If there is a season 2 I agree it is a good ending. I am not really a fan of open endings. ^^'

I was enjoying it and thinking it was pretty good for a short drama but near the end, maybe the last 5-10 episodes or so, it just stopped making sense and became quite pointless. The ending was also meh. Ruined what could have been on of the best short dramas I have watched.

There is a movie AND a series. This page is for the movie. The page for the series is this one: https://mydramalist.com/796270-kimi-ga-tokubetsu

Yeah, I know that. Which is why I said she did not have the courage to tell him the truth. And then him saying that eveyone else wanted the GMD and she was the only one who had the opportunity to take it and didn't only made it worse for her. No way she could ask for the GMD after he said that.

So far it seems like the only reason they are going through all this is because she did not have the courage to tell him the truth. That without it she will die.

I have no doubt that even if he needed it himself he would have given it to her without a second thought, even if it meant breaking the promise he made to his master.

But then we would not have much to keep the drama going right, so they have to come up with ways to drag things.

Great first half or so. The plot was a bit different than usual, the main leads nailed their roles, there were so many things I liked.

But I felt that around half way it became too focused on the business part, so much so that by the last episode they had to rush to tie some loose ends and wrap up the drama, which made the ending a bit lackluster.

It was a good modern day drama with amazing acting and a plot that brought something new to the table. Zhao Lu Si definitely helped carrying this one tho. Without her I do not think I would have sticked until the end after it got so business focused.

Yeah, probably a mix of that one with the one from Moonlight Mystique. I watched Ashes of Love a while go and that was probably why I did not think of that one.

If I knew what was coming in ep 23, I would have waited for Monday to binge-watch. The teasers at the end of ep 22 left me so anxious. >.<

Definitely do when you have time. Not only Sa Ding Ding, but there is a male singer that also did a great job. The osts are pretty good, so is the plot, the acting, the love stories.

Yeah, same. I listen to it while driving all the time. It was her voice and singing style that I found familiar, probably not the song per say. Have you watched The Starry Love? It also has some amazings osts, including at least one by her. The drama itself is also pretty good. One of my favorite in the xianxia genre.

Not exactly that one because I listen to that one ALL THE TIME. Maybe it did not remind me of a specific song but more like the vibe.

Sa Ding Ding has a unique voice, love her songs from Monlight Mystique and The Starry Love. Pretty sure I have more songs but those 2 dramas had some amazing ones.

Yeah, I noticed it too. Sa Ding Ding sings a lot of c-drama osts, mostly xianxia but also other historical c-dramas. I will edit this comment if I figure out which song and drama it is that we are both reminded of.

You forgot to add bad cgi. What was that scene of them in the car right at the beginning of the 1st episode? That alone was enough for me to give up on this one.

This is entertaining with some good episodes and some boring ones.

My biggest issue is that the characters' backstory and plot development felt very superficial. I feel like they could have fleshed it out a bit more.

The ending was also kind of disappointing, unless they actually release a second season soon.

I started feeling something off early on. I liked the first few episodes but then found myself bored while watching some of the second plots. I wish they added more fight scenes showing the main leads working together and the FL being badass rather than wasting so much time on dumb palace politics and what is going on (not much) in the other kingdom.

I feel like this had so much potential but somehow it fell flat. I honestly just put it on hold. Want to wait for the last 10 episodes to push through it because I can tell I will be either annoyed or bored most of the time. T T

I think the writer has a grudge against the whole Feng family, mother, father and children. ^^'

I think it is a problem with the writing. I wanted to love this drama but I keep being thrown off by some of the things they add to the plot and some characters actions. I´m sure with better writing we would be feeling more chemistry between them.

In theory this drama shoud be my cup of tea. The way it starts, a general female lead that is both smart and strong, a good amount of romance...BUT I found myself skipping A LOT of scenes.

The main issue I had with it after watching about 10 episodes or so was how they were basically splitting screentime between the main couple and the prince and sister + the other side plots. I honestly have never cared much for those 2, mostly his sister. For me her character does nothing for the plot, she is just an annoying, selfish, dumb brat that is there to make other people's lives more difficult. I just skipped most of their scenes and scenes in the other kingdom, cause I could not care less.

Having watched the latest episode, ep 28, I now have more things to add to the list of things that bother me about this drama.

Some scenes are made to be too dramatic with the lighting, music and camera angle, mostly the kisses and such, it just feels a bit too much. I love romance but there is no need to be so extra about it. ^^'

And what is wrong with everyone? So many characters acting out of character and going against their own principles and people dying left and right. It almost feels like we are near the end of the drama, except there are still 10 episodes left. The writing for this drama feels a bit off. Like it could have been a great drama but it somehow feels good or average depending on the episode.

I know this is an unpopular opinion but I just felt like ranting a little while I wait for the last 10 episodes to push through them and finally reach the end of this. It has been a while since I last had a love-hate relationship with a drama.

Now that you mentioned it, no wonder I felt like I had seen him before but could not remember in which drama. It was not exactly him, his face just felt familiar. ^^'

I did not think of a specific drama when I made the comparison. The cgi here just reminded me of some of the older Chinese fantasy dramas, some I had to drop because of how bad the cgi was.
