Going to be honest, this series started out really great, loved the moments between the ML’s. But for me it went down hill fast around episode 7, when the support couple was introduced. To many plotholes, to many random storylines start without finishing one first. The whole premise of who killed the Azura dragon (XLY’s boss) and XLY’s sister never gets solved, which personally I thought the series was going to end on. XLY getting arrested and the storyline of the two ML’s just ends there, like seriously? I get they are building on making a season 2, but with it being a CBL there is so much doubt if there is ever going to be another season. Onl1y for You also did this, banking on there being a season 2 and it never happened. Besides that, the cinematography was beautiful, the using of light and colors was well executed throughout the series. I loved both ML’s acting, a lot of micro-expressions, which was needed at certain scenes. I think i would’ve liked it more if, the series was longer, with decent introductions of the support couple, storylines that actually make sense and don’t start random.

Score; 8,5/10

Im half way through episode 16 and I don’t know if I want to continue. I loved the first 13 or so episodes. But after FL returned to the palace everythihg changed for me. I loved her free in that village with the family she build, in the palace it feels like she is locked up in a golden cage. Not to mention the fact that she just jumps back into being the daughter and sister of the king and cousin. I don’t like how they overwhelmed her with memories, to the point where it felt like she was reliving traumas at every corner. I don’t like how she not even there for like two days and both father and cousin are already pushing her to acknowledge them. Like let the girl breathe.

But what I most of all don’t like is the fact that FL doesnt have any chemistry with her cousin or with Shiqi. FL doesnt seem to love Shiqi even though she is saying she’ll wait 15 years.

The only one I truly like for FL is Xiang Liu. Even though their start was very rough, he willingly changed for her, wants to be better for her. Everybody is scared of him, except for FL who teases and pushes him. Their banter is beautiful and hilarious, they get each other by their shared experiences and trauma. But ever since she went to the palace and he took the love poisoness bug in for her, his scenes seemed to have dwindled drastically. FL clearly loved him otherwise the bug wouldnt have gone to him.

He’s the only character that is exciting to watch. Cousin became to vicious and Shiqi to soft, I just wish he would have a bit more backbone.

So far I’m just keep hoping that FL will chose Xiang Lui, but sadly I’ve already been spoiled by the comment section under viki. I think they could be great and I think XL is the only one who would fit with FL and her messed up passed.

I feel like the writers couldve written an epic love story, an enemies to lovers kind of thing. And they blew it, there were numerous moments already where FL and XL sparkled together, where they shared something special and romantic, what could’ve been them dating. So many chances yet FL never took any of them, I felt like with XL, she truly could be herself, especially after he becomes softer towards her. With the others I always feel like they want her to be a certain way.

I just don’t really know if I should even finish it.

PS: only thing I really need to know is if viewers ever get to see XL in his 9 head serpent form?

They get together in episode 19 and episode 20 was I believe the wedding. Even after the wedding it’s kind of a slow burn, so be warned.

Im up to episode 4, does the FL ever grow up and be more mature? She is so naive and ignorant, I know it’s probably because of how she was raised, her parents kept her uninformed about everything it seems. I feel so frustrated with her, only thing she can think of is food and leaving. And like I said, I get it, but she isn’t even trying to get along with ML. ML seems to be having the patience of the world with her, but FL doesnt reach out ever. She constantly avoids him. Same with those lessons they are getting, why not use it as an opportunity and a learning experience, it could help her down the road. FL has no idea how good she has it with ML as an husband, especially with the standards of those days. And parts of me gets it, you are forced to marry a complete stranger. Maybe it’s me just being in a different mindset, but I would at least try and get along, be civil with my husband.

I hate the fact that China is censoring even the slightest passionate kiss, but they have no problem showing the most deprived and inhumane abusive up close, for scenes upon scenes. And they don’t even bother with a trigger warning, I came after Are You The One, but was not prepared to witness that. I’m doubting to even watch it further, I’m half way episode 6.

Yeah I’m at ep 20 and geel the same. Though the brother and the girl with the two brothers, I at least saw there mutual respect and kindness towards each other. With the ML and FL it feels more one sided.

I’m just halfway through episode 20, and the FL is kind of pissing me off. At this point I absolutely believe ML fell head over heels in love with FL, his emotions were sometimes so painful to see, but with this FL I don’t really see it. She at times is so stiff, maybe it’s the chemistry between FL and ML that I find lacking, maybe it’s because I feel only the ML is really trying. I’m only half way and I’m wondering what more is coming, I’m not looking forwards seeing 20 episodes of this FL trying to push the ML away and her being a bit selfish towards ML. Hopefully this break up period will be short, because I can’t stand couples who do this (speaking for in series).

