as always, typical korean dramas

as always, too much stupid character created by writer. i mean, how the diplomats deal with situation, like a kids dealing with candy fight. and about the bullying at school, there are many cameras and eye watching. how come its decided as oneside persecution by the thoose stupid teacher? no investigation?the story was 1 against 17? i mean 1 single lady fought 16 bullying gals +1 man with baseball bat? with over thousend camera and eyes ? thats all the out come? kicked out? and just be hosnest.. this is just x-man copying with little bit change on it.. droped at 6. cant bare anymore stupity rised to take viewer emotion. that trick is so lame.

Ep1

I've finished watching the episode and I can only say good words, the acting is very realistic, both actors have chemistry and I hope we don't have a love threesome. This is my first kdrama in 2024 and a best choose.

There are some scenes very hard but it the true, not a pink life. I want to listen the BSO but is very early because it’s the first ep.

I think it can be one of the best kdramas of this year, we're still starting but the premiere has been good.

We're going to see revenge and lots of self-love. I LOVE IT.

If you read the webtoon, you already know the next 16 episodes are gonna be full of emotions...

Well, as somebody who read the webtoon, l was already rooting for this to be turned to a Kdrama and they did.... I just watched the first episode and already, l was crying and fuming with anger at the same time, l wonder how it's gonna be for the next 15episodes to come
Marry my husband basically has almost and l just said almost the same plot as Perfect marriage revenge, the difference is if she changes something, something will happen to another person.... A twist right??? I recommend this soooo much... Its a good way to start 2024.....tho Minyoung needs to gain weight later😭😭😭

Butterflies, Good Vibes and Giddy Feelings All Over

Saying I love this drama is an understatement. It's just so beautiful.

I love how admiration, love, maturity, friendship, and relationships were portrayed here. I love how there's no big drama to ruin the relationship. It's just so beautiful. And I'm truly at loss for words on how much to share how this drama just made me overall so happy. The good vibes it gives is just enough to tell people to watch this masterpiece.

The story transported me back to the days wherein high school was truly a mix of fun, studies, and just giddying interactions with crushes and all that. Although not all high school love stories end up everlasting, the way the story was portrayed it was enough to just root for these couples.

The way she calls him Rang Rang will always be something that giddies me up. While it may be annoying if others do it, the way she portrayed her love and admiration through calling his name was just so sweet. Ahhhh~ this show gave me so much butterflies and love. I wish they made more shows like this.

Light and refreshing!

I’ve been putting this drama on hold for sooo long, and I regret not watching it earlier *sigh*. It’s something light and refreshing to watch, not much villains, also funny especially at the forest and dinner with Wei Shan’s parents after Zhuang Yu just came back from overseas, that scenes cracked me up. I couldn’t think of any other actress to play Yu Wei Shan because this role was perfectly suited for Eshter Yu. Any funny, cute and quirky characters really suited Eshter Yu, just like in the LBFAD and Moonlight drama. Not to mention Zhang Vin character were he was initially upright but consistently sided with the FL's antiques lol.

However, I agree with other people saying the second lead couple screen time was too much to the point the story seemed dragging to me. The drama could have made it a 26-30 episodes. Anyway, the drama was decently good, funny, the FL was truly a drama queen, loved her for that.

Most realistic yet beautiful...

In one word, it was perfect! I liked every part of it. It has a combination of sadness and happiness.

Character development is so good. Personally, I liked Nishi more as he knew what he wanted from life. On the other hand, akira loved nishi so much but he was traumatised by his mom! The only person I hated here was akira's mom!

At the end, we get a happy ending! The story is perfectly balanced. The chemistry between two of them is unigonrable. Rewatch value is high, it's good for quick binge! I think I'll come back to it!

Mini j-drama but it delivered BIG time

Loved the story/concept. What happens when you end up playing the main role in a bl drama? It first reminded me of 'A Man Who Defies the World of BL' and obviously 'Lovely Writer' that showed us the bad sides about the BL entertainment industry. But this was a totally different take. The show felt just so wholesome and all super natural, genuine and funny. And the story really went somewhere.. We get to know both actors and their backstories. And the actors did all great.. every actor in it delivered. Maybe it would have been nice if some characters got more air time but since there were only 3 episodes.. it makes sense? Nevertheless the two mains were truly great! Their facial expressions were on point, every time! And you bet I searched for the ost of this drama. It's very lovely. If it was possible I would even want to watch the bl drama they were supposed to shoot.. That even looked great! I wouldn't say no to a special episode with this content 🤡

Best xianxia of cdrama

I started watching this because of the last immortal, but i end up falling for this and in comparison this is far better drama than the last immortal...

In terms of casting, i love everyone acting because they really know how to show emotions... I can 't even tell how much i cried while watching this .

In terms of production tencent has done a great work, because every thing is top notch like set, costume, CGI, shooting angles...

This drama has the best ost i have heard so far.. Some dramas have 1 or 2 ost which are great but in this one every ost knows how to express emotions.

For xianxia fans this drama is a MUST watch and an advice for future viewers is
THIS DRAMA NEEDS PATIENCE

I will love to watch more xianxia like this...

