Am I the only one who thinks that the actor who played the role of Emperor did a fabulous job? His expressions and actions are so exact of someone who's a puppet emperor while trying to pretend he has power and wants to have a say.
You have written this review very well. Just 1 thought on the statement you made "why is it that female characters don't want to have children and get pregnant?" This is not a rant, it's just an FYI:
In most Asian countries, a woman having children means your career goes down the drain. Even if you are a very high potential candidate, you will always be considered second-best because "women will not work extra due to their household duties." Working "above and beyond" your job description is expected by employers. It is not that they don't want children, but having them will set you back 10x fold in the career ladder. Even if you are not ambitious, you still need to earn money because cost of living is so high and social policies to support women and children does nothing to help. That means, you end up being dependent on the husband/family. Not the most ideal situation if you're in a bad marriage or a divorce-like situation or have bad in-laws, etc. Basically, our society structure is patriarchal in nature so women end up sacrificing one way or another.
If you meant something else then do let me know. I may have misread your comment.
We're all so sad that you dropped it, what a loss for this drama.
Not really. There are currently 82 reviews and nearly 5000 users have given this show one of the highest ratings on MDL. For an unfinished show, that's alot. So maybe just a 0.01% loss.

😂😂😂😂 your comment made me laugh. I certainly sense alot of fangirling for this show. The extremely high rating (that too for an unfinished show) speaks volumes.
After i posted my comment and checked others opinions did I realise that I'm not the only one feeling this was 🤧
I mostly agree. Especially lack of chemistry, great Ren Hao, and interest in the Go couple.
Right! It feels one-sided. The FL falling in love was still okay but the I never understood when exactly did the ML develop feelings for her. They barely show what's going on his head. It just felt like they were roommates who are being forced into romance.
[DROPPED] Twas a decent show... Started it coz of all the hype on MDL Feeds 😅 It wasn't bad BUT - neither is the romance plot nor is the political plot captivating me anymore. It's feeling dragged and going in multiple directions. Pacing feels off. They're trying to balance between both genres but not able to merge them properly. - Also not a fan of the all the "flying" unrealistic action. - The chemistry between ML and FL is missing. - I am interested in the Go couple. I'll wait for the show to end so I can find out what happens. - Ren Hao is so gorgeous 😍 - FL's character has so much depth. ML feels like an empty husk. - The characters and casting is very nice (both good and evils ones). - There was good comedy. Though sometimes there was comedic BGM added even though the scene was serious. - And why is it always looking like sunset in the village where her house is? 🤒
Everything else is fine but it's the plot and pacing that failed me.
I was already feeling bored in the first 10 minutes itself. Thought I'll check out the confession/kiss/love scene compilations on YouTube insted. ( I have decided on watching a whole series based on the kiss scenes alone. ) But this was so bad. Bad direction and even worse chemistry. Glad I didn't get past 10 minutes and waste my time.
For me, the baby's life was the most shocking! It was funny 1 second. Absolutely terrifying in the next second. I literally felt as helpless as the baby itself as the camera angled from the baby's POV 😵 That was a life worth a million morals on how grateful the protagonist should feel to be surrounded by people who love and care for him. Unfortunately they don't speak about it much and only make it seem like a cruel joke played by Death to delay his time.
so at the end second chance means that he's back in time he will be himself again and all his loved ones are alive…
Yes the assumption is that everything returns to its original state. It would also mean that the lives he saved will end up suffering/dying as they were originally meant to
I loved this show knowing that each character here is walking-talking red flag 🚩 Especially Prof. Kitano! His character is adorable but you would never wanna date this kinda insecure fragile person in real life 🤣
He's super cute!!! He has very pretty eyes ~ Loved him in both Death's Game and When the Phone Rings. Hope he progresses to better support roles and main roles!
I'm very confused. I don't recall seeing this actress in Death's Game. How is she in the support role? Feels like a mistake in the editing. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

It would be fun to see a spin-off where he has to now ensure the other lives he lived are saved through his actions.
Xing Ke Lei and Mi Ka are one of the best-chemistry couples!
