As the Marquis of Wu'an, they have definitely watered down his personality to a baby husband who constantly needs to be taken care of by his wife. So far, Chang Yu has keeping the fire alive. I really need my power couple, separate and together.
What keeps the story going is how there's no boring episode, all the episodes keep making you want more, and more that it seems like a 10 minutes episode.
I hope they'll make him beg and crawl. Give us an episode of him begging at her feet for what he's put her through.
This drama literally has everything. Everything is engaging. The main plot, the side plots, the conflicts, the toxicity, the strong women, the fighting scenes, the cinematology, the chemistry, what more can we even ask for?
I've been so patient. I was waiting for this to finish so I could binge watch but look at me... about to finish watching episode 1 and the series is not even halfway through.😭😭😭
Okay, I dropped this last year after it aired. So after watching WilliamEst in Me amd Thee, I came across their edits on my reels so I was like "it wouldn't hurt trying it again."
I'm just glad I did.
I'm currently writing a novel (an mlm) obviously so I was deep into writer's block that I couldn't think of anything. My mind has been so blank and I usually get too anxious when I spend a lot of time not wriing anything.
I picked this series up the day before yesterday and I don't remember when last I have watched something so heartfelt, heartwarming and so beautiful at the same time which ended up with me breaking off my shackles and I've been writing from yesterday.
I'm truly not exaggerating.
The storytelling, the depth of their character dynamics, the chemistry, the pace... everything was well executed. You just had to fall in love with all the characters (the group+Po) and each one of their roles is so important and sympathetic.
It was beautiful how ThamePo fell in love with each other. It was not something that happened abruptly, it was by small touches, little understanding between them, being in the same space, and being apart. They gave me so many butterflies that I ended up screaming and punching the air alone because "WTF?" are they are precious?
It's so endearing seeing their chemistry being so simple, which is what I have seen in Me and Thee as well. A simple touch or a simple lock of their gaze bring so much spark better than I have ever imagined. I liked them too much, they feel so much like home.
I've never watched a 12 hour episode in less then 4 hours than I did with this. They should have given them another script. Yet it's clear they were building the hype around the previous characters from Addicted after all these years.
This was bad written. And the chemistry fell short (though I blamed it on the script because their chemistry was not probably explored. They just gave them unnecessary problems when they started dating and made them fall apart for the whole two episodes only for them to reunite in the last minutes) The first episodes didn't have any hook at all, there was no character depth, they were just butchering on top without giving us a reason on why we should care about them.
I think this guy will need therapy after this therapy. 1. there's some bi (or gay) awakening happening and he's growing attached. And those styles aren't for the weak, they just taught me some, done doing all the riding in the world.😭😭
I just wish there was a little story where they sprinkle a bit of romance and show their emotional shift that was happening in episode 4.
lot of recent kdramas where great and I dont get the western comment, what does that mean? violence or nudity…
I watch a lot of dramas but most of them usually falls flat plotwise. So far, I've enjoyed Can This Love Be Translated, Art Of Sarah, and To My Beloved Thief (I'm counting within a year). There are few good dramas adapted from the comics and the rest are just being adapted because they're popular online, not because of a good storyline.
And no, the western comment mean they're prioritizing western media a lot. After the hits like Business Proposal, King The Land, etc... it seems they're just adapting dramas to sell them to western media. This is happening to the kpop industry as well.
We used to get good quality writing, good plot longer episodes, good chemistry, good ost, good directing, everything with a good quality. But now it's rare to find all of that in one drama, you find one or who of the things I've listed and an exceptional cinematology.
How many chapters are they updating daily, really? I haven't started and I'm eagerly anticipating for when it finishes but it seems like it's going slow. (I usually check the updates)
I'm going to watch this. But kdramas have been so disappointing lately that I won't even expect much. I'll come and review it after.
And tbh, kdramas directors should stop adapting comics and write original scripts. And they should stop westernizing their dramas and bring the original Korean taste.
I was skeptical about this because of the body swap. They usually write it as the most normal thing that could ever happen apart from the shock the characters have after it happened. I really do not like it.
But this one was really good. It didn't last long, thankfully, and it benefited to the plot. The characters were so good, all of them. It's been a while since I last saw such a good cast in kdrama where all the characters, including the villains play their role so well.
They had good chemistry. And I was so glad they didn't make that second lady an evil character. And the SML was not entirely evil but he was not good, a flawed character with some goodness... yay.
Both the leads were good. no annoying arc, not whiny characters. No directed misogyny (but its bound to be there because of the era) and I liked the plot. I like the romance too, it was not forced. I thought it was the most beautiful thing considering their status, there's no need for a Cinderella plot.
Finished this after a lot of struggle and it was okay for me, not really the best as I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought i would.
The cases were not as intense, they were so dreadful instead of blowing my mind. Li Pei Yi was so stubborn to the point of annoyance, the only thing I liked about her is her martial arts and nothing else.
