Agreed. I don't like a single character. The script is just too dumb. The acting is awful. How did this get produced?
It's produced by VivaOne. The web novel must be really popular because thats all they do is adapt popular wattapad stories and produce them. They don't care about bad acting.
Like I knew going in it'd be dumb becaue I've watched VivaOne's dramas but this is on whole new level.
The screenwriter is so predictable. He lets the characters almost achieve success, and then snatches it from them to prolong the story. I rolled my eyes at Zhuang Zhuang's mother being sick and Xu Shen Li not being able to produce the movie because this was obvious if you watched the drama from the start. Also the way the screenwriter wrote Jelly Lin and the 2ML's characters to be so miserable is so infurating. Those two were the happiest at the start and now look at them.
Having dreams doesn't mean you have to be miserable to achieve your goal. I wish the writer could understand the concept instead of writing the same episode back to back with a splash of gang violence here and there for some razzle dazzle. If the drama wasn't almost done I'd drop it.
I gave it four episodes, but this is just too stupid for me. I can deal with the bad acting, the illogical plot, but the stupidity of every single character is too much for me.
I read the book, ZLH is exactly how the character is described in the book. And I assure you, even if he wasn't wearing makeup the man would still be pretty. What do they want him to do alter his face? At the end of the day it's an idol drama no one is seeking realism.
We have twelve episodes left and so far, not one person has remotely come close to achieving their dream. Now the main leads are in Russia, of all places, selling clothes?
I also don't understand what they're doing to Jelly Lin's character. First, she got the role of 3rd female lead after going well and beyond to appease the director, only for them to snatch away the role. She then sucked up to a new man, stopped when it became too much and now she's relying on him? This is very dangerous and annoying to watch. I get that a lot of people have to have connections to become an actress, but how amazing would it have been if we watched her become an actress without ever having to do that?
I hope the next few episodes get back on track because I really want the main focus back on them trying to reach their dreams. It's starting to become like filler episodes, although the leads romance scenes are always the hightlight for me
This drama had the potential to be a masterpiece. The politics was messy and not as fleshed out as it should have been, and I blame the 40-episode cut-off. It would have been better if they had gone the route of Lost You Forever and Flourished Peony and made this a two-part drama.
I will give this drama some credit, though, the romance, cinematography, fight scenes (I wish there was more) and acting was well done, so for that reason alone, I'll rate it a 9.5.
Does anyone know why this drama keeps getting unnecessary hate on Twitter? It hasn’t even been released yet
The keep comparing it to short drama republican dramas. They believe all those dramas are toxic, trashy, and don't have good storylines. Every time they saw a clip of behind the scenes where ZLH's character grabbed the FL or kissed her they'd get pissed as if anyone is forcing them to watch.
That poor soldier probably thinks Si Mu and Duan Xu are into some kinky stuff when he caught Si Mu on top of Duan Xu with her hand around his neck. 😂This show has a lot more humor than I was expecting. And side note, whoever is doing the makeup is doing amazing, Dilarba looks so beautiful.
The perfect ending for this drama would be the FL lives a long fulfilled life in that era with the ML, and when she dies, she wakes up in the present timeline and meets the ML again, and he remembers their time together.
This drama had zero substance. The storyline is nonexistent, the romance is artificial (when exactly did they fall in love?), and the intimate scenes were straight trash. I swear it would be two lines of dialogue, and then they'd go straight to kissing because there was no more lines. Also the kissing scenes were terrible. Han Jae Hun was straight eating his face (zero passion), and the intimate scenes were equally as bad because what even was that? Han Jae Hun would put a piece of cloth on Kim Hae Jun and really do much of nothing. Quite embarrassing if the writer/ director was going for BDSM.
They are dating without being official 🥰I love them! The second couple is equally good.
I like the second couple as well. The dinner scene with the 2ML's family and Jelly Lin's character was really cute. They already consider her there daughter in law.
I can't believe a lot more people aren't watching this drama. It's really good and Bai Yu and Zhang Ruo Nan scenes together have been my favorite. They aren't a couple yet but they very much feel like one.
I was expecting to just watch one or two episodes to get a feel of this drama (because I'm already watching so many drama atm) but this was so good that I ended up breezing through all four. I don't know if romance is a factor in the future but the leads have really good chemistry.
This drama was fine (I'd put it on the same level as Exclusive Fairytail), not extraordinary or great. I liked the main couple's relationship. It felt very natural how they progressed from friends to lovers. I also like the second ML. He had zero chance, but poor guy tried his best. He was written well and didn't annoy me while on screen, like 2ML's at tend to do at times.
The only thing I didn't like, and pretty much ruined some of the drama for me, was the second couple. They were that couple that broke up over dumb things and constantly got back together, and when they broke up, they made it uncomfortable for everyone around them. It was so obvious that they shouldn't be together, but the writer kept pushing it. Honestly, what a waste of screentime.
Anyways, this gets a 7/10 from. It has zero rewatch value for me, but again, the leads are cute when they finally get together.
You can tell this is dated and made in the early 2010s, and I love it. I grew up watching dramas around that era so this feels so nostalgic to me. I hope they'll release more older dramas in their vault.
