But also I'd be interested to watch season 2- there is something about a fake beach show... I must want to travel!

I like the idea but I feel like they missed used the time and the set.
I kept on going "Wow what a great place, so romantic/ friendship spots" but then the participants would be upset about the food or getting water. I feel like we never got to see honest conversations- they would show a clip or make a comment that made me go "oh they are not showing us everything that is going on". I wish that were was more activity's to bring people together with new experiences- I felt like no one was connecting really. I had a hard time caring about them as we don't learn a much about them. I liked the hosts, it was like I was watching with other people but I feel like they had more screen time than some of the participants.

TBH- this for me was just a job for them, no one was looking for love. I felt like most of them are there to boost their jobs. I also think it was heavily produced to try to force conflict for entertainment. I spent most of the time wondering why Jia packed so many handbags and what use did she expect on the beach? I'm sure it was some kind of IG deal. xD

Its almost 20years....Guess you've not watched it, if you did you'd understand. Its also not an uncommon plot for back then- that is what I meant.

Nope they do less ^.^ I don't think you understand my point of there being multi mains and not just the main couple. The plot is very different here than other dramas that only use the main couple to fix everything. Here many people are needed to push the goal a long. Thus leading me to be less interested than normal.

That's my point- they are not the main focus- FL not even trying to solve the problem of the frost.. thats her clan! Both of them don't really care about the demon and what to do about that issue. Normally the leads have to do all the work to fix everything. I felt as time went on the main couple was used to just keep people watching and I think they have less and less time(unless needed for fighting) as the plot moves a long.

Its there but not steamy- sometimes I like to feel the heat instead of deep eye emotion lol

at lest its a happy ending tho

It is very sad and depressing and more so in part 2. I understand what you mean by it is missing something. For me the issue is the main couple is not the focus but instead is a main lead cast- they say they are support but for me they are just as important to the plot which leads my feelings being muddy as there is a lot going on to distract from the excitement.

There's a lot to like about this drama and equally to hate lol Anyone else feel sad and depressed by part 2? I also really enjoyed the evil queen fairy vibe. She really got a great part, best outfit, and most character development out of all of them. I lost count of the number of times I cried this season but I want to say at lest 6. I do like the ending- I do understand them; all the main leads and subs have an ending which is nice. I'd recommend this to people that do not mind if the main couple is not the main focus of the show. Now I say this because they are NOT going out, working and solving every problem like other dramas. The other roles are just as important to solve the main issue- sometimes the main couple do not even know something is going on. There is a ton more sad moments than happy for sure!

Yes there is a double triangle- mostly one sided love. The chemistry is stronger in 2 but as far as romance-its more like deep looking into the eyes and misunderstanding in their way with a ton of sadness and depression! xD

I waited so I could watch both 1 & 2- sadly I forgot about it in the months between the start and the end of the show lol

No prob! It had the protentional to be great. Its really too bad

ML: fact that none of his clan is looking for him and no time is given to his family. I wish there was more about his dad or something- CGI of his body was super weird, yes I understand that a tail is needed but they did his whole upper body too.
FL- I wish she had her short hair longer. She plots so much its hard to see her true feelings sometimes. We never learn her backstory: She was brought to the flower valley but we don't know anything about her family.
-Weird fairy dance; idk I found it to be really creepy. But they do a great job of making her look like a fairy.
-I hope we see more of the blue butterfly and wine guy
-I wish we could see more of the bobcat clan: those guys that come see him are fun.
- I enjoy the twist to the freeze issue
~Just some random thoughts I have.

I'm trying to decide how I FEEL about this- on one hand the start was great, actors are doing great, set and outfits are great.... BUT I hate how there is soooo many sub plots. There is a ton of characters introduced and I get interested in them but for me they are around to distract from the main plot. I really feel like the Leads have less and less time. With a part 2 I can't really say if its worth to watch or not.

I agree it can be hard to watch- For me it is all the sub plots.

me too

I made it pasted 2! BUT for me there is so little interaction between the leads that I don't even know them. I don't know any of the people enough to be attached to their plot. In an hour and a half I expect something more than her trying to "thank him" but get it wrong. IDK- let me know if this is worth it to re-start lol I just think there are better things to watch.

1. Them being in a contract marriage- is just weird and I wish it was done differently.
2. Main couple- I like how they are hiding things from each other until they start getting serious about their relationship. Hia should have explained the family issue sooner or not brought it home or his mom should have said something. I wish that Kuea's other proposal attempts are shown, would be funny to see Hia out smart him. Its not miscommunication that is their issue its miss trust and unwilling to show your true-self on both's side.
3. 2nd couple- I'm going to skip over cold man issues, everyone knows what I mean by that but he is just extra horrible at it and takes too long to warm up But I like how Diao is keeping secrets from him- its almost like a teen hiding hobbies from their mom. For me- sure they are a couple once everything is understood BUT their memoir issue is stupide. They are basically saying it was a dog attack and Diao's been living with him ever sense. So thats like 10yrs? But they act like strangers at home- I wish there was more to their plot to develop them as a couple. The dad plot was pointless.
4. 3rd couple!?!- Listen I needed more of them, cuz they look like a great couple. They should have been given the 2nd spot instead.

~The build-up is great but once I got to 10? or 11 I knew things were going down hill quick. For me the ending is rushed by the proposal issue- I just want to see them happy.
But I do like how they High-light current LGBTQ+ issues- one of them being marriage. They really used this show to spread the word about how unfair it is to love someone but not have the same protection/laws as other couples. I don't think I have seen another show be so blunt about it.

I really enjoyed this! It was the comedy, the sweetness, the steamy kisses, and shy/ cutie bits. Now its not perfect, but what drama is. The plot is super simple turning this into a light hearted drama. For me the plot is more about 'showing the true you instead of the person you think the other one would like better"... its something that both couples struggle with. The acting is good, the music is great, loved the comedy- I'd recommend this
Spoiler for issues-

Oh! as far as the romance goes.... Its more of the deep connect then steamy. TBH I can't even remember if they did kiss or not. Its more sub plot.... Its there to pull you in instead of the focus.
