Also like the OST. It gives a 90s music vibe.
After all these good sides, I find it boring. It was slow for me. I find Yun Jin A falling in love with Seo Jun Hui very quickly. I hated Yun Jin A mother to the core. I wanted to beat her so much. But on the other hand, I liked her father. He was so supporting of her. And took her relationship so well.
I didn't like the ending . It was rush ending. Their separation was unnecessary in the end. Also Yun Jin A case against her employer conclusion wasn't properly shown.

Where the Fuck is ML??
In real life I hate politics, but when it comes to series or movies, I love watching the political genre. Watch this show for Zhang Ling He & its political genre. But they ruined it. I loved the political plot & twist & turns, but they reduced ML screen time to supporting characters. As Zhang Ling He fan, it's really disappointing. Even if it was any other actor, I could complain about ML's screen presence being so less. I know it is a women-centric drama, but in other dramas they use the ML character very well, at least doesn't reduce his screen time. I would've given it a 10 rating with all the political plot, but they destroyed it. I have a rating of 7 for the political plot & cast acting.Pei Wen Xuan is smart and cunning, but his love for Li Rong is obvious. Throughout the series, they said he is smart but never showed properly. In the Story of Kunning Palace, ML's cunningness & smartness are shown throughout the series, but here they only said it didn't utilized it. Also, he didn't have a purpose other than to chase after Li Rong, which is another disappointment. In SOKP he had a purpose, but here there's none. Zhang Ling He's acting was good. It was visible from his expression that Pei Wen Xuan truly loves Li Rong & could do anything for her.
Li Rong is selfish. She never tried to understand Li Chuan, Pei Wen Xuan & Su Rong Qing. Li Chuan was struggling to rule, and was under a lot of pressure from noble families. Instead of helping & supporting him, she also did the same thing to him. I'm saying what he did to her is right, but she is the reason it ended this way. In Pei Wen Xuan's case, she always assumed that he didn't love her or support her. She never tried to express herself or never tried to communicate with him properly. At last Su Rong Qing, she trusted him so blindly, despite knowing that his family was being executed because of her brother. It was obvious that he wanted revenge. She never asked her brother the reason behind Su families family's execution. She is smart, no doubt about that. The way she ploted against those noble families was awesome. In this life she tried to change her fate & truly help & supported her brother. Also expressed her feelings for Pei Wen Xuan.
What's that ending dude!! Li Rong says she loves Pei Wen Xuan but still gives a lovey-dovey look to Su Rong Qing. The scene where Su Rong Qing tells the past of his brother & Pei Wen Xuan to Li Rong was so focused on Su Rong Qing. They wanted to show both sides of the story, but the execution was wrong. They would've edited the scene with both Pei Wen Xuan & Su Rong Qing telling the story at a time rather than focusing only on Su Rong Qing.
Su Rong Qing was also selfish. He would've done so much better. He would've helped Li Chuan in ruling. The fact is, he is also like othes, want noble families to rule nothing else.
Laughed how Pei Wen Xuan & Li Rong keep on arguing about their past issues. Love their bickering. Zhang Ling He & Zhao Jin Mai have amazing chemistry. I can see why they're cast in a new series so quickly.
Loved the friendship of Li Rong, Shangguan Ya & Qin Zhen Zhen. They're strong, independent women who wants to change the ruling systems.
I loved Shangguan Ya character. She fun-loving, smart & independent girl.
Laughed how Pei Wen Xuan didn’t even let Li Rong finish before agreeing.
Loved when Li Rong slapped Pei Wen Xuan's uncle. It was so satisfying. The way she came to save is so awesome. She was on fire.
Its cute how Pei Wen Xuan hugged Li Rong.
Laughed how Pei Wen Xuan was trying to seduce Li Rong.
Laughed when Tong Ye came running to Li Rong saying Pei Wen Xuan was missing & he ended up seeing her there.
Laughed how Pei Wen Xuan & Cui Yu Lang got into Li Rong's house by climbing the wall.

