I never re-watch anything no matter how much I love it but ...this drama..it's been 2 years and I'm still not over it. but thinking about how much I cried my eyeballs out when I first watch it I think re-watching it would be self-torture lol
he really left a deep impression on me in ever night...will keep an eye on all his future works. I think he will shine especially with more serious roles in the future when he's older
really really wish he picked (or got) more interesting scripts. he's one of my fav c actors ever just because of guardian but none of his other work seem interesting to me at all...his talent deserves better, more unique, scripts
I'm also shocked when I see comments here and other places about how much they loved his character....I don't get the appeal. He was fine in the beginning and became more manipulative and calculated. Yes he had a tragic story but tragedy is never an excuse to manipulate others. The way he manipulated jinmi and xu feng was disgusting to me - he manipulated jinmi for his own selfish desires (he KNEW she never loved him but still acted possessive) and he was cruel to xu feng although xf had no direct role in his tragic past...xf genuinely loved him even though xf's mother treated ry badly. even till the end after RY basically caused his death xu feng still showed that he loved and respected him as a big brother :( Runyu was just too unlikable for me by the end because of these reasons - yet he still was forgived by xf and jinmi
one of my fav cdramas ever but i still don't understand why runyu's character got so much screen time...to the point where deng lun's character felt like he was a second lead. I only watched it recently but I saw a comment that said that people on weibo were also complaining about him having more screen time than the ML while it was airing, is that true?
I like this drama more than other low budget current air drama like "To get Her". The story line is more interesting.
yeah me too..the budget for hua rong isn't that high either but the storyline with pirates is really unique..I think thats why it caught the attention of a big international audience. I hope they take note of the international interest and get more subbers :(
hate how alot of these kdramas with 'unique' plots always start off interesting but fizzles out and is underwhelming by the end. idk why it's like that (i've even seen knetz complain about it). Regardless it was a drama with lots of potential, and both lead and side characters were all so lovable. I'm shocked that I even warmed up to baekyung at the end. So despite it's flaws, the likability of all the characters, plus the 'existential' idea at the core of the drama is enough to leave me satisfied despite the underwhelming ending.
1) NO DUBBING YEEE
2)bai yu's character is gonna kill me omggg
3)the villain(?) looks very promising (..and hot)
