the plots were done right and both leads had their own way of showing their clever charm, especially the bromance and sisterly-bonds. However the conclusion of revenge could've been better. The treason events unfolded quite realistically so it might not be everyone's cup of tea unless they want something Raw. I agree that the show was quite draggy at the end bcuz they kept stretching the well-made plots which didn't need any stretching. But this is an entertaining watch and might be for people who are a bit mature since people usually like to take revenge as bloodthirst, but miss out on revenge being a calculative warfare for an individual at a position like the FL. She is ruthless but not foolish to expose her weakness and lose herself in the sight of quick revenge. She calculates and never pities her enemies putting them in their places from where they can never strike again. She might not have brawn but she definitely has brain bcuz ML is the one who provides her with the brawn. Silly for ML to be used that way but yeah well, it's still not disappointing.
If you're confused, just give it a try for 8-10 eps, and you'll know whether it's your type of stuff or not
after watching double...I just fell in love with this actress. She might be one of the best chinese actress out there, all her emotions are on point. She doesn't look old as per her age, they can cast her in a lot of genres so I wish to see more of her works desperately bcuz her upcoming stated works are not something top notch( except the one with chen zheyuan) , so I wish she receives better projects
zhang chi and byeon wooseok could literally pass as twins any day.....whenever one of them is on screen I can't help but think about the other bcuz of their striking resemblance
After story of pearl girl and love ambition i will say any new drama of her will never give the same feeling her…
I feel the same....it's such a disappointing thing since she was once known for amazing acting skills where she could bring the drama to life but now the vibes are so polished that it doesn't often fit the character. People change especially in her case, and it's fine and I absolutely love her for being herself but watching dramas is my primary hobby and I really like doing that a lot so I can't sit watching a drama that looks very superficial. She used to be carefree in her acting but it seems like she weighs all her actions and words everywhere. I hope she gets to live carefree again in future
This was really calm and peaceful and yet very enjoyable. I didn't expected the cultural restoration trope to actually intrigue me so much. It wasn't boring at all. Last 3-4 eps were quite weird to watch for me personally, they didn't gave off the natural vibe this drama had and made the leads look a bit foolish as compared to how they felt so smart,calm and composed from the start. But I'm glad that the ending episode went back to the original pace and vibe. Overall it was a great watch and worth recommending to someone who actually wanna heal a little bit through dramas. Despite people thinking that it's gonna be slow paced, it actually wasn't. It was quite well paced most of the time. If you're looking for non cringe , pure romance with sprinkle of cultural restoration and finding a soulmate whose presence feels like you are YOU then This is for you!
attractive is a subjective term so I won't debate on it.....I agree he's not exceptional yet, I find a lot of…
sure! Sometimes it's just that we need to give things a little try and it's amazing if our perspective changes whereas it's still fine if it doesn't. Everyone has their own opinions, you got yours, others got theirs, and it's all fine at the end of the day
Wang Xing Yue- I’ve seen him in some works, and honestly, he’s a very bad actor and quite unattractive. He…
attractive is a subjective term so I won't debate on it..... I agree he's not exceptional yet, I find a lot of his characters not so well worked out. but that doesn't mean he's a bad actor. Bcuz he also has done a lot of roles where he just made the things perfect. the art of expressing himself might be not upto the mark but he can act a lot of types of roles still. He will only get better and better in future, bcuz rn he's a lot more better than how he was in his first ever roles
I started it years ago but my heart couldn't take on their broken friendship back then, yesterday after so many years I started this again(from the boost I got after watching mobius) and successfully completed it. People might ask me how was I able to still feel the same emotions as back then, when it has been years ago since it was released.......well it's such a gem of a drama, although I may not remember every single detail to the depth but I remember their every struggle, every emotions, their friendship and their passion for ping pong, that even after so many years I could end it feeling those same emotions. Not just the two main leads, but their friends and mentors around them, everyone struggled and contributed towards the beauty of this story. It is a story that stayed in my heart for so long and deserves more that it did. May every cdrama watcher find this at least once in their life!
BJT with his another amazingly chosen script....worth the watch for all cdrama viewers for sure! It wasn't as great and extraordinary as BJT's Reset but this is still worthy in going down the list of amazing dramas And as always, BJT's raw acting!! That's who you call an ACTOR in this era where everyone mostly get famous over their looks. People sleep on him until it's a romance drama but y'all really need to watch his non-romance works......pure bliss!!
Bro just needs to go mainstream after doing such amazing acting in all those challenging and unique roles. He can play both emotional and playful characters so well. He has that Pure Youth vibe about him
we will have to endure bad subs again unless it will be pick up by other platforms
Even if it gets picked it's not gonna be 100% flawless. And they still don't translate phone message conversations......I just wish atp mangotv themselves make improvement in that area. It's been years already since we've been struggling

He has that Pure Youth vibe about him
