the story is all over the place!!! its a drama on law yet not even one case is clearly explained, we don't exactly know when one was closed and another one started, which ones are going on in parallel, which ones involve the ML and which ones involve the FL and which ones are being handled by both. No depth to the cases, no background, we are thrown straight into the courtroom. I like both the ML and FL and also the side characters so i am holding on just for the sake of seeing them all get a happy ending (really hoping the leads to end up together). Other then that the story just doesn't seem like one where the focus is on the cases or the lessons learnt from them, or redemption arcs, just nothing. Its hard to even tell what the main focus is in this drama.
So at this point, even if they start dating, it won't seem that convincing, nor do we have enough episodes to actually see them together. They do this very often with kdramas that have 12 episodes, the starting episodes are good with lots of scenes where leads are together, followed by complete and utter chaos, which feels like it's never gonna get over, and somehow 11th episodes and now everything make sense somehow, and is resolved, the leads are now together, and we have a happy ending.
ML:"Look at that glare, as if I were some scheming consort whispering poison into the emperor's ear." Also, ML pretends to fall on FL. If that's not a scheming consort move, then I don't know what is๐คฃ
It refreshing that for once we have a drama where FL already knows about the ML's identity and we will not have to go through all that "you faked your identity, I hate you" plotline. Rather, we have FL, who clearly knows about the ML, and on top of that, is actually protecting him and playing along in whatever scheme he crafts for his gains. Both are clearly head over heels for each other.
In episode 4, liking it so far. The fighting sequences are good, and the CGI is top-notch. I like the ML and FL, not much sure about the other characters. The only thing that amazes me is why such a big organization like this one doesn't have a single good doctor on their side, like wherever or whenever FL meets anyone new, turns out they have a disease, and somehow she is the only one with the cure๐๐.
[watched till episode 5] I think FL should not let the bias that the SML will be a good guy just because he was written so in the script. Why? simply because many things are different than what she remembered from the script. Personally I find it a bit strange that the king, the prince (the other one not the ML), and the SML, do not feel much guilt about losing 3 cities, thousands of soldiers, and citizen, they all are just busy in their own games, pretending to be working for the greater good while somehow always being against the ML. ML is more of a villain born out of the actions of others but of course, that doesn't give him the right to become a bad guy.
I guess this is the first transmigration drama for me where the writer of the story/script is actively participating to make sure the story remains on track. It also reveals how much more is present in the story's universe beyond what is written in the story. But later part of the drama is going to be heartbreaking because most probably ML will have to cheat on FL and marry her younger sister, while FL will die towards the end (and maybe they will meet again in the future like in the romance of tiger and rose). Whenever anything that can affect the main plot happens, everyone's behaviour is updated to sync them back with the main plot, irrespective of how they feel.
I haven't yet completed episode 2, but I am sure about some things: FL likes ML (but for some reason keeps him at a distance), and FL and SML are not exes. I think it's more like people just thought they dated, and FL never said anything for or against it (considering her personality).
Started slow but ended with a bang. The first episode was a mix of many things. To start with, they somehow made a crime-centric drama this slow, like that's hard to pull off. And I think they should have introduced them in the beginning, I think they tried to increase the impact by doing that in the end of the episode, but the episode was too slow paced so many people were just barely hanging on due to the actor/actress they liked, or many just simply left. But but but from the point ML's was hit by the car, the theme shifted, it became dark, mysterious, and there was this sense of adrenaline rush in the air "what's going on? What's going to happen? Are they being targeted?, etc." And from the moment the Good Boy song started playing in the background (I suppose that the name of the song, since it was written so on the screen on FL), it was just fire. For me, the FL and ML took the spotlight in the fight sequence, the way both were fighting with the music in the background, Oh my Oh my!!!!!!! can't wait for when they will fight alongside each other (Mr. and Mrs. Smith style). To add cherry on top, there could be romance between them too!!!! Can't wait to see how the story moves forward and how the team dynamics will be.
The way FL and ML are fighting to gain leverage for their respective clans, makes me think they might end up unifying the whole country at this rate๐๐๐.