Masterpiece
Loved everything from the story to the acting to CGI.Jang Uk is witty, smart, genius, carefree, jolly minded, lazy, lout, fickle. He isn't a great mage & lacking in power for some reason. Throughout, we'll see his growth. I liked that they didn't show him as a powerful mage who is unbeatable, which is why we can see development.
Mu-Doek is a mysterious person. She is straightforward, isn't afraid of anyone, brave, an expert at lies. I liked how her voice changed into a somewhat mocking tone, but in front of Jang Uk it's different. She has another name, which is Filthy Mu Deok.
Jang Uk & Mu-Doek have a master & maid relationship and also a master & student relationship. In the end, lovers. They focus more on the master-maid & master-student relationship. But there is love between them & it's shown by their actions. They do end up together in the end, but.....
Park Dang Gu is fun-loving, kind, speaks without thinking. Seo Yul is a serious guy who always stands for the right.
Love how Jang UK keeps on teasing Mu-Doek by giving her lots of work.
Loved how unbothered Jang Uk was after breaking Jin family heirloom. Park Jin fell down on the floor while chasing him because of it.
Laughed when Jang Uk asked Maidservant Kim to carry Mu Deok on her back & Seo Yul to carry him, their shocked faces after hearing it.
Angry face of Park Jin when Master Heo tells him that he is a lonely person.
The way Park Jin & Maidservant Kim tease each other for having feelings for Jang UK parents. I love them together. They are my favorite couple.
Laughed at how Jang Uk made Park Dang Gu believe that Mu Deok likes Seo Yul.
Laughed my ass off when Jang Uk, Mu Deok, Park Dang Gu, Maidservant Kim offered that they'd drink the filthy water.
It may seem like Park Jin hates Jang Uk actually, he cares & loves him.
Love Park Jin & Maidservant Kim bickering. Loved the way they were stammering to say each other good-looking.
They way Jung Uk & Mu Deok firmly said they’re not married to Master Lee.
Jung Uk horrified face & reaction when he learns that he drank tea which could lower his libido.
Loved how easily & with a straight face Jang Uk said the Heo Yoon Ok that her looks didn’t impress him.
Laughed when Park Dang Gu asked Park Jin if he has any secret child or not & the embarrassed face of Park Jin.
When Jang Uk & Crown Price came to find their loved ones but ended up seeing each other, it was hilarious.
Park Jin acting like a kid to meet Maidservant Kim is so cute.
I laughed so much when Jang Uk & Mu Deok started acting to get punished. The confused faces of Park Jin, Jin Mu, Crown Price & Sang Ho.
Jang Uk scared face when his serect of having 7 exes was revealed in front of Mu Deok.
The face of Jang Uk when Mu Deok said, "she likes him a lot" & kissed him.
Loved everything. No Complain.

Sweet & Heartwarming
Simple, sweet story of friendship, love, motherhood & second chances.Cho Yong Pil is a weather forecaster. He is crazy, short-tempered, knucklehead, and loves his city.
Cho Sam Dal is a successful photographer. She is badass, smart, brave, crazy, temperamental, but hates her hometown. She shows herself strong, but she also needs someone to lean on.
Cho Yong Pil & Sam Dal were best friends from childhood, but for some reason, they brokeup. I loved their first meeting, it was hilarious. They were fighting over pants lace.
The way Cho Yong Pil thought Cho Sam Dal as a thief & his friends coming to catch the thief.
I laughed my ass off when Cho Yong Pil came to save Cho Sam Dal, but he fell into the water. After being saved by Cho Sam Dal, he was so embarrassed that he wouldn’t look at her & in the end, she did the same thing which he did in their first meeting.
Whenever Cho Sam Dal is drunk she would fall down & the boys would hurry to hold them.
Poor Yong Pil & his knees
The happy dance Cho Yong Pil gave when he got to know that Sam also liked him
Loved how positive Cho Yong Pil was about Boo Sang Do having feelings for Sam Dal.
Sweet thing Cho Yong Pil does, like tying Sam Dal shoelace in any kind of situation.
Loved the haenyeo fight between the two towns.
Bang Eun Joo deserves all of it. What Sam Dal mother did was right. Cho Sam Dal should've sued her if I were in her place, I would've sued her for lying. Because of these kinds of false accusations, many celebrities' careers are over.
Loved how everyone in Samdal ri helped Sam Dal with her exhibition
Laughed so hard Cho Sam Dal parents seeing her & Chong sleeping together.
Loved Cho Hae Dal & Cha Ha Yoo relationship. Cha Ha Yoo is more maturer than her age. Always worried about her mother.

