A lot of potential to be a great drama. But, it felt a bit underwhelming at the end. Could have been better. But, still a very good watch. Looking forward to the next projects of Kim Jiwon and Kim Soohyun.
sorry I'm new here!! this 8.7 rating is about the story, acting or the just the visual of (roronoazoro)?
Ratings in MDL are mostly based on viewers' ratings. If viewers like it, it gets a high rating. You see so many dramas get 9 ratings or even more. It sometimes doesn’t make sense to have some overhyped dramas to get that high rating. But it is what it is. If fans like it, then be it.
Actually, One Piece live action got a very good rating from different critics. Rottentomato ratings also show that. Based on critic ratings and fan ratings, 8.7 is not actually high for the site like MDL. I would say, this live action series at least deserves that much.
I see they updated the titles of the next 4 episodes on Wikipedia. From the titles, we can somehow guess what would happen. At least the next 4 episodes will show the past events. Ep 10: The Monster Ep 11: Romanticist Ep 12: Partners Ep 13: Jang Ju-won
10/10 This drama is great. The perfect production, the perfect acting, with great romance, and a superpower theme that we all love but hardly any drama can pull that off properly. The drama has it all. How not to love this drama? It is the best. Episodes 8 and 9 were the best episodes so far. How can we wait another week for the next 2 episodes?
Completed watching this. Honestly, I had more expectations from this drama. Maybe because I read the novel a few months ago and anticipated this drama. I liked the novel more. There were some changes from the novel but the drama still followed the novel closely. The main thing I didn't like maybe was the FL character. The FL character doesn't feel the same. The character is too much soft and doesn't emit the same vibe as the novel's FL. I absolutely liked Wang Churan in Have a Crush on You. Mostly because she looked great and acted well. But here I didn't feel the same. Sometimes I felt her acting was missing and she could have done better.
Anyway, it is still a pretty good drama. I would rate it 8.5/10. That is a good rating overall.
Wang churan is back! Yang Yang is back! It's great to see them in the same drama. Good first 6 episodes. Seeing both Wang Churan and Yangyang was a pure delight. Overall the production and other things were done very well. Rescue scenes were done better than I ever expected.
It seems like there are some minor changes in this drama from the original novel. I read the novel a few months ago. I remember in the novel, FL was super cold at the beginning. Especially, I remember the stitching scene was without any anesthesia in the novel. They changed that a bit here. FL character is more sympathetic and more upright. I like this change. Also, as far as remember there was no Vin Zhang character in the novel. It is a nice thing they added him here, although for a short role.
I already have high expectations for this drama. The beginning was great. But, 40 episodes worries me, and it seems too long for this drama. After covering the novel story, they might need to add more plots to fill these 40 episodes.
Is the release schedule up yet? How many episodes are we getting tomorrow? From the airing dates in MDL, looks like 40 episodes will be released within only 18 days. Probably we will get 2 episodes everyday.
Judging by what I saw on douban , people who were rating it low basically didn't like the way the story flowed…
Yes, I agree. The drama is made of several short stories and 1 main story. At first look, the short stories/fables seem irrelevant to the main story. But, actually all those stories have a purpose and are important. For the viewers sometimes its not easy to follow what is happening. Low rating comes with that. If the viewers stay a little longer, they would like this drama for sure. 9 more episodes. So, former lover and any other person coming back and creating some tension is certainly a possibility. For me, I hope the new fables will be based on FL's hope and expectations about life and will have happy endings.
The ratings are criminally low here. It's sad to see this drama at below 8, where so many mediocre dramas easily get 8+ ratings. Hope the ratings go up, so more viewers get interested and give a chance to this drama.
Next episodes on Sunday. At this point, I'm really fed up with the release schedule. How can we wait 4 long days?
This drama is so good. I didn't expect myself to like it that much. It is different, sometimes a bit odd. But that is the charm of this drama. I want to watch more. But, feeling a bit sad looking at the release schedule. Only 1 episode tomorrow, and no episodes for the next 3 days. Come on, why don't they release 2 episodes everyday and finish it quickly? It is hard for us the viewers to wait that long.
I quite like IU, she is doing great, and I believe she needs some sort of recognition. But, Yoona and Suzy??? No way. Actingwise both are far far behind. And comparing them with the greats of Song Hye Kyo and Jun Ji Hyun??? No way!!!
Shin Hye Sun is back, and wow!! She looks stunning. And her acting was so good. It was a pure delight to see her in a drama again. But about the drama, I don't know, something is missing in this drama. Probably it is hard for us to believe that MC didn't fall in love in her 17 lives, and somehow a young girl suddenly fell in love with a young boy. The chemistry of them as both children and adults did not look so great. Also, in her previous 18 lives, she lived her lives both as male and female. It is hard for the viewers to determine where her emotions truly lie. I also hoped the MC would be more smarter as she spent 18 lifetimes and gathered a lot of knowledge. The first episode fell short of my expectations. I still liked it. The cinematography was great, and the acting was great. And more importantly, Shin Hye Sun looked stunning. But, hope the next episodes will get better.
The drama is great and the main couple is a joy to watch.
Janice Wu never fails to amaze us. Her short guest role in Meet Yourself was great and I wanted to see her in a drama with the main role. And in this drama, she delivered big time. She is just so fun to watch. Come to think of it, whatever drama she acts in as in the main role, support role, or guest role, her characters always make some deep impressions.
Seems like MDL site is also being ‘clean up’, I have been having trouble accessing it.I am quite satisfied…
Hey, same issue with MDL like you. I was thinking it was my problem only. Overall I liked the drama. The ending was good too. But expected a bit more, wanted to watch the main couple more in the ending. I was expecting them all to gather at Nandu in their gambling house and having a party together :D. If I was a screenwriter I would write like that.
I rather ship Liu Gong Chan and Yun Xiang. They are such good brotherly pair😬
Yes, they were actually the true couple. I wonder how far their relationship developed over the episodes. At first, they seemed like enemies to each other. But, over the time they developed this mutual understanding.
Yeah, last 4 episodes with Prince Fu was kinda predictable imo. There were always some twists in the story. But, when the master is introduced somehow the story fell flat.
Another drama ended. I expected more from the last few episodes. But, overall it was a very good drama and I enjoyed it a lot. Don't know what to watch now.
Any suggestions regarding the ongoing dramas or any upcoming dramas? Highly appreciate your suggestions.
So many deaths in the last few episodes. I wonder how many more deaths are waiting for us in the next 2 episodes. It was already heartbreaking to see Jin Biao, Bu Fan, and Kang Qiao dying, hope Mingyu, MengLan, or any other important characters don't die in the next episodes.
I actually didn't like the last 2 episodes. There were a lot of mysteries before. Many of those mysteries got resolved in the last episodes. But, somehow everything felt a bit anticlimactic. Just don't know why.
We have a cliffhanger at the end of episode 34. But at this point, we can all somehow guess that there is no cliffhanger in this. Yun Xiang already guessed that to happen. So, I think YaNan was just pretending over there to be drugged. Also, people surrounding Madame Kou, maybe she is not there or she had some plan of her own. Maybe Kou YuanJie is acting under YX all along, who knows? Let's hope for an exciting finish without any more deaths.
