For me, as long as the storyline is progressing nicely, the drama is always entertaining. And this has baby bumpy road compared to xianxia, with its tons of angst 😅
And compared to political genre, this is far from depressing.
It is taking too long. Many of us are tired.
It was not a lighthearted drama since the beginning tho. It is more about surviving and defeating the bad people and the bad people are still around.

Shakespeare used comic relief in his tragedies. We need a little more than one problem after the next with no relief.

We should not compare classic writers to drama screenwriter tho. And Hamlet or Othello is way more depressing than this drama 😅

My point was that the drama is just too much on the rocky road side. I am usually more forgiving but I find myself so tired of it, and others feel the same. If you know me, you will know I am not one to keep bashing a drama, but this one is just too tiring right now. I considered waiting for the rest of it before watching ep 30 but then I decided to get it over with.

So sorry that you feel that way. Waiting until it is wrapped up or stopping altogether is what you can do for now.
I do that to the drama that I no longer enjoy watching. I have plenty of them. Sometimes I continue till the ending and sometimes I stop and watch something else.
A drama or any form of entertainment product is not suppose to tire us out, especially when we have option and can switch to something else we like.
Enjoy your day. Stay healthy and happy!

I figured. I was hoping tomorrow was already the 26th in the sense that we get the express. Wishful thinking as I want the bumpy road to be over. I am tired of being bumped around😂

Its the same with any other good drama, the more it gets dragged the more frustrated the viewers are but for the platforms this is how they get user engagement .

Usually, I am quite tolerant. I even rate dramas 10 when there were some disappointments. But this one is making me lose my patience.