LOVED IT
This kind of drama with thrillers, suspense, violence & action is what I watch most. I used to watch the Mexican & Colombian Narco-Series, which had many episodes & seasons. This is the first K-Drama I've watched that includes violence. I enjoyed it a lot.Nobody is a Saint here. If you're a saint, this job isn't for you.
Park Joon Mo is a police officer. He is arrogant, has a lot of attitude & also cunning. His fighting between right & wrong. His hurt face whenever Jung Ki Chul mentions his wife & insults him. Ji Chang Wook was awesome in this drama, he killed it with his performance.
Jung Ki Chul is a drug dealer. He is smart, not like other gangsters who are always temperamental and don't use their brains. He calculatively takes his next steps. It's a pity that his this kind of move faded in the end. Wi Ha Joon did a phenomenal job. Loved his acting. First time watching him & he left a good impression.
Jung Ki Chul & his friend's brotherhood, loyalty ended because of power-hunger & money. I didn't like how his friends used to address him as 'Sir' when they were all partners. I think this is the biggest reason why their friendship turned out like that in the end.
Yoo Eui Jung is an elite officer who is related to both of them. She doesn't have much of a scene time. I mean her betrayal affected Jung Ki Chul the most. But without her, the story would've been the same.
Loved Lee Hae Ryeon. I didn’t know it was BiBi. Her acting is good.
Loved Park Joon Mo & Lee Hae Ryeon. Their kissing scene uff. She ate him.
Love Jung Ki Chul walks with his gang. So classy & stylish.
The fight they had in the narrow alley with other gang members is also my favorite scene.
Discomfort between Park Joon Mo & Yoo Eui Jung after seeing each other with someone else.
To the length of madness, Park Joon Mo went in episode 9. It was crazy but also awesome.
Lee Hae Ryeon & her bodyguard relationship & what he did for her at last.
I wish Park Joon Mo & Yoo Eui Jung had talked to each other about all of this in the end, then it would've been better. I mean they won't go back to being what they were, but at least talking would've helped even if it was about a breakup.
Loved the execution of fighting scenes.
If you're okay with violence & narcotic stuff, then give it a try. You may like it.

Liked it
The story is emotional, mystery & friendship. After watching the trailer, I thought ML was a stalker who fell in love with her FL, but it's totally different. They build a mystery in one episode & reveal it within a few episodes, like the child's identity, who wants to harm her & why.Seo Jung Hoo is one kind of agent. He is clever, smart, good at fighting, and has no friends. His jumping from one building to another gave me Tom Cruise feeling. I loved Ji Chang Wook acting like a fool.
Chae Yeong Shin a reporter on a small online platform. She is smart, cheerful, full of love, but has a dark past. She suddenly starts singing and dancing whenever she is depressed, nervous, scared. I liked Park Min Young acting especially her crying scenes.
Kim Moon Ho is a famous reporter who is searching for a child. The story from here. I loved that they didn't show any love triangle. Kim Moon Ho loves & cares for Chae Yeong Shin but not in a lovely way but as an elder.
Loved Jo Min Ja & her sudden outburst.
Chae Yeong Shin *& her father singing "I am Thirsty" & Seo Jung Hoo shock reaction. Her singing & dancing in her room while changing her clothes, she kicked her pants & it landed on Seo Jung Hoo face. The poor boy was so mortified.
It made me emotional when Seo Jung Hoo mother left him & young Seo Jung Hoo crying. His crying face made me cry.
Love the face off between Kim brothers.
Loved it every time Jo Min Ja suddenly appeared on Seo Jung Hoo's screens.
Choi Myung Hee knows that Kim Moon Shik is a changed person now. He is now cunning, a hypocrite, a psycho, manipulating everything, full of tricks, but she never doubts him that maybe he is the one behind everything, as she used to a reporter who used to fight against wrong & corrupt. I get that she also changed became seriously ill because of what happen to her in the past.
Love some sweet scenes like Seo Jung Hoo putting his hand on Chae Yeong Shin head while driving so that she doesn't get hurt. He followed her all the way to her house after the lift incident. She confessed her crush on him.
Seo Jung Hoo is the opposite of his father. His father is jolly minded, jokes around all the time, fun-loving, always smiling. On the other hand, Seo Jung Hoo is serious, doesn't talk much, unsocial. They walking scenes were emotional.
Pure friendships & lives which got ruined because of selfish people.
Seo Jung Hoo face when he had a table full of food, which was rare for him.
The death of three friends, especially Seo Jung Hoo's master, was heartbreaking.
I laughed hard at the screen when Seo Jung Hoo introduced himself as Chae Yeong Shin boyfriend & the way her father wanted to beat her up.
The ending would've been better. I badly wanted to see Choi Myung Hee & Oh Ji An reunion, but they didn't show it.

