my thoughts:they started out as “siblings” at the beginning of the drama but turns out the FL is not related and has a different father. What unnerved me was that the ML and FL have a more than passing resemblance to each other (actually i think they look close enough to be real life siblings) so it made it so uncomfortable for me to watch. And worse was that the FL just won’t let off calling him san ge (三哥) even after getting married or having a child 😭😭*I had dropped it but watched the last episode just to see the ending.

my thoughts:

went into this with high expectations since it was recommended a lot on reddit but i came off disappointed and eventually dropped it. In my opinion, Si jin started really solid and fast paced and then eventually tapered off and dragged. I didn’t feel the main leads had a lot of chemistry either. It was partly my fault I watched this back to back with blossom and both had a similar storyline so I couldn’t help but make comparisons.

The drama wasn’t all bad, but the FL’s role honestly came off as a modern woman in a historical setting. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing to other viewers but it didn’t really sit well with me

i honestly wish they got a better FL for the show but i guess it’s acceptable. All the unnecessary pouting, batting of eyelashes and posing even during serious situations drove me crazy. The ML is totally worth watching this drama for. i’m almost done but the show is starting to drag. Will definitely finish the drama for the ML and the story conclusion though.
