BUT that's it! lol

I usually do the same thing but I went to watch just the first episode and got immediately hooked and kept going and going and then waiting and waiting. lol

there are more of us further down the comments section. We all hated it.

Oh yeah, now I remember. Thx

It's not. 9 years maybe, but not 5.

Yeah, they belong in another costume drama. I hope you've watched one of the best power dramas in a long time Pursuit of Jade.

fair point

What is Express?

I've gone back 3 times to rewatch that. lol

I am screaming over the tub scene. OMG this is the power drama to beat in 2026. Their chemistry is so hot it makes me melt!! Thank you to the director and the wonderful actors and actresses who have acted their butts off and weren't afraid of the kissing and the passionate scenes. I can't say enough about this drama. So fantastic!!

She is undercover. And he's the Don of a crime syndicate. ??

I like her so I will go and watch that. However, she was hugely pro "A Dream Within A Dream" while I didn't last past Ep 5. Then she couldn't stand "The White Olive Tree" while I found it to be one of the best dramas at the time. lol We all have such varying tastes. Esp between different countries.

Thumbs up

I can see your point, but endings like this just piss me off and spoils everything else.

I also liked Xiu and Yu's very realistic journey, more than the others. Jiang Xin is already an accomplished actress so I'm not surprised by her acting skills. Esp when she saw the huge photo of her husband and LuanLuan kissing. What wife wants to see that? However, I have to admit that I was all for their divorce and hoping for LuanLuan. Xiu and Yu were terribly mismatched. I hated XX and even when she started wearing on me when she was at her parents, I still could not warm up to her. The ending annoyed me and actually P***ed me off. As you said, they should have ended it with her swimming off. Thanks for your great review.

But all the friends were criticizing it saying it wasn't realistic, etc. It just sounded like the whole drama was actually the "movie".

I really hope you have dropped it by now. Ending sucks.

I agree about the OST.

Not just you. As Americans, we were raised on certain entertainment criteria and the Asians grew up with theirs. I can't get into most of their TV game shows because I don't understand how they do things or why. lol I also watched for LYN, but this is the 2nd drama I've watched or tried to watch for his sake and have been left disappointed. Right now, I guess he is on a singing tour and won't be doing dramas for now. (saw this on a quick YT feed). I so hope he comes back with another power drama. Course his ADWAD was hugely successful as you said, with Chinese and ranked quite high. What can I say?

True. Couldn't stand Xiao Xi.