I honestly watch it for Luo Yun Xi
It had a lot of potential, but they ruined it with the same jealous secondary character.Gu Yun Zheng is a neurosurgeon. He is a serious person with a moral attitude, always thinking about work, good at everything. Luo Yun Xi as always gave his best. 1st time I saw Luo Yun Xi character having a grandfather & dad (although their relationship is bad). Where in previous dramas of his, I watched either they were dead or abroad.
Su Wei An is a medical student drop out. She is a money-minded, carefree, reckless kind of person. 1st first seeing Zhang Ruo Nan, she did well.
Many may feel annoyed or angry with Li Wan Tong but I liked her. She wasn't the jealous or cringy kind of person who was pursing ML. The way she used to pursue Gu Yun Zheng was funny & enjoying to watch. The scene where she gave Gu Yun Zheng her period schedule was funny, this kind of straightforward-character is rare in C-Drama.
I liked Jiang Mu Ying, need a friend like her.
I hate Du Yun Cheng & Wen Ran. Most annoying characters.
I feel Lacaya part was unnecessary. They would've started it when they started dating & after that Su Wei An found out about her illness. In this way, we would have seen Gu Yun Zheng support & love for Su Wei An. Instead of the story of Du Yun Cheng & Wen Ran they should've focused on the journey of Gu Yun Zheng & Su Wei An to the clinical trial.
They shouldn't have cut the last 6 episodes. They should keep it 40 episodes. Many important scenes are missing because of this.
Like the OST

This drama kept me hooked
When I saw the trailer a few months back, I thought it was a romcom with a typical C-Drama story, but it proved me wrong. I loved the story a lot. I need more of this kind of story in C-Dramas. Romance is not the main plot of the story. I don't mind if there is a little romance, the story is well executed & pretty engaging. If you are a romance drama fan, then this is not for you.Xu Si is a cunning, scheming, smart & always thinking about profit kind of character. Gong Jun acting was good. Looks handsome as always.
Jiang Hu is not our typical C-Drama FL, she is strong, smart, calculative, arrogant, not a damsel in distress or a crybaby. But she is also kind-hearted, and thinks about others. Elaine Zhong acting was good. Before this series, I watched her series The Furthest Distance, there is no similarity between the two characters. Both are so different. Even Elaine Zhong's looks are also different. From dressing to style, everything is different. Red Lipstick suits her a lot.
Xu Si & Jiang Hu sexual tension in their 1st meeting. Loved Xu S pursing Jiang Hu phase. Gong Jun & Elaine Zhong have good chemistry together.
One of the great things about this drama is that there is no cringy or creepy Male or Female antagonist who is after our leads.
Xiang Zhao Yang is the opposite of FL. She is quiet, reserved, does everything according to her principles. She can't tolerate wrong doing. I hated her mother, she is a selfish, money-minded women. Always using her daughter as an earning tool.
1st I didn't like Yang Jian at all for what he did to the FL in episode 1. But after that, he became Jiang Hu's biggest support & best friend. He was always there for her. Standing by her side, still the end. Their friendship is something I enjoy a lot. Yang Jian is a kind-hearted person who will go out of his way to help others.
The thing I didn't like was the way they wasted Wei Zhe Ming talent. He has more of a guest role than a supporting role. I feel like they used him. They would've given Gao Yi more importance in the story, then it would have been interesting. The interesting part is that both the FL have a crush on Gao Yi.
Why all C-dramas have a rush ending? They should've made the whole last episode about Male Leads relationship.
Loved the Ost.

