Sigh, I gotta admit I’m not enjoying this show very much right now. I know xianxia is full of angst but these few episodes seem more annoying than angsty. It’s like the writers decided to create as much frustration as possible by letting the bad guys triumph for several episodes and bullying our poor FL. Also the ML is kind of useless right now even if he has stepped up a couple of times. For now, I’m just going through the motions and watching the episodes until the FL regains all her glory. She better give the Peacock clan, Qilin and that stupid Lady Hong a complete beat down for the remaining episodes.
Up to episode 11 and this show is good. It is absorbing and compassionate and very, very human. It is also wonderfully unpredictable at least to me. It is also emotionally draining as I get invested in the characters. Overall, I’m glad that we have this gem to enjoy!
Yeah I was thrown off by that but I don't think it is the Vietnam War period is it? Looks more modern than that.
You’re right? They seem to have dropped thesub plot about Pailin and Sue looking alike. While I am glad that they made Dave smart and not become love-brained just because Pailin looked like his dead wife but at the same time, isn’t he bothered at all? Wouldn’t her being around constantly remind me of the revenge he swore to take against the naga? Yes, he realized now that the naga was not bad but I would think he should have more of a reaction like guilt towards Sue even if the guilt is not justified.
yes I have watch raw waiting on sub for episode 27 and it reveal more about Drago, Dave, Kim love triangle in…
Yeah, ep 27 was not as slow. At least the story is revealing more details now. I guess we can only suffer our second lead syndrome since Drago is destined to be that SML that will not get the girl.
Haha - I asked for more romance and all I got was a hug and my second lead syndrome starting. I much prefer Drago with Kim right now - he's caring more and he even saved her a couple of times now. I know that Kim, in her past life, was always devoted to Dave, but Drago was always in love with her. Seems a shame that history is repeating itself.
Ok like everyone else, I’m so done with this heavenly arc and the stupid peacock. Can we just fast forward to past ep 24 because from the looks of it, it ain’t over yet even after 6 more episodes 😡
I enjoyed this drama but it was not as engaging or absorbing as Season 1. They did not pay a lot of attention to events and even skipped over major scenes that would have made the viewers happy like the wedding..everything was just skimmed over and it felt like the story was spread too thin. At least they did not skip over the love scenes.
Rid the ML in Phrom Likit was not as charismatic as Por Dech in Bhuppae Sunniwat. To be honest, I found all three characters played by Pope in season 2 to be somewhat disappointing. Por Dech despite being married to Karaked (Kedsurang) for so long, felt to be stuck in the old ages still, Rueang was not featured much and when featured, was sort of boring and finally Rid, despite given all the right prompts was way too passive for someone so in love.
I liked all the other characters especially the ones in the court and the Khun Luang. It was a bunch of good-looking men. Great was just so handsome as the King and despite being annoying at times, he turned out to be such a decent, fair character. He's got a fun scene in the last episode that he just stood out.
The final episode almost redeemed the show for being draggy towards the end but I don't know why it had to include certain events. I think it would have been a memorable show if it ended on the best note ever but it seems nowadays, writers seem to think that they have to include something unpleasant in order to make an impression on the viewers. Still one could think that the ending was meant to show how destiny and fate come into play in the cycle of life.
That said, I did enjoy this show and looked forward to each episode. I ship Pope and Bella a lot and I was imagining that what Rid was saying to Phuttarn could be applied to Pope finally confessing to Bella now that she's single - haha! The chemistry was undeniably good and I love that they still show the older couple as being all lovey dovey.
Also, I love the outfits - the way they matched the couples' clothing in color and style was so well done! All the guest stars were also a nice addition to the show.
The OST included songs that I liked from Season 1 and the ones introduced in Season 2 were also pleasant.
Overall, I would recommend this show. It would be difficult not to compare this to season one but it is still a very entertaining watch.
So up to 34 episodes now…I hope they get rid of that annoying Kong In…he’s like a spoilt brat that everyone is tolerating because good guys don’t kill bad guys just because…even though he has openly tried to kill them, they just cannot do the same to him 🤯
For once we have a fair Heavenly Emperor and he doesn’t last long. I’m going to stop watching until Ayin becomes her true form again. That way I can binge through all this nonsense
Same here! Watching a xianxia (The Last Immortal) now but it is going through the angsty phase now. I think I am going to look for shows with the comedy tag!

But I would like progress in the romance department too!
