It felt like a different person wrote the finale? GHR crying and saying "you should've killed me instead" seemed very out of character, and I can't imagine a less satisfying ending for all of the characters. Writers, if you really can't stand to let your characters find happiness in the end, at least give the viewers a satisfying reason to justify their suffering.
I'm going to do my best to scrub the last episode from my brain. Very disappointing.
Does anyone know which city this is set in / filmed in? It doesn't look like Beijing or Shanghai and they've mentioned visits to Hong Kong and Macau, so maybe Guangzhou?
It's tagged as a romance but the description says she gives up her love. I'm trying to decide whether or not to watch this, because I pretty much only watch romances. Can anyone tell me how much romance there is, and if this is a tragedy or not?
I'm sorry for being negative, but did Nao become more annoying or did my tolerance for her personality drop? I liked the first season but I could barely get through half of the first episode this time around before I had to drop it??
Mixed / bittersweet. I found it sad and frustrating, but there were parts that were sort of happy.
Glad you liked it. I haven't heard of that one before, but I checked the MDL page and someone said it's a bit similar to coffee prince? I've added it to my PTW list :)

I see you're watching LoveO2O. That's one of my favourites even though the FL is quite shy when it comes to romance because the leads are very trusting and supportive towards each other, which I found very satisfying.
I also see you have Healer and I Hear Your Voice in your to-watch list. I'd definitely recommend both.
One drama not on your list that's fairly short (under 20 hours) with some angst and a satisfying couple (imo) that you can try is Live Up to Your Name.
Okay that ending just... I don't know how to feel? I'm glad it wasn't a blood bath, but one murderer gets visited by all his friends, and two mass murderers go free??

Just a warning, this is fairly spoilery. I found most of the drama to generally be unsatisfying. There are very few happy, satisfying moments, and in the end the main couple do not get to spend their lives together. The happiest parts are almost all dreams that don't come true.
They spend their lives still in love with each other, but apart from one another. The queen seems to lead a very empty life. Occasionally she makes him clothes and writes him letters. They are only reunited when the king is on his deathbed in old age. While that might be less dramatic than killing everyone, I still find it deeply unsatisfying, and it seemed like it wasn't entirely necessary. It was more convenient for his rule if they were not together, but it didn't seem absolutely necessary, which made it all the more unsatisfying.
Read a few comments about this being more about friendship and family love + the love triangle being frustrating. I enjoy pining and a good love triangle as much as the next romance junkie, but can anyone tell me if there's a good amount of satisfying romance? I'd hate to watch 40 episodes and come away feeling dissatisfied.
Just finished episode 25. The villains have mostly been dealt with, the objective of clearing the family name has been achieved, and the good guys are all basically happy. Kind of wondering if I should just stop watching and pretend that was the finale?
Does anyone know if this movie is available with english subs anywhere now? It doesn't seem to be on dramafever, viki, kissasian, or netflix and dramacool doesn't exist anymore.