A masterpiece, WANT SEASON 2
I loved this series so much.I saw the trailer of this drama after seeing Yu Shu Xin & Zhang Ling He names in the captions. After seeing them in Love Between Fairy and Devil, I wanted them to work together as a couple. After watching the trailer, I was so excited to watching it. And it didn't disappoint me.
This kind of dark wuxia mystery story I wanted to watch. There are also some funny & light moments.
I like Yu Shu Xin acting in it. This kind of character suits her a lot. I didn't like her character in My Amazing Boyfriend 2 & Love Between Fairy and Devil. Many people complain about her acting & eyes being bland, but that what her character is, Yun Wei Shan is an assassin, taught to be tough & emotionless.
I also liked Zhang Ling He acting. First, he is handsome as well as hot. Gong Zi Yu is sometimes smart and sometimes foolish. At the beginning, he was a fool, but as the story progresses, he starts to become smarter, more responsible. His smartness is shown in completing 3 tasks and plotting against villains. The plan he executed showed his smartness.
I 1st saw Cheng Lei in A Familiar Stranger. I liked his acting in that. He has a beautiful smile. Gong Shang Jue is a responsible, smart, cunning character. For him, the Gong Family is everything.
1st time seeing Lu Yu Xiao. She is beautiful. Shangguan Qian is a manipulative, cunning, smart, selfish character.
Can't believe it's Tian Jia Rui 1st series, he is so good in it despite being it his 1st show. He is hot & has a nice voice.
I love Gong Zi Shang. She makes me laugh whenever she is on-screen.
The young actor Lester Lin he played Young Master Xue, at such a young age he gave strong performance from his stone expression to his fighting scene all of it was mind-blowing, he will be a great actor when he grows up. BTW he is only 12 years old.
People comparing both couples. I don't see the need to compare them, they are unique in their own way. Gong Zi Yu fell in love with Yun Wei Shan at 1st sight. They are both always helping each other, standing for each other, protecting each other. Yun Wei Shan loves Gong Zi Yu but doesn't know how to express her love to him, but she slowly does. On the other hand, Gong Shang Jue & Shangguan Qian seductive kind of romance. As Gong Shang Jue is a smart person, so to win his heart, Shangguan Qian did all kinds of wooing & seductive things. There is love between them but also betrayal other.
I love Gong Zi Yu & Jin Fan relationship. The scarifies Jin Fan made were heartbreaking for him but he never blamed Gong Zi Yu for it instead he protected him with his life. Also, I enjoyed watching Gong Zi Yu & Gong Zi Shang interaction.
Loved Shangguan Qian & Gong Yuan Zhi bickering. Their constant fight to grab Gong Shang Jue attention. Also, Gong Yuan Zhi getting jealous of Shangguan Qian after seeing Gong Shang Jue taking care of her.
From the start, I wanted to see Gong brothers together, at last I saw it.
I loved all three Young Masters, especially Yue & Xue. The way they all supported & helped Gong Zi Yu. Young Yue story was really sad.
I loved the fighting scene, it was so well choreographed. Also like the cinematography.
Like the OST as well.

Ever expected to end up liking the series
This series made me laugh as hard as it made me cry. I don't cry watching movies or series. After a long time, a series made me cry.I loved Chen Xing Xu's acting. He portrays 5 different characters. I like his acting as Mei You Qing more. Every crying scene of Li Guang Ye Tan made me cry.
Loved Chao Feng & Gu Hai Chao scenes a lot. They made me laugh a lot. Especially when Chao Feng was taking fighting lessons from Wu Dai. Also, the scene between Chao Feng & his mother was laughable. And his relationship with Shao Dian You Qin.
Both Qing Kui's & Ye Tan's endings made me cry hard.
Liked Chao Feng's character. He is manipulative & cunning, which are needed to survive in the Void Realm.
Heavenly Empress & Xue Qing Xin are both the best mothers. Their love for their sons and daughter-in-law is unimaginable.
Void King & Heavenly Emperor are the worst fathers of all time. They all think of themselves & ruling the world. Never consider their children's feelings.
At one point, I found Zi Wu & Qing Heng selfish. They wanted Shao Dian You Qin back because he is the most powerful in 4 realm and can save them, not because he is their brother. They didn't even consider La Mu, Mei You Qing, & Wen Ren's feelings. Just wanted their brother. If I were in their place, I would consider how my brother feels.
At 1st Qing Kui was a sweet, caring, & down-to-earth girl. As the story progressed, she became strong, independent, smart, & little bit manipulative, which was as always needed to survive in the Void Realm.
Ye Tan was cunning, arrogant, and a little bit selfish at first, but slowly she started to become loving, helpful.
I love Qing Kui & Ye Tan's sisterly bond. Their love, trust & worries for each other were so sweet and touching. In any other series, Ye Tan would have been a villain and hated Qing Kui because of their past or Qing Kui would have been a villain and hated Ye Tan because she wasn't able to marry Shao Dian You Qin. Luckily, this didn't happen here. In the first series, the sisters didn't become enemies after a tragedy.
I loved the friendship between Ye Tan & Man Man. The scene between the 4 leads was so sweet & enjoyable. Also, the friendship & trust between Ye Tan, Qing Kui, Shao Dian You Qin, Chao Feng, Zi Wu, Qing Heng, Di Lan Jue, & Man Man were so loving & heartwarming.
It would have been great if Qing Kui & Chao Feng had gotten the same scene time as Ye Tan & Shao Dian You Qin.
What if the bride swap didn't happen & Ye Tan ended up in the Void Realm? It would be a wonder to watch Ye Tan keep everyone on their toes. She would have taught the Void Queen a perfect lesson.

