There are good and bad wuxia dramas too, but it is quite an interesting and exciting genre :)

I understand. I knew this was not a direct "attack" on me, since I was not the only one who wrote lower rated review. I just think asking people to downvote reviews simply because you disagree with them is going too far. Downvote should be used if the review was not helpful, poorly written, not because it presented different opinion than yours.

Right when the AoS finished airing I actually downvoted quite a few low rated reviews, because they were completely not helpful, not presenting any ideas, and opinions of the person who wrote them - pure "I dislike it and that's it" (stuff like that should be kept in comment section alone, since it's not really a review). There is a massive issue with reviews on this website (be it new account writing to "manipulate" final rating (being it giving 10s or 1s), people writing reviews without even seeing one episode "because they are excited about the show" etc. Mass down votes just adds to the issue. Because then people don't look at the quality of the review itself, but just the rating the person gave.

Asking people to down vote reviews because you disagree with said reviews is childish. There is a difference between expressing your disappointment and (whenever intentional or not) trying to create a mob mentality in comment section.

And I see you also have reading comprehension issues. I started my comment in that comment section with saying I am not judging the show, but the reaction of people after watching the show. Two completely different things. For me, checking out people's reactions is as much of an entertainment as watching the show. I even went through the reviews of AoS and check people's completed dramas to see if the number of wuxia dramas they have seen had anything to do with how much they liked/disliked the show.

But even IF I ever commented I hate a show under a show I did not watch (which never happened), it would be still less harmful than asking other users to mass downvote reviews. Personally I don't care. I survived the flood of criticism after my TharnType review, I can survive anything, my review as far as I know can be at the bottom.

BUT there are a lot of either younger or more sensitive users, to whom knowing their review got a lot of downvotes would be extremely sad, disappointing etc. There are a lot of impressionable kids on this website.

I see someone has issues with understanding different views, perspectives and opinions 🙃

Not gonna argue about the show, but your behavior is quite childish.

It is what it is. Many people loved it and I'm happy for them. It's better to love a drama than to hate it, or be disappointed.

Hopefully this show will open the door for many users to check out Chinese wuxia dramas, since this is that... just Korean, mainstream commercialized version.

I'm not gonna act as if this is his best performance - far from it. But with how the character was written... I honestly don't think anyone could deliver a better job. It's a bit like ML in Hotel Del Luna - the ML was so... basic it was hard to make anything out of him, no matter the actor. He did the best he could with the given role.

It's was too much of a silly rom-com. Not enough balance in what they focused on story wise...

Glad you could relate to the review.
Well, not really glad, since I strongly believe it's better to enjoy a dramas than not 🤣 But glad I was able to express the sentiment some other viewers felt.

You are more than welcomed to discuss differences with me.

Also, no review is unbiased since they are all based on personal preferences 😉

also have to consider the hard work the staff and the singers have put in for this drama to come together < this I strongly disagree about. This is their job they get paid for, and we are customers that pay for the goods they make (aka dramas). If we don't like the product, we are free to rate it however we want. The same way if I go to a restaurant and get bad food, I won't be like" oh but I'm sure the cook did his best and worked hard.

BUT if someone decides to write a review, they better actually write a review and not just 2 lines about "this drama sucks" without any proper reason.
I actually downvote good reviews too if they just go "this is the best drama" and then either copy random symbols or the same line of text over and over again, because I care for the quality of the reviews on this website.

I might not have enjoyed this show as much as others, but damn I'm going to downvote bullshit low rated reviews that don't really explain their opinions 🤣

now I'm just waiting for all the downvotes hahahaha

I can't give it a brownie points just because I had fun thanks to other people who watched it and made funny comments as they rant hahaha

weird combination of many different tropes & genres < and they decided to use all the most cliché tropes of these genres 🤡
We have more or less the same thoughts about it. Same reviews just worded differently 🤣🤣

If they make the Crown Prince the bad guy (and not him just pretending to trust Jin Mu for whatever elaborate reason) then this show will officially have the worst character writing ever 🤣

CP from the start was never truly scared of Jang Uk's abilities. More like curious? Some rivalry going on, but it was never shown as a truly insecurity that would influence him on any large scale. Pity acts and bets? Sure. Anything that could lead to someone's death or influence the whole kingdom? Nope. Every time there was a serious situation, he has put aside his personal feelings.

Also, the fuck would be trust anything Jin Mu says. It makes no logical sense. He would trust a dude that took part if his mother being more or less tortured for years and kept in prison? Please explain to me how. He knows Jin Mu and the "Queen" were in on this together. It makes no sense he would just team up with Jin Mu.

I hope this is just massive misdirect, and he is acting as if he is trusting Jin Mu to then fuck him up later.

This show honestly proves that short BLs can be good, and the whole "it's a short BL, it's hard to tell everything in the story an present it well" as an excuse for messy plot lines other BLs have is useless.

watched last 4 episodes today hahaha
have to say, last 4 episodes were hella ride 🤣🤣

As always delivering a great review :)

I did the best - I did not even read the synopsis before watching 🤣🤣
"In every lie there is a wish waiting to come true". < this is my fav quote from the show! Love it so much I used it as a title for my review hahaha

They started to address Shin Dae Ryuk's case a little bit more in episode 9, and I hope they will dive deep into it, coz as you said, this is not some emo teen boy who overreacts a little bit.

But yeah, the show had great messages, great moments, but it feels like it's all put together with a cheap ducting tape that barely keeps it together.
