3 episodes in and I absolutely hate how this turned out to be a very uninspired and extremely typical ceo romcom and also hate that such a fun and cutie patootie fl will end up with a boringass man again (my poor meow meow just wants her soft Sabangnim in pastel hanbok not this boring dude in balck suits😡)...but anyways, might find the nerve to keep watching just to see if they make the fl design and actually wear her own hanbok inspired modern outfits (like Giselle from enchanted) cause the garments in ep 1 were sooo beautiful

I understand the appeal and why ppl love it sm despite not liking it myself but it genuinely boils my blood when everyone treats it like a masterpiece of revenge or noir or thriller or whatever 😭 like I just think it was intentioanlly made to be a campy and comedically stupid noir show and that's totally OKAY. The logic of the "crime" and "thriller" or even supposedly "legal" parts of this is objectively NOT a masterpiece of writing at all. If you consider this the best crime or revenge kdrama you've never watched any other show of this genre lol

I do NOT understand a thing from what you keep writing paragraphs about. Have a nice time though ♡

tf even are you saying 😭

Youku press conference tomorrow I hope they give us a trailer

I watched this a long time ago but I rmmbr this to actually be the more tolerable drama among the scriptwriter's hideous list of works lmaooo...I also recall my veins almost bursting from sml's sheer audacity. LJW has been an embodiment of a typical rich male with a very high masculine ego in almost every role I've watched him play and it's NOT left a good impression of him as an actor on me 😭 like ik it's just the roles and not him but I just can't

This was a fun cute little girl friend drama (yes I consider SG one of the gfs) about said gfs putting trashy men back in their place. Go back to your male centric political crime thriller masculine rawrrr revenge dramas if this is not reveng-y enough for you lol

I need him to get his sh!t tgt and start picking good scripts cause the talent and presence is THERE

why do I feel like at least 3 users who keep commenting crazy and messy shit in here are all the same person 😭

good riddance

tbh I don't have that much hope for this bc it sounds like any other xianxia but at least kiku's looks are all really pretty here and thank god there's no master disciple bs 😭

This still remains the one and only SE that is actually done right. The tragedy is meant to convey a massage and not just clout and buzz...overall I don't think any romance historical drama will ever have the courage to depict how fucked up a romantic relationship with such a huge power imbalance between partners will end up being like TRS lol...this drama has soooo much to say about the mess that Confucianism brought for women and working class in general in Joseon dynasty yet so many ppl just watch and intepret it as an average and already-told-a-hundred-times angsty kingXservant romance and go "lmaooo this isn't anything special at awlll 🤓"

Just realized I've watched so many bad and mediocre shows that she quite litterally carried on her back with her amazing presence and acting...like I would've instantly dropped those if it wasn't for her 😭 she deserves good dramas

ml playing the violin Tchaikovsky violin concerto out of nowhere with no explanation about the background is still funny as hell to me 😭

I actually really loved this costume designer's work in Ingenious one. Based on what I see here, some garments bl is wearing have what I liked about the costumes in TIO. The fabrics she picks have a visible texture on camera which is YUM! And the pieces are minimalistic but she always adds extremely delicate and unique hand embroidery to them and the ones I see here look absolutely stunning imo

the birds in her hair?? my jaw dropped THIS IS UNREAL

yeah lol it's even mentioned in her bio here...the Elle Woods of Chinese entertainment industry fr

I agree. He has ideas but he can't execute them at all...that's why the first couple of episodes from the dramas/first couple of minutes from his movies are really intriguing to watch and everything after that falls into irredeemable pits of hell lol...his strength is character and he should focus on that instead of trying to make his stories plot heavy and failing all the time

I was at this day and age that I found out esther is actually a fashion journalism major and this somehow did and did not surprise me at the same time lol

erm Idk I still don't like it
