I think this started out around a 9-10/10 for me but then it kept going down unfortunately. I ended up giving it a 8.5/10 which is definitely a good rating imo but it could've been much higher if not for the fact that the last 7-8 episodes were kinda uninteresting (to me at least)
edit: this doesn't negate the fact that the general concept of this drama is SUPER interesting and the main character is probably one of my favorite FL's of all time!!
a little dump for my thoughts: (disclaimer: a twenty-something sounding like she's 70 for some reason lol)
I just finished ep12 and I might be dropping this, it seems like it's not my cup of tea.. plus I heard the adult plotline will only happen when there's a few eps left which means this is predominantly a teenage romance, and I personally think teenage romances don't easily impress adult viewers, the only time I've seen a really excellent take on teenage romance was with Our Generation (but surprisingly not a lot of people like that drama!)
I don't really have any actual criticism for this, except maybe the excessive use of cliche tropes?? I feel like this combines a bunch of tropes I read on wattpad when I was 13, which is not necessarily a bad thing, it just means it really IS aimed at a really young audience (plus there's nothing wrong with a few clichés, no matter what age the intended audience is)
if you're liking this drama so far, I hope you keep enjoying it, have fun guys
Chinese writers love this coughing up blood trope. In my forty decades on earth I have never seen blood coughing…
lmaaoo I was just thinking about that too while watching ep30 it's so silly but I don't think I mind it that much it kinda adds to the charm of cdramas 🤣
i do have but the novel is not used for the drama so it’s useless to read it
in your own personal opinion, how toxic did you think the ML was in the script? give a rating out of /10 🤣 I don't want any actual content spoilers but I am curious about this
I've only seen Bai Lu on kunning palace (probably my fav cdrama) before this, and despite loving that drama and her character, I don't think that there was enough room for her to show off her acting abilities. Because now I'm really impressed by her acting on this, she's doing amazing whoa and she's beautiful too
