I think the overall story is interesting but there are just too many disturbing elements (the loud BGM, the stalker…
What is BGM, and why is it loud? I have watched up to episode 8 because I can't resist watching the ML getting crazy because of the FL's indifference towards him... hahaha... :))) However, I fast forward the scenes of the stalker secretary chasing after the girl-phobia doctor. Cannot stand both of them... LOL... X-))
just started. its a fun little show. so weird seeing FL in regular clothes.. she was the older sister in untamed.…
Really?! No wonder she looked familiar. She has a lovely kind sweet face, and in this drama, she is really hold up quite well against the dominant arrogant boss/ML... LOL.. :)))
they reconcile back together in ep 21, but then all out again but they get back together again in ep 23.
I cannot believe there is 36 episodes for this drama! The producers should have just kept it at 24 episodes and save the viewers some time and frustration... hahaha... :))
Hahaha... yes, I actually like Thai lakorns, and in the back of my mind while watching this C-drama, I was thinking it looks too much like a Thai lakorn... LOL.. :P :P
You are right! I started watching this drama yesterday because the story sounded interesting but after watching up to episode 10, I got so sick of seeing the poor sweet FL getting abused, tortured and mistreated in many ways (incl. poisoned, hot oil thrown at her face, hot wax on her injured hand, whipped, water torture, etc.) in every episode by jealous the concubines and the stupid and weak ruler/ML didn't help her nor do more to punish the jealous mean concubines. How then can I get to like this drama? In addition, I noticed that the flow of the story is not consistent and not interesting enough for me to invest my time to stay in the story. Perhaps I have been spoiled by the Romance of Tiger and Rose drama... LOL.. :))
Please watch this drama on the WeTV app because it would help the show to have a second season. The VIP is cheap…
I actually downloaded the WeTV app just to watch the last few episodes that were not subbed anywhere else. I loved this drama so much that I was even willing to pay the VIP fees; that was how desperate I was... hahaha.. :)))
Can anyone explain to me what made him change his mind about the plan with the wine in episode 1? I'm rewatching…
Good you ask this question. I was also wondering the reason why and despite watching the scene many times, I could not figure out why. I thought it was because Han Shuo got startled by Qian-Qian comment that she wanted to quickly finish the drinking so that she can go home as soon as possible. Perhaps I was wrong.
After finishing this wonderful drama a few weeks ago, I still cannot move on. I really liked it. Episodes 28-29 are my all time favourite in the drama; I even re-watched the ML/Lu-Yi's amnesia scenes so many times just for laughs. Lu-Yi as "8-year child" was so cute and adorable that even the FL/Jin-Xia just lets him jump into her bed and sleep with her during a thunderstorm. I just love the part where she lovingly stroke Lu-Yi's sleeping face and when he woke up to innocently ask her what's she doing, she told him that she was hungry (for him!) and tried to kiss him ... but alas, it was only her lustful imagination... hahaha.... Also the part where the ML still pretends to be a child (after he recovered his memories) was so funny (beginning of episode 29) - where Xie Xiao discovered the ML & FL in bed the next morning and chaos ensured; the part where Xie Xiao forced medicine down his throat and he spits it back to Xie Xiao (LOL !!) - then he quickly ran to Jin Xia for help; where he quickly held onto her arm and playfully touched her head with his; also the part where he play with her forearm and held her fingers lovingly (which drove Xie Xiao mad with jealously - LOL !!); All the affectionate little actions of Lu-Yi towards Jin-Xia shows clearly that he adores her - although she was oblivious to this !! This drama is really so good....
Edit: 6/25 - I have been going back through the index of scenes with the lead couple, to correct any errors. I…
Can you please forward me the link where I can find your summaries? I really love this drama and I have re-watched the cute scenes between the main leads.
In my opinion, you can still have good romance in dramas without lips kissing scenes. I used to watch lots of…
Totally agree about Allen Ren and Tan Songyun's amazing chemistry in Under the Power. Personally, I prefer not to see any kissing at all because I just hate those bad or fake kissing scenes - especially those cringe-worthy, dead-fish kissing styles seen in many Asian dramas. Ouuiii.... LOL
I just finished ep. 24 with decent subs at DramaCool and I must say, though not the best drama out there, it’s…
Ok, after reading all your comments here, I will start watching this drama. I was looking around for another similar C-drama to watch after finishing the Romance of Tiger and Rose, since I still could't get over this lovely cute drama. I tried watching similar rom-com period C-dramas; e.g. To Get Her (dropped), Love Better than Immortality (now on-hold), Oh My Emperor (dropped!), and Dreaming Back to Qing Dynasty (dropped)... hahaha.... OK, now off to see My Dear Destiny ... Wish me good luck... LOL...
I love Allen's acting - it is very subdued and he knows how to play those cold character well. He also has great…
In my opinion, you can still have good romance in dramas without lips kissing scenes. I used to watch lots of Bollywood movies in the past, and lips kissing was forbidden. So, they were good at creating sensual passionate/romantic scenes between the ML & FL by just increasing the sexual tensions, e.g. getting wet and transparent in the rain moments, long hungry love stares, heavy breathing, whispering in ears, or hot/soft kisses on hands, arms, shoulders or necks, and foreheads. What happened to old-fashion courting methods? Can you imagine Allen Ren doing all these to his female leads? Ohhh la la.... Hahahah...LOL.. :))
this drama was filmed in 2018 before the new laws were released.
OH NO!!! No kissing scenes in 2020-filmed shows? Maybe they can improvise and just kiss the hands and palms, or necks, and then quickly disinfect the actors....hahaha....
However, I fast forward the scenes of the stalker secretary chasing after the girl-phobia doctor. Cannot stand both of them... LOL... X-))
