DEFINITELY WATCH THIS

watching this for the first time was everything! as someone who has been a carat for a long time now this type of content was very healing to watch especially because it broke from seventeens usual tight schedules. even if unfortunately Scoups was not present for the most part of the variety show (dispite him being my bias) his appearance was there from time to time and the other memebers just seemed so happy in Rome.I also just love na pd he is such a great guy I love him and his much appreciated effort to be able to keep his promise and bring seventeen onto his healing show. If you love seventeen then this content is a much watch and I garuntee you will fall in love with it just like I did and many other carats did!!

Tay and New Shine in This Addictive Romantic Enemies to Lover Comedy!

My favourite GMMTV pairing, Tay and New, are finally back, and they are absolutely delivering. This enemies to lovers romance starts off strong and never slows down. The chemistry between Toto and Kanit is incredible. Both characters are chaotic, stubborn, and hilarious, making every interaction entertaining. Their constant bickering, roasting, and refusal to back down from each other create some of the funniest moments I've seen in a BL series this year.

What makes this series stand out is how fast paced, funny, and unique it feels. Episode 1 keeps the energy high, balancing comedy, romance, and drama perfectly. The workplace setting with a paramedic male lead and a flight attendant male lead adds a refreshing twist that makes the story feel different from other series in the genre.

I was also excited to see Mond and Ryu together again as the second couple. They add even more charm to an already fantastic cast.

If you enjoy Comedy, Romance, and Drama with enemies to lovers tension, LGBTQ+ representation, and plenty of chaotic energy, this series is a must watch. It is funny, crazy, heartwarming, and endlessly entertaining.

This is easily one of the best GMMTV series I've watched this year, and I can't wait to see where this wild ride goes next.

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.

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

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.

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!!
