HAHAHAH I watched this drama right after First Jasmine... There are resemblance that makes you feel connected…
It depends on you rlly. There are some parts that hold clues and twists but you can just go with the flow (like I did, tho you need to pay attention enough to absorb the story..) An exemption maybe is the first episode, you need extra focus on that because its the opening and major foundation of the story and you get little information about whats going on. I was tempted to go back on 1st ep a few times HAHAHHAHA
I also said its easy to watch because I managed to stay invested till the end without getting bored halfway (unlike some dramas that need heavy lifting just to finish)
Just finished! Last I've watched Joo Hyuk was in his '15-'17 kdrama era and I rlly feel like he's grown as an actor. I wondered if some of his vibe came from Vigilante (tho I've never watched that) HAHAHAHAHA The actors was rlly good and queen dowager was unrecognizable from her previous roles... salute to makeup artists, even the crown prince is unrecognizable. Waiting for S2!!
I've just searched... This was supposed to be Xu Kai's debut work filmed in 2016 but it still hasn't aired. Now it looks like his debut drama is Yangxi Palace (and for his 2nd work, he rlly is a good actor since that was his breakout role ππ)
It's not similar to Blossom actually. π More darker tone
I just watched the trailers and yeahhh ur right the vibe was totally different... From the synopsis I thought it was a simple journey of love and power, serving country and repelling enemies, etc but oh boy.. It's actually more intense in those clips. Girly is kinda unhinged here I think, the dangerous type
I've read some comments. I thought the synopsis was kinda similar to blossom so maybe I could treat this as sequel but... looks like this drama will lean more on the heavier side π
me toooo i always get bored with the court politics but this drama was a 11/10. Do you have any recommendations…
Haven't watched LOTFG. As per the storyline for me, prisoner of beauty is more straightforward, not much fight scenes because our girly there doesn't fight with weapons but with brains. Fated hearts are much more complicated with entangled relationships of diff. characters. Fight scenes and confrontation are there cuz they're both fighters. But if in romance department, I like POB more
Should I watch it. (not me watching First Jasmine and asking for it π )
HAHAHAH I watched this drama right after First Jasmine... There are resemblance that makes you feel connected from both stories but totally different character behavior. This drama is not focused on masterful revenge like A Li did in FJ, this is more on getting justice and building a clean nation. But for me it's good and easy to watch, you can give it a try. Took me 1 week to binge it tho, some parts may get draggy but it wrapped up nicely.
I went in with little expectations, didn't expect I'd feel so much for the spirit. It's a good watch, not focused on romance but you'd still root for the chaos. Everyone found their own paths and that's good. Just as others said, there wasn't a single kiss scene but it's not noticeable because it wasn't important to the plot. But still it works. I say give it a try π
Watching The First Jasmine right now. I found her kinda creepy for no reason when she talked but now I finally know why. Her performance in TDHR stuck with me and she's hella creepy there HAHAHAHHAHA I knew she was good when I watched her arc, she really left an impression
The build up was really strong. I kind of agree with other comments that it lost it's potential with some of its storytelling. But there are many interesting characters and I just watched this out of boredom. I expected a total letdown of an ending but honestly? It was not that bad in my opinion. Give it a try and see for yourself.
I like zombie and action genres and I was satisfied in that regard. Both the leads are also badass and good looking so yup, I'm sold HAHAHAHAHA Just a shame they don't have many interactions because romance is not really it's focus but for me, they could've had a great chemistry if done right. I also noticed they started calling each other by their given names out of the blue but yeah, who am I to disagree
How I went with no expectations and just swinging by to majorly rooting for Ji Ling... I thought Shiguang is the main lead but Ji Ling stole the show for me. I LOVE THE POWER FLEXING HAHAHAHAHAH
The GuangYan cp is heartwarming while the other is heartbreaking but you still end up rooting for all of their happy endings. Ngl I was very invested with Li Jie more than anything, he's my 2nd top pick character next to JL hehe
First took notice of him in the web series "Search", cuz he looks hot being a soldier lol But I'm impressed like WOW! I came across clips of "Birthcare Center" and I didn't notice the goofy and bright father there was the same cold ass captain in Search. He's also good. I find myself on edge on how he's gonna cross his team and tension on screen whenever he's being questioned HAHAHAHAHHAH
I'm kinda sad he went back to minor roles cuz looking at his filmography, he got some main roles and some were rated highly in mdl (by that, I mean 8 above rating).... I hope he gets main lead roles, like as in the main ones not just second male lead
Just saw your review in RMP and went here hoping to find a review from you as well, wasn't disappointed HAHAHAHAH I'll be looking forward to your review of sword and beloved
