ARGH! Not to sound prejudiced but here china going again to ruin a masterpiece just like they did in case of Mother…
Eh it's not Chinese specific, remakes in general tend to be shit. Korean remakes in particular tend to suck the life out of the original dramas. Their Someday or One Day and A Love So Beautiful remakes made my skin crawl.
Dude same. I'm so tired of that dumbass surprised face all of the FLs do in Jdramas
You're totally right. I'm sure I've missed out on a lot of good jdramas because the majority of the ones I've been exposed to are so anime-esque and it turned me off of them. One I did love though was Orange Days. Thank you for the recommendations! I'll definitely check them out.
I feel sorry for Gong Jun, I think he did his best in this one. And he was also trying to publicise it properly.
Please be for real. He's mediocre at best. He needs to work on his acting and isn't on the level of many of his costars, which is why I made those comments.
Imma start of by saying this is my opinion and to each there own when it comes to this drama. But holy sht I don’t…
It's cuz you're watching it in 2024 after having seen other xianxias. This was the first of its kind, the blueprint for almost all xianxias that have come after it.

People who want to box him into only boys love are deranged fangirls who need to get a grip. He's frankly, just not that good of an actor. He got very lucky to have good costars in WOH and that was his best role acting wise as well. HOWEVER, he was also good in Begin Again because his costar Zhou Yutong was so charismatic and made up for where he lacked. It's not that he only does well with men, that's a ridiculous statement made by girls with a weird BL obsession and don't want to see their geges with any women. He needs to pick better projects, work with people who bring out the best in him, and also seriously work on his own acting.
And me saying all of this is absolutely NOT blaming him for this drama being ass. The whole production was a mess and Yang Mi as his senior was worse than he was.
This will probably be an unpopular review but to each his/ her own. I’m still in the first few episodes but…
This isn't really an unpopular opinion lmao. Your opinion was the popular one when this drama first aired. Especially in China, everyone who isn't a crazy JJY stan echoed that sentiment.
When MDL users give a romantic xianxia a 7.5, you know the drama's bad😭. Really unfortunate. I had high hopes for this drama. It was one of my most anticipated and now I am extremely wary of the next installments of the franchise.
i love them both but it doesn't seem promising, dahyun has no acting experience and they're both way older than…
Whether or not they "pass" as high schoolers is honestly irrelevant. Movies have literally always cast people way older than high school age to play students. Hell, Dahyun is two years younger than Michelle Chen was in the original. Also, Kai Ko the ML in the original movie, had no acting experience before the movie.
