I love Seo Bum June as an actor, but as for his character? There's no redemption in how he treated Yoo Me Ri, lol, especially considering his family was trash until the end.
If the writer wanted to give him that ending, then they should have shown him as someone who was swayed by his immature personality. Not the bold affair. It's ridiculous with that ending lol. Meanwhile, Baek Sang Hyeon got served for a year??? Is this a reference to how broken their justice system is in real life? 😂
Overall, the first episodes are on fire. I liked them, got hooked tbh, but not the second half. It drags, and suddenly it feels like it became a makjang mini-series lol. In the end, the murder stuff is nonsense. I just wish they focused more on the second couple rather than dragging out too much drama.
I mean I get the ex having a major role in this series given the whole “used his name thing” but man, he can…
The series was wasted because of the murder plot. The writer might have thought they were making a makjang series with 50-100 episodes, not realizing it's only 12 episodes, lol. I wish they focused more on the two couples and their office romance.
Honestly, this is too cliché — but for some reason, I liked it. Except for the part involving murder. The first half is fun because I can't hate the ex-boyfriend; he's hilarious, and I find his moments really funny. Now, with the last episode, he made his dumbest move, and I can't wait to see what happens next.
Many might dislike this series, but I had fun watching it. It's a shame that it wasn't a masterpiece. The casting did their job in carrying their roles, but not the writing. I really love the ML couples and just wish they had added the second couple and focused more on them instead of having some makjang moments.
Really hesitant to watch this because of the "too much hate" review, but I'm glad I gave it a try.
This could've been a drama of the year, "If" the two female leads were strong characters. This is mostly the problem with K-dramas these days—it's fiction, but the writer can't keep it from making it feel like a real-life story. I just wish this was like Vincenzo, where the revenge is actually carried out by the main lead rather than being focused on drama when this isn't even a makjang series.
Overall, it's just a 12-episode series, so ignore the slow parts, and it's still an average 8/10 for me.
I doubt they'll make a Blood River season 2, but this show is chronologically the second story in the trilogy…
Ohh!! That's why!!! I saw the Dashing Youth back then but I decided to skip! didn't know they shared the same universe?!! Thank you! I might give them a try hehe!
That Prince Yong? Isn't that his son? I'm unsure because there are princes of places on their titles, but the Emperor only has the Prince of Langya shown as his younger brother, while Prince Yong is mad at the Emperor because his mother died.
I'd say this is my kind of series! Love the battle scenes. It's like they're summoning their powers with a spell!
Will there be a season 2? I doubt that idiot Emperor will just let his son die like that. Especially since it feels like someone else is plotting something, and that night crow lady is still alive!
Ok maybe I’ll give this drama another chance because I watched ep 1-2 and I got bored, it didn’t hook me from…
It's either because it's not for you or because you're not in the mood to watch any series so give it a chance!
I binge-watch the early episodes because I was hooked by how good they turn out to be. I'd say this is really well written, especially in the early episodes and so on.
The early episode is just about them replacing the old ruler of Blood River and moving on to their next journey as a new ruler, SCH, but the event turns out to be deep because those above them are always plotting evil.