I started watching this drama after watching a ton of reels on it. And I have to confess I thought that the ML was a bad guy from the edits who doesn't treat FL well (like he insults and rejects her only to end up becoming her caregiver after her memory loss). But after watching the episode 1 (upto the marriage past) I think him not accepting the FL makes sense. Like nobody in their right minds would llike to be abducted, drugged, forced to get married, even more so that this family is a suspect in ML's master's case. One can see that its Not a very good combination to start a relationship. Plus he is also involved in some controversial investigation so he is be even more inclined to reject FL to keep her out of danger.
ML and FL look hella cute together. I thought Ester Yu was the only one who could pull off the innocent and cute character vibe without making us cringe, but FL here is doing so well, too. The premise of this drama feels like Love You Seven Times, but with some changes. I am at episode 4 and am liking it so far. I watched the behind-the-scenes of where they reshoot some of the scenes, and oh man, it must have been hard for them because acting without much context and mostly with green screen (because they can't completely recreate the scenes and the setting of them together so they will mostly opt for edits), especially for the FL.
The drama be named divorce insurance, but serving us with one of the best main couple. I love the ML and FL of this drama, both are good people who have had their fair share of misfortunes in life. The overall theme is good too, the comedy doesn't seem forced, and the interactions between the characters seem natural. One can clearly see that the drama is about making marriages seem good and in a better light by taking the approach that one should get out of a relationship if they are not happy and have differences that cannot be changed or circumvented. They are trying to show what makes a marriage work and what can break it, when you should continue and when you should stop, what you should value and what you should not compromise on, etc. of course not that deep but somewhat they are touching on those topics with a lighthearted tone and blend of comedy. So far, the drama is interesting. Let's see how the rest of the drama goes.
[Watched till episode 4] The ML is just awesome, the best character in the drama so far (maybe the one who will suffer the most too). How he interacts with everyone seems so natural; moreover, he is determined, resilient, kind, and hardworking. FL is good too she is just a bit annoying, but is a bit considerate too.
ML's mother reminds me of Li Rong's mother from princess royal. They both are too dumb for politics, are easily manipulated, don't know how to value their children, and somehow are unhappy when their not so favourite child gets something they want. Thank god ML was raised in the southern fort if not he too might have turn out like Li Rong who had to again go through a lot to free herself up from all the scars her family gave her.
Oh my god this drama is a gift for our souls ๐. The stunning visuals of the leads and the beautiful scenery of the resort painted in snow is mesmerizing. (the characters look so fluffy in their winter wear)
I was wondering why the speed of their romance was fast but then I saw 23 episodes in the counter and it kind of made sense. Although as per the theme I believe it is much bigger for just a 23 episode plot, I hope there is not much compromise in the depth of the story. Till now the only problem I have is they weren't successful in highlighting the male lead as someone who has a good standing in his field and is a star coach and player. Instead of making him get called master by nearly every person in the drama they should add scene to make us feel it without explicit mention. Even with FL the buildup for her profession to us really vague it doesn't feel like they are supposed to be famous people with unparalleled skills.
Episode 22 is awesome, I liked that the author didn't just brush off the whole thing rather made FL and her friend face things a bit. Although it will all be resolved soon enough (considering they start dating in episode 25 or something) but at least they now understand the weight of the situation they have created. The ML's reaction was on point the actor portrayed it really well, we can feel his confusion, sorrow and anger in the scene.
What the hell, in episode 20 we have ML blaming himself of yet another death, great!! ๐ญ (the amount of psychological stress this guy is going through is enormous, him still now losing his sanity is commendable๐ข I guess that's why he is the ML here cause anyone else in the show would not have handled it so well atleast not the ones who have been suggesting all these tactics while saying he is a grown man so he should be able to handle this much)
I like both the ML and FL and also the side characters so i am holding on just for the sake of seeing them all get a happy ending (really hoping the leads to end up together). Other then that the story just doesn't seem like one where the focus is on the cases or the lessons learnt from them, or redemption arcs, just nothing. Its hard to even tell what the main focus is in this drama.
Also, ML pretends to fall on FL.
If that's not a scheming consort move, then I don't know what is๐คฃ
