Taiwanese, and I've seen it. Appearance, sure, but everything else, nah. If the fl there works for you then good, I still stand by what I said with PEB as that 1%.
And I said passable, not perfect, or else it wouldn't fit the narrative. Even some people thought this was bl, so clearly it works.

A crossdressing drama where the actress playing a man is actually passable as a man.
I've seen quite the amount of crossdressing dramas and 99% of the time it's just a female in male style, but PEB is that 1%. From the stance, voice, expressions, down to the mannerisms, she perfectly embodies the role. I have nothing but praise for her. She is doing really well portraying the prince and princess both physically and emotionally.

I'm really glad PEB accepted this challenging role. It's good to have her back in a historical drama. And though this is going to be a ride esp. with the webtoon's ending, I'm still looking forward to the next episodes.

He was likable in Rookie Historian. I was actually more interested in his story/cp more than the leads and rooted for him to be king till the end.
While here, he was so unlikable and very much deserved those punches from fl, but at the same time made me understood his character.
I think he did well in both roles.

I've only seen her in Produce, this is my first drama of her.
She definitely has the visual to be the crown princess. Character wise, I think she will be loyal to fl. She's already catching feelings and I think she will stay by fl's side even after her identity is revealed.
At least that's what I hope 3fl to be, good and loyal till the end. Looking forward to her acting and chemistry with fl.

That reveal at the end was so good. It definitely helped ml to confess because he was ready to give up his feelings and even congratulated fl with her marriage. A marriage that will break a lot of hearts. But I feel for 2ml the most, he is about to find out that his love and his friend have feelings for each other.

And for fl's sake I want to believe the king knows and is protecting her, but the fact that he was okay with killing his own daughter before makes me still suspicious of him and his motive. I also don't see him voluntarily abdicating, so in order for fl to sit on the throne he'll probably get killed by 3ml (if he really is that assassin) or by the left minister.

On a lighter note, Bokdong getting upset that fl only took 3ml as companion at the drinking party was cute. Then when fl assured him she'll take him next time, he turned to 3ml, but 3ml is just like 'whatever'. lol

Looking forward to the selection tonight. Seems like queen dowager is interested in 2fl, but the minister of war is probably a more important ally.

Watched 12 of 25 cps this season.
Taemin x Naeun, Wooyoung x Seyoung, Joonyoung x Yumi, Min x Jinyoung, Jonghyun x Yura, Jaerim x Soeun, Henry x Yewon, Jonghyun x Seungyeon, Sungjae x Joy, Siyang x Soyeon, Jota x Jinkyung and Myung x Hyesung.

My top 3 cps were Jonghyun x Yura, Jonghyun x Seungyeon and Jota x Jinkyung.
My top 3 houses were of Myung x Hyesung. Min x Jinyoung and Jonghyun x Seungyeon.

Overall, idols are definitely more used to cameras and variety. Some cps were a good match, had chemistry and entertaining but some were just too shy and reserved.
The last season of the good old days where idol fans get nervous everytime WGM announce they have a new cp. lol

Watched 3 of 7 cps this season.
Yonghwa and Seohyun were cute.
Jokwon and Gain were funny.
Nickhun and Victoria were sweet.

Overall, I mainly watched for Seohyun, but enjoyed the other two cps as well.

My fave of the global WGMs. Both brides were pretty and both grooms were funny.
I liked both couples but I prefer Key and Ari a bit more. I liked their pre-nup photos, their cruise wedding and Key's personal mission to make Ari eat food that she doesn't like to eat. It was also funny everytime Key has to reminds himself if Ari is legal/old enough. lol

Overall, it was really entertaining. And I liked what the grooms did for their brides during the endings.

K.

8/20 and I like how the ml is not an invincible fighter. He's already a scholar and physician (plus he's nice) so if he was as good as commander Yoon it would be too perfect.
As for fl, I agree with ml, she's really cool. At the same time she finally showed affection to those close to her, her own people. She didn't have to attend to court lady Kim's hair or stay by 3ml's side until he woke up, but she did. I know court lady Kim is loyal, I just hope 3ml isn't a bad guy. If he really is the assassin during the hunt and the one behind the killings, I really hope he's not saving fl for last.

The pace is just right. It would be strange for ml to instantly fall in love with fl just because she looked familiar. From the bickering to admiring, going through life and death together to catching feelings, then realizing and to possibly confirming (asking for a hug) is just the right progression.

My fave scene is definitely fl talking back to the king like 'I told you so' and used that to her advantage. It was so satisfying because I felt bad for fl before when she looked like a liar and an idiot because the guard and the maids all lied to save their own asses.

Lastly, I'm actually really looking forward to fl x 3fl and to their possible wedding.
And still waiting for that upbeat ost, hope they release it this week.

Bonnie and Clyde ~

Regardless of the interview, it was you who assumed "fluffy romance with no depth" despite not having read the manga. So idk why you're explaining all that to me.

I was gonna reply properly, but that tone...
"Fluffy romance with no depth"?.. Okay.

I was looking forward to this, but why the triangle when it didn't exist in the manga. Her character was never jealous and mean. So the drama was really serious with the "love rival" in her bio.

This was dark, but I kinda understand every side. The joseon commander, the jurchens and fl. But out of the three, I can't sympathize with fl the most. Involving the innocent for the faults of a few doesn't sit well with me. Other than what the abuser got, which was well deserved, the ending was rather underwhelming.

Overall, an okay side story. Or maybe my expectations were just high after Kingdom.

I've seen the latest reuters in different versions, angles and lengths, and no wonder people wanted a drama of them together just from that one scene alone (TLB).
I find them cute before, but this, the chemistry is undeniable despite it being night time. And its good to see them talking and laughing when it was taken at 2am.

Also, this page is always pleasant to visit. WL fans here are the nicest I've encountered.
Looking forward to fun interactions once this airs.

Finally, the non-existent climax in S1 is here.
Fast paced with good cinematography but the ending is unreasonable and out of character. Despite that, still a better season ender than S1.

I would've rated this higher if all 12 eps were one complete season. Overall, though not scary, still a good zombie thriller.

Sweet Home actually has more gore and psychological stuff imo. And just like Sweet Home, this has physical monsters/zombies but no paranormal/supernatural stuff. So if you're fine with Sweet Home, then you'll be okay with this.

A power struggle in a zombie epidemic.
It's a good thing I watched this after S2 was released, because that ending is frustrating.
I knew what I was getting into with a netflix/western style series but they could've ended it better while still teasing for the next season.

I would've rated this higher if not for that non-existent climax. Overall, though not scary, still a good zombie thriller.

Yes the 2fl is selfish. She is the typical pampered noble.
I also tend to avoid annoying 2fls but this drama is worth it. And for now (6/20) eps mainly focus on fl and establishing characters, the lovelines are barely starting so 2fl doesn't have much screentime yet (not that annoying so far). So no worries on giving the drama a try.
