Good opening scene but the rest was a mess. I disliked FL

I watched Li An Qi in a drama with Huang Bo and she gave a great performance. I noticed her name when this drama was released and I got the feeling that it was jiejie romance so I watched it. What a disappointment!

What I liked:
1. Visuals - Li An Qi made a great older woman and Shen Yu Fan was very handsome
2. Intimacy - Spicy & hot scenes.
3. Supporting characters - I liked FL's friend at work & her eventual husband.

What I disliked:
1. FL characterisation - She was fickle. I don't get it why she chase another man to be her boyfriend when ML was clearly interested in her.
2. Romance - A lot of push from FL. I also disliked that there was distress in their relationship. FL chose someone else to marry.
3. Scheming - A lot of scheming happened.

Stumbled upon this gem when I was searching for Zhou Yu Tong's drama

LIKE

Omg that cannibal scene cannibal due to war - pukes

Very confusing every scene is moving fast no time for silly jokes all serious business

Need to know Chinese history to understand so many armies and countries omg

So many characters I have headache everyone I watched from here and there and see them in one drama wow huge blockbuster

Rewards and punishment from Shui Qiu Zhao Quan wow well said

Not at war doesn’t mean the world is at peace

What Qian Hong Chu did and all the generals, officers of Bian Liang covered for him wowowow

Hong Chu’s innocent thinking often lands him in trouble but he also did stuffs what others don’t dare to think of doing

Hu Ling Gong loves Wu Yue a lot

What Hong Chu did to He Cheng Xun was so good and taught Minister Hu a lesson

The Guo family so saddddd why good loyal officials generals are often being blamed

Emperor’s all short lived

The attention to details everyone grew older overtime and their little actions showed it is really excellent

Ah Ping is so smart

This Si Ma Pu reprimands Song Dynasty Emperor wowowowow

Thus is the fate of two princes one is capable and one is not, complete opposite of their fathers

I cried for Sun Tai Zhen and when lands are given back to Song Emperor

Towards the end I had nervous breakdown just to see what is going to happen my god this drama is just too good

Would history re-writes if another person rules Song Dynasty?

DISLIKE

This Qian Hong Zong is really soooo silly don’t know what he is thinking.. he is pathetic unbelievable should just die - what he did eventually got rid of a loyal royal and official of Wu Yue

MUSIC - personal fav

Emotional, slice of life story

I've waited a while for this series to come out, though the story didnt go the way I expected it to, it was worth the wait.

it's an emotional story between two people who found comfort within each other. Although we never get a confirmation of what they exactly are to each other, you can see how much they care for other with their actions. They go through ups and downs together, at some point even being separated for years, however when they reunite you can tell how much they missed one another.

I'd say the ending is pretty open and up to interpretation although I like to think it was a happy ending.

My Cup of Tea

LIKE

Li Xun's messages to class monitor lolol short and sharp

Li Xun just likes to disturb Zhu Yun and when she is mad, it made his day

Such a mature Li Xun and Ren Di too as if they are re-living their lives the second time

Looking at the university days are just so sweet

The Co people so funny always screaming

Hong Shao Niu Rou and Xiang Gu Dun Ji - both dishes exactly the same line from King’s Avatar anime

Wow Go Ahead reunion!

DISLIKE

This Li Xun is such an arrogant person

Why can’t Li Xun explain himself? Totally no respect and I don’t blame Gao Jian Hong's behaviour

This annoyiny Li Xun should let him get tortured from Zhu Yun more

MUSIC - personal fav

one of the best kdrama i've seen ever

If you have doubts, because of all of the bad talk around the show this is for you:
WATCH IT!!

The story is fast-moving, however, not lacking on anything. The plot is something we needed in kdramas yet never got to see until now. It's not a toxic or unappropriate teacher-student relationship, but the drama shows a beautiful bond between them two and the process of a class uniting slowly to a family.

The casting couldn't have been more perfect. They all played their roles perfectly and it was fun to see how different eui-ju sees the world differently from the others as she sees what she imagines.

Additionally the acting and the script are really thought through. Every word they say, every expression they make: You are not overanalzing or delusional in the KDrama. It's all on purpose.

The OST has no skips too, which isn't usual for me. Real Fantasy by VIOLA, Sweet & Sour by SAYMYNAME, etc. It all fits eui ju and AVOR.

