for those who want to watch romance, imo this is not the right show for you. there are plenty of romance shows airing at the moment that you can check out. what you’ll find here instead are stunning visuals, intense fight scenes, bromance, friendship, conspiracy, but NO ROMANCE (romance is not the focus of the show).
also, for those asking who the female lead is, there isn’t one. this is a male-centric drama, with most of the screen time dedicated to the male lead Luo Yunxi and the exploration of his character Tang Lici.
some shows are great and fun to watch even without a romance plot, and this is definitely one of them.
Just watched the trailer and read the synopsis 💔❤️🩹Why would KYJ would choose such a negative character…
the only twist is that the bad people will be punished in the end. and, why can’t KYJ choose such roles? What’s wrong with that? An actor should dare to try every kind of role in their career to show the full range of their skills. honestly, where’s the fun in playing the same type of character in every drama? Plus, aren’t there plenty of actors who play anti-heroes/villain and they're doing fine? I said this before and I’ll say it again; if you guys r not into violence, blood, graphic scenes, and all the toxic stuff that comes with an anti-hero plot, then just skip this one because this kind of show isn’t for everyone.
Is it fine to watch this without watching dashing youth?
YES. i haven’t watched Dashing Youth and The Blood of Youth, but i’m still enjoying this one! Even though these series are connected, you can easily watch each one as a standalone.
Is it just me who sometimes feels sorry for how SCH is treated by others? I know that other members also have…
you're not alone. every time i see how they treat SMY and him, i feel bad for him. I’m not sure what kind of prejudice they hold against him; they act as if he has committed some heinous crime and deserves no warmth, love, or care. Is it because of his ruthless and scheming nature? that still doesn’t make sense, because he has been kind and friendly enough with these people. but their response? hatred and coldness. except for SMY, no one cares about him. i don’t know what kind of person he will turn into in the future, but up until now, the way these people including Bai He Huai, treat him make no sense to me.
yes, i still feel bad for Situ Ling, even if he becomes a controlling person or some villain (not that I support that kind of behavior though). Like, man, all he ever wanted was that one woman, but fate, or so-called destiny, just wouldn’t let him have her. he truly loves her. Considering all the suffering he’s endured since childhood, he truly deserves a happy ending. Why not pair him with the fox girl instead? gosh, why do writers always have to turn these pitiful second male leads into villains at the last minute? why?
If you’re not into violence, blood, or anti-hero plots, please skip this one; this kind of drama isn’t for everyone. If you’re thinking of watching it because you’ve seen Kim Yoo Jung's previous romance shows like My Demon, Moonlight Drawn By Clouds, or 20th Century Girl, and expect something similar, it’s not. This time, she’s playing a completely different character, a sociopathic woman, who would go to great lengths to achieve her goals, even if it means doing evil things.
Since the moment that the emperor revealed what really happened to the late empress, the plot has become completely messed up and unrealistic. Even when their savior son’s life is hanging by a thread, they still have time to argue about him being their enemy’s son. Isn’t he their savior son, too? It’s ridiculous that the FL always has to step in to knock some sense into these people.
On top of that, even the most renowned doctors can’t save dying people, yet some random, unheard-of village people/physicians can bring someone who’s practically dead back to life? If this were a fantasy genre like xianxia, I wouldn’t mind, but here? That’s just too much. Plus, another amnesia in the plot? I was really enjoying this series up to ep 23, but now I'm not so very sure.
