Thankfully, there's not too much of what you mentioned so far. I think there will be some jealousy, but we'll have to see. So far the main couple are kind of sweet. SML syndrome might hit pretty hard for some people I think
In this romance is it come from jealousy or is the ML a lovesick fool, or FL is damsel, weak or manipulative?
I’d say none of the above. Both have clear goals in their minds and are at their core good people and want common people to live well. The romance in my opinion from what I’ve seen in the first 6 eps has not yet really started. There may be some feelings, but it’s only the beginning.
I really like the Anime Saiunkoku Monogatari!!!! I was shock when I watch it and find the story is familiar!!I…
It's mostly lighthearted so far, but there are some seeds for some potential drama/angst down the road. I'm not familiar with the original anime, so I'm not sure how much was changed for the drama. It's a watchable, light entertainment drama for relaxing for me so far.
I don't get the harsh criticisms this drama get. It's a romance comedy. The characters, scenes, story, plots and…
I agree. I've only seen 1 episode, but they definitely are not dumb. It's pretty obvious that Qi Zheng is purposefully behaving one way but has plans. Fan Yun equally has her own plans and is using him - not maliciously but she has her own agenda at this point. She also genuinely cares about people and wants to do something for them. They don't trust each other at this points, which is a great starting point to develop their relationship. And I agree with you, I want to see where it goes.
And yes, there is comedy. It's not overbearing at all to me - sometimes it's too much in dramas, but I think here it's been fine. It's not as biting or clearly satirical as in A Dream Within A Dream (a drama I really loved especially for its use of comedy), but I think the comedy in this drama works ok. My favorite bit so far in ep 1 is when her Dad served that "tea" (basically a bunch of tea leaves soaking in cold well water).
im watching episode 1, and the dub is like half a second too fast. does it get fixed in later episodes?
It's a bit off in places, I agree. But overall, it's not too jarring as far as performance goes, at least for me. I feel like the voice actors dubbing actually do fit the characters here. For example, it's the same VA dubbing for Li Yitong here as in Sword and Beloved, but here it actually works better (maybe because of the character setup). In SAB, the character was so dull that it sucked out the life from the overall performance.
Haven't seen the original source material so can't comment there, but after the first episode, I'm pleased that it's not a silly, overly comedic story that the trailers seem to indicate. There's more than meets the eye to all the characters (including Lou Qiyan, who appears only in the last few seconds). Qi Zheng is obviously pretending to be a certain way but has clear goals (we just don't know what yet). Fan Yun appears to be a typical bubbly young lady, but she has her own aspirations and goals too.
