There's actually nothing special in episode 30 without 21-29. I don't understand why people so obsess about episode…
I'm reading comments before watching but one think came to my mind when reading your comment. Why would everyone want to be hit by emptiness? Some watch for the fun, for the sweet feeling and for escaping stress and bleek daily life so if some emptiness can be avoided I often find myself going for the more happy option in dramas. It probably depends on whether you watch for the boring life you live or try to percieve it as art or something deeper.
I really wish this was a full scale drama. The leads are great, the story has more to show, especially if the side characters and the story of the leads getting together and the backstory of the mother and father were more developed. I would love to see the lieutenant and the real princess fall in love as well as more of the leads' flirting phase. But maybe it would be too long to make it twice the episode durration and twice the ep count... Anyways if this was a full length format I believe it would have higher ratings and both leads deserve it.
Watching this drama is so stressful. I am on the edge all the time because of the lies and schems she plots. But I like it but I am stressed with an activity I do to release stress so I I'm probably having a bit of Stockholm syndrom here.. hehe
Though I was skipping quite a bit in the later half the story was nice and well wrapped up, the couple was strong and beautiful and had quite believable problems which were solved quite soon. Nothing more to ask for of a comfy romance. 8.5*
I thought it started out strong. After the end of episode 2 I was on board (Im always invested in endearing old…
I feel you. It probably deserved 16 episodes to tell the whole plot while keeping its original pacing and giving space to the characters. They had too much plot for 12 eps.I really liked the plot of GW looking for SA shooting the ghosts in the forest but apart from being action-ish it deserved more of his feelings and how he met all those ghosts and what he had to do to save her. And it was just briefly brushed over. In a way it would even make for a whole separate drama just the part of searching and finding her. In the past I loved how K-dramas were short not having multiple seasons and stoppimg just when they should to tell a satisfying story, but now it got too short and sometimes too rushed.
I dont really like her new hairstyle i think the former style suited her better and she could be as badass as she wants to even in that hairstyle... In the Korean it was a change for the better but here it just makes her kinda too different and doesn't suit her that well imo.
Love how the portrait really looked like her and not like in many dramas where the painting is nothing like the person but somehow everyone recognizes him/her I'm always like "wut? that could be just anyone...' but here it's pretty obvious. Yan's painting skills are up there!
I don’t like the FL’s grandfather at all. He straight-up told her, “I wish you were a boy,” when he was…
They use these words in costume dramas a lot. It expresses the regret that as a girl that is so inteligent she cannot be the heir gof the familly because of societal rules even if the grandfather would love her to do big things she has to get married and be in the backyard of the mansion. It is not motivational because there is nothung she or him can do about it, however, I don't think it's rude either based on the time and space they are supposed to be at...
And now with 2nd prince and again scheming in the dark it just got even closer to the quality of JOL. ❤️
I hope not, but once or twice doesn't hurt and we get to see a similar interesting character again. 🤩 I'm waiting for the mess he's gonna make while holding my fingers for him to acually be kind and frendly in this drama.
If Wei Shao shot down Qiao ManMan with his bow and arrow We'd not be getting watch this 36 hrs of drama LoL Wise…
Hope this doesn't become a meme. Really holding my fingers for this drama to continue being as good as the first 5 eps. Because if the fl becomes annoying I can totally see the thin and thick books' meme with "if Shao shot the fl and saved us from future pain" XD But for now let's believe in the drama and enjoy!
The first episode is so good! Jumping straight to the second. ❤️ EDIT: on the 5th and still as good! Why did I start an ongoing drama again? New episodes please come quickly!!
No kiss scene but very sweet and with great chemistry nevertheless. It portrayed falling in love in high school really well. Although I must admit that a kiss at the end would be a cherry on top.
Down the comments people are saying how he resemble who and who and although I must admit I see a bit of Xiao Zhan and Kim Gyuvin in him, I cannot unsee his resemblence to actress Zhao Jinmai. If they played siblings, everyone would believe they are in real life! ☺️
TL,DR: Don't expect the main leads to be the main focus, insted enjoy each short story on its own.---On one hand it is interesting and fun, but on the other it is just not your normal c-drama format so I wasn't used to it to actually enjoy it as much as it would deserve. What I mean is that it is more of a "one episode per sitting" type of drama and "don't get too attached to the main leads" type of drama. The format kind of reminds me of American crime series like the Mentalist, those CSIs of different cities... Like it has a main character but each episode is centred aroud a case not the character, who has more of a whole-series' plot line. Thus this interesting but unnusual format (for c-dramas) actually held back my enjoyment not because the drama was bad, on the other hand I acually want to say it is really good, but it just didn't fullfil the expectations I had for watching a c-drama. Though the quality is really good and all of the short stories are really entertaining. So my recommendation is to prepare and watch with a different mindset than you usually have with asian dramas, maybe watch one episode a day and let each little story be served on a golden plate. 😉