Interwined Fate Through Seven Lifetimes

Definetely one of the best Xianxia genre in 2023. This drama is light and having a deep love affection between ML and FL. Quite good and unique plot that well written, not alot misunderstanding but more to straightforward relationship.

Started with the strong character of ML (Chu Kong as a God War), naturally born with Golden Qilin. Somehow, met a carefree fairy of marriage pavillion that under attack by the MuLuo divine sect for a Nuwa Stone. Myth said that Nuwa Stone able to resurrect Cang Hai (Muluo Empress) that killed by Chu Kong 30,000 years ago because of the assasination of Dixiu Clan and turning into a devil. Accidentally after encountering each other, their fate binded together by the red threads that said must going through 7 times tribulation to solve it.

They started to building an affection toward each other during the Mortal Tribulation. They protected each other on several lifetimes, suddenly knowing a fact that actually they've met each other long time ago. Curiousty bringing them a braveness to look out the truth of what happened in 30,000 years ago. They get back into the past with an identity as Chu Kong and Cang Hai. Finally, they find out the greatest secret that not written in history about Cang Hai which is Xiang Yun another identity.

Cang Hai wasn't the culprit, she was wronged. The mastermind behind everything is Chu Kong's brother, Hao Xuan (Reigning Emperor). Hao Xuan took away Ming Yue (Canghai Hidden Sister) who is naturally born with an evil aura. After that Hao Xuan also the one who make eveything becoming a mess 30,000 years ago.

Chu Kong and Cang Hai started their plan to blow up this secret to the world, and bring back the truth.

The story line well organized, also the actor do their job excellently that make this drama become one of the best Xian Xia in 2023. OST well choosen, boosted up every situation as if it was alive.

Loved this series

Pit Babe series has a unique storyline that we have read in fanfics but never in live action drama. I like abo verse, though they have included it with their own flavours. Car racing scenes are cool. Production is high class . Pavel acting is superb, Pooh is so cute in his role.there chemistry is awesome. I love the mystery part and the action part. Love scenes are hot and cute. They are not explicit and i love the way it still hot and convey Charlies cuteness
Cinematography: cinematography is drama appropriate. Car racing scenes look real.
Cast and Acting: All the cast members look beautiful and posh , it's a treat to watch them

Lot of Plot Twist

The story is about seven people who are doing evil things to accuse and kill an innocent girl. All of them agreed to hold the secret together. But not long after that, the innocent people know who's the culprit and manage to fight back. Sadly, all of them mostly fail. When the situation turned back, the plot twist came and it ruined what we already knew or expected. It's very interesting to see the whole story! Can't wait to see the next season!

The effect they were using to make this series is amazing! Love the battle scene and the angle they were used to shoot. Recommended to those who love Big Mouth and The Penthouse series. It's like the combination of those series into one.

great show overally .

You know one of those things you procrastinate to watch then when you finally do you realise it is amazing.Loved everything about this it was a really good show didn't have love rivals and clinging ex lovers which was good and the acting was fantastic definitely recommend . The main cast chemistry was really good and side characters fit in to their roles I will admit I didn't really understand why they made one of the characters love the male lead because it didn't really come up to anything . It was funny but not too funny because the suspense was alot

Good stakes for a time travel revenge drama

Just watched episode 1 and will update when I've finished the drama.

Wanted to note that in the first episode the drama does one thing immediately better than most time travel dramas in this Melo romance genre: it creates stakes.

If the female lead (Park Minyoung) changes something about her fate then it happens to someone else. If it doesn't transfer to someone else then it will definitely happen to her. So every action is balanced.

This lends a tightness to the story I wasn't expecting.

Not your typical romance

Romance is definitely a secondary plot of the drama, if not tertiary.

I'm writing the review as I'm re-watching the drama as there are a couple of nitpicky things that bother me.
1. The marketing team is in charge of development, working with production, and all the other things. 🤔🤔🤔 Why not just call it The Team as they seem to be doing it all.
2. Director of the headquarters, what sort of title is that? It's the label on 옥자정's office but she's Director of marketing (see rant above). As there is barely an office scene without showing it it's annoying me more and more.
3. There's the main cast that's the focus of the story, but there are at least 2 people in the same office space as The Team who are on occasion shown as part of the group but they don't otherwise get any acknowledgement or even a name. At one point there's a performance review and there are ~7 personnel files, but it's all focused on the main 4. Why bother padding the numbers if they aren't involved in any way whatsoever. Actually excluding these extras would probably make more sense and emphasize that this is a small business. Otherwise making it a marketing team focused only story would also make more sense.

It's still an enjoyable watch, even as a re-watch, but don't expect too much from it.

Not great. READ THE NOVEL INSTEAD.

I'll make it short: Just go and read the NOVEL. The novel is absolutely beautiful and many many MANY times better than the drama. The whole drama is like 1/20 of the story in the novel and it has a slightly different... theme and feeling to it. It's a beautiful cultivation story about Qin Wentian and how he rose to power of all realms and etc. you know the vibe. The casting for this drama is probably one of the worst in xianxia novels' adaptations. Just save yourself from the trouble and go read the Ancient Godly Monarch novel instead
