loving the series, the cliffhanger of this last episode was really cool, but it's sounding like those cliffhangers that don't go anywhere in the next episode. If he doesn't recognize her I'll be pretty upset, I hate those cliffhangers that make you think one thing and when the story goes on, it's not what they made you think.
I totally agree, it's been a while since a drama caught me right in the first episode. I'm even kind of sad because I hate watching episode by episode and the wait stresses me out, I like to marathon them all at once. But the main couple, wow is wonderful. I loved the chemistry, the interactions, everything. I hope the story develops well. The secondary couple didn't really suit my taste, but it's still too early to tell.
The drama is pretty cool, but it's starting to get repetitive, I don't know if it's because I'm used to watching dramas with 16 ep. I think things develop faster, here it takes a long time, the dialogues are very similar in certain characters, For example DoHee and Kyung Joon more than 10 ep that their every interaction is threatening each other always in the same way. And that goes for almost every character. Each episode brings us two or three new facts, the characters give a quick shake, but soon go back to orbiting the old quarrels. We're halfway through the drama, I hope the characters evolve a little better, so much potential, there should be more romance going on, not just with the main couple, more sparks should be happening. I think it's very weak in that sense. And if it takes too long, then in the end the whole thing is rushed.
As was to be expected after so many electrifying events, the series takes on a lethargic cadence. I get a little frustrated with the development of certain characters. I hoped that the love between Sori and Haru would be explored in a more intense way. But as we still have a long way to go, they may be saving it for another stage in the series. Overall, it's a nice series to watch.
Until the auction , I liked it but from past few episodes it’s meh 😑 for me…
I think the same way, after the auction, it lost its way a lot, the story is full of holes that bother me a lot. first the rong gave the opium plantation to the general, now it's the end of opium in the rong as ML wanted. When ML takes control of the family after the auction again he talks about ending the Rong opium trade, and tells his uncle to do it and disband the henchmen. I thought to myself, but they weren't finished, ok I must have misunderstood. And now they are once again waging a war to end the Rong's opium trade. The action sequences are disappointing. A very mature drama for the childish way ML loves FL.
Qy and Qm started the series almost the same, Qy a little meaner with her selfishness, and Qm a little kinder with her innocence. Over a short time they reversed, Qm got a little meaner, and Qy got a little nicer, but like normal people, that's until about chapter 20.
There Qy becomes synonymous with virtue on earth. and Qm the incarnation of the devil on earth. Why do authors need to exaggerate so much, to show the evolution of characters, people grow and evolve but they don't necessarily need to change from water to wine.
I don't really like this habit of authors, villains can be villains without all this exaggeration. Just like the good guys don't have to be all virtuous. People have more flaws than strengths.
Authors could look for this more in their works, this tone of reality would be very welcome. Qy spent two-thirds of the drama, chasing his rights and his happiness, even with some slightly selfish attitudes. QM couldn't just do the same thing. But no, you have to put her to say that her sister died that she would sacrifice anyone for him. and make the public hate her.
The anime is cute the classroom atmosphere is excellent, now tell me why 90% of ML have to start the drama being…
30 episodes, 3 quarters of the series creating expectations about Sobue, and this was the best they got. I thought it would appear like a Cha Eunwoo, but no, a very normal actor appears. neither beautiful nor ugly. If they hadn't hidden him from the public, I don't think I would have this feeling of disappointment seeing him now.
The anime is cute the classroom atmosphere is excellent, now tell me why 90% of ML have to start the drama being rude. What a strange fetish this is, it's a cultural thing from the west, it's not possible, in my country, being rude certainly doesn't get you anywhere. If I answered someone like that, I would be blocked on the first message and that would have been the end of the drama lol
Mydramalist is not the best place to see popularity ratings for dramas, mainly Chinese, https://movie.douban.com/subject/35160900/ this is the best site to look at. Unfortunately, there are no ratings for this drama yet. Mydrama scores are very high, far from reality. is more in line with the public that frequents this site, well addicted to dramas lol. So here people don't take a lot of things into consideration, such as quality of production, quality of dialogues, acting, well-told story. This drama on the douban website will probably get a score between 6.5 to 7.5 , which is already admirable. Rattan, one of JING TIAN's latest dramas, has 8.1 here "I particularly consider it better than this drama" in douban he has 7.0
If you came to watch the series for the romance, forget it, the dialogues between FM and ML are boring to watch. The relationship develops in short and lengthy steps, the dialogues are repetitive, they are always running on the same premises.
