Great and fair review. I enjoyed reading your views. I really love watching Zhang Wanyi and I'm glad he decided on something different and try light comedy. I think he did a fairly good job. I agreed that the writing of LMT character was really lacking and Wang Churan has lot of room for improvement. Her portrayal of LMT during their separation really took me out of their love story. She wasn't able to convey complex emotions. As for Shi Xueji, she really grew on me and I was rooting for her. She's so likeable. She has a kind heart, inner strength and wisdom.
Seriously, I felt bad for her as well but I'm still able to discern their situation. I feel that the extreme hate on the ML was unjust. Both are grey characters. Throughout the lies, we see him being conflicted. Then later he sincerely apologized to her. Overall, ML had good character growth. I have no problem with her being angry and cold to him. She needs time to reflect on herself and relationship. My problem is there wasn't enough show of emotional conflict on her part to the viewers nor the love even in her private moments. We mostly got the cold and I don't care vibes. Writer failed to connect the dots on her character after the breakup.
I love this drama but at same time I am perplexed by the magnitude of understanding male leads get. I am in episode…
Well, the ML did get some hate here and on Viki. If you go back to the earlier posts, you'll see some discussions here regarding the ML's lies. Some go as far as saying ML deserves to die.
I came back here because I missed this drama so much. I literally love everything about this series. Yes, the…
Well said. People who watched this as a whole and non-novel readers ended up enjoying it more. I enjoyed second season as well. The characters touched me on an emotional level which is a bit rare these days. I still listen to the drama's OSTs.
Where y'all heading to next? Unable to move on from this gem(╥﹏╥)Please help to find a nice…
I'm not particularly eager to watch anything that's airing at the moment. I have to finish Dashing Youth because I put it on hold to watch Are You The One. Maybe I might try Melody of Golden Age later.
The empress character and story is what I've been looking for in dramaland. Stuck in arranged marriage, but still…
Empress is someone you want to root for. She's that likeable character who's really classy, kind and smart. She has that inner strength that you admire.
