The manga is complete? I have only found 25 chapters translated and the story did not seem complete, unless you are talking about the raws. But even the raws, I checked mangaupdates which I use as reference when I want to know these things and it says that in Japan 12 volumes have come out but it is still ongoing.

Yeah, but I have actually watched more tragedy chinese dramas than open ending, so I was caught off guard at the time.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I don’t want to spoil it for you but let’s just say her character will see some evolution in the next episodes, maybe just not as strong as she was first presented to us, so yeah, in that sense, her character became kind of a disappointment.

All 28 episodes have been subbed. I just finished watching this.

... she legit only gets together with him at the middle of the last episode, then you have the rushed ending with a wedding and a kid. Like seriously, I love happy endings, but this one was just so rushed that I could not even enjoy it. We did not get to see more than just a few minutes of them as a couple, while I had to spend hours watching her dating 4 other guys who I knew from the beginning were never the endgame. The whole fake pregnancy thing was completely unnecessary. I would have rather had those last few episodes show the main leads as a couple. That was the least we deserved after having to put up with watching her with 4 other guys for 24 episodes or so.

So yeah, I enjoyed parts of it or I would not have finished it, but it really is far from being a great drama and I doubt I will ever re-watch it.

I mean, it’s not a bad drama BUT the story is so dumb and predictable. You can tell from episode 1 who she is going to end up with and how the drama is going to end, yet you have to go through the whole thing seeing her date 4 other guys and... (spoiler below)

Other than advertising the manga, I cannot see any other reason why someone would make an anime, movie or drama out of an incomplete story. That is something that annoys me about jdramas. There is a high chance you will spend several hours watching something that does not have a conclusion.

Although I mainly watch korean dramas and movies for the romance, as long as the story is well done, I like all kinds of movies. And I have always liked crime and law related dramas/movies. This seems like an interesting pick to watch with my family. Might give it a try, if and when I do, I will come back to share my thoughts on it.

Thank you! Glad someone else enjoyed this as much as me. ^^

How far in the story are you? I have finished it and found it interesting as a whole, but I have to admit that the beginning was probably the most interesting part of the story and made me believe things were going to go in a certain direction, but I was completely fooled. It was nothing like I expected, but that is not necessarily bad.

You will only understand this once you are past the half point of the drama. Let’s just say that this title is actually accurate and can be taken literally not like most translations of chinese drama titles. Lol

I have finished it, with subs. If you are watching it in the facebook page that is updating this, they shared the last 2 episodes in links to google drive videos.

Don’t worry. I felt exactly the same way most of the time. If you are like me, you will only fully understand the characters actions after finishing it. And without spoilers, you’re in for a lot of surprises and twists. Don’t give up tho, I did not and I do not regret watching this.

The way it started was probably the best part and kind of made my expectations very high. Then it became a little your average chinese drama and then I felt like I was not sure if I was liking it a lot or if it was just another drama. It left me quite confused. But now that I have finished it I think things are finally clear. Yes, its not perfect, yes, the way it began made us all believe that it would have a more interesting story than it actually had, BUT it did fool us all. People who seemed to be good and loyal were not so loyal, people who seemed to be the bad guys were actually not that bad, someone who I, until the end, was not quite sure if he/she was a bad person or a good person, turned out to make the most beautiful sacrifice any other character had made the entire series. When things seemed to be going down we were given hope, when things seemed to be going well something big happened that made us question the future of a lot of characters. In the end, you could try guessing, but you were never a 100% sure of what would happen. We did not know much more than the female lead about what was going on and just like her, only at the end were we able to see things clearly and understand every past action and situation. And for me that was a positive thing about this because most dramas are very predictable.

The main leads romance was definitely what you call true love, and it has been some time since I have seen a male lead so desperately in love with the female lead, and he is not the only one. And yeah, I could keep going but I would probably spoil it for you.

So is it worth it? In my opinion, yes. I watched it while it was airing so I was able to enjoy it more. This is 58 episodes long so if you binge-watch it you might not be able to see its worth. Try watching it while watching other dramas and take your time. This was not the best historical chinese drama I have watched, but it was far from being the worst. Worth watching at least once.

So...here I am to share my thoughts on this one. This drama had the best female lead ever. I really liked her personality and how she knew how to deal with people, including the male lead. I wish more female leads were like this one, especially in thai dramas. Their bickering romance was also pretty good.

Unfortunately, the female lead’s incredible personality and the main leads romance were only about 10% of the drama. The other 90% was a mixture of lots of violence, from fights with guns, grenades, kicks and punches to women being treated like objects, and the kind of object you dont even value bacause you think you can just buy another one if the current one breaks, supporting character’s stories that took over as much screen time, if not more, than the main leads, an exaggerated amount of singing and dancing (was this supposed to be a musical??), and the list goes on.

So yeah, I liked the female lead and the main leads romance but this is definitely not worth the time. Maybe watch it once for the reasons I just stated, but for sure I would not re-watch it nor recommend anyone to do it.

This is not the first time I watch a thai drama with this kind of plot, but I am still finding this one interesting. Hope it keeps up this pace until the end and does not become boring or too over the top.

Use a premium link generator and the downloads will be a lot faster. I used the following to download several episodes at the same time and each took around 10 mins to download, sometimes less. Search google for these: reevown, alldebrid and deepbrid. There are more if you search for it, but these are some of the best that you can use for free (with limitations of course) and without having to go through a bunch of ads to get the download link.

To be honest, I was expecting it to be better than this. The story is 9/10 times the female lead being the punching bag of everyone. I could not even enjoy the romance because everything else was frustrating and nothing new for someone who has watched hundreds of thai dramas.

There are not many thai dramas with a couple that respects each other like this. I am sure you know most thai dramas have either one or all of these: violence, disrespect towards woman, forced kisses, rape, lack of trust and communication, and similar things.

I am sure I watched 1 or 2 more with a couple that trusts and respects each other, I just can’t remember any right now. If I do remember later, I will come back here and tell you the title.

Yeah, was expecting a lot more. It’s not their fault tho, they probably had no idea how badly written this was when they decided to sign up for this.
