I gave this drama a 7 but looking back on it, I might lower it even more. I don't know I found it very boring, nothing really made me like the characters, though it's very bearble to watch. I do like the individual problems they have to face because they are quite realistic but it was still kind of boring near the middle to end. The second lead pairing was much more interesting than the main couple because they actually had problems they needed to solve, while with the main couple it felt like they had to create something to make it exciting though it was just annoying for me. This is one of the most overrated dramas in my personal opinion and I am kind of suprised that soooo many like this and that the rating is so high but well, not every drama is for everyone.
why won't you give him the real names instead of riddles???? I just don't understand the logic. the writer might think it's to make it more interesting but in real logical life this is just a dumb ass move. That said, this ep was surprisingly interesting. Since I've been only watching this for Jo Jung BAE since ep 8 or so, this got me a bit hooked on the story again because it is FINALLY moving somewhere. Really, we are at ep 20 and "look for the real wings" is the first real clue they got and they only sort of discovered two things, one being their past encounter and the other one being the neclace that magically connects all somehow.
OMG the hate! WHY??? This is a fascinating story, very cute and intriguing. The two male leads are just rocking…
Well, the story isn't coming around much. They literally have no real lead on the suspect, the only thing they figured out so far is that the con artist and the cop have some past together that they need to uncover. I have yet to watch ep 19 and 20 but I really do undestand how people find this boring and lose interest. I am personally interested in the crime story which is very rare for me personally, but I guess I just hope for it to get better. As you said, I really dislike the con artists personality and watching Jo Jung Suk (who is the only reason I am still watching) play his character 80% when he is shown onscreen makes it just too hard sometimes. I just need development in both the story and the characters but as far as now I haven't got any.
It's very hard for me to admit because I am very Jo Jung Suk-biased and I liked all of his last drama and movie picks and I wanna like this one too but he is really the only thing that carries this drama. I really, really, really dislike the second male lead. His character makes no sense. Instead of trying to get on the cops good side so they can successfully uncover the truth for him to SURVIVE, he plays games and falls in love with a women just because she is very pretty. I mean I have seen love stories more shallow than this but I mean if your life is literally on the line you gotta focus on that first. I know a lot of people hate Hyeri's character but I find her very cute. She is more an addition to the drama than anything else, I really don't understand how SHE is the reason a lot of people are turning away. Also, I hate how the plot only introduces the con artist as a character, whe barely know anything about our cop which most people seem to like better. I also know he is not gonna end up with the reporter, so please just cut his scence a bit and develope your other main character, thanks. The crime story is actually kind of interesting but as far as ep 18 nothing much has been discovered or developed. Really, I find the plot so irritating and dragging, kinda, but I am just going to finish this for my bae. I am always impressed when he changes between characters but at the same time it feels like he doesn't even play the main role anymore. It's just hard to watch when the good male lead plays the asshole lead most of the time. Nobody likes watching an asshole character as the protagonist especially not when his comic relief is just getting annoying.
I don't know why this receives so much dislike. I find it so funny, I really enjoy how cheesy it is, especially its CGI. I love literally the whole cast, it's the bomb. If you've watched Chinese dramas than this CGI is still one of the best and since it is based on Journey to the West, I think it's fairly alright. The plot seems all over the place for some people but I think it's starting great for the first 2 eps. We all now most dramas kick in the best in the 3rd and 4th ep.
I watched TMOPB a little over a month ago and I am in deep. I didn't think the nostalgia and love for the drama…
If you do find something, feel free to tell me. for me, there is no other chinese drama like this. I did enjoy other ones but they're not the same. I do recommend the following dramas, however none of these are historical dramas except for THE Eternal Love A love so beautiful Memory Lost Go Princess Go When A Snail Falls in Love Boss&Me Love O2O Love Me If You Dare
the plot is really interesting and I like how calm and mysterious everything is. the leads chemistry is very nice and I don't think that anything looks cheap. so far it exceeded my expectations.
