people who say ML and FL have no chemistry just say whatever at this point 😠and i just KNOW the ones who say…
Tbh in most dramas with bromance, the male leads do have much more chemistry than the main couple (like Warrior Baek Dong Soo). And there's a reason for that. But FoF is not one of those imo. At least not so far. The glances and dialogues ZYZ and WX exchange, specially their scenes in the initial episodes suggest nothing but affection.
And sorry to be blunt, but the male leads' chemistry feels a bit one-sided in comparison. It's been only ZYZ flirting and going out of his way to protect ZYC. And that's understandable. It's probably gonna change a lot later on.
I really wanted to like this because I loved The Blood of Youth unfortunately I got 5 episodes in and could no…
Exactly how I feel about this. And while I didn't expect Langya to be a protagonist for this (I did expect it to be mostly about BDJ), I didn't expect (or appreciate) them sidelining his character and the guardians so much.
From the character web chart it seems there’s a girl connected to him so maybe it’s why he’s like that?…
Yeah. Either he was internally wicked and something triggered it to the surface or he was a normal guy and something extremely traumatic happened to him. I used to think it had to do with ZYZ, but based on recent episodes and what you said, seems like it's rather related to the goddess and her token.
There was a very short character intro from the actor who played Li Lun. He explained in the intro that Li Lun…
*Not a spoiler. Just sensitive words.
Writers often know whether they want the audience to sympathize with their villain to some degree or hate him/her completely. If it's the former, then there are certain few lines the villain shouldn't cross. At least that's how it is for me. (Of course I don't mean causing chaos and grief. That's normal for a villain.) Things like Mindr*ping, SA and intentionally killing children are closer to what I had in mind.
Li Lun seemed to be one of those villains I usually end up sympathizing with later into the story, but this guy's constant use of THE most despicable method, aka completely taking away another's mind and free will, is increasingly disgusting.
Every artist's end goal is to have a distinct style people instantly recognize. Doesn't make them bad at their craft. Nor does the fact that there's always someone better. Most (as in 90% of the) directors seem to have no identity and stick to safe and repetitive tropes tried by others.
if you enjoy sfd you might enjoy the long ballad as well. it's a cdrama, and they kinda share the similar values…
Oh you're right 😄 She does look like him with that outfit while LSH himself looks so different here lol
Thanks a lot for putting in time and explaining. True, romance is usually not my thing. Although dramas not centering on romance are ok. Yeah. MDL tags and genres are sometimes inaccurate or missing. From your description sounds like both dramas have fallen victim to this. I'll definitely give myself a chance with them and let you know how it worked.

Oh TLB and My Dearest's had always given me good vibes. The only reason I didn't start them was they were just tagged romance (no action, suspense or mystery). Are they exciting? I usually don't watch romance unless it's either very unique or very fast paced. (P. S. Believe it or not, I haven’t read or watched Gone With the Wind yet 😅)
About the poster, yeah. Allow me to rant a bit (plz don't read if you're busy). I believe it's because of the color contrast and that it has one point of focus and the golden robe guides one's eyes to that, which is her. It's pleasing, yet mysterious, because her back is to us. One only notices the man's head later, which is a bit of a shock and adds to the mystery. The new poster's elements, however, are all over the place. Might be they were going for the golden ratio but the placements feel forced. Remove the pictures with rectangle frames and it's a decent poster.

Fully enjoying a drama again was a pleasant surprise.
(You don't need to have an actor in the family to be allowed to criticize a drama)