I liked the story. Leads acting was goods . Quan Quan is adorable and he is so smart always helping his parents to get back together. I rewatch clips from this drama a lot. I know this kind of story has been repeated but this drama is enjoyable to watch. I skipped second and third lead scene many time. Their story was not that much necessary. I loved to watch Quan Quan, Min Hui & Xin Qi scenes together. Want a friend like Cao Mu who supportive.
Loved the opening & ending track.

Became a fan of Bai Jing Ting
II finished the drama 1 & half months ago, so I have forgotten the details. This is a healing journey of FL & how much our ML supports & love her. It's not a typical C-Drama with lovey-dovey scenes & lots of misunderstanding kinda love story. It's a mature drama.It is that kind of story where acting is important. Firstly, Bai Jing Ting is awesome as Sang Yan. From his acting to his smile to his handsome & sexy figure, everything is on point. He has become my new favorite. As for Zhang Ruo Nan, I am impressed with her acting. I didn't like her in her previous drama, but here she nailed it. She brings out the essence of Wen Yi Fan. Her struggle, pain, loneliness, she portrayed everything so perfectly.
But I'm disappointed that they didn't show Sang Yan's carefree, loveable side more. I wanted to see Sang Yan & Sang Zhi's interaction more, their silly fights & all. As well as his POV about Sang Zhi and Duan Jia Xu. More importantly, I wanted to see his POV of Wen Yi Fan.
Things I liked:
Loved how they connect present incidents to past events.
Laughed at how Sang Yan had to stand in a queue for Sang Zhi for the toilet.
Loved the way Sang Yan replied to Wen Yi Fan through a TV interview about being happy.
Sang Yan expression when Wen Yi Fan told her to sleep with her was hilarious.
Laughed at how Wen Yi Fan was running fast to avoid Sang Yan & he kept on following to catch her.
Sang Zhi is really Sang Yan sister, helping him to pursue Wen Yi Fan.
In the first meeting, only Sang Yan sister told all of his dirty secrets to Wen Yi Fan.
Loved how Sang Yan arranged a place for Wen Yi Fan to practice dance in high school. The boy was already head over heel, in love with her.
Sang Yan didn’t sleep the whole night after Wen Yi Fan hugged him & she had no clue about it. He kept on thinking about what had happened & his expression when she said she would explain if she did it.
Sang Yan was scared of a horror movie if Sang Zhi knew she would have a burst of it.
The way, Sang Yan secretly buys things for Wen Yi Fan which she liked but didn’t buy because the price is so cute.
The way Sang Yan called Wen Yi Fan just to hear the salesgirl say "your wife is beautiful" is cute.
Wen Yi Fan having the wrong idea after seeing Sang Yan & Duan Jia Xu together coming out of his room in a bathrobe was hilarious.
Love how Sang Yan waited outside of Wen Yi Fan hotel to make sure she was safe. That is what true love is.
Laughed at how Sang Yan carried Mu Cheng Yun on his shoulder.
Sang Yan safely guarded the whole apartment so Wen Yi Fan didn’t get hurt while sleepwalking. It is heartwarming to watch.
Wen Yi Fan came into Sang Yan room while sleepwalking & after waking up, told him that he was dumb, it was hilarious.
Shirtless Sang Yan no, no Shirtless Bai Jing Ting is yummy.
Wen Yi Fan is uncomfortable when Mu Cheng Yun or other men touch her, but not with Sang Yan. Sang Yan is her safety net.
Sang Yan was jealous of Duan Jia Xu because Wen Yi Fan said he was handsome. Also, she was jealous of Duan Jia Xu because Sang Yan was close to him in university life. Poor Duan Jia Xu.
It’s cute how Wen Yi Fan said Sang Yan was the most handsome man & how he got shy.
Overall, it's about second-chance love, healing journey, self-love, unconditional love.

