I'm only on ep 2 but the acting in this drama is top notch. Some of the best I've seen. Especially Third Lady's mother. Her acting has my mouth open. She's so good!
His Yan Shao hairstyle seems better once we get to see his hairstyle when he is Chu Tianyao.
Don't have the patience to wait that long. It looks bad and cartoonish. I shouldn't have to sit and wait for someone's hairstyle to be fixed. Glad you enjoyed but I want be changing my mind on this one.
A nice drama. I love mystery/crime dramas. I'm new to the female lead and she's amazing. The ML is on my nerves. I don't like his character at all. I'm staying for the FL and cases and hoping the ML can grow on me.
I sorta finished it. I got to ep 10 but the dynamic between ML and FL was just not enough for me to push through 38 episodes. The show is beautifully shot but not a fan of the main characters. Such a pity cause we only get 1 or 2 military dramas a year. I watched the last episode after seeing multiple discussions and I agree it is a sad ending. Which makes me happier that I didn't power through to the show. Cause if I would've watched all the episodes and got that final ending..I would've be so upset.
I finished. I give it a 9. The ending to me was a little lackluster and it dragged quite a bit in last 10 eps. I saw someone say BL and AP characters felt more like friends and I agree. I couldn't get into their romance which is such a same because they are fantastic actors and BL is my favorite actress. I would love to see these two in a modern drama. I think they'd have more chemistry in that. But minus few complaints I'm happy to see BL and Ao Peng is slowly growing on me. I enjoy almost every drama he is in.
Finally a HE! And I need both leads in a xianxia together. The FL is absolutely gorgeous and ethereal and ML and that white hair...I need to see it for more than two eps.
I love Seven and it pains me to drop this cause she's very selective with her roles so you don't see her all the time. But I can't push on. I'm on ep14 and I struggle to watch this. Idk what it cause this type of drama is up my alley. It might be the pacing or the fact that Ying Ying literally gets zero breaks. Literally once she defeats one event..a new one pops up. Even in dramas with BE the heroine gets a small break
What is the connection / similarity?Do you recommend Love of Nirvana for people who enjoyed this, or ones that…
It's almost opposite of Love of Nirvana. Happy ending and very quick romance. Love of Nirvana is an excellent show but it's a slow paced romance but with beautiful love and a BE. Love in the Desert is a good palate cleanser to get over Love of Nirvana.
This was a nice surprise. I stumbled on this show and didn't expect much. Seeing Wang Yu Wen sucked me in. So pretty and love her acting but then just everyone in the cast in general also made me stay. Definitely Modern drama of the year for me.
I consider this completed and stopped at ep 10. The mystery was pretty easy to solve and the story was becoming a little cliche to the point you could guess what was going to happen. I'm disappointed cause I wish there was more focus on the business. It seemed like after ep 5 or 6 they would just say they have work and that's it. But you didn't see any of the parties or business plan talks.
Dropped. The Main leads just don't have chemistry to me. They look good together. Also, there relationship I really don't care to explore more. Kinda wish the third couple was the main leads
The acting in this is so good! I started this cause I love Jeremy and watch anything with him in it. He's such good eye candy. But he's making me hate him so badly..he's playing a hell of role. I never been an Allen fan. His acting is good but something about him never stuck for me. But this role of his ..to me is his best. And yes I've watched most of his shows except with Dileraba. Anyway I really like Allen now.
This show is so realistically good. I know it may seem silly to those not use to the drama, but it's a good depiction of relationships for those in their 20s. The drama, cheating, back and forth, love triangles, unsure about life career and scammy guys just trying to come along for the ride. This may not apply to your past on your 20s but the average woman today goes through these issues, me included.
This is a fluffy drama but just enough action, drama and mystery to keep you intrigued. It really picks up around ep 14. I wish more fluffy dramas would do this cause usually I'm bored about half way through.
Also, I usually hate amnesia but because it happens right from the beginning it's a lot more tolerable
I tried I really did. Got to ep 8 but couldnt do it. I love the idea of the DNA but every other ep she was coming up with a new theory of how to find her Mr. Right. I get she was hurt and this is her defense mechanism but it was exhausting. And the poor ML who is one of my fav actors did everything he can to keep up with her antics.
Also, there's too many couples. I barely care about the 2nd couple in an average drama. Yet alone 3 side couples. And sometimes they took up half the episode. I was tired of fast forwarding. Iqiyi just dropped like 10 new dramas at the same time so no point of me sticking around watching this when there's plenty others to watch
Good show up till about ep 9.
