No because I haven't watched a drama while it airs in so long but I was so excited for this I started it and it was incredible and then it felt like someone threw a cold bucket of water on me. I really hope they change it but that quote at the start about loving each other until you hate each other makes me think they might not...

I really really hope they find some other conflict because this has the potential to be amazing and I know people are gonna be so mad, a japanese drama from the 90's can get away with something like that, a kdrama now giving us cheating between the main leads, it's not gonna fly, I've been watching kdramas for years and I've never seen it happen in a show marketed as a romance between the main leads.

Well, I watched the first episode and loved it but I'm gonna wait until it ends to see if it follows the same storyline, because I can handle a lot of things in my romances, cheating is not one of them. Thank you for heads up.

Wait, I didn't know about this, so the female lead in the original cheats on the ML with her best friend?

They look so cute and so mutually loving and soft. I hope 90% of the screentime is spent on them instead of secondary CPs no one cares about.

You're not wrong, I don't know how accurate it was but the number was 16 on this website for a long time. We're getting a lot of 12 ep shows nowadays so maybe the production cut it down.

I'm glad this was saved by amazon prime and is finally coming out, gives me hope that at least some of the 80 plus dramas in the vault might actually see the light of day.

Yeah, I hope we get at least a couple of episodes where she's just as in love with him as he is with her.

He does nothing for me but if people want to thirst after a villain because he's hot, let them? He's not real and it's harmless, some of y'all really need to start exercising some "idk about you but existing in the real world gives me and my loved ones immunity from the actions of fictional villains. hope you manage to get your family out of star wars" energy.

That's because MJTY is 24 eps so no matter how long the episodes are they won't surpass 40 x 45 min so that's not an issue. Hopefully WOL gets longer episodes but I'm not holding my breath as it's about to air we'll see how it goes.

I think it's because MDL changed its rules a while ago where popularity plays a role in a drama's rating, seeing as this show is rated by less than 200 people, that brought it down if you click on the little blue icon after "192 users" and go down you can see the ratings by age group and on average that puts it at an 8.4 at least.

This writer loves her time loops, she did feel good to die which was really fun, hopefully we get the same level of writing here.

I have such respect for this writer because that mystery was so tightly plotted, everything made sense while also being suspenseful and exciting. Way too often lately we get mystery dramas (chinese/korean) with a lot of bells and whistles to distract us from the fact that the writing is a mess, with characters everyone keeps telling you are smart but are actually deeply stupid and enough plot holes for a Swiss cheese wheel. In a genre where the story lives and dies by how well written the plot is but also needs its characters to have believable motivations and act accordingly, it's a very hard thing to do.

I loved this drama but I have the same complaints regarding some of the details, I don't understand why the writers chose to have sangeng never find out about his father as well as having him side with the monster that is lu zhi knowing what he did and knowing his master had it coming for his role in the events 20 yrs ago, not that negates him from wanting revenge or justice but him choosing to use the same methods wei was using and perhaps even worse because he ended up causing so many innocent deaths. I also see some people condemning wei for the path he took and I ask what else was he supposed to do? I know you said he had zhong's writings but what would those prove coming from the son of a dead prostitute? Did they even have something they could compare it to, while lu zhi had evidence and witnesses that framed lujixin. Even if he pretended he was lu yubuo what proof did he have that he was? All he would've done was gotten himself killed.

Not San Geng joining hands with the people who caused his father's death against the only person trying to get a measure of justice or revenge against them and all to avenge the man who murdered his father... He doesn't know but oh the irony and utter hypocrisy of him saying " can you get justice for my master when the killer is a high official" coming from his mouth as if he isn't doing the exact same thing as magistrate wei, taking matters into his own hands and siding with someone he knows is a mass murderer for his own revenge and in doing so caused the death of nine people. It's been years since i've disliked a lead character so much.

I wouldn't say Lu buyou was led astray because what exactly was he supposed to do? He was declared dead with no evidence against the people who murdered his entire family including his little sister and dozens of other innocent servants and they had become rich and powerful, they were all evil and deserved so much worse...

This drama was supposed to be 54 eps and it shows, we're getting the speedrun version of character arcs that should've taken dozens of episodes. We get so few non fantasy historical dramas as it is. Do the ones who make it through censorship hell have to be butchered so utterly in terms of content AND number of episodes, I really miss the days of yanxi palace and ming lan.

Let's hope that we get the bts for that scene because it is never passing censorship, especially since this is airing on tv and not just an online platform...

I need this to happen even though it seems unlikely after no news for such a long time. This writer and this director? Absolute gold, they adapted ming lan to absolute perfection and I need them to do 10 other dramas together.

This drama rewired my brain and I haven't been the same ever since. The level of devotion the FL displayed here was so incredible, so powerful, while also being kind, smart and never compromising her beliefs, other female leads wish they had half her dedication, we get so many devoted MLs but rarely do their counterparts return it in the same levels and it is so gratifying to see, this; Queen in hyun's man and LBFAD are the only 3 dramas where I wholeheartedly believed two people loved each other so equally and utterly they would move heaven and earth for each other. I just wish we got to see more female leads like this, I think they believe since they cater to a female audience we want to see men doing everything for the women but that's not how you tell a love story, it should be both, it should always be both.