The drama is very mature, but ML's attitudes towards FL are very childish, quite out of step with the rest of the drama. Lots of comments saying that FL doesn't want revenge on ML's family just for his father.
Make no mistake, everything she has done so far and continues to do is to destroy the Rong family, I haven't seen any attitude from her to minimize any of the sabotage she plots with the meng to destroy the rong family.
The drama is very volatile, FL has moments that appear very concerned about the misfortunes that ML is going through, and the next moment FL comes up with another way to sabotage his family. Remembering that she only shows concern for him, I don't remember seeing FL regretting what might happen to the rest of ML's family.
Just to be clear, I'm not criticizing her motives for taking revenge, or whether or not she should take revenge.
In episode 31 at 31:50, Wen remarks that "it'll be hard to take advantage of their weakness" - implying that if…
At the meng auction almost killed all the most powerful families in the city, the police were at the hotel door and did not enter. if the police are on your payroll it would be easy to catch the rong's crimes, if the police are not, then why was there no repercussion on the auction bombing, which was massive. apart from that he would have made enemies in other important families in the city.
That's what I say, the story and its content is getting weaker, more disconnected. The meng, who were infiltrated in the rong family, got tired of ruining their business, and now he decides to prove that they are criminals.
It is precisely to create a pretext for ML to redeem his family, which in my view takes away all the value of this redemption, since they do it to protect themselves from the meng. I respect your opinions, I think they are well-founded. and that's how we grew up, with differing opinions.
In a drama that takes itself seriously like this, these disconnects in the narrative bother me a lot. Mainly because they take the context of the story out of reality, making the city itself seem very surreal. The theme of this drama is well reminiscent of Al Capone, and the beginning of his fall was precisely the Valentine's Day Massacre, where he killed 7 henchmen from a rival gang. Which doesn't compare to the war that the meng fought at the auction.
It would take so little to make this narrative more real, helping a lot to focus on all the struggles and efforts of the characters. The story was so slow in the beginning, that now there are only 8 episodes left to end all this fight that has been built. the biggest plot twist, which was the ML finding out about the FL, went down the drain, it was as if the ML knew it from the beginning. simply because there is no more time to focus only on their romance.
The Japanese have to do something, ML's father has to pay for his crimes. ML has to have his great redemption and save his family and his loved one, Apart from all the war with the Meng, which needs to be won and the Meng himself pay for his crimes too. has his half brother. outside the entire history of FL's past to be defined and how it relates to the ML family.
the story is getting weaker. ML takes the leadership of the family, "we are at war with the meng family, and they are equivalent to our power. So my tactic is to end the sale of opiun that generates our biggest profit and disband a good part of our henchmen." the episode has a whole emphasis, in ML thinking his tactics worried if other families can take advantage, and that's what he decides. If they weren't at war with anyone, I would even find it plausible for him to say, "from today, no more crimes" but in the middle of the war with the arch villain, he wants to be true to his character. It's asking to die.
why do some lakorns need to be so sick, what a sick fetish for ML brutes to the point of being criminals. Emotional abuse, rape, how can a woman fall in love after all this. I understand that the LGBTQA population there is really big, so men like to be macho. But that's exaggeration, it's criminal, it's bad taste. So many lakorns, beautiful, with fun, romantic stories, even with this love and hate theme, that don't appeal to these grotesque things. I honestly don't understand. Are Thais really like that?
I love it so much. I even got a separate youku subscription in youtube just to watch the fresh eps with eng sub…
Looks like I'm watching another drama, very different from yours lol. I think the relationship between FL and ML is very immature, especially the way ML courts and chases FL. Episode 13 and 14 were for me the lowest point of the drama so far.
ML runs away from the hospital all broken, to run after FL, no maturity there, one day he's hospitalized all bruised with bandages, the next night he's perfect, without any injuries, rescuing the drunk FL.
I thought the drama would be more mature, like "The Rational Life (2021)", but it was my mistake, and as the drama is kind of childish, I think the way the story has been unfolding is ok.
Otherwise I agree with you, the second FL and ML are very weak, and the performance of the ML is not as good as the performance of the FL. Sorry, I have a different opinion from yours, I thought your opinion was great, and that's how the world grows with different opinions :D
