Flourished Peony on just its 3rd day of airing has already exceeded 100M plays and the real-time ratings were 0.5548%, topping the TV ratings list as number 1 among all currently airing series from different platforms! It's doing really well locally!^^
Let’s talk about SML, I knew him since the movie The Yin and Yang master and he’s really a gentle man type…
Personally, I have known the SML since even before >< I first saw him in Bloody Romance (which I recommend, as a rather unique drama setting of its trope). He was also playing a SML there and was supposed to be a "villain" with a soft spot for FL. I liked his performance and I remember pitying him like how I do now here . Surprisingly he was also wearing a green costume there as his color and he is indeed very beautiful in period costumes^^
The problem is that theres no big stars in this series and its very competitive right now with other big series.…
For me top spot for January is definitely Floorished Peony based on the first 2 eps and spoilers i have watched the quality is up there (which is why it's already topping all charts). But Blossoming is also hooking so I would say a close 2nd with Moonlight Mystique after it...For Dafeng I really couldn't get into it personally...The comedy and the princess's character kinda spoiled it for me. But honestly, all of these cdrama are not even 3/4 into the plot where usually most fumble...So I can't say which one will manage to keep their rank to the end!
Kinda same i guess haha.... For me so far I tried all of the above plus Floorished Peony by watching the first…
I actually did! It took me 2-3 eps to really get into it but now it keeps getting more interesting every ep I watch! I hope it can keep this up and not fumble in the middle like most cdrama this year...
I too loved Blossom. I’ve checked out Dafeng, Moonlight, life is a choice, and this one. I’d say I’ve found…
Yep, peony will be an angsty one, but I don't mind as long as we get a HE and a solid plot (which is expected based on novel spoilers) >< As for your current rank, we are about the same: peony>blossoming/moonlight>dafeng Dafeng is surely my least favorite of them as well...Be it the princess character or the comedy it all feels kinda fake and forced to me idk...
I just finished episode 16 and although I tried, I think I'm in a drama slump. I enjoyed Blossom, tried Guardians…
Kinda same i guess haha.... For me so far I tried all of the above plus Floorished Peony by watching the first few eps and I am leaning more toward Moonlight Mystique and Floorished Peony I think...For this one I want to give it a try as well ...what's your impression of it? Since you reached ep16 and all.
I too loved Blossom. I’ve checked out Dafeng, Moonlight, life is a choice, and this one. I’d say I’ve found…
Actually, peony was my most anticipated but until like yesterday it had MTL so I could barely understand...Now that Viki has picked it up I will definitely tune into it after I let it marinate some more! Based on 1 ep I watched it was right up my alley! Now for the rest...I have checked first few eps of Dafeng, Moonlight, and this but none of them was gripping enough for me...Maybe Moonlight...For this drama, I think my biggest issue as of the first 2 eps is the CGI...But if the overall plot and acting are good I don't mind watching past it...That's why I asked.
I was so sad when I saw the MTL eps so for Viki to pick this up is truly a blessing!! Ep1 was interesting and based on the summary this could become my new fave but there are far too few eps available rn so I will let it marinate some more >< Btw for anyone who has read the novel, is it HE?? Tho based on the last 2 lines of the drama summary it already sounds like happy ending! "After a near-death experience, the two worked together to put down a rebellion, and both retreated into the world of heaven and earth."
After the Blossom I am once again in a cdrama drought...None of the ongoing dramas rn seems to have grasped my attention fully...Maybe Moonlight Mystique but even that is not as engaging... So, umm, is this drama worth watching and does it get better after the first 2-3 episodes?? I knew the FL from past support roles I have seen in other dramas I enjoyed and added this to my list, but the 1-2 episodes did not impress me that much, and the CGI looked kind of bad. I have a certain amount of time I can dedicate to series daily so it would be helpful to know how it gets later on and if it's worth it.
They have already recorded eps on Hello Saturday and Keep Running tho? Will they appear again?
Omg that's quite unexpected... Isn't it usually only for 1 ep while promoting for their cdrama? Now I am excited! I hope they do appear again cause I loved their ep!
Okay so long time ago I started Princess Agents ( the drama had just fully aired at the time) and I had to stop watching mid-way cause of people saying that the couple wasn't together at the finale and that the ending indicated for a S2? Which led to me shelving it away until news of S2 comes up... So is this Rebirth supposed to be the continuation but with new cast or will it just share the same universe but different timeline?? I am asking so I know if I should re- watch and continue Princess Agents...( tho I can tell that with the filming happening now this cdrama will air at least 1-2 years later at best lol) Personally I have come to know of this cdrama cause of Li Yunrui from Blossom I kinda became a fan of his but I don't think I can see him and the rest as the "new" cast of Princess Agents characters the vibes are too different if they pick up from where it left...So I really hope it's a new plot setting!
Soooo goodddd!!!! I haven watched such a good non-messy historical drama in a while!! Highly recommended to watch…
I first saw Ji Yong actor in the Spirealm (truly recommend this if you like bromance/mystery/multi-cases solved plot) and ever since he keeps surprising me pleasantly with his range!!
It was bit long and could have easily cut 4 episodes. First half was great but MLs brother and the couple had…
It was just 3 eps from 27-30 and I think they couldn't spread it out because of Song Han's hidden identity that could only come out after his parents were gone...I was also annoyed by their arc I won't deny it but with how the storyline was woven that part was needed...It's just that Song Han's traits and love story make for a very ugly sight that makes it hard for viewers to stomach...But considering the whole of Blossom its one of the few cdrama that have given so much screen time to the main couple overall!! Up to around 27 eps it was all about them when usually fans are unsatisfied cause of supportive characters taking too much screen time through the whole thing in most cdrama.... So toughening it out with it for 3-4 eps wasn't that hard for me!
What a wonderful text! Deep, sensitive, fair, lyrical analysis, delicate as the magnolia flower. Your words, so…
Thank you so much for your wonderful message! I'm genuinely surprised and deeply touched that you've been following my texts and previous analyses. I usually stick to the comment section, avoiding the MDL Discussions and review sections. However, Blossom has finally inspired me to write my first official review, especially after months of drought in the Cdrama world. Your kind words about the quality and flow of my writing have truly made my day! It's incredibly rewarding to know that my thoughts resonate with you like the gentle flow of a river and the clear reflection of a lake. I will definitely take your advice to heart. It's heartwarming to think that my work has found a place in your reading. Thank you once again!
Went downhill from ep29 onwards. So UNsatisfying. To think this could be THE show of 2024! To think it could be…
Personally, the only disappointing part for me was episode 29 itself, mainly because it focused too much on villain Song Han, making it a rather frustrating watch. However, the last 5 episodes were absolutely perfect! We got a wonderful happy ending for our lead couple, all the villains faced karma and their due retribution, and all our questions were nicely answered and wrapped up. So, I don't quite understand what left you so unsatisfied.
