IU is so perfect in this. She's hard carrying this drama and idc what other says. Anyway I just noticed the pettiest things, and lmao when the investigators broke in Yi-an's residence with bunch of boxes, like what exactly are they planning to confiscate in Huiju's room? I would think she only brought clothes with her but why were there even folders? HAHA.
Finally done! I watched this because I'm craving for revenge dramas after The Glory (Kdrama) and as a revenge drama, its pretty satisfying, she ran them through the mud, and even gained a new lover for it. There are parts I don't really agree with, but the closing episodes had been underwhelming, like they were running on a tight schedule and needed a closer so bad, and the finale made me like...okay?
anyone else really disappointed in the last 6 eps? it was a 10/10 for me before that, and then it really shifted...…
I feel this, like they build up so much on the rebellion and they didn't deliver much, very anticlimactic. And Xiao Heng's trusted aides died right at the ending?! Speaking of, don't get me started on the ending...I'm all for open endings but maaaan
Currently watching this and I think this will be one of the few C-dramas I won't be dropping. Anyway, I'm on ep 30 and in the past episodes, I feel like Jiang Li is so imposing on the Ye's. The Ye's aren't part of her revenge, so it's so unfair they have to house her sick father and that she had been taking advantage of her Shijie, basically making him her gofer, just because she knew he has feelings for her. That part was really annoying. I also get the part that she wants to make it hard for her ex-husband, but her insistence to play the main part for the Zhao delegation was just weird, I don't think it should be part of her vendetta. Also, I know her actions also benefits Xiao Heng, but I feel like the amount of help she's getting is disproportion to what she's giving Xiao Heng. She doesn't even want to be questioned but she can make 100x demands.
After 2 episodes, I'll definitely continue watching this. I hate the politics-side, I have this strong urge to skip the Queen Mother scenes, but I'm holding strong so far. I feel bad for His Majesty, he is a just a kid! I like IU here, her character kinda reminds of JJH's Cheon Seong-Yi, who is very unapologetic, the only difference is that IU's chara is also book-smart. But yeah, I love Hui Ju's spunk and pizzazz, and I hope she stays that way for a very long time. I hate it when a strong character becomes weepy in the presence of a man. Leave that weepy to the ML for a change. Yi-An is so-so, like I get where his loneliness stems from, but I'm really more interested with HuiJu. I've seen criticisms of his acting, but there's really not much to work on with a character like that. Maybe he'll have more "human" scenes in the next episodes. Also, it's not the actors fault, but when they panned the camera at him with slow-mo, a dreamier filter, and sharp takes on his best angles, that trend has to stop. It's just becoming cringe.
His fans have problem with judging his ( non existent) acting after 1 ep but have no problem with rating this…
Fans like those are the reason why I skipped a lot of dramas, if the comments are 99% about visuals, I'll never watch it no matter how much people rave about it.
I'm a sucker for monarchy-esque dramas so I'll be catching the first 2 eps...I really want to like this 🫶 Alaso, based on the trailer, FL is pursuing ML? Sign me up!
For a revenge drama, the ending was so satisfying. Dong-eun was so unapologetic and I like that, she stayed true to her revenge, none of those she turned soft because of love, or because of Ye-sol's, she really pushed on and that was the best thing about this. She kept her eye on the prize, come what may. As for ML, it was too short and too fast, they should have done a different season for that.
I love JJH so even with a recycled gumiho plot, I will watch this 🥹 pls make this really good, JJH's MLFAS is my fave drama of hers, but that pedo is in it, so its hard to watch.
I felt like the ending was quite anticlimactic compared to the fast-paced beginning and high tension middle. Nevertheless, I love this drama! It didn't falter and plot twist over plot twist. Wort h bingeing. Love FL, she's such a breath of fresh air esp her face, none of those overly white skin Chinese prefers. She's so natural with her acting too. More of this kind of drama, hopefully.
I know it’s a time-loop drama, but the way the leads handle things is honestly frustrating. They keep repeating…
The female lead has looped more than 10 times and still seems clumsy --- in her defense, she's operating on a very short time from the time she woke up to the explosion. I can forgive her clumsiness since there's no guidebook on what to do when stuck in a time loop
