VrindaAV

i have watched 13 episodes and surprisingly i found this interesting. Leads are sensible and communicate like normal people. I found their chemistry cute. FL is very young so we should remember that. bcs she might look immature sometime but she is willing to accept her mistake and learn from it. Overall for once i loved how leads interacted same with all the supporting roles. Its fun to watch. only complain i have is FL's attire. It just so out of place and keeps changing .

After long i guess after LBFAD i completed a fantasy drama and i must say overall a good drama. For once i didnt find ML spouting blood every episode or getting punishment every other episode . For once there was a good mix of power and emotion and FL too a sensible and powerful character. Best part for me is the yearning between the leads. Very few dramas show that yearning and i love it . Good watch. i found some things in last episodes a filler and boring unlike most of them who found first few episodes boring :)

Haha His characterisation and the make up was so bad in LBFAD i guess lot of people just ignored him ?

So true about the trope and pattern. I have slowed down now bcs i dont find anything new nowadays. But once in a while a show like Meet Yourself , Reset or Some day or one day surprises me. Even the ancient dramas no one does it like C dramas but somehow i realised only very few interests me. I dont see this kind of shows atleast in my country(India) or in American shows.

Thanks. i will give it a try as well

hmm. i loved FL in this. She was actual teenager when this was filmed! She becomes more and more serious and mature as the show goes on. I found her better than FLs in most youth dramas :)

Haha i am pretty late to this land. i got introduced to C Drama and Korean drama in late 2020 :)

i loved ZLH in Flourish in time . I got introduced to him luckily from this drama not from LBFAD like most people . His character with a sad childhood (and some incidents which i will not spoil for you) was portrayed so well by him. Over all i found the leads and their overall journey very well portrayed compared to some other"famous" youth dramas out there . Specially FL. Definitely not a "try hard" cute kiddish portrayals i see in many youth based dramas . As any other youth drama there is good amount of "time pass" school stuffs (and not so great second ML ) happening as well mind you. And this is purely their school to just before joining college journey so again sadly you will see only hugs no kisses.

TBH i think i loved it and gave such high rating bcs it was my first youth drama which was sort of mature in the sense that characters were very teenagers but not annoying or that stereotypical and at that time i was craving such shows so it holds special place for me ! Else may be i would give somewhere around 8.5 to 9 i guess!

I understand. It happens to me as well . Hows alchemy of souls? i have heard so much about it and its been in my list for long and havent yet come around to watch it

haha for me this drama ML is the most realistic portrayal of olden times general. Not a hot headed nor fully cold but a typical general who speaks with his actions. i loved his subtle acting !

This is definitely not for you then. There is no kiss scene at all. This is sort of forbidden tragic love story. You get hugs but no skinship. Its more of in the eyes and actions sort of love shown here. If you like such slow burn and chemistry where love is seen in their eyes and actions like me then you will love it else you will be disappointed

Exceptions exist but most women were not so that doesn’t mean they can’t be part of a story or they don’t have a story to tell so .. everyone need not be Mulan to be considered brave and powerful

Ok sorry for my dumb comment. I had answer for this but if you think everything other than your smart comment as dumb there is no point ! Even I have No need to have further dumb discussion

Well FLs have to be teens bcs marriage used to happen very early in historical times so they cant show FLs in late 20s or 30s and being lovey dovey without marriage like modern times . Already some of the things FLs do seems to be far fetched atleast from an Indian perspective. I am not saying it’s right or anything but that’s the way it was for women in older times . Freedom was so limited and sense of propriety was so much on women so i find it surprising that FL could do freely be romantic like that !!

If they are morally grey then annoying , if they are completely goody two shoes then boring . I find this tags for both ML and FL but ya overall I found MLs are easily liked and FL not really !

Well that way ML also do the same . In fact most shows specially historical , ML forgetting every responsibility they started with sacrificing for romance is the most overused thing . But I don’t see that hate for ML. So doing something for someone you care is not cliche . That’s basic human reaction . Even XW is doing everything for FL . Isn’t he also risking everything for romance ? So why hate FL just because she is not doing that for ML !

I don’t get this hate towards FLs in almost every shows i watch. I see the same in Viki comments . Anything they do it becomes annoying somehow. No body wants normal people who can make mistakes or have their own story to tell or arc to develop ! I agree there are many shows where FLs are portrayed in a cliched sense but recently I have seen so many shows where they are sensible but still they somehow become annoying for every action they do (and useless if they don’t use the sword in historical shows. Bai Lu’s character in One and only i see so many commenting the same but I found her fit for the time she lived in ) PS : even I am not happy that after half of the drama aired still no sight of ML & FL but that doesn’t mean we strip FL of her agency !

yes ZZ is important to FL. we cannot deny that. whether he is compatible or not whether it is attraction , admiration or love . i think many are impatient bcs its half way through the drama and we dont see ML & FL relationship development. Even i would want a good development shown between ML & FL and not rushed there.

I have always liked him since I watched Flourish in time . A good youth drama . Nothing great but still a good watchable drama but ZLH got my attention since then

I don’t mind her arc with ZZ if they show a good relationship development with XW . That connection and emotional bonding development is important for us to root for them but yes looking at no. of episodes we might be in a disappointment

I get all that and i dont think everyone has the capacity to do most heinous act specially to the ones they claim they love. This i am talking about YL.Also i am not saying she should run away and hide in the cave. All i am saying is i am surprised she was so comfortable with that horrible memory of him. And i havent seen minority report. so i cannot answer about that. As to TTEOTM i had other issues nothing to do with character. Infact first 10 episodes i was like heck ya this is new where characters are not some big God saving the world only to start spewing blood later. So no need to put down somebody else's opinion and thoughts by "lolling". we can discuss about what we perceive without outright dismissing someone i believe. anyways we agree to disagree. at the end we are still enjoying the show. so lets do that :)
