No, I'm being serious, you'll know if you watched the drama, I didn't mention the writing because it has issues, the rest are all of high quality for me.
Okay, after a few hours of watching episode 15 and reading the comments, most of which are negative—and I contributed too—I want to highlight some positives about this drama after cooling down. It has great cinematography, a satisfying cast in terms of visuals and acting, a compelling OST, stylish clothing and appearances, strong directing, and an engaging story with flawed main characters (at least in the beginning), which was refreshing.
I think that was actually good because of that, we knew something bad will happen, we knew someone will get hit…
It's true that the anticipation of something bad happening did add tension to the moment. However, as a viewer, I've seen this scenario play out so many times that it's lost its impact for me. I long for more original twists.
From my observation, Park Ji Eun has the most promising first half in ALL her dramas and you actually think "Wow,…
I couldn't agree more. I always begin her dramas with high anticipation, hoping they'll become one of my top favorites. But, she always seems to lose me toward the end. What a shame. I watched My love from the star/The legend of the blue sea/ Crash landing on you and now QOT
Spoilers for episode 15. The things I'm mad about—I didn't mention the last scene because I saw it coming, and…
1- Seriously, hiding the knife, you just stole for a crime, in front of the camera? 2-How did they even get the killer's phone number to send him the link? 3-Was throwing a celebration for HW's discharge really necessary, especially with just one episode left before the finale? 4-While hearing the aunt's confession through the town's speaker wasn't entirely new, it was a nice touch. But the timing just felt off. I couldn't care less about them in the midst of all the main couple's problems.
I can't help but notice that whenever JJH runs, it seems like he's struggling and moving at a slow pace. Especially during the chasing scene, where the other two participants appeared to perform better than him.
Having just finished the final episode of The Legend of Shen Li, I feel compelled to acknowledge its standout conclusion. Unlike many xianxia dramas that rush their endings, this one dedicated an entire episode post-climax, allowing for a satisfying resolution. While the series isn't flawless, I found myself fully engaged throughout, which is a rarity for me. Completing it without skipping much content was a significant achievement. One of its strongest assets lies in its production quality—the OST, CGI, and costumes were visually and audibly stunning, elevating the overall experience. Despite its lacking plot, this drama is worth considering for its impressive production values, strong and smart FL and ML, as well as their great chemistry.
The scene of the two main leads running towards each other and standing on opposite sidewalks, waiting for the green light to cross, has become all too familiar. It's practically a cliché now for one of them to get hit by a car. Every time we encounter such a scene, our hearts race as we wait for them to cross the street safely. It's hardly a plot twist anymore. Nowadays, what's truly unusual is for them to reach each other without any bloodshed. I hope all Korean writers take this into consideration for their future projects.
Your loyal K-drama fan.
