Easily my new obsession.

Nina is a spitting image of Joo Ji Hoon. So beautiful

IMO- When it comes to KDRAMAS, you have to give it a good 1-3 episode watch BEFORE making an opinion so it gets it's kinks and cringe moments worked out. Once the story lands and the characters have all been introduced (or, in this case, re-introduced), it can stretch and work its narrative magic. We'll see if that's the case here. I was a *massive* fan of S1, and S2 has been very cringe for me to watch so far. The only villain that sparks my interest is the main big bad. His other two goons are trying too hard to be "the edgy, alternative villains."

Is there ever a moment in the books when Tushan Jing's 9 tails come into play? Isn't he a fox demon? Is there ever an OP moment, or is he using his fox strength toward his intelligence? I'm just curious if there's more to him because his power seems to be a bit of a mystery. At least to me.

question for book readers-

nah, i love him. he's a soft bby and i want to squish him

Am I the only one experiencing serious synch issues? The dubbing and the mouths are SO off. I've tried watching it through Viki and Kisskh to see if the issue is the platform on which I'm watching it, and it's awful. Sometimes, their mouth matches the dub, but they're off-synch, and sometimes the words are completely different altogether from what they're saying (and I'm not sure what could be censored at that moment).

So excited for this. He has a charismatic, sexy intensity when he plays serious roles.

lmao amen

I'm wondering if it's how the character is written or purely Hou Minghao that led to the wishy-washy acting performance. I've seen him in other dramas, and he can be fantastic. He's also not short on praise from cnets for his acting. I could see your criticisms (the weird constipated face he kept wearing was strange, indeed). That being said, his styling in this drama is almost offensively beautiful. I bless the person who chose that wig for him. G-o-r-g-e-o-u-s.

Yeah, that was the vibe I had. That it would be more serious. Thanks for the feedback!

This was one of my most anticipated dramas, but the first episode grated me. The giant fight move titles, the song the father sang before he passed (which I understood was supposed to be a memorable, sad moment, but it fell very flat and gave me 2nd hand embarrassment), and even the CGI for the fights, which feels like I'm watching Disney on Ice, not a fight scene. It felt like it tried to be stylistically like The Blood of Youth but lacked the right artists. I adore Xu Kai, and I'm still really excited about the storyline, but can anyone please tell me if this...Power Ranger- esque style calms down, and it gets a bit more serious? I have so many other dramas in my queue, so I'm just..not sure I want to invest the time if this is what I'm getting.

that's fair! not everyone will like him. I can see what you're saying though (the stiffness). I just think, at least for him, the stiffness kind of works

What Kudo said! But also, his role in Shoot My Heart was so very different from anything I've seen in him and it was great. He plays an energetic, frenetic, gremlin type personality that causes a lot of trouble but connects with another patient (Yeo Jin Goo) and they bond over their experience together

Oh, aggressive sarcasm! Good for you, bud.

I hadn't got that far. Appreciate the explanation!

Whump lovers like me read comments like this and get extra excited to watch, lmao. Sad pretty boys is a whole snack

Yup! Same eye shape, nose, and mouth.

I 100% see it. It's the first thing I thought of, actually.

Do In Beom was briefly in S2. Yun Seo Jeong and Kang Dong Joo were both mentioned several times throughout S2. Dong Joo was in the military, and Seo Jeong was stateside doing an exchange program. They mentioned they were "coming back next year" and we're only 4 episodes in, so *hopefully*, they'll expand on that or give us cameos.
