The current rating of 8 for this drama, is the reason why so many people don't trust MDL ratings, and get help from ratings in other sites like imdb, douban, namu and so on.
It is absurd that this drama has the same or higher rating than much better dramas (script, directing, acting) many of them highly awarded:
---- Same rating than: Something in the Rain, Mysterious Love, My Lethal Man, Tomorrow With You, The Secret Life of My Secretary, She Was Pretty, You're Beautiful, The Package, Love Shuffle, Mr. Bad, My Sassy Princess, Professional Single, Boss & Me, City of Streamer, Before We get Married, Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto, You Are so Sweet, Faith, The Innocent Man, Memories of the Alhambra, Hero, Captivating the King, etc etc etc
---- Higher rating than: Put Your Head on My Shoulders, Descendants of the Sun, My ID Is Gangnam Beauty, Lovestruck in the City, Love the Way You Are, Well-Dominated Love, Dinner Mate, Meteor Garden, Destined to Meet You (2022), Twenty Your Life On, Love Affairs in the Afternoon, My Amazing Boyfriend, Wednesday 3.30, Bromance, Heart to Heart, Devilish Joy, Love Generation, Rinko-san wa Shite Mitai, My Sunshine, Cunning Single Lady, Cinderella and the Four Knights, I Wanna Be Sup'Tar, Love Designer, Introverted Boss, The Romance of Hua Rong, That Winter the Wind Blows, I Don't Love you Yet, Buzzer Beat, The Love by Hypnotic, She and Her Perfect Husband, Behind Your Smile, Arang and the Magistrate, and hundreds of others.
Overacting galore as usual for Thai dramas, except the ML who acted very good. It's more of a 6, but I gave it 7 because it was entertaining when i needed a brake from other dramas. I used 1.25 video speed in almost every episode (you know, those long closeup Thai camera shoots lol)
I don't like his hair style in those wedding pictures đ
In my opinion, there's no hair style that suits him, he has that kind of thin face, not even a slightly square jaw, which makes it difficult to make it look attractive. I repeat: I'm stating my opinion, which is not open for discussion, you know what they say about personal tastes lol
I won't read comments or reviews, I'll watch this drama even if the rating is low. I fell in love with the acting of Wang Xing Yue in Amidst a Snowstorm of Love and in YSMD, a very promising young actor. After some 2024 highly rated dramas that let me down, at least with him I'll enjoy both his acting and his beauty lol.
Overall great watch, last episode was confusing ( probably due censorship ).. still HE.. đAmazing chemistry…
Is this a 'book'' in a drama due to the time travel censorship? I dislike this, and the reason I haven't watched Joy of Life and several others as well.
I just finished the Youku version. And I'm considering watching the Viki version, Netflix version and Disney+…
Viki has been a hit-miss for me with Chinese, sometimes they are good with explanations, other times their meaning is wrong, especially newly released dramas that haven't been curated well. Netflix usually has better subs in any language, they have big budgets to pay for good translators, and that's why they release already with subs available. And more important, they have millions of paid subscribers around the world and can't afford to build a bad reputation with any subs.
Happy for the 'book' story inside the drama, because the FL only meets the ML for the first time few minutes before the end. Thankfully I found out before watching it. I know they are done so because of censorship. But for me, the disrupting fact that it's a story within another, it renders meaningless the 'book' story I watched before the end,
