One of the best kdramas, and not just in the historical genre but overall. The acting is good esp. the royal secretary and ml in his dual role. They carried this drama all the way. As for the fl, her character could've been written better. 16eps is enough, it didn't drag and the pacing was right. Overall, I enjoyed this from beginning to end.
It was interesting at first, esp. the focus on the selection process since its not usually shown in most historical kdramas. But in the 2nd half, it felt like something was lacking in the story. Finished it for the ml and fl's chemistry, but even the ending felt rushed.
The Queen annoyed me with her crying and blaming everything on Kang when she playing favorites in the first place. I liked the ending the most. It wasn't rushed, it was proper for everyone. Kang's was poetic. NG's was well deserved. RSG's was for the best. GT was able to travel, move on and come home. And esp. Hwi and JH, happy and finally doing something they both love after all the years.
Overall, JSW was the best part of this drama, and despite the cliches, I still enjoyed it.
is it a happy ending? and who does she end up w/ ?
This is late but in case you still wanna know, yes its a happy ending. It's not rushed but proper happy ending with everything settled. Jahyun ended up with Hwi. Her feelings didn't change nor waiver throughout the drama.
I'm one of the very few that is glad the ml and fl ended up together, because that was the whole point. It would be OOC of ml to have a change of heart after only a few weeks/months with 2fl compared to her years with fl. The ml and 2fl's relationship was obvious to be just friends and nothing else. The ml was clear on showing that.
This was my first drama of the 4 main casts and I enjoyed it.
Yes I almost dropped it because I didn't want to see them break. I totally shipped Oto and Tenma and really they…
Hana and Taishi happens to be good friends in real life too and this was a reunion project for them (shipped them in their previous drama). So I was also really rooting for them and hoped this'll be one of those rare dramas where the 2ml gets fl.
Yes! I'm excited for the drama overall (though trying to keep low for HuaLian because of the director) but I remembered in the novel that XL x SQX in action are "ridiculous and hilarious" plus seeing ZXW and CHS, I can't help but expect.
I usually prefer wuxia over xianxia but I was able to finish this one because of the main cp's chemistry. And the fl is so pretty both in her goddess and general forms. Not pretty in a cute way or pretty in a creepy way, but in a way that I don't get tired of her beauty. This is my first drama of her but there's this sense of warmth from her. Her facial features harmonize well. Overall, I enjoyed this.
I'm looking forward to this la. Most of the actors look more or less the same in character, but ZXW looks so pretty as XL. I'm setting my expectations low for HuaLian, but I have high hopes for XL x SQX shenanigans.
I tried this drama to see Shuyu as ml. It was interesting at the beginning but then started to feel the story is lacking. And depsite the many kisses, I couldn't get into the cp. Overall, its okay.
Only the Feng Chenyue (general) part was interesting. Other lifetimes were meh. In that part, the main cp had…
I'm cool with flashbacks, or if she couldn't have memories of past lives because of the mengpo soup, then even fragments or dreams would've been okay. Kinda like a deja vu feeling/situations that'll be completely pieced together at the end.

If they really wanted to show the 4 lifetimes, they've could've still presented the other 3 but focus majorly on 1. Because even before I can get into the love story, it was time for the next life. So there's a disconnect. Maybe that's why the 2nd cp is the one that got my interest.
I dropped the webtoon but I finished this drama. The ml is likable despite being cold. The type that knows what he wants/who he likes so he doesn't get swayed or entertain others. The best part of this drama is ISH as the perfect cast for fl. She embodied webtoon MR really well. From the awkwardness at the beginning to the progress at the end. She had a good character development. And despite the actors age gap, the chemistry was good. The osts are good as well. Lastly, I liked how the drama never showed fl's full pre ps face unlike in the webtoon.
I've already commented here before and already watching other dramas, but for the past days I've only been eating cold foods (surgery) so it reminded me of WenZhou. Other than ice cream, it's only been cold congee, cold mashed potatoes, etc, and its no fun at all. I know its just a drama, but I just wanna say if WenZhou is willing to live like that to have an eternity together, then that's ultimate TRUE LOVE.
The osts are the best part (yes including the bear song).
And my fave of all the FH versions.
The chemistry of the leads is great.

I enjoyed this long drama.
