Nian Nian Wu Wang (2024)

A Whole Lot of Li Jiu Lin Goin' On!

This story, confusing as I found it at times, had some potential. The writers didn't deliver. Li Jiu Lin carried this drama. He was divine in the lead role. I drank him up in every scene. There was just enough chemistry with the abrasive FL to make me want more of them and hope for a HE.

Did we get one? Well, it depends on how you think. I would have liked them to have had more time together as husband & wife OR give us some more time with them when they meet again in the present. I don't care much for those one-off meetings and then the rest is left to the viewer's imagination. That's why we watch these dramas - we want the action, not the imagining. They wasted so much time of petty kidnapping crap and fighting scenes. So, this tale isn't winning any writing awards.

BUT - I got me a good helping of watching this gorgeous ML strut his stuff in a uniform (oooh!! He carries military wear soooo well!) And enough shirtless scenes and a couple of bath scenes to make my heart skip a few beats. Shallow, I know - but these days, you take the eye candy where you can find it, and Li Jiu Lin is definitely eye candy!

Will I rewatch? Probably sometime in-between episodes of a current series I'm watching. or on a lazy weekend. Just to admire LJL!
