Somehow I find her bickering to be annoying and over the top. The ML is cool and collected and he is following his father’s instructions not to demolish the shrine but the FL is inconsiderate and rude. She just wants to finish her mission for her own selfish reasons. I don’t know why Kdramas always portrayed so-called strong feminist FLs as annoying, stubborn and petty. There are better ways of portraying strong FLs. Sigh!! I’m just talking to the moon for all I care. Anyway, these are my own opinions
I have watched up to 6 episodes, and somehow, I don't see any onscreen chemistry between the ML & FL. Oh well, let me push onwards because I like Rowoon.
I have watched both dramas, Meet Yourself and Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha (HTCCC), and I don't see any familiarity in their story lines, other than a burnt-out city person who moved to a quiet village to recuperate. There are so many dramas and movies with such similar premise; does that mean all these dramas and movies are plagiarising HTCCC? To be honest, I like Meet Yourself more because it tells the story of a quiet yet charming village trying to survive in modern times (due to young people moving to the cities to work, and only the old people and children left behind) and how the villagers work hard to have environmental tourism to attract business (+ money) to their small sleepy village. Meanwhile HTCCC is about a seaside village that became a cure and new home for a brokenhearted FL who met a jolly jack-of-all-trades with a broken secret. That's my summary of these 2 different dramas. LOL....
I’ve just finished this drama and I felt exhausted after finishing the last episode. LOL. I noticed that the ML was shot on his left shoulder and I am sure was not death threatening. Hence, it’s possible that he is still alive and came back to see her after 5 years in hiding. Maybe there will be a S2 after all. LOL.
I saw clips of this drama on TikTok and I thought it seems to be familiar to Maid’s Revenge. OMG! what is going on with these hot spicy mini series lately? I can’t even finish Maids Revenge because I can’t take it seriously. LOL… Now this new Cycle of Love pops in my Viki page. You have convinced me to watch this now. LMAO.
I LOL when I read this line of yours "Fang Tianyi is the kind of alpha male hero that struts around flaunting his magnificent chest..." I must admit I love looking at his magnificent chest and abs...LOL
You can also try A Familiar Stranger. It actually has a great plot. I think these are the two best mini dramas…
I was going to watch My Journey To You once half of all the episodes are uploaded. It's a pity it is not on Viki, because other sites don't have good subs.
Thank you for reading and your kind words. Lol - I remember those novels too! Youku keeps rehashing this theme…
My Everlasting Bride's FL is the FL in A Familiar Stranger. I like her acting, and she has a unique look. Maybe when I am bored, I will try to watch My Everlasting Bride.... LOL. I read a comment from a reviewer that Maid's Revenge is like a Thai Lakorn, and the viewer is right. LOL.
I always love reading your reviews. You really write well and be witty too. I saw bits of these drama on TikTok and I was actually surprised that they filmed such scenes. I used to read thrashy romance novels that had such sexy scenes. LOL. But I was not tempted to watch the drama because I felt disturbed about how the ML treat the FL.
You mean body shaming the green couple lady? I think she is very adorable and her boyfriend really loves her.
I personally find the questions to be too personal and invasive. Some of the questions are not appropriate at all, and I guess the PD or Production company wanted some shock factor to boast ratings. However, they are dealing with real people's lives and some of the answers can have bad effects on the couples life; Plus, there should be a disclaimer to say that Lie Detectors are not 100% accurate because the machine measures the pulses and heartbeats of the people being tested; There are many reasons why someone's body will react differently! Maybe stresses or confusions; I feel bad for the couples who were claimed to have lied when they actually telling the truths.
