I have no idea what a series has such a low rating. It is so worth the watch. I’ve watched several series that have revolved around war time and family but I think this is by far the best one. It was absolutely amazing. The chemistry among the leads as well as the chemistry among the supporting cast was absolutely amazing. There were so many darn heartfelt moments in the series it is impossible not to cry while watching this series. Although it is revolves around the war it also shows a great deal of love, loyalty, hardship, family and unity. This show absolutely has it all. I can honestly say there were very few things that I did not like about the series but those were few and far. The series follows so many cast members but still manages to stick to the story line and give the lead their time.
I wanted to point that out because it covers the female and her family and those individuals that are involved with her family. The writers did an amazing job with the roles of the supporting cast and chemistry among them all. I just find it absolutely amazing that everyone in the series had great chemistry in terms of relationships either family or romantic in nature. The old family feud and commitment to unity are revealed here as well. This is not just about war and fighting it is about so much more. I will say that what I took away from this was an individuals strength during hardship and also their ability to overcome hardships.

This series definitely keeps to the same vibe as season one. Although this seems to be another universe it really doesn’t give off the vibe of being another universe or anything of that nature. The vibe that I got was one in which someone has a memory of someone or a past life. Although it does not go into the whole past life thing, what you see is an individual that is somewhat drawn to Someone as if they’ve had a history together already but don’t really know why.

What did not change about this series is that its still the male lead that is in pursuit. Our female lead maintains her resistant roll for many many episodes but it gets better. I honestly like this ending a lot better and I also found this one to have a lot more humor in it than the first one.

Just watched on Netflix. It wasn’t as annoying as some Thai dramas I’ve seen. I was however irritated with the FL seemingly going back and forth with her emotions. I did however enjoy the fact that she was not an emotional train wreck and that she was dedicated to being the best she could be in learn everything that he could. That said this one apart from so many dramas that I’ve seen from this country.
Series revolves around a female that leaves home and discovers a love of cooking. It also surrounds her love interest and how she chooses. Overall not bad, a pretty decent ending, but I felt a bit robbed. There’s no major drama, crazy ex girlfriend or psychotic people.

I feel set up. My hopes were so high. I watched the story of Yanxi palace and absolutely loved it. So when I started watching this I was shocked. The quality was the same. Some of the cast were the same but the story itself was a big flop for me. This was 6 episodes and I was almost confused by the last two episodes. They did try to maintain the wits of the cast members. They were cunning and you had the opportunity to see Wei Lou’s teaching to her daughter, Although the writers didn’t give the viewers the opportunity to see her full wits. She used her wits but it wasn’t very evident. She literally had to tell the viewers what and how she did it, unlike the original story where you saw it and understood what was going on. I can only assume it was due to the short series.

I was honestly annoyed by episode one because of the princess behavior. It was supremely spoiled. I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it either.

On another note, it was good to see Wei Lou and the emperor.

Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. They writers tugged at the feels so much, I feel sensitive right now.

This is not a a romantic comedy nor is a a melancholy series. This was pure genius. It was sweet, beautiful and so good. The writing was amazing. This has to be one of the most heart felt k-drama's. The actors were amazing. They will make you laugh and cry. I loved this series. The real life situations that many experience is truly revealed. Definitely some tear jerking moments. The writers will make you fall in love with the characters. Not the typical perky k-drama but definitely upbeat and heartfelt. No loose ends. Everything came together nicely. There was romance, drama, mystery and a little action. Perfect.

Words can’t express my feelings right now, the series started off strong and it has so much depth in it that you could really get into the character. I must admit that the female lead was a bit naïve and at times her personality was supremely annoying but her genuineness grew on me. I absolutely love the storyline of childhood Friends growing up together and later discovering the hidden feelings that each of them have. I really love how the storyline developed. The leads had an amazing relationship and their chemistry as friends or siblings was absolutely hilarious and so real. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a good series to watch. What I didn’t like about the series was the ending. Although I understand how the writers got up to that moment I personally feel like after all of those episodes and all that buildup they ended it depressingly. I deeply regret watching the final episode. I wish I could’ve just made up my own ending. It had one of those endings that left you wondering whether or not things eventually happened or did not. I will tell you that you will finish the series with as much regret as the cast had. I do not recommend this for any hopeless romantic because this will melt your heart but then leave you really angry at the end. Stay away hopeless romantic.

