Personally, as much as I love romance, the moment they made the leads' relationship and romance the focal point…
Sure, I understand your point and it is a good point. However, personally I'll always take into account the ending of the drama when rating it, because of my own time spent and emotional investment while watching it as well as money spent on the subscription + VIP package for early access and + Express package, but it's usually from 0.5 to 1 star difference, it should not go from 10 stars to 4 stars just because of the ending, I agree with you here. Of course the cast & crew deserve a lot of recognition for the amount of work they've put, that is why I rated this one 8.5 ⭐ for a various of reasons. I consider it a good rating. I don't think anyone here questions the performance of the main cast, but that being said, of course any drama will be criticised and dissected by the viewers, especially the ending, cause it's literally the culmination of the show and the ''result of the exam'' in a way. The problem is that some viewers are a bit extreme in their positions, spreading hate and misinformation, and that is perhaps the problem...idk
The romance focused audience is the most blind audience that doesn’t focus on detail, a destroyer of good ratings…
Personally, as much as I love romance, the moment they made the leads' relationship and romance the focal point of the story, it kind of lost the charm for me. I thought their love will be a parallel/subtle thing, and the focus will be on revenge and redeeming, but we got another dramatic torturous story, the ML was so very intriguing at first, it's a pity it went in the direction it went. As for the happy or sad ending, I think it's only in human nature to seek HE, as we get emotionally attached to the characters and naturally wish them to have a happy ending. Real life does not have happy ending most of the time, that is why we are watching dramas as a distraction from everyday problems. But of course, everyone's opinions are subjective as it should be, that's my take on things
Well, what can I say? After production of "The Double" turned novel's HE into drama's BE, than did last minute…
Yup, from now on I'll just stay away from ongoing dramas and start them after they finish it and it has a decent ending. Thank my days that it was 32 episodes only...I shutter to think what 40 would do to us...
Phew, finally finished this freaking drama!! I kid you not y'all, it was like a dark cloud looming over me these days 🌧️. Now that it's out of my system I can move on (aka go cry in the corner again😭) Hope to see our leads reunite in another drama, preferably a romantic comedy🙏
Hopefully this becomes available on Viki as well 😍
Yes, really hoping for it to be on Viki too cause I'm wary to buy a subscription for this when Wetv always trolls me with the unavailability of shows in my region 😭
I don't blame you! I also put it on hold since episode 13. I realized at that point that this was a binge series…
Exactly, don't see the point of them doing this, makes me wanna stay away from Youku subscription and express bs on principle in the future. #offtowatchfangsoffortune ✌️

Damn, can't argue - I'm excited about PG release, but why they be doing us dirty like that with KMLM...cmon!! Atp I'm just torturing myself with various youtube shorts of ML & MJH lol I need to pull my sh*t together 😂
