BORNO

No offence to the actor playing SML but he is definitely going to be on my list of most annoying SML's. According to me he's got no character. I was ok with him in the beginning but the moment he tried to kiss the FL just when his dad passed away, i was like what the heck dude? You had tons of moments to confess to FL since your childhood but to do that when FL was consoling him because he lost his dad and was feeling low, really made me frustrated. You really thought of taking advantage of her when she too was confused about the whole thing.That moment created so much hate for me towards him that lately i am skipping everything with him. The other thing was since the beginning he was so negative in nature. When everyone was hoping for ML to win, he was always giving negative commentary and was trying to pull down everyone's hopes. Please give him less screen time.

Sorry bro. It's been so long. As far as i remember this is a cute drama with no unnecessary drama except that one misunderstanding. The leads like each other and there is no place for another person btw them. If you ask me if there was another person liking her, yes but i don't consider that a love traingle coz FL never wavered.

This drama is gonna become one of the most underrated dramas after it finishes airing. I think the makers made a mistake of not starting the drama with FL's past tragic story. Most hit dramas always start with the past or go in a straight timeline rather than coming back to the past in the middle. By not doing so here made Lu yan's actions unjustified. Audience were unable to connect with his character, his longing, his pain when he came to know that the spirit of saintess got swallowed by the FL. Maybe they wanted to build the plot slowly as they don't have much story for 36 episodes. I like it but you can't expect the same from everyone. Only a conflict for every 2 episodes work in dramas these days. It should be a life and death, heartbreaking and gut wrenching kind of conflict or it should be a serious love traingle where the guys keeps fighting for FL and fan wars go on and on about whom she should choose. Suddenly a SML with no acting chops gets so famous. Why? Because audience liked his sad face and they want to console him coz he got rejected by FL over and over again. To the makers you should be making more n more dramas with these conflicts atleast you will get famous. Why bother making slow burn dramas with beautiful costumes, locations and amazing cinematography?

Bai shi qi acts with very maturity. I like her. Hope this Gu Bei Xi stops acting so childish. I hope he should make it clear to FL that he loves her and get the whole thing sorted. Still i think Bai shi qi is too good for him.

Don't mind all the negative comments. If you are interested in watching slow burn dramas with less angst, this is the drama for you. I work for like 13 hours a day, so i prefer watching something soothing like this before going to bed to not spoil my mood and getting hung upon something.

Li qin as saintess made huge impact even though her screen time was short and it completely outclassed Yu deng deng. Would have liked to see more of the saintess but it felt nice too that the makers did not push it too much but just enough to make her stay on your mind.

Agree with you. Most people are not into slow burn romances these days.

The story between ML and FL was great but not very convinced about remaining characters. Black dragon's story was ok but i think the scope for his love story got wasted but i am glad they gave his love story a closure. Idk if there are any SML lovers here but please forgive me from saying this he was a total buzz kill. From start to finish i never felt his love towards FL which made it very unconvincing and him always trying to bring FL towards his side made me annoyed. It was ok for a few episodes but it got so repetitive that i did not want him to have more screen time but in some episodes he got more screen time than the leads lol. What's wrong with that chidi woman's story? and that guy too who's always trying to bring her back to life and the drama kept showing it like that the guy was doing something legendary. It would have been a lot better if they avoided all these supporting characters love stories. But it would have been better if they showed FL's master love story. FL, ML, Black dragon, chidi woman or wan qing and jieli are the only characters i liked but that's just my opinion.

Such a soothing story, very eye pleasing and comforting. To all the haters of Ren jialun stfu. He doesn't need kiss scenes to show his love. Ep 13 says it all. Those eyes alone shows his longing for her. I think the dramas he chooses mostly does not need those kiss scenes. They are more of innocent and pure sort of love stories. He plays mostly noble and reserved characters. Guyz who are thinking of whether to watch this drama or not, definitely choose to watch it. I think the people behind this are geniuses. I mean it's really tough these days to find a drama which keeps us interested without constant conflicts. Even the most popular dramas out there will run just based on those conflicts coming one after another that it's really tough to find a straight couple of episodes without conflict or angst and to make a drama like this which goes at a same level of pacing and still it won't make you feel bored is really amazing.

I guess he really admired her and respected her. But i think the saintess loved him. In ep 12 he told her about love between man and woman and giving up life for one another. I think she took it to heart and really gave up her life to protect Lu yan. He might be thinking that she did so to end the war but he didn't know that she loved him.

Episodes 10 to 15 really captured the ML's struggle. Those episodes were really good and realistic. They raised my expectations for the next episodes but they dragged the ML's issue too much and even didn't close it properly. The bromance was very good. Give this a try guyz if u want to watch something with no angst but don't keep your expectations high. A one time watch feel good drama.

Lol replying after a year seems pretty bad. You might have had already watched the remake by now. If not the remake didn't follow the original one. The ending is different. The actors seemed good but they changed the story. Maybe they should have followed the original. I think they didn't want it to have a harem ending and that decision made them to change the entire story which turned to be not so great.

Why so much hate? I liked it. First of all one shouldn't have such high expectations over mini dramas. They make use of their limited budgets. Don't complain about the ending as i definitely think that season 2 will come out. Maybe ML is a lost prince or something. So, they took him back to the palace. We can clearly see a guard or someone following him in the last 2 episodes.

Basically every popular historical drama out there has this setting. LAR, EL, ELOD, LAD, WRTW, listening snow tower, The legends etc. Maybe you have watched all of these.

I don't understand why so many people here are saying it's dragging. This pacing is pretty common for 16 episode k drama. If you find this a drag then you haven't watched enough k dramas. This one is a lot better when compared to others. Most dramas lose their essence after the leads fall in love which usually happens around 8th or 9th episode in k dramas. But the mystery build up in this drama is actually nice. There was this suspence in the air since episode 1 and to maintain that till now(episode 14) says a lot about the quality in writing. Didn't have much expectations going into this one but I am glad i started watching it. No toxicity or angst and that alone is enough for anyone to start watching this. Recent k dramas haven't been much of a crowd pullers but i hope you give this a try. Start with low expectations to enjoy this more.

There's a vampire named Borno in the tv series "The Strain". Thought it was cool n started using it. Glad to kno u too. I m from India

Totally unrelated but hey glad to know. Sorry peeps for using this section for this drama unrelated message. Yeah I am surprised. Not so often I come across someone using this name. I started using it a long back mainly for game accounts. It's tough to always come up with a new name when starting a new game and most names are in use. So, I started using this name for every game.

Definitely looking forward to it just for Seo in guk. Regardless of the drama's popularity he's in, one thing that's constant with him is, the characters he plays are always awesome. For me I consider his acting in The smile has left your eyes as the best. Hope with this drama he will best that.

So that fans and drama lovers can get enough of him, Ji sung once again playing multiple roles

Thank you. Been searching for a good one. Found one c drama " Love the way you are(2022)". Only watched till ep 7 for now but definitely felt like a mature story for a c drama. Seems like it is a remake of k drama something in the rain but with better execution. Never thought that i would be watching a remake but it's one of those days. Hoping the remaining episodes would turn out to be good. Coz if this one don't end properly i will be taking a break from watching.
