Part I was OK ish but lots of belief suspension required. Pt II was defo worse for me it went from survival horror to Lord of the Flies. I skipped through the last couple of episodes.
Thank you! I have been looking at it in my dropped folder and wondering if I should have another go at finishing…
4 years later I have finally dragged myself to the frustrating finish (with a great deal of help from the FF button). I seriously began to think that at least the FL had some sort of developmental problem she was soooooo awkward. By the time I FF'd to the end credits I really didn't care anymore and was actually disappointed when they got back together. Even in a dry period of desperation don't bother watching this mawkish, maudlin, meandering mishmash of pantsness.
try watching based on the ranking here and see if you like the top ones.
Out of the top 10 Blossom and LGiEF are the only ones I haven't tried. Don't mind me I'm just fussy. My list of On Hold and Dropped is twice as big as my Watched list. I've voted for the ones I completed and found some to try in the list, thanks for putting it together.
Not usually my thing, Sageuks, but this I enjoyed came for and stayed for the Zombie but some sterling work by all involved. Still not my sort of genre though.
I'm only on episode 11 so maybe things change. I disagree with you though, some things are not just a matter of…
Not sure I'd call Crowned Clown and Empress Ki light dramas but each to their own. Couple for you The Fox's Summer and The Story of Ming Lan (which is light like Yanxi Palace) and That Fool for an oldie.
"Duke Su always the puppet master, and never losing his composure or risking anything." excellently put I found myself FF ing through his scenes for that reason, no risk no fun.
