Guys - it’s been 9 days and I am still yearning for another good drama. Started guardians of dafeng - the misunderstanding trope is beginning to annoy me. Tried Begin Again - maybe I’ll revisit it.
Dunno, if you don't like the first two episodes you may as well drop it. My favourite episode is ep. 1 so I can't…
You’ve gotta lower your expectations a few notches for My Uncanny Destiny. It’s a low budget drama and it’s apparent. But funny if you like that kinda humor.
2 episodes in, but I m not getting all the hype for this drama! Looked pretty average in these 2 episodes so far.…
Different dramas appeal to different tastes. I see you’re watching guardians of dafeng - a very different type drama. Maybe you’re enjoy that more. You are right that the hype may give you higher expectations. Many people have expressed different reasons why they like it. Maybe they’re not the criteria that makes you enjoy a drama.
A few reasons For me :
- quality detailed costuming - fleshed out characters regardless of whether they are “good” or “bad”. - no forced romance, flows with the plot instead of the plot supporting the romance. - actions for the most part are consistent with the character’s character - good balance of humor, angst, drama, romance, politics - engaging - creative story telling - no overboard skin smoothing!
Not sure why eps1/2 were no go for you. I rewatched them back while waiting for new eps and found so much more details I missed the first time around.
I guess the kisses are on the later half? On ep20 and still none!
I am not sure what kind of kinship you are hoping for but you will be disappointed if you are looking for juicy kisses. The love and romance is there but no in your face kissing.
HE or SE? is it really worth 8.9? that's pretty high view like JOL ranking.
It’s probably better than JOL although they’re both close. What’s nice about this drama is the balance of all elements - chemistry, cinematography, politics, fleshed out characters, pacing, storytelling, directing, acting. Ml is actually riding a real horse because he knows how to. The costuming is amazingly detailed and exquisite. You can tell the love, care and dedication poured into it.
I am enjoying the drama, but it is starting to have so many similarities with LLTG, I am tempted to rename it…
Interesting - I don’t see that at all but I didn’t sense that strong of chemistry between the leads as I do here. And the 5 yr suffering towards the end didn’t make sense to me.