Finished it, it was okay. At some point it gets a bit boring. Wish the FL would actually open her mouth during kissing or show some kind of enthusiasm while kissing the ML. Most of the time she had those lips locket and looked like she didn’t want to be kissed at all, it’s fine during the moments where she actually doesnt want to be kissed. But at some point they are kissing each other for consent, etc, and she is still giving off that she doesn’t want to be kissed. It made it hard to watch and it didn’t make the love between the two characters convincing at all.

Honesyly I hated the ending of this one. FL was selfish and only cared for herself and her “mission” meanwhile ML was devoted to her. He went through a lot to make her happy, he hurt himself for her time and time again. To the point of actually dying. FL couldve been happy in the other world, so many people liked her, and after SFL was dealt with, she could’ve lived happily, carefree with ML. Instead she died or faked her death, ML died because of that and left his mother alone. So FL gets her mother back but ML goes to a world where he has and knows absolutely nobody except FL. I helt out hope that FL realizing she actually loved ML, she would change her mind and stay there. For me they kind of ruined the series with those last 2 episodes.

To My Shore's Director new RedNote update!

- The artist have been working non-stop to clear their schedule, to the point where their eyes are bloodshot, just to have time to come out for this shoot. To shake off sasaeng (ss) followers, they took a "red-eye" flight, heading to the airport at 2:30 AM, but they were still followed!

The entire team of over 20 people has been moving between locations non-stop, carrying large bags, small bags, and equipment.

Everywhere we go, we are followed. This has resulted in us being unable to complete the filming. If we truly have no way to finish this shoot, we would like to apologize in advance.
At the same time, we sincerely request that everyone across all platforms refrain from paying attention to or spreading any photos and videos of us abroad! I want to ask for the help of all our fan friends; we very much hope to complete this shoot, so we hope everyone will join us in protecting the artist and the work.

So if we don’t get the those extra episodes, we can all blame those crazy sasaengs.

😉

I get it, I just Fast Forward when I rewatch, they don’t have many scenes.

Just wondering, how many people actually listened to the warning others gave before this series started airing, those who read the novel and said this series is not for the faint of hearts. Did you took a moment to think maybe I shouldn’t start this series?

The 4 are watching a horror movie together, Eliot our Enigma is a frightened bunny, same for Seeky.

I saw, but honestly if they want to believe so badly that they are related, fine by me. I’m pretty sure they’ll keep that scene with the PI in the series, so if they indeed show it, it’s going to be a nice surprise for them. Personally I didn’t care when I read the webtoon nor watching this series if they are actually cousins, they can’t reproduce. They didn’t really grow up together, even if the series changed that. I watched The Unknown (it’s one of my favorite series) and there is also the whole step/adopted brother genre, also didnt care. But I know a friend of mine won’t watch it. It’s their choice really, I just don’t like that this person above is giving out misinformation, even after being told differently multiple times. Synopsis on MDL have been wrong before, just look at the synopsis of Abo Desire, it’s a mess. Also why would they give away the biggest plot twist of the story in the synopsis?

For crying out loud I just explained it to you, stop thinking you know all. Listen to the people who actually read the original source or read the manhwa or novel yourself! Il Jo’s mother was a woman in her 20s abandoned by the father and couldn’t handle being a single mother. So she left Il Jo at a church and the nuns of said church brought him to an orphanage, where when Il Jo was around 6 years old, he was adopted by the uncle. Nobody in the family knows this, except for the aunt who didnt agree with the formal adoption. The aunt is dead, which Jeong In blames Il Jo for. Everybody in the family thinks Il Jo is an illegitimate child from an affair the uncle had, which isn’t true. There is no familial connection at all between Il Jo and Jeonghan or anybody else from that family. Jeonghan only finds out the truth around chapter 60 of the manhwa, so again can you stop giving out false information you have no clue about!

Here you have the chapter again, you can read it for yourself
https://xbato.com/chapter/3241936

Again, stop saying things like you know stuff when you clearly don’t know anything, nobody in the family knows Il Jo is adopted, they all think he’s an illegitimate child out of an affair the uncle had, thats why Jeonghan thinks they are cousins, thats why everybody thinks he’s a family member.

Go read the manhwa, better yet I’ll send you the exact chapter Jeonghan finds out Il Jo is adopted, then you can stop talking about misinformation.

https://xbato.com/chapter/3241936
Half way through the page, Jeonghan hired a PI to find Il Jo and the PI discovered that Il Jo is an orphan.

Who is the one having delusions, pretty sure you are. A lot of us (including me) read the original source and the manhwa! The aunt didnt agree to the formal adoption, so the uncle couldn’t formally adopt him! He’s an orphan, who meets his biological mother later in the manhwa, which didnt go how he hoped it went. Quite while you are behind! Stop trying to sound smart when you have no idea what you are talking about!
