Oh I say! half way through and this is splendid - I can see I'll be greeting like a babby by the end of this one. If I could find the comment where this was recommended alongside 49 days I'd say thanks.
The pacing in this is all over the shop, so far I'm surviving it by only watching the Joseon Ladies and using FF to get through the rest. Still we are halfway through by episode count yet it feels like we are an eighth of the way in in terms of story.
After episode 9, I came to a conclusion that this drama is junk food of K-dramas: you feel full when watching…
They have all basic ingredients but it's as if they are meal being made for a fussy child's palate. Like ramyeon without the sachet of spices... or an egg. You can eat it as an an adult but it's just for sustenance not for real pleasure. I find many romance Cdramas have a similar feel all fluff and no real jeopardy. You'll think back in a years' time and you'll be hard pressed to remember more than a scene at best.
Almost but not quite. Had hints of being different and having a something to say before fizzling to a wut? ending. I still don't get why she fell for him? Oh yes, rich and handsome means we can forget about all the shit bits. Gorgeous visuals though.
Zhao Lu Si is her usual charming self but hasn't really been given much to work with in this, I got to ep. 5 and boredom had well and truly set in. Not even the pleasure of watching her expressions could carry the plot. I may drift back but I'm finding the attention paid by the older boy to a little school girl a bit uncomfortable as well. Just not enough non creepy reasons for him to be so invested. Hey ho, I might watch I hear you again for a Lu Si fix as consolation.

Sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooored
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!
On another topic why do they always show theses terribly thin Kactresses wolfing down fodder like no tomorrow? Food doesn't work like that man!
Less stuff going would have made it a winner.
