Oh my, just saw the news. Such a great actor. RIP :(

Welcome back Park Shin Hye after short hiatus after marriage and having a child. Looks like she's back with a bang with two dramas.

Remember, in first episode, she was an anomaly already. No two fire phoenix queens existed at the same time. Maybe she isn't a fire phoenix queen? Hmmm... maybe bigger?

I am only speculating, I know know nothing, but I think like in Ancient Love Poetry, they are of equal status. Both becoming true gods. You can forget that old hag, she's irrelevant.

Why can't they air these episodes faster?? :|

I actually really enjoy this xianxia. Very light and fluffy. Perfect escapism into a fantasy world.
It's not perfect, the production quality can be much better, it's what you would expect from 5 years ago, the computer graphics and set sometimes feel lacking in quality.
But I like the story, characters, and the pace seems just fine. Looking forward to every episode, my main drama now.

Did anyone notice the floating hand while ML was in bed?

Finished tonight after some time and I liked it very much overall.

I want to mention this though, it borrowed a lot from IU's Golden Hour concert theme, I feel like, I felt like I was watching IU's concert whenever the FL was doing such a thing, ESPECIALLY at the end.

But fun drama.

I also notice the IKEA wood figurine. I wonder if they got permission to use that as well?

I feel like the ML and FL actor too self-conscious in their roles. I don't see the characters, I only see the actors.

Pretty good joseon era kdrama. Clearly a more comedy focused drama, and a steady paced drama.
If you like light-hearted kdramas then this is a fine one, reminds me of Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency (2019), very similar style.

Finished it tonight. I give id MDL rating of 8.5. Not bad, but not amazing.

It's not awesome, it's okay, but I would recommend My Journey to You with Zhang Ling He and Yu Shu Xin (Esther Yu). It's a faaaaaar greater exercise in drama, better chemistry.
I love Bai Lu, but this is not working for her.

A rather stale cdrama IMO, chemistry between leads not good. Interesting though, but who knows...

Very unique kdrama, time travel fun, and full of life and joy.

there's light romance yes.

Better than I expected from a medical drama.

Not been looking, but I know it's available on non-legit sites. I prefer to watch on legit sites such as Netflix or Viki, since video and audio quality is better and subtitle translations are much better. So I will wait until it becomes available.
I sent a request to viki to allow playing of the show in my region, hopefully more people do that.

I have a feeling it's one of those typical office cdramas, which I get easily bored with and frequently drop. Chinese office/business dramas are just awful sometimes. There's always this uncle that is the antagonist, and there's always this antagonist 2nd FL coworker female that is disappointed the ML likes the FL and doesn't like her. And the story revolves more about saving the company in the last episodes because of some project that is failing because a third party seems to have stolen something or done something malicious. ChatGPT could generate better stories for these "template" dramas.

But with all that being said, I will most likely try this out. :/
Although I think this drama is more about "trying out the ML and FL pairing", in case they decide to make an expensive xianxia with them as leads.

Well, I feel like I have already dropped this drama because I can't watch it. Not sure when ep 5 airs I will continue to watch it, because this discontinuity is bad because I can't remember exactly the story so far, so when I return to dramas after such a hiatus I don't feel as immersed in the story and have forgotten side characters.
So what if they make money selling it in other countries? If people are going to downrate this drama then it won't sell much or get watched much.
