldn't get into it. But I only was on ep 1, so I may give it another go when I am in the mood for it.
Merry Xmas :)

Why don't you post this on the Forum Community section? You keep posting this challenge everyday here, and its annoying. I can't find any comments about this particular drama, all I see is your challenge posts. This comment section is for Till the end of the moon drama.

FL is pretty but bad at acting. ML is a good actor, yes his face is not really suitable as ML, but he is not bad as an antihero ML. He played a villain role in Princess Weiyoung. He looks better from the side. Its not the nose thats the problem, it his wide face and wide set eyes.

I'm watching this now and struggling. I'm on ep 9 and contemplating if I should give up or put on hold. But your comment that it gets better, gives me hope. FL is the worst assassin ever, she has no plans or ability to complete her mission. The actress is also not very skilled as an actor, but she is gorgeous. ML is good actor and I love 2nd ML Tan JianCi, watching for him.

I haven't watched this drama, but saw some snippets on youtube. I might watch this, if I run out of good drama to watch. I'm not really fan of either of the leads so I'm not too keen just yet.

However I had the same biff with the ratings on this website being inaccurate. What I notice viewers rating based on actor looks and their favourites, not based on the quality of the drama. I noticed on drama with good looking young actors, the demographic 13-17 year olds always rate it higher than the rest of the age groups. While really awesome drama like Joy of life or Nirvana in Fire, where the ML is neither young or what you would call "hot" the ratings from 13-17 is the lowest. Although I find both MLs in these drama handsome, especially Hu Ge and Wang Kai, but well they are not in their 20s. Its interesting to see the 13-17 year old were the highest numbers of voters for Nirvana in Fire, I seriously can't see teenagers being interested in a politically heavy drama like Nirvana in Fire, unless it was for the strong bromance or BL vibes that some got from it... What I found that works for me is to actually read the reviews from some viewers who give detailed analysis both here on MDL and also on Viki. Many times I decide to watch a drama based on individual reviews from peoplewho are good with words and can articulate exactly why they give the score they are giving.

People ranking based on looks and hotness and young age, not talent. A lot of teenagers in here voting. If it was based on talent, we would see completely different lineup. Not to say he is not good as an actor, but I don't think he stands out significantly more than others. If it was up to me, I'd rate Hu Ge, Ji Sung, NamGoong Min as number 1. Of the young actors, Zhang Wan Yi is quite impressive also Zhang Ruoyun from Joy Of life, wow what an actor.

she is very pretty but she has that face that suits better as 2nd FL or villain role. I think cdrama directors like an innocent looking FL. But she could definitely do more political drama with minimal romance or crime/thriller, more female centric roles would suit her.

Just finished this, great drama.... 8.5/10 for me. Zhang Wan Yi shines, what an awesome versatile actor. I discovered him In Lost you Forever and was impressed by his acting and handsome looks, also his soft soothing voice, i love listening to him! Will watch more of his works. Wang Churan is also great, beautiful lady and natural in her delivery. Both had such good chemistry.. And I also liked the other 2 supporting couples. The actress playing the young empress - she impressed me with her natural acting and humble delivery. You almost feel like she is playing herself. Anyone wondering if they should watch, yes you should, and it is HE for all 3 couples...

Oh come on Paul, come on… just one argument. Just a little one. I promise, I’ll be nice 🤣😎… anyway, you have a good day buddy

Well if you write an opinion, you should be able to accept criticism of that opinion. Because your argument is flawed. And you know it.
