i think i binged watched the first 15 episodes. it was really good imo. it was paced well and got me invested. i didnt expect the acting and cinematography to be really great too. but going in, i knew this was going to be a sad ending. im on episode 16 now and they look so happy i have to remind myself that one of them is gonna die and i have to prepare myself. i read reviews from people for the drama’s ending because i wanna be prepared more but danggg now i dont wanna proceed because i know how hurt im gonna be when i reach the finale. i really really reallyyyyy wanna finish bc i love their chemistry and LXY is so freakin handsome to look at but now waaaah i dont want my heart to break into pieces so im not sure if i can continue watching. really bad move fof me to search for ppl’s review on the finale
i guess i just wanna vent my feelings out here cuz i have no one to talk to regarding my cdrama obsessions!
btw i watched this bc i hated LXY’s character in L&R but even there he was so handsome i couldnt hate him properly so i wanna watch a drama where hes the ML and i can freely admire him and not be pissed bc of his character lol
huhuhu i cant with Xuanji during their breakup arc. her actions feel too unfair for someone she claims to love so much. i know her emotions are at an all time high bc of the revelations but still i feel like it’s too unfair for Sifeng. and i hate hate hateeeee Hao Chen. he’s being an even more a** contributing more to the misunderstanding wow i dont think i hated a character this much before……
i feel so so bad for Sifeng hes too much of a martyr 😭😭😭 im so angry and frustrated this is too much angst for my heart!!! pls pray for me that i can push thru so i can see them make up and have their happy ending 😭
loved this drama! i tend to prefer costume dramas than xianxias because it takes a lot for me to be immersed in a xianxia drama. i need the vfx to be convincing enough and for the story to be told in a way that it make sense in my head. that said, this drama fulfilled those requirements for me hahaha. the ML and FML is also such eye candies theyre both so pretty hehe. ill miss them so much so PLS SUGGEST SOME DRAMAS THAT HAS A SIMILAR VIBE TO THIS ONE. preferably something that also has a happy ending 💕 i know thats kinda rare in a xianxia drama so ill appreciate your suggestions!
havent finished it yet, currently 25/40, but ohmygod Su Yu’s character pmo so bad i hate him so much LOL the actor portrayed the character a bit too good 😭 hope he gets a bad ending lol
cdramas and their endings 🙄 haha i wanted to see more of them and their married life come on those few minutes at the end isnt enough!!
ngl the pacing can be a bit boring and i may or may not have used the 1.25x button but i still finished it because who wouldnt want to look at zhang wan yi and wang chu ran’s visuals!!! it’s insane!!! theyre both so beautiful 🥹
when i first saw this comment i was like HUUUH? and when i finished watching the drama, i just knew. HAHAHA it's one of those if you know you know moments
just finished all episodes and i felt like something inside me is healed!!!!!!!!!! 10/10 drama for me. im so sad i only watched it now. i dont see this drama being recommended as much as others and i initially watched it only bc i know lu yuxiao is in it but omygod this is my first zhang jingyi drama and shes soooo beautiful and i loveeed her acting here. her character in this drama is also just so so awesome. i think hua zhi is one of my faves everrrr now. the story is really good it's what kept me going! i dont think i ever used the 1.5x speed and thats how i know im fully immersed in the story. alsooo i think the name Blossoms in Adversity really fits the drama. that phrase is like the summarized version of the story loool. also also!! i love each character!!! and even though theyre supporting roles they acted really well too. some episodes made me ugly cry, which is the first time in a while!!! ugh!! EVERYONE IF YOU'RE CONTEMPLATING WHETHER TO WATCH THIS OR NOT PLEASE PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND WATCH IT!!! i honestly felt like 40 episodes isnt enough i wanted to watch them for 40 plus more huhuhuhu. OH AND IF YOURE WATCHING THIS FOR THE ROMANCE i dont think youll be fully satisfied because i feel like the romance is like only a subplot(?) of the story BUT I SWEAR THE STORY ITSELF IS AMAZING!!!!!! pls watch it and fangirl with me!!!! ps: sorry for the rumblings i really am so happy about this drama and also so sad that i finished it in like 3 days. huhuhu
- i like the story enough to keep me going - i was rooting for the SML (zhang zhe) so much for the first half of the series that i will definitely watch unveil jadewind after that airs just so i can see bai lu and wang xingyue together - i was not convinced of the main leads’ romance bc i feel like they didnt build it enough to make it make sense in my head, how the obsession of the ML started, when did FML start developing her feelings for the ML etc. I think i wouldve been more into it if we got more episodes focusing on them after the rebellion/coup happened, some cute romantic scenes here and there, but ig the romance(?) aspect is not what the directors wanted to focus on.. idk - the death of fangyin was so unnecessary imo even her death scene feels ridiculous for me i hated that they did that. wdym you couldve gotten away if only u didnt cling onto that guy? im not convinced shes that stupid - i wanted more of their life after they resolved the main problem with the rebellion/coup, i wouldve loved to see xuening’s father’s reaction to their relationship and how he accepted it, how life is like for yan lin, princess shiyi, and zhang zhe etc. Just one ep focused on those wouldve been enough for me tbh. i feel like i am owed that after all the things theyve been thru haha - overall still a good watch for meee i think bai lu is naturally so pretty and zhang linghe and wang xingyue is like rlly handsome lol. i loved looking at their faces. i rate SOKP 8.5/10
13 episodes in and i am shipping xuening and zhang zhe soooo hard 😭 i cant even feel the chemistry or tension between xuening and xie wei yet….. how long do i have to wait?? will i be left with second lead syndrome after i finish this drama sksksks
i just finished it in like 4 days and i liked it very much!!! someone pls suggest something similar or atleast something as interesting as this drama so i can move on and not feel too sad 🥹🥹🥹
their chemistry is insaneeeee i love that both of them knows how to act act lol. storywise, nothing extraordinary but it was put together well, the pacing is nice, the visuals are nice. ost is amazing as well. must watch for those transitioning from kdramas to cdrams imo!!!
i guess i just wanna vent my feelings out here cuz i have no one to talk to regarding my cdrama obsessions!
