I too thought the use of the OLympics was clever. A much broader reference than BTS's Dynamite(which was fun)…
The impact of the revised JML only dawn on me after comparing the FLs. I realised they can't sustain the narrative if they follow the same energy level. Satoh-san helped to balance the scale. π If only we can get c-dramas to lose 20 eps and everything will be golden. π€£π
Your critique was spot on for me! Something that hit me, was your tribute to Uncle Zhou. Gulp, it made me tear…
Thank you for your kind remarks. Yes, it is rare that a support character left such a strong impression. I felt his pain. He was in limbo for all those years. When he told his wife they found her killers and then finally moving into the flat they were going to live in hit me hard too. Thank you dear writer for giving him room to grief. π Yes, it is the chemistry of our leads that got me past the rough patch. The reward is real. ;)
I had three thoughts running through my mind while I read on.1. As someone who enjoys complicated dramas..I think…
It could have been a 9 if the first half has been more to my liking. π Ahh, Lighter and Princess. It has been sitting on my PWL forever! I even tried to start it once and then the urge fades away. I don't know why. Maybe it is time for another attempt. π€
I forgot to mention, the fact that the FL didn't kill the Empress Dowager earlier meant that she acknowledged…
That is what I mean the plot zigs instead of zags. Just when you thought the plot is developing logically, it goes a little off kilter. A bit unsettling. It gets the job done, but it feels off.
"She is dead Jim...she is dead" I played this line way too many times in my head as I read on, a whole…
You are killing me! ππ€£π That was a stupid, stupid plot twist that dropped my rating of this by 1 star right there and then. I knew we are in for a bumpy ride right there. :( Hmm, the realm is at peace and people are happy . . If there is a 2nd Jasmine it can be subtitled, "How to Get Pregnant Without Sex". π«£
I too was disappointed in the ending. To me the emotional climax peaked too early- episodes 32-34 when we understand…
I forgot to mention, the fact that the FL didn't kill the Empress Dowager earlier meant that she acknowledged her positive contributions to the kingdom. She has not forgiven her though.
Reading your thoughts,all I can think is this was the wrong title. Instead of "Love had Fireworks" or…
I'll gladly take one for the team. π Sometimes writing the review is more rewarding than the actual watch. It might sounds crazy, but you have to find returns wherever you can. π
Iβm always surprised at how much our thoughts align when you give a review. I totally agree with everything…
Tyvm! I'm glad that our views are similar. I definitely share your pain in this case. There were at least 2 occasions when I was tempted to sloth quit, but the show fed me just enough sugar to keep going. That was a mistake. LoL

The JFL is good. You can't expect someone to step into the PMY's role without any variation.

It will get easier next time. :)

This is not an BL drama, last time I check. π
