Seeing the way Leon Lai and Fan Ji Wei's characters are here is so weird after watching them in Ancient Love Poetry and then FJW in The Blood of Youth too.
Oh so the needle actually passed to him. I kind of got confused when he said he crushed it. I couldn't really tell whether he actually did that or not. Thank you
I feel like the message from the plot wasn't really properly executed. Was it satirising discrimination and gender inequality within SK or was it promoting women empowerment or both?? I didn't really get it. Asides that though, it was really fun to watch. The bromance was really cute and I love how mature the relationship of the two leads was. I wish we saw more of the second leads' relationship though.
I agree with the first part. But the plot is supposed to be a mystery. The guy with the beanie? Pennhung (Chimon)?…
I know it's supposed to be mystery but it just feels not well thought out at some points. I don't know, maybe it's because I'm not done and don't yet have a full picture of the whole thing.
I don't really get why people in the comments don't like Nai, White, Tibet and Maki. Sure the way the plot neglected the other characters and focused on them at some point was kind of annoying but it wasn't particularly bad either. I actually like the characters. What I don't get is the plot. It's like it's trying to incorporate a bunch of things at the same time and it's so messy. One moment, there's some inspirational life lesson thingy going on, another moment, everyone is being weird, shady and creepy af. Especially the guy with the beanie, what's with his weird smiles??
Honestly, plot-wise, this doesn't really meet the standards of OG sageuks but at the same time, it is better than most recent ones. I especially really liked the way most of the characters were written. For the first time, I actually low-key rooted for the villain in a sageuk. And then the female lead's character was so good. She kept me watching the drama.
What was that ending 😭😭 How do you end a drama by leaving so many things unresolved, just like that?? It wasn't even an open ending, it was just totally pointless
They should have just given us Yang Yang and Liu Yifei in their own drama, this was totally unnecessary. Funny how it came out the same year as the drama.

His smile is just creepy.