The romance was NOT convincing for me. It was a slow burn but I think it lacked something, their chemistry was definitely not as strong as I expected it would after acting in so many dramas together before. They looked more like loyal coworkers through and through. Even their "soft" scenes were painful to watch, like they were forced to do it and they just couldn't care.
The pacing was very much disconnected as well. A case that could drag 5 episode is a no go for me, especially when they're just trying so hard to do many twists and turns that seem so pointless yet I understood they were important to their investigation but it was a no for me.
The suspense about keeping Li Pei Yi from remembering was kinda emphasized in the first chapter that I thought it would be a mind blowing reveal and something crazy happened but nah, so it was definitely blown out of proportion.
I really won't remember this in the coming months. I don't think it'll be the kind of a cdrama that will stay with me for a long time.
The premise was actually promising but I struggled through episode 2. I had to fast forward so many scenes throughout the whole 10 episodes because they look like fillers, nothing is really happening and they butchered the whole plot and the writing is so bad that they made it look like a wattpad fic from a 5th grader. or better yet, like it was written completely using an AI. What a disappointment.
I'm just rewarching this and I'm actually trying to figure out how it wasn't so popular like other bromance dramas??
And it's actually a new experience watching after reading the book. I read the book after my first watch and here again, watching a few years after reading the book.
Censorship is shit cause we could have gotten the most complex romance between them but it is still good like this.
Wow. I haven't followed a drama so much in a long time since I'm always waiting for it to end then binge watch. This one had me waiting (im)patiently for new episodes. 😭😭😭
There were so many things I liked about this drama. Firstly it's that their misunderstandings and fights didn't take more time to be resolved. They truly wanted the best for each other. Secondly, There's no evil second female lead. What a progress, there's no reason to be misogynistic in every drama by painting other women bad. Thirdly, I loved how there were hardly no betrayals against the emperor and the empress from their court. Different fractions yes, but the people they worked with believed in them. Fourth, I loved how strong Wan Yin is. She can stand for herself and does not necessary hide behind the Emperor.
The drama has few of its flaws but they're hardly there. It's a non-skip drama, a 9/10 for me.
How is it that Cheng Lei can build so much chemistry with his every leading lady? He's so amazing.
So, Art of Sarah was Art of Sarah, the illusion she fed on people to the point of obsession using altar egos. I loved the mystery, and how everything came together at the end with patching up the plot holes.
I absolutely loved how her story was told in real time in different perspectives then you end up getting a better understanding of Sarah Kim.
That was a great suspense because at the end of the day, Who is Sarah Kim?
Why is everyone hating? You compare Anna and Celebrity with this one while in Romcom, they keep repeating the same storyline over and over yet no one complains. 3 thriller that sit on one table over 100 CEO romcoms.
The stories are completely different, just because they highlight the luxurious brand and lifestyle it doesn't mean they're the same. The dislike kinda looks forced.
I feel like we deserved more episodes. 10 was just too little.
I've seen people saying all the 3 main characters were a red flag but honestly, only Koh was a redflag to me since he kept being a certified ass.
Peem was not a redflag, he was just strung along and kept getting the wrong idea because Jira was making him believe they had a chance together. Though I don't think he ever fell in love with Jira, he wanted to make him emotionally dependent on him (considering how he told that barman that he wishes Jira can constantly fall apart just so he can go back to him) he became intrigued more with him because Jira was able to say no to Koh most of the time, something Pheem was not able to do.
On the other hand, Jira was nothing more than a victim of circumstances. I think he just cuffed himself on Koh and made himself feel special because the biggest jerk was into him. He's been struggling with his art and finally, he finds his muse. One of the reason why I didn't believe he truly loved Koh, I felt like he admired him like how an artist would admire his muse. He was drawn to what Koh gives to him. The real inspiration of art. Never love.
Koh was a narcissist ass who thinks the world orbits around him that I have no other words to say about him.
This is that one Bl where I wished everyone can and up single. Give us the red flags and give us correctly, and the chemistry between Offgun this time was off, and Gun had intense chemistry with Dew. Dew even had chemistry with AJ.
Overall, this has its people. It gave me Only Friends vibe cause no one was perfect, each character was flawed in their own way and that is just what we needed.
Don’t spread any fake news here🙄.The twins never said they were in a romantic relationship. They meant that…
Delete your whole trend of your comment if you think I'm coming for you, in which I was not sweetheart. I replied because you were still talking about clouts and engagements regardless of others explanations, thus why I was politely trying to explain that it's not what you think it is. Me referring to how people are determined to believe the rumors is not directed at you but people who choose to believe them regardless of being told that those are false accusations.
Most people pass here before watching a drama, now we didn't want any more misinformation now did we...

This is my drug these past few days.

The director was not bad. It is the writing.

Or when they announce a concert (And hopefully, the roaches that keep reporting them can jump off the cliff or something for the world's peace.)
