Liking cliches, when I promised I wouldn't is so me!! I was angry because they had a childhood connection, but…
Yeah I like that as well. One thing I don't like the most is the dark side of this story. I was hoping for a fun, light drama that makes me giggle through out and feel relax. But noooo, the evil "white hair" uncle part has to be included with all the dark tropes such as that nasty ceo guy from the raffle housing thing that treats people like they owe him the world - the entitled characters that we see in many dramas. Asides from that, I like everything else so far.
Ok, this drama's poster looks great so I looked up the introductory summary. The summary sounds interesting too . I watched episode 1. I dropped the series. The most obvious reason I dislike it from the get-go is how powerful Wu Lin Fu is. According to the drama, he's a chief of eunuch? So how is a chief of eunuch, no matter how much the emperor trust and like him, in this first episode, he seems to have more power than the most loved imperial consort. He didn't bow, or address her in the scene when he was walking toward her carriage, I found that odd. In addition, his costume doesn't make him look like a powerful chief. He looks more like any other common eunuch. Perhaps there's much more to this story but then again, I've lost all my interest with this drama as I don't really like how this story starts with the main leads. To those who are interested, enjoy!
Ming Xian, she knows her situation yet she's nowhere prepared for moments when suspicions of her true identity are challenged. Episode 13 she just got so quiet the whole time without any smart retaliation and just left everything to everyone else to defend her, in which drove me crazy. I was so frustrated so I called her "dumb ass." Then comes lies after lies. I don't know about you guys but "white lies" where you know you don't hurt anyone but instead lighten situations can be good and perfectly acceptable. But these lies we are seeing from the lead can endanger someone so it's quite disappointing. I like her character because she started out so bad ass but then she got all weak as if her physical strength weakens her mental strength does as well. I hope things will change soon or I will start disliking her. ML character on the other hand developing quite well, I am beginning to like him a bit more every episode. This is how I see character development should be. We, viewers, should like the main leads more and more with every episode.
In the novel i dont remember exactly but i think he find she was after him and she told him she was poison after…
Thanks for your time writing this but reading your writing I am at a lost. I have no idea what I've just read. LOL I have never seen paragraphs without any punctuations before. No offense. I actually think that it is quite funny.
I am running out of dramas to watch so I started this one. I like the first ep and I like both of the leads. But who the heck style for this drama? On episode 2 when ML showed up to his father's engagement party, that outfit with all that rhinestones around the neckline of a t-shirt...gosh... in the U.S this trend was a some years ago designed for Contemporary Women's brands then after a year or so it became more popular so fast fashion started utilizing this trend as well and so you could find similar stuff (cheaper materials of course) at discounted stores such as ROSS or Burlington, etc. And his coat with all that trim around the collar like it's from a vampire movie with those huge flowers embroidered on both sides. I am a fan of unisex clothing and some men can look great in anything and nothing has to be all macho for men, etc. But this is just not visually pleasing considering timing and scenario of the drama. Over the top, glitzy and all bling out do not represent high fashion. Then to the FL's dress, she came in a work suit then changed to a black , overly dramatic dress but then her hair was all professionally up-done with pearl tiara. What the f*** ? Anyhow, these are just examples, the main point is the styling and clothing in this drama are so outdated and overly dramatic, they look more like costumes instead of fashion. I can't continue watching this. Have to drop it due to the irritation of my eyes not to mention the ML has way too much makeup on, it ruins his good looks because he's good looking.
Everything is sort of unfolding and we are only at episode 26. According to dramalist there are 38. I am worried how much more crazy it gets. I can't deal with villains outsmart leads so many times and staying alive too long. It's too much stress.
Currently on ep 7I just know Jingshi is pure evil from the flashback. At first I was like, a romance between the…
I like the actor and he looks great in this drama but yeah his character sucks so bad. That country is so doomed with a crazy, sex addict king with an evil empress dowager. And the only hope left, prince Jing Shi turns out to be a weak, manipulated, pure evil guy. I hope the story will go into Suige becomes emperor and take over Zhennan by killing off all those yuckie people above.
Omg imagine if the mother is still alive? Suige does not stand a chance with 2 control freak women around him…his…
Nah, FL character is very composed and sympathetic. I don't see anything freaky or out of control about her as she is very caring, soft, and respectable toward the ML.
Yeah, agreed. I am hoping this drama is fluffy and fun. I don't mind the contract marriage idea as I think they…
Definitely. Try mainstream movies or if you really like drama, perhaps the western ones. Some are really good. I think western dramas have much less drama tropes.
No offence but I have to say Kdramas nowadays are becoming too predictable in their plots and the settings are…
Yeah, agreed. I am hoping this drama is fluffy and fun. I don't mind the contract marriage idea as I think they can be quite fun to watch BUT, with this one I am already seeing all the familiar tropes such as a cheated ex, a rich and powerful elder with jealous children, an heir from a rich family with parents killed in accident that turned out to be a murder case instead from a family member that wants the inheritance, a cousin that could be another option for being an heir, a noisy aunt/uncle that's money hungry, a villain of a uncle, in this case a married in uncle that is saintly on the outside yet, a true devil in the inside. And as of episode 2 another familiar trope of childhood encounter that left the lasting impression on the leads. Gosh, I am sure there will be so many more to come but I 'll watch this if it's fun. But once it goes dark, I am going to drop it. You're so right about K-dramas these days. I wonder why writers keep going back to ideas that have been used soooooo many times over and over. If fantasy, then how about something so out there that makes us viewers wooo haahhh wow! Or if relatable then how about something without a rich and powerful prince or some groups, corporations, etc. So tired of these stories, how many of us can relate to that?