Overall, I don't want to spoiler you so go watch it now. It won't take long to watch it through and you can trust my words if I say that you will miss it even when you didn't finish it yet.

Bella storia, fatto bene, un po' piatto.

La storia è molto carina e interpretata bene. Forse anche un po' per questo mi aspettavo qualche cosa in più. Invece rimane un po' piatto. La mia professoressa avrebbe detto: "è bravo ma non si applica". Non ci sono grandi colpi di scena ma non è nemmeno queto il problema. Rimane tutto in superficie. A mio avviso si potevano approfondire meglio alcune cose ed evitare invece puntate un po' ripetitive. Tuttavia rimane gradevole e arriva alla fine senza perdersi per strada.
Non ci sono montagne russe, cosa che ogni tanto apprezzo, perché va bene anche vivere sereni. Rimane però a mezz'aria. È tutto sufficiente ecco. Forse per la storia e gli attori si poteva osare un po' di più. Quindi a mio avviso non va oltre il 7,5.

Please dont read the hate comments and be swayed by them!!!

So first of all I want to tell you that this drama was something so different from what I usually watch i like sweet melody type of dramas often with youth or young lovers plot but I didnt expect this drama to be this good I thought I would drop it but I didnt I continued and now its one of my most fav dramas as someone who doesnt watch that many kdramas. I dont know why people are hating this much and saying stuff that doesnt even make sense but dont read those and waste your chance to watch this masterpiece I love the cast I love the acting I love the story the song everything I love how gu won called the fml so sweetly like everytime he calls her "Do Do Hee" I smile like I won a lottery anyways I overreacted a little 💗

A beautiful, emotive, happy little drama

A surprising little enjoyable watch!

It’s a good murder mystery show, each of the cases were emotive in their own way, and I’m really liking the train that a lot of c-dramas are on which is the “women are just as capable if not more capable than a man”.

Story starts straight in (a little bit like The Double) where our female lead Shen Wan & her parents are hunted for reasons unknown. Parents die, and Shen Wan takes the identity of Qin Wan to survive and seek revenge.

I really liked Li Landy & her character. She played the smart and kind Wan’er really well. Li Landy is new to me, but I felt that she did have the perfect intelligent & mature (but still clearly young) look. Wan’er is a bit of a perfect character, but there were moments where her taste for revenge would make her think darker thoughts, but they never lasted long. I do wished that I saw more moment of her more emotional and almost more angry side (like that scene in ep 9 with all the skeletons), but overall, still very good, very believable.

Our main man ARP shines in this role as Yan Chi, the king’s nephew. He comes into the show looking like one of those that might never smile, badass young commander of the most formidable border armies. But then HE SMILED, and again, and again. And he is endlessly overprotective of Wan’er, which was very tasty (it’s exactly the kind of thing I’m a sucker for). The romance was faster in this show than most others, but I kinda loved that? If you enjoy proper slow-burn, lots of angst, then this might not be the show for you. The romance is more simple, he sees her, basically falls in love at first sight, becomes impressed by her very quickly (I mean who wouldn’t), and he’s knee deep before he knows it. It sounds rushed, but the show actually did it very well and it didn’t feel like insta-love at all. It felt believable, and real, and I really enjoyed seeing all the different expressions of love, concern, protectiveness, fear, joy and more from ARP. I first saw him in Moonlight Mystique and whilst I didn’t enjoy that show, I enjoyed him. He’s been added to my pretty list.

The cases in this show were interesting, and not at all easy to guess who the perpetrators were. I really enjoyed the plot twists, especially that last case!! Damn! And I didn’t find the show grotesque or anything (but I am also someone who has done real autopsies before so I’m not a fair judge). It did make me laugh how unrealistic some of it was, but it’s a c-drama, and again, most people wouldn’t know what the actual inside of a human body looks like, so that was okay. A LOT of work was put into the camera angles and the way some of those medical/autopsy scenes were shot, and I do want to praise that creativity. I think it really allows the audience to be fully immersed at what was happening rather than just hearing about something happening.

Extra spotlight to all the side characters that felt sick or threw up, those were always funny - especially the evil prince! Hahahaha

Music, as per Chinese dramas, are a 10. My absolute favourite is “Don’t Sigh” by Wang Shaoyun.

SPOILER: this show has an extremely happy ending, no one dies, everyone ends up together, all is happy. Which, depending on what you like, could either feel unrealistic, or actually a welcome relief if you’ve come from a bout of angsty sad shows.

