s1 was cringe with poorly written plot but this is just cringe with cringe. i get the downfall actually.
at this point, i am just watching to know if keif and jj actually end up together, for some kind of clourse i think. i couldn't care less about anything else in this show.
i like how most modern cdramas focus on a particular industry/field. i don't know (and actually don't care) if it's just bluff to show off the country progress or things in china actually run like this but it's still positive influence on the viewers. they are atleast selling worthwhile visions and ambitions on the younger generation. i can take one look at the currently releasing media from my own country and say that we are nowhere near.
as for the drama itself, i thought it was gonna be a 10/10 but sadly that's not happening. it's grandson of big name x daughter of big name, i love myself some rich x rich power balance romance since it doesn't happen that often.
it started off slow but i didn't really mind that. later i was more puzzled on why he was treating her like that but since it was still a mystery, it kept me entertained. then came the chasing arc, which was very straightforward. he genuinely asked her about it so it was very sweet. there's nothing not to love about this story. it's a smooth sailing romance with no major setbacks but the problem is they dragged the chasing arc too long. with nothing much going on in between, it would have been better if they had started the relationship a bit quicker. i was starting to lose interest but after the relationship started i thought things got better and I was much more invested. also, thank you very much for a whole episode of their married life. i really loved that.
but why was zhang xu even present till the end? i would get it if the FL still had some lingering feelings or if he showed up to make trouble for our main cp or if he had some story of his own but none of that was happening. i really don't get why they decided not to solve their misunderstanding during the earlier episodes. it would have made much more sense. he constantly appeared on the screen but had no attachment to the story. i am pretty sure no one cares about his self regret arc so why?
anyways, i was going to give it a 7 but since the later eps picked up the pace and left a good impression by the end I am gonna give it a 8/10.
God that’s why I am scared to start this , I made a mistake watching speed and love First , even love between…
for this one, i actually thought things got so better and interesting after they started their relationship. give it a try if you are up for 24 eps of chasing arc. reward is sweet though.
is speed and love also slow? i am was planning to watch it next.
it took 24 eps guys. if slowburn yearning/chasing isn't for you then maybe stay away. i didn't know it would get this frustrating even without any major plotlines and second lead intrusions.
what kind of stupid misunderstanding is this lol 😠never seen something like this between FL and supposed SML that's new. it's not the male lead so it doesn't bother me as much but if my girlie is gonna use the same communication skills with male lead i might go find a building and jump off it.
and don't tell me this zhang xu will still be hoping for a chance because of what she said. actually don't tell me i am gonna stay up all night to watch it all and find it out myself. my cousin who recommended this said that zhang xu doesn't show up again until towards the end so i am guessing it won't be that frustrating.
i feel like i am going to enjoy this it's pretty good.
guys there is an after credit scene btw in case you missed it. i was just thinking they should have ended it at mystery club setting instead of the skyscraper, glad i stayed till the end of credits and caught that. came in full circle, such an amazing ending.
totally get the hype but i am not sure i liked it as much as others did. i was not too into it but i guess it wasn't that bad. it was especially funny during the early episodes, romance was great, they had chemistry, so many cute moments and kisses, hoping they will pick up a project again, surface level revenge plot that i didn't really pay attention to, SML not as annoying, things played out smoothly so i wasn't too frustrated while watching, 8/10.
guys i am dropping it. i can't take anymore of this nonsense. i usually chase after tropes so idek if i am too shallow for this or if it's just bad but in the 28 eps i watched i can't tell you about a single scene that sticked with me.
usually cdramas are long. they explore a lot of aspects so most of the time atleast one thing will be well done even if everything else turn out be straight bs but this one doesn't have that one interesting aspect either.
it's a female centric drama revolving around tea business but was there really any business in there? with such women in the household maybe it makes sense that business is flourishing but i really can't believe it survived this long. except from a few lines in their little tea room and few scenes at the tea plantation, what about this was tea business? i really can't see it.
romance... if you are coming for it turn back now. it doesn't follow the traditional play of events and througout the drama, romance stays as a background plot with no development whatsoever. it's just there when it's time for ML to appear on screen to support the FL. other than that, there's no intimacy, no confession of feelings, no real development, they just grow a little closer during the second half of the series and that's about it for their romance.
characters... there isn't a single likeable character in this show. all of them had too many flaws, even the FL and maybe that's realistic but sometimes i really couldn't understand the intentions behind their actions. it's all a blur. only ML was kinda fun to watch during the first half but that can only go so long to keep me interested and he really had nothing much going on after that. ironic isn't? liking an ML in a female centric drama, feels a bit shameful to admit this as a woman.
i wasn't even expecting sisterhood when i started this. i was just expecting a family of dominanting women leading the business world with their tea and working together to make it flourish or something along those lines but it isn't that at all. that grandmother is a petty person, i am sorry for wishing death on old people but this old bitch deserves to die. no wonder her granddaughters turned out like this. it is indeed her fault and with her around, it was inevitable. the situation in the family is so bad right from the start that i really can't believe they are talking about centuries of business. how did they not go bankrupt already because of family fueds.
during the first few eps the men were fighting, making schemes and plots and then a few men stayed back to make more trouble. the sisters were never in peace but suddenly got together around 25th ep. the mystery cases arisied one after the other and then solved but the explanations to their solving was utter nonsense. now after all this that old bitch wants her to marry lan bitch why tf make 10 eps of competition then? and that lan is definitely upto something, i don't even have to watch to make this out. who tf wrote all this? the script is so fucking weak.
the only good thing about this drama was the cinematography and the background music choice for those scenes. it was a bit too aesthetic and pleasing to the eyes and can't be ignored easily.
AND the fan pr on x is misleading. reverse harem? don't play with me. none of this is reverse harem. the FL barely had any interest in the ML, let alone the other guys who i don't even know why they were even there in the first place.
5/10 for the 28 eps i watched, usually when i drop i always say i might pick it up later because at that moment i always feel like i would enjoy it at some other time but i would never enjoy this storyline at any time. bye.
why even write romance if they are going to ruin it all at crucial moments? like every single time. the romance isn't even the main plot and removing it wouldn't have made much difference but giving crumbs and then turning the fan on to scatter it all in one go is just so cruel to the viewers.
well it was funny at first. i thought all those people who came to propose were going to be annoying but they're just clueless fools and quite entertaining to watch. and our ML... this guy viciously schemes and makes all kinds of plots then goes to his lord husband with 🥺 eyes lol he is just so funny 😠BUT i am quickly losing interest. it's not boring but there isn't much to look forward to. i will see it through the end but it really should pick up in the next few eps.

you make good points. this could have gone pretty well what a waste of time and talent.