I watch the series twice and I honestly felt like I was watching it for the first time the second time. ????????????It was so intense and heartfelt that you could not help watching. There was honestly only one character in the entire series that you did not like. Hopeless romantic this is your home.
When a professor meets an actress for business things don’t go as planned. This was cute, funny and soo sweet. I Highly recommend this. You will laugh, cry and at times sit on the edge of your seat because you’re not sure what will happen. There’s a little action in it as well but not too much but the things are so engaging that you really cannot get bored at all.

The series was overall pretty good. It starts out funny and it ends funny as well. It was cute Innoway although the relationship revolves around highschoolers eventually heading off to college it was clean and cute. It made me laugh so many times. I really like the character development. You were able to really see the character somewhat mature over time and grow in their relationship. I loved the dad he was rough but genuine and sincere and everything he did. I enjoyed almost the entire series. I like the final episode however I did not like the three episodes leading up to it because there was an issue that took place and it was the routine self sacrificing and ate some wet role in the pleasantness and functioning dynamic of the series for me. Although it wrapped up really well I felt like they could have maintain the growth and the consistency all the way through and it would’ve just made it perfect. I would recommend this Siri say anyone that’s looking for a good laugh and just looking to see how you mature in a relationship. If you’re looking for Romance you might not find it here but you will find cuteness.

The situations you’ll encounter within the series are really eye openers. It will have you thinking about what important in life. I will admit that this is a burner for sure. I warn you all, this is not a romantic drama. This is a drama with tragedy and sad stuff with a hint of love. Don’t be fooled. It’s not bad but it’s not sweet either. This drama surrounds a man that went through hardship as a child and a women who suffered as well. You will also see a lot of their families and the role they played in how they are today. It’s a very sentimental series with a hint of warmth. This was not a great love story. It was so sad. Very few if any upbeat moments.

This is my honest review of this series that could have been.....

I started watching this series after many episodes had aired because I noticed there was a total of 100 episodes in the series. I believe that the plot is good and the casting is great however the level of drama in this series is so extreme that it is annoying and frustrating. At first I was really liking it and could really get into it. There was the typical drama and crazy people but I was hopeful that eventually they’ll get better but after 75 episodes of the 100 my hope is now gone. The evil characters are not only evil, they’re ridiculous, inhumane and without common sense. It could have been great but for me the drama overload killed it. I am aware that the series is about one man’s past and his daughters future and how they are connected but How they chose to script that plot is so sour it hard to bare.
imagine someone having a hard life their entire life. That is bad enough. Now let’s imagine we add drama to someone’s already miserable life. Watching several episodes is like watching the downfall of somebody that’s already on the ground.
Imagine that person being run over by a car then someone helping them up. After the person is on their feet they walk 4 feet and get robbed of all their valuables. This same person will walk five more feet and falls into a well. The misery never ends. Now let’s say that person is a humble mouse without a backbone who is verbally and emotionally abused. Dear goodness. I liked the main couple however I really wish that the writers would’ve did a better job with this. The plot is good but there is absolutely no balance to this series. It is 100% drama, no romance, and no family bonding, no Mystery. Just pure unadulterated mess. Its like jerry springer meets Maury.

We’ve all seen the kdrama with the crazy in-laws, add that in too and they are extremely annoying. It’s as if their characters are psychotic teens. Yes, that level.

Please save yourself. Don’t watch it unless you are a lover of drama overload. I’m trapped now. It’s like a train wreck and I can’t look away. I’ve invested in it and and still hope for damage control.

There is zero happy moments, hundreds of grief moments and a few warm moments after 75 episodes.

I read many reviews about this series in various places, Many of them stated that the series was awful or poorly written. I decided to give it a chance anyway and I am absolutely glad I did. I will start out by saying that if you start the series expecting a traditional romance series you will be very disappointed. This series embodies science, drama, romance at at times fantasy like elements. You will see two people frozen over a period of time and how they attempt to navigate life and/or survive. The first few episodes switch back and forth past and present but after that it’s all present tense. Although it’s not a traditional romance series it does display various levels of love, romance and commitment. You get to experience or at least see the others experience the disappointment, greed and sacrifice that many other cast members made.

To summarize; this series is about two people that were frozen for a certain amount of time and came out much later than they expected. They face challenges and disappointment all along the way but they also have an opportunity to find love and heal as well. I am only on episode 10 so far however I really like this series and I’m excited to see how it ends.

It is very rare that I write a review of a series before it has completed but I feel compelled to do so because of some of the mixed feelings that I have as well as a lot of the comments that I view regularly while I am watching this series. I have watched 25 of the episodes.

