A satisfying ending that's finally done well. All Chinese screenwriters should take a lesson from this. Overall, I got a bit bored in the second half, so I sped up the episodes, but this ending is really well done. It was worth it for that.
Actually I enjoyed second half of the show more 😅 been kinda done with all dramas stopping at marriage or even before marriage, so it was nice to see a happily married couple for once. The show wasn't outstanding or anything, but was good enough in this current cdrama drought. My main complaint was that for most of the show I felt too little emotions. Dunno if it was the acting, or the dubbing being mostly pretty tame, but I could have used a stronger connections to the characters.
I enjoy the drama. I think I like how the FL have the knowledge about the future but she is not being obnoxious about it and everything is still unpredictable for her
One of the best idol dramas. A solid 9 I would give a 10 if they cut the drama and clean up some story mistakes. Also can we all colective agree that teh ML si a green flag. Such a powerful and support couple so refreshing seeing the chinese dramaland. If have doubts about watching but you love powerful woman, and strong healthy romance with a good politic story line, give this drama a chance. I love this drama so much taht I put my best friend ( she doenst watch any asian content) watching and she love it
it’s not random, if we think of it this way, previous life SM helped the prince in the rebellion, so because things changed so much and he didn’t kill his brother this life, SH ended up helping the prince . Think of it as they switched places. that’s why they had to show why SH flipped, even though he was already brained washed like crazy by their father.
wonderful story; light in its delivery but entertaining - lots of dramatics but nothing unbearable - and VERY easy to watch tbh,. (ie you wont feel frustrated by any of the twists and turns, you wont feel irritated by choices/reactions+ no overly dramatic melodrama for the sake of drama)
awesome couple - who look and act comfortable with each other. noone is annoying or stupid without reason. every secondary character is tied to the story directly, thereby not wasting screen time just cuz (as is done often). definitely filmed by a short drama director as this was like watching a short drama but that lasted ages - the editing and story flow was to the point and without any filler or lingering (its not the most immersive experience -BUT this guy made it work) - usually oddly edited scenes that skip certain events feel weird in all those badly edited shows - but this guy made it work very well without taking away from the show. no ffw was even necessary. again thanks to the director for not wasting any of our time on useless secondary couples/characters that usually add nothing to the story but take away time from our main story/characters. definitely recommend this one
props to the ML for pulling of main character very well - hope he stays the main character in his upcoming shows.
I am so satisfied with this ending. All the evil got what they deserved ( although I wanted the Empress to maybe stay with her mamas boy in that tiny room). Do Zhao and Song Mo got a happy ending. I love happy endings!
