Good start but halfway through a bunch of new characters were introduced out of nowhere and instead of the plot progressing it felt like it was going around in circles. Based on the first half alone I would have given this a good rating but as a whole this was just an ok drama.
The script and acting are below average even for a short drama. The actor playing the ML is really awkward, some of the supporting cast did a better job than him. Hopefully he will get better with time. The ending was predictable and not worth mentioning.
I don’t get it on MDL the last special episode has been given 8.6 rating whereas the whole drama is rated only…
The special episode was short and sweet with some bitterness while the drama as a whole had slower moments, was too business focused and had way too many extra couples.
As much as I love the cast and think they did a great job, I personally tend to skip some scenes when there are a lot of people competing for screen time, which in turn affects my overall enjoyment of a drama. I prefer dramas with one main couple and a second couple, max 3 couples in total. When too much is going on I feel like nothing is going on. ^^'
But the person who replied first also has a point, lately a lot of people create accounts on MDL just to hate on some actors and lower the rating of the dramas they star in. Guess they have too much free time on their hands.
They were smart to keep this short since there was not much to the plot but I could have done without some of the clichés, specially when there was barely any time to develop them.
Overall it is a nice watch for when you want some fluffy romance without much angst or having to sit through 24-and up episodes.
True, but the longer a drama gets the higher the probability of us losing interest at some point. Keeping a drama at 24 episodes is usually a safer bet.
I waited for the second season so I could binge-watch and this was a rollercoaster of a drama. There were parts, mostly in the beginning, that were not my cup of tea and that almost made me drop the drama, and the there were parts I found really entertaining. The acting was great as expected with the casting of so many amazing actors.
The ending, for me, was disappointing. It was not the endind I wanted or believed in. Overall it was a great drama with highs and lows. I do not regret watching it.
Please tell me how bad is this drama? I have a goal to watch something with every actor involved in Eternal Faith…
The first 21 episodes are pretty good if you like investigation and the amount of romance is just right but the last 3 episodes are all over the place, as if some intern was given the task of writing, directing and editing from episode 22 to 24. ^^'
I agree. The actors still did a good job with what they were given as a script and the directions and so on. But…
I did not read the novel but I definitely noticed how the ML character had less impact than he should have had. The SML was the focus of the story up until the last moment, even overshadowing the FL at times. Also I love strong smart independent FLs but the way the ML was almost like her sidekick/loyal follower did not sit well with me.
Started well and had everything to be a great drama but somewhere along the way it lost its’ purpose and essence. No real conflicts resolved, characters that acted out of character, a lackluster ending, just to name a few. Such a great cast, what a shame that the writers were not sure which direction they wanted the plot to go.
It’s fully sub on IQIYI international app, I’m loving so far
No problem. True, but it got a lot better. 5 years ago only Korean dramas were subbed often, many Chinese dramas went without subs for years. Now a lot of Chinese dramas get English subs the same day the episode airs. ^^

These are comments from 5 years ago. The app has improved a lot since then and I have also studied Mandarin.
You’re asking me to stop complaining but you are complaining about me complaining. At least check the date of the comments before complaining about someone else’s complaints. Back then most dramas on IQIYI either had no subs or really bad machine translated subs so it was normal for people to complain about it in the comment section.
They put together a great cast but the story and pace did not work for me. I watched it all but skipped a lot of things. Was honestly expecting more from this one, but it was not a bad drama, just not my cup of tea.
The main leads initial characterization was pretty interesting, they could have done something cool with the plot yet we got an average plot full of clichés. It was watchable but not something that made me feel like I could not wait to watch the next episode.
