I enjoyed it throughout. This is one of my favorite couples this year and WRJ is one of the best female leads. She grew so much, was likable, naive but not stupid, and you just wanted to root for her. Also, the kid emperor was enjoyable. There were some inconsistencies toward the end but not enough to ruin the end. I wished we got more backstory with WRJ, I'm curious about her semi superhuman strength. They never explained what happened to Han Ru Xue when he went missing too.

I agree about the parts with WRJ being weak all of a sudden. That was inconsistent. I think with LQC, he decided not to fight back. WRJ mentioned in ep 39 that he changed and he said he's more careful so that it doesn't make the situation worse, like getting killed and leaving her alone.

Finished. Overall, I enjoyed it with some mixed feelings here and there but that's sorta expected with most dramas. I thought He Tian Xing was much better than Situ Aoran. He Ming Li, in my opinion, was the most interesting character. I'm glad the drama spent some time showing more of her story but I actually wanted more from it. This is an unpopular opinion but I didn't think Qing Feng was a strong second male lead at all and maybe that is because he is just a fictional character in the book. I never rooted for him nor cared enough for him to get a happy ending. I think the revelation of his story came too late in the drama and by then, he was just a side character that liked both women that his best friend liked.

Yea I'm not really excited about the preview for ep. 20. According to the info here on mydramlist, there are 20 episodes.

The way the story unfolds is what I enjoyed the most about this drama. It was well done and I was hooked from the beginning to the end. It's a good ending... I have some mixed feelings about it but I mostly liked it.

Watched up to ep 19 and these are my thoughts. At first, I didn't think the book world was all that interesting then you remember that she's in the book and they're just playing out a mediocre romance novel that is full of tropes. Maybe that actually makes this drama more brilliant than a typical romcom... I don't know. To me, everything that was developing in the real world was more interesting. I enjoyed their interactions in the real world so much more. For a 20 ep drama, I actually want at least an extra episode. I'm a little worried about it ending soon and there seems to be more that I need to be explained.

I did try watching it but decided to drop it after 8 episodes. I wanted to drop it after 5 but decided to give it a chance. Still couldn't get into it or care for any of the characters to keep watching. The story quality is below average for a c-drama in my opinion.

One of the few dramas this year that was worth my time watching. I enjoyed it from the beginning to the end. Good storytelling that kept me engaged in each episode.

The main leads fighting and partnering with each other like they're a couple but I'm still trying to figure out if they're official or not. We need a kiss scene to solidify things.

Yea, skip this one. Love Is Sweet looks more interesting.

Dropped after 8 episodes. There is not enough development in the story after 8 episodes for me to stay invested in the show. You get thrust right into the story right away that if you didn't read the synopsis, you would have a hard time following. Some of the scenes feel forced or meaningless. There also isn't enough depth to any of the characters for me to care about them.

When do they go back to the real world? I've watched up to ep 12 and starting to lose interest in the book world.

ah same here. It took me a while to figure it out but it def made me think of Buzzer Beat.

The pacing of this drama is my biggest critique but overall it wasn't too bad. I enjoyed the characters and their friendship. Not a lot of romance and I think that is actually what makes this drama bearable.

I hope so. His interaction with his sister was really sweet.

Enjoyed the first episode. It's over the top but that's what I expected. I find her timidness to be humorous instead of frustrating. It's a good start so far.

I'm conflicted about how I feel about this drama. This was fun and somewhat dark at times but I was hoping for more. I think Maria could have been a better villain. She wasn't convincible enough for me. By the last few episodes, Akechi was just pitiful and I wished Ichigo was developed a bit more. Overall, it kept me interested until the end.

My thoughts after watching 4 episodes... Not sure where this drama will go but I think I like the progression so far. The first two episodes were just ok for me and some parts of the story could have been developed better such as Theeruth's dislike for Rosita. Things pick up in episode 3. It seems like each episode will put more focus on one of the suspects. This is a nice change compared to most mystery dramas that drag it out to the end for the big reveal... even if there is one in this drama, I appreciate some things getting wrapped up. Characters still do stupid stuff... not the most frustrating but it's still there.

I'll also add that the side characters got a little more annoying too and that's probably why this episode was hard to watch. If all her aggressive flirting only took up half the episode then I would have been more ok about it.

Episode 8 is kinda disappointing. You get 90 min of Muey acting like an annoying child.
