Is this really that bad? I know people are pissed because it strays so far from the source material. I've never read the novel and don't know anything about it, do you think then I could enjoy it? Or is it just plain bad?

This dude's great at playing fucked up characters. Low key had the hots for him in Rookie Agent Rouge ngl.

It shows up in episodes 1, 18, and 50 but only for really brief periods of time.

When We Were Young was SO GOOD. I think there are talks of a season 2 actually happening, fingers crossed it gets made!

The only reason I finished it was because of ZLY. The male lead unfortunately never gets any better and the story's mediocre at best. It wasn't awful but there was nothing special about it imo.

When YZ offers YJ the divorce papers he starts warming up to her pretty quickly and is way nicer to her. After her cousin comes to visit he initially is attracted to the cousin but quickly actually becomes jealous of her and YZ's relationship. From that point on I've really liked him as a character. He's not the usual stoic male lead, he's a more feminine whiny and sometimes bratty husband but that's part of his charm imo. Hope that helps:)

I want to say it was around episode 20 but I can't remember exactly. If you don't mind spoilerish stuff I can explain more below.

If anyone is debating on whether or not to watch this because of the awful male lead, don't worry he gets MUCH better as the show progresses. I hated him with a passion at first but now halfway through I love him. Give this show a chance:)

I took it as he died considering there was no explanation given for his sudden reappearance. I thought it was Buqi's imagination but I could be totally wrong. The writers really fucked us all over on that one.

Princess Agents not having a planned season 2 after that bullshit cliffhanger ending is defo in top ten anime betrayals of all time T.T

I mean, considering everybody died at the end except the female lead I'd say it was a "sad" ending. Though the way they did it I really wasn't sad at all tbh, just mad at the lack of effort that the writers put into their shit ending. It had so much potential too, the three main leads had fantastic chemistry. The actors did such a great job, I hope they get paired together again in the future, but with better material to work with:/

Here are some great historical c dramas with intelligent badass female leads that are fully subbed;
The Story of Ming Lan
Princess Agents
Legend of Fuyao
Oh My General
Bloody Romance
The Rise of Phoenixes

youtube and kissasian both have it fully subbed

Same, I stopped at ep 23 and I'm going to wait until it's done airing to pick it up again. It's way too heart wrenching a show to only have one a day, I'd rather suffer in bulk haha.

nope

Thank you for the great article! I had never heard of Oh My General before but the FL looks hella badass, I'm so excited to watch this!

Legend of Fuyao's FL is kinda like Buqi. Very cute but also smart and can actually fight which is nice.

32 raw, 24 subbed. There will be 52 in total.

Omg I just caught up with goodbye my princess and am starting Yunxi for the same reason lmao

Really great article! I have never watched a more perfect show in every aspect. Even incredible western shows like Game of Thrones and Mr Robot can't top Ming Lan. It doesn't have an over the top, end of the world scenario. It was a small-scale very human story set in the past, yet was gripping from beginning to end. 10/10 masterpiece.
