Personally, the flow of the second half of episode 1 was way better than the beginning half! It was really worth it to stay through the first half of the episode. I have been anticipating this drama for a long time so I hope it goes well!
Pursuit of jade, the road to splendor and love between lines definitely deserve to be in this list!!
Lu yuxiao never misses with her roles ; she truly picks the best scripts.
Also personally, what made pursuit of jade so amazing is not only the actors but ZENG QING JIE DIRECTOR!! I've been a fan of him since Blossom, his cinematography is a work of art.
For the road to splendor, it's just a full on 10/10 drama. The plot was really amazing (as expected from the original novel author as Blossom!), the actors are so talented and devoted to their roles, and all the sceneries are REAL places, not greenscreen. The chemistry for both pursuit of jade and the road to splendor is peak.
(And I realized I mentioned Blossom twice in this comment haha, but it was directed by the same director as pursuit of jade and based on a novel written by the same author as the road to splendor so if anyone enjoyed these two dramas like me, I really recommend Blossom!)
Just finished and it was such a 10/10 drama. It is going straight into my favourites list. The ups and downs they went through, even the episodes where they showed a more realistic side of them being a bit distant when going through things as a couple (that some people disliked) is what I think makes this drama so amazing. As expected from the same original author as Blossom!! This drama was interesting and done well from the beginning to end. Peak characters, story, ending and cinematography. Just wish we got a bit more screen time for our zhao ling and ting yun as a couple in the last episode tho :)
My heart throbs for them omg... And I'm so irritated and mad for them as well, the entire Yu family pisses me off so so much. I feel genuine heartache for my zhao ling and ting yun
This is so freaking good, I can't stop thinking about them and cannot get enough of them. They really know how to keep us on our toes!! So amazing, as expected from the same original author as Blossom (yes I am a major Blossom glazer idc)
this is probably kind of off topic but her profile photo right now is such a cute and flattering picture!! I really hope no one changes it. I love her so much!!
I may be biased but i really like Kang-Hoon's visuals, he's so neat and organized and it suits him so much. He…
I do totally agree!! But maybe i guess i just really want to see kang hoon in a more upbeat role haha, seeing him in the high school flashback scene was really nice, i think i just wanna see him more like that!
Personally I feel like kang hoon's visuals don't really have that CEO energy, but he looks really good in a school uniform and has a more refreshing vibe! Cha woo min is also way too handsome to be second lead... But other than that, I will keep watching it for the female lead, love her so much!
Omg why did no one tell me the author of the original novel this was adapted from is the same author as the original novel for Blossom?! No wonder I've been loving this so much and kept getting reminded of my favs song mo and dou zhao vibes.
I'm more interested in the second drama from this universe. It looks a bit darker. You wrote that you've read…
I read this a while ago but yes, both of them are in their 30s, around the same age. However only iseop has never been in any relationships, jun seop (from a casual lie which is a bit darker for sure) has had previous relationships, if I remember correctly. Hope this helps!
No hate, but as someone who has read the manhwa, I just feel like jong suk doesn't really suit iseop (loved him in W though!) and I've been following choi yun ji since way before she debuted as a actress and I LOVEEE her so I'm really excited to see her as min kyung