I did quite enjoy this. It’s an easy chill watch and you don’t really need to think too much as the audience. But it was not boring in anyway, they kept it exciting, and the emotions from the show were enough to make me shed a few tears. 9.5!!

Liked this more than the main story. Was more engaging

When I saw Your Sky had a special my 1st thought was why? Cz i felt there was literally nothing they could add and whatever it was they could have just added it to the main story cz that barely had any plot and after few episodes it was draggy and boring. The long episodes just made it worse for me who is not a fluff person.

Then i started the special as a stress relief kinda thing and frankly i didn't like the ep 1 much i was bored took a week to finish it and then put it on hold for about 3 months😅. I really didn't wanna watch this cz the comments said they barely included the 2nd and 3rd couple here who's story i was more interested in. Later DWY came out i absolutely loved the switch from PorTeetee to TeeteePor and i also watched DMD Friendship season 1 and 2 so now when i picked this up I knew the actors more especially Gems, Ryujin, Pat and also AuauSave so I was just swooning over my ships (this episode had their story). I enjoyed the 2nd and 3rd episode. I still felt the acting needed some work cz the actors were pretty stiff and tensed in quiet some scenes but anyways for me it felt like i gotta watch an AU for DWY and a glimpse of DMD Friendship especially with the ending song we got in ep 3.

I still feel this should have been in the main story instead of special and if they had to keep a special they could have just kept a wedding special like we had for JohanNorth in fourever you

Perfect Crown is literally a 10/10

This drama had me giggling, kicking my feet, crying into my pillow, and smiling at my screen like a fool 🥹✨
IU and Byeon Woo-seok didn't just have chemistry... they had CHEMISTRY chemistry 😭💖 Every look, every smile, every tiny interaction had butterflies doing cartwheels in my stomach 🦋💞
And can we please talk about Prince I-An?? Because sir, why are you setting my standards higher with every episode? 😭💍 The way he looks at Hui-ju like she's his entire world... excuse me while I sob 🥹🤍
What I loved the most is that their love wasn't loud—it was soft, warm, comforting, and absolutely precious 🫶✨ They trusted each other, protected each other, and became each other's home 😭🏡💕
The visuals were heavenly, the cinematography was breathtaking, the romance was EVERYTHING, and the acting was simply chef's kiss 🤌👑✨
Perfect Crown didn't just steal my heart...
It adopted it, raised it, and refused to give it back 😭💖
10/10 ⭐ 100/10 for the romance 💕 1000/10 for the Wanseong couple 🥹👑
My heart officially belongs to Hui-ju and I-An forever

I'm greedy, I want MORE

Ci Sha finally gets the girl! I loved this show; loved the characters, sets, costumes/styling, the acting, the music, most of the plot. The political aspect of the show was a little more subtle at first, but overtook everything in the last 5 episodes. Does it make sense? Not really, but it delivered action packed fight scenes as well as emotionally. All I did was cry in those last few episodes lol. The ending feels incomplete, unfortunately. Another episode or two to really wrap things up would have been nice, if only to see a peaceful reunion for our couple.

Speaking of Jin Zhao and Yan Yun. Wow. I loved them so much, and they only got better once they were married🥹🙏🏻 Yan Yun is so devoted and intense yet tender with Jin Zhao, I really loved Ci Sha’s performance of the character. That scene when she was kidnapped and he rescued her is insane. There is so much restraint in his demeanor, so much tension in the way he positions his hand as he enters that shed—like, I 100% believed that he was 0.2 seconds away from snapping and going batshit crazy because Jin Zhao was tied up and almost trafficked (He is definitely part of the #ILoveMyWife club). Every moment between them felt so good, so sweet, so equal. I think they might be one of my favorite couples ever, just wow. Mutual devotion looks good on them. Loved it whenever they hugged too, Jin Zhao disappears in his embrace as he envelops her with his arms, just … big sigh🫂. Ren Min as Jin Zhao was a delight. She was so sassy in the beginning, and I love how she matured over the course of the show and yet still kept teasing Yan Yun (got to keep that man on his toes!). Her character really felt like a teenage girl who slowly grew into a young woman… I really wish we could have gotten more of her #greedy… I just love my doe eyed princess😪😪

The show isn’t perfect by any means, but I loved every second of it and will probably rewatch it just to reexperience the love story all over again because they were just that great.
