I'm only on episode 5 but I hate the King. and can't stand the second ML.
Why would you have scholars a.k.a people who most likely have never wielded a weapon a day in their life come and save you? Then people around him are telling him that people are starving and dying and this man has no response. He's so pathetic and weak and only cares about himself. Why would anyone risk their lives to save him? That's why I like the ML he sees the bull and isn't afraid to call it out.
The second ML is a chop for me. Instead of trying to protect the king, he should be by his future wife's side or the FL (because he's clearly is in love with her even if he's too weak to admit it). But for some reason, the King is more valuable than their lives. I don't see how he had two women fall for him.
I guess I see the appeal. Domineering FL CEO and Sweet ML Doctor--a.k.a good role reversal does sound like it'd be worth the watch. And at first, it actually was a pretty decent show the FL had all the tropes a male domineering CEO would have but I'd say around the 20-ish episodes is when all that good execution the drama built went down the drain.
So many things ruined this show for me: -The amount of episodes was too excessive for a plot this simple. (I'd say 22-24 episodes would have been more than enough for this drama). -Less screen time with the side couples. I wouldn't have minded them if their love stories were actually good/decent. But both were terrible and I found Tang to be annoying and the 2FL to be pathetic the way she begged Simon to be with her. -A crisper plot. I felt like the plot went haywire and the writer(s) didn't even try to clean it up. -The reason the FL left was so anti-climatic and stupid. I wish the writers would have come up with something better. She could have joined him in Germany for a year and problem solved. -The Villian being forgiven like what is this???
I gave this a 7.0. And I don't foresee myself ever rewatching this mess. I don't blame the actors they did their job it was just the material they were given that let me down.
I like your username. That drama was interesting even if it was a bit short and ended abruptly.
I can promise the last episode will make you smile not sad. Some people don't believe the last episode was real (they think it's a dream and some of us don't think it's a dream and think it's real. So that's what I mean when I say you can either think of it as a HE or a SE.
But either way, the last episode is not sad. I'd watch. The ML is one of the best husbands in dramaland.
I was trying to give enough info without spoiling it for you.
I know Chu Kong's brother is evil but the man planned everything so meticulously that I can't help but to stan. What can I say I'm a sucker for smart villains.
He should be overly booked and busy with a main role in the works. He needs new agency because there should be no reason his dramas are this scarce after LFD.

I read in an article that the producer found it to be a sad ending and the director saw it as a happy ending. I think we as the viewers are meant to interpret it the way we see fit. I've watched a few of the directors dramas and they have all been happy endings so I see it as a happy ending.
This is one of the few actors/actresses I always trust. She's very selective when it comes to the dramas she does and it reflects well in her acting. So, I have high hopes for this.
The intro song to this drama has a sad melody with lyrics that range from beautiful to hopeful. It gives you a small glimpse of what to expect when watching this drama.
I have to say that I wasn't impressed at first. The first three episodes were not my cup of tea. I wasn't fond of the FL and I hated how the drama started off the bat with a depressing tone instead of delivering it to us in the middle (like most dramas). But the more episodes I watched the more I understood why the writers did that. I also started to really enjoy the FL in the fourth episode (I should always have faith in Yang Zi).
This is a romance story but in my opinion, it's secondary in this drama. People who have had to take care of sick parents will understand this story. It's tough to always have to put on a smile and live your life knowing that a person close to you is slowly deteriorating and there is nothing you can do about it.
I cried, smiled, laughed, and cried some more throughout this drama. Especially the last episode (the wedding and vows were top-tier).
I gave this drama a 9/10. The acting by the leads and the FL's parents was superb. I just hated the second couple. They felt like a filler couple (just there to waste screentime) in my opinion and both were just toxic and at times ruined the vibe of the show. The third couple isn't even worth mentioning.
Based on the Netflix trailers, Monkey D. Luffy seems to be the main character, not Roronoa Zoro?
Technically the whole straw hat crew are main characters but Luffy is the lead. He's the captain and his entire goal is to find the one piece. Without him there would never be a crew.
I don't understand why they have Zoro first and Luffy on the second row.