I believe that the series is well written and that the acting, wardrobe as well as the scenery and graphics are amazing. I really love the concept of two individuals from what is supposedly the opposite side of the tracks developing a genuine love, sincerity or friendship for one another. I have not been a huge fan of the ML in the past because of one of the series that I watched him in and I just felt like his character was just like too much for me, so I was hesitant to watch this but I have developed a new found love for the ML because he has really shown great acting skills throughout this series.

What I like most about the series is that the ML has really portrayed his character well in every aspect, the good side, the bad side, the protective side, the caring side, the daring as well as bold and fearless. He has really portrayed them all really well. I am also a huge fan of fantasy historical dramas, so this really plays into the genre that I gravitate to. There’s some excellent fighting/power scenes that will make you really want to rewind it and watch it again and there are some heartbreaking scenes in which you see how some of the individuals background and hardships that they went through. I think that they did a really great job giving us a full view of who the male lead was. I really enjoyed watching his scenes and learning about who he was and why he is the way his to who he is right now. It’s amazing.

What I did not like about this series unfortunately was the female leads character. I know many people will disagree but it’s my opinion right. I feel that the writers gave her too many annoying habits/traits that were hard to digest together.
Writers have taken that naïve and innocent character way too far and it teeters on the line of sheer stupidity. I honestly did not like it.
#1The female characters voice sounded like a eight or nine-year-old the entire time. If it was just that I would’ve been able to tolerate it a little better.
#2 they also made her character really naïve and at times completely clueless, borderline stupid. I just don’t think that crap is cute. And I don’t mean the naïve kind like Ji Mi from ashes of love, I mean this was another level.
#3 her character was one that seem to completely be infatuated with the 2ML because he saved her. Because of this she seems to lose all sense of reason.
#4 she constantly got into things that made it appear that she had no survival instinct at all. Who goes to reason with someone that was just trying to kill you and had you tied up.
#5 because of all of these it made it really hard for me to view her and the ML in a more romantic relationship because her character just seems like someone that was 12 years old, unrealistic and that quite honestly needed to be supervised because she’s clueless. She is absolutely cute but those looks can only take you so far.

The action in the series is really good. There are not a significant amount of side relationships throughout the series but there are a few that have significance to the story. In the beginning there’s a lot of screen time but as we got to the middle it kind of dwindled and then they just popped up again. Up to episode 25 the FL is still not gelling well with the ML. She is not sincere, or honest towards him. But she is able to see that he is a person other than what others portray him to be. No budding relationships just yet but the chemistry is okay.

Good series. Great story line, great acting. The series touches areas that aren’t often talked about. Although it had some good qualities I honestly felt that it fell short of character development and story completion. It was some anticlimactic. I was waiting for this powerful speech or major comeback but it just died. The series ended on a note of failure/defeat for our leads with a last moment smile”. You know the kind were you’ve been living for a while and finally tell the truth, a few people are irritated and hate you, you say sorry and then THE END. Nothing more to add. No redemption, no closure. Just bye bye.

Gave it seven stars because it had so much potential to deliver a great message and strength.

I watched it from beginning to end and I found it enjoyable. If you’re looking for a lighthearted comedy, this one is worth the watch. If you’re looking for some romantic components, you’ll get multiple here. You’ll also get some action and some pretty interesting fighting moments. If you’re looking for something swoon worthy, you might not get a lot of it here but you’ll get some sweet moments. The ending was pleasant and I have nothing to complain about.

But I like most about the series with that it was lighthearted and it provided some pretty insightful relationship conversations. There were no crazy relatives and no overly ridiculous characters. In addition to that they were not low triangles which made it all the better for me. The progression moved at a really good pace. There was a good amount of humor, mystery and explanation amount of sweet moments between the main characters as well as the supporting cast. I also enjoy the fact that they’re supporting cast were able to get closure and good endings. I was able to laugh at some moments and he it wasn’t completely predictable, well a little but not completely. I enjoy the fact that the female lead was driven and hard-working and she was also very smart.

I definitely feel like it provided a good amount of entertainment. I also really liked the supporting cast. I enjoyed the funny elements of it, the sweet moments as well as the bits of action that took place. There were lots of teaching moments that were very relevant. They were really enjoyable. What I did not care for so much was the fact that the female lead was somewhat abusive. Yes I know many people will disagree with me or may even find the actions cute. I did not. I’m just being honest. As a female I will be honest and say I didn’t find it cute. I can honestly say that if the roles were reversed and the male was being aggressive toward the female lead like that I wouldn’t like that either. Aside from her being domineering and bits of aggressiveness towards the male lead I found it enjoyable. Sorry not sorry. I’m just not OK with people hitting people simply because they don’t agree.