Acting & Chemistry was on point
I expected more. What I saw in the trailer & what I watched is totally different. The first 10 episodes were great. But then it turned into a typical historical political drama. There is no problem with having two different stories, but it wasn't executed & written well. The second half would've been great if they wrote it correctly.The ending was a very big disappointment. I read in comments that Murong Jing He did many questionable things like in the novel, but still Mei Lin forgives him & ends up with him. Here they totally changed his character. I mean he pretended to be a red flag, so I don't think the ending was necessary.
I really wanted to see a red flag ML to green flag ML like Till the End of the Moon, but alas, he turned out to be our regular ML.
Liu Xue Yi would've killed it by his acting as a red flag ML. But they didn't provide it to us. That doesn't mean he didn't play Murong Jing He well. His portrayal of Murong Jing He was great. I loved how he played the crazy & scheming Murong Jing He in the first few episodes. I also loved the way Murong Jing He talked seductively in the first few episodes.
I loved Liu Xue Yi & Wu Jinyan chemistry.
The way Murong Jing He eats the thrown bun uff.
Laughed how Mei Lin's behavior in her hallucinations. Thinking of Murong Jing He as a tree, describing trees benefit. The way she held him down to describe an imaginary tree.
Laughed so hard with Murong Jing He tactics in ep 10. Helping Mei Lin in her punishment, watching her all time either lovey-dovey eyes.
The way Qing Yan died was heartbreaking.
I love the OST.

Not Your Typical ML
This story is different. Not your typical revenge drama nor your typical ML who is all righteous. He is a baddie. For me, a gray character.Ji Sung's acting was just wow. Now I know why people love his performances. He killed it as Kang Yo Han. Can't imagine anyone playing this character other than him. Kang Yo Han is someone who will do anything to achieve his goal. Even if it means taking the wrong means, he is ready to take it.
I get why Kang Yo Han hated those people from SRF. But that only reason wasn't so convincing for me. It would've been great if they were the real mastermind behind the fire incident. Also, it would've been great if they took revenge on individuals rather than altogether. The punishment he gave to criminals was unrealistic. But it was so pleasing to watch them get punished.
Kim Min Jung's acting was also great. She made me hate, feel annoyed by Jung Seon A. She is a perfect antagonist for our Kang Yo Han. The way she talks, or her mouth shapes irritates me a lot. I even watch interviews of her to see if she talks like that.
Honestly, the other character didn't impress me that much.
Laughed when Kang Yo Han called the Minister a street dog.
Loved how Kang Yo Han turned the table against big shots at the end of ep 6
Laughed Kang Yo Han & Kang Elijah relationship. The way he tried to talk to her nicely. I wish they showed more of their scenes.

First, I loved the villain. Dae Mok was always the first step ahead of everyone. The way he plotted & schemed against everyone. I loved that.
At first, Crown Prince Lee Sun was immature, native and foolish. But after experiencing so much, he became mature, smart & scheming. But he is too kind-hearted for his own good. He cares for people more than anything. It could've been great if he had been a little bit brutal.
Kim Hwa Gun is another character that I liked. She was always devoted to Crown Prince Lee Sun. She did everything in her capacity to help & save him from her grandfather. She loved him so much that she could die for him. I wished Crown Prince Lee Sun & Kim Hwa Gun were a couple. Their love story could've been interesting to watch. A forbidden love story.
I find Commoner Lee Sun irritating & annoying. I never once sympathized with him. In the middle of the drama, the things he did annoy me to the core. I skipped so many scenes of him. He didn't even have any character development. I get it that he is a puppet of the group, but still some growth in his character could've been nice to watch.
It's a quadrangle love story. Kim Hwa Gun's love was pure & honest towards Crown Prince Lee Sun. Even if he didn't love her, all she wanted was to see him safe & happy. On the other hand, Commoner Lee Sun's love for Han Ga Eun turns into an obsession. And our dear Han Ga Eun had no idea about it for quite a long time. I mean how come a girl doesn't notice if a boy loves her or not when he is behaving out of his character for you.
