Thank you : I also got seduced into the drama (freshly off of SOKP and ZLH charm) about 2 years ago. But by a few episodes I felt that 'thud thud' of falling into a slow groan of a pace and the plot being scattered to the winds ..
Ah, ok... well she was much better in that IMHO but she is actually a very good actress, this was just not her…
I am saving this much touted top Drama (NIF) for a long binge- been 2-3 years though 🤭
I think hearing that it doesn’t involve any “strong” female role and a solid “relationship” thread in it may be a reason.
I ploughed through fantastic period set drama (both slice of life and wuxia tinged) which had that as a strong element even though it wasn’t the main focus at times.
But currently running out of solid dramas with meaty explorations of the human condition under an expert production team - I’m eyeing it for a good “dinner” (hope it proves to be Michelin level)
I’ll pass
Thinking of trying out NIF soon
Let me know how it goes for you once you watch it
You should not give up 🤗
Have a taste at least - 2 eps 😜
Of LADY LIBERTY
Just the intro VO might grab you - and the striking OST
No wonder I too couldn’t get into UNTAMED beyond first taste.
I returned for re-look with huge gaps between each tasting - but nope.
Didn’t work.
It IS so highly praised though and I wonder if I should taste it in the middle like in the 15th or 20th episode- and see if it makes me curious
Yes it is
Sustainable only if it’s addictive 🙈🤭
And watched the Special also?

THANK GOD I dropped it back then
(ONE standout modern drama though totally swept me away - Lady Liberty)
Oh No .. Ha ha
Which one though (that was boring) I gave several reccos
Agree
I came away with the same reactions and feelings : and rated it 7.5 / 10
I “live rate” a drama as I watch 😜
Mine started with a 9 and steadily dropped until it was scraping 4-5
What the heck was it with the “cringe tropes”
The characters were “schematic” unlike the characters in some of the best period dramas

The style didn’t hit the spot even after the full Ep
Also try : Joy of Peaceful Serenade
And : Joy of Life (wuxia but I like to club it with these)
Talking about Under the Power
But the end was just so meh
I’ve finished up to 16 and am dreading the drip drip daily episode wait 😭😭
Yay
Let’s relish this together
