My PTW list...is super long too. If I really don't want to forget about a drama, I put it on my "currently watching" list but that gets neglected often too haha. Applause for the grand success
another one for the books! i can say it's not the typical set up for a shoujo type of live action adaptation but it was interesting to see the conclusion of the story. tldr momoka wants her HS days to be shining and it's hard to do that when she's super insecure about her demon identity (in the form of horns on her head). eventually she learns to embrace her identity when she meets ren, a fellow classmate and also aspiring filmmaker. some elements to the movie felt kinda random imo, but gosh the confession scene made me tear up (gotta love a wholesome confession). her dad is so supportive of her too and i'm all for it
this is perfect for fans of dramas that are short/not too complicated with lots of fluffy romcom scenes and typical drama cliches (it may be cringey but i'm happy to watch it!). also caesar wu is sooo flirty in this drama. a total 180 from his character in "chang an youth"
this is the drama to watch if you want something that is light hearted and doesn't focus too heavily on palace politics. there is fluffy romance but also friendship in five strangers going through school life together.
The cast reunion in a romcom that we need but don't deserve
couldn't have said it better myself! i seriously couldn't believe my eyes when i saw the thumbnail of the youtube trailer. "the witch" but in an alternate universe
the first few episodes had me laughing out of my seat!! sangqi made a bet to get yuyanzhi to accept her pouch but he wouldn't no matter what even when she became a student at the imperial college. yeah it had a bunch of typical romcom cliches but the show actually made it fun to watch them unfold on the screen. and then slowly they fell in love with each other and my gosh the scenes were so cute to watch! it got a bit angsty and full of palace politics from 20-28 but then we got our happy ending
Final thoughts after finishing this drama...Skipped a whole bunch but was enjoyable overall. I also just realized…
Lol same. It was pretty good in the beginning but then the middle lulled a bit so I had to skip through some parts. I'm looking for my next drama to watch, what's NIF?
now THIS is what princess weiyoung should've been like! this was an awesome drama with cute moments between the OTP. i had watched peng xiao ran's previous work in "goodbye my princess" and glad that her character got a happy ending here.
i wish they would have showed more scenes of her attending police academy, it was used as her reason to leave the mansion and then never addressed again. the bullying was uncomfortable to watch no matter how much he "liked" her
